15 Movies Where an Unexplained Supernatural Phenomenon Infects Humanity (Ranker)

"Pandemic anxiety is captured perfectly in these films about unexplained supernatural phenomena infecting humanity. Whereas narratives involving traditional viral outbreaks or zombie-type contagions tend to follow a familiar pattern and narrative formula, the infections in these films are more mysteriously presented. Their originality lends to unpredictability, making the threat even more unsettling. Not only are these films about supernatural phenomena unique, but they also often remain unexplained in the resolution of the narrative. Although some provide some clues to the origins of the infection, even these answers tend to be rather abstract and purposefully unfulfilling. However, many of the films provide no answers by the time the credits roll. This allows for the events to take on symbolic meaning, and for the story to remain focused on the effect of the phenomena on the characters and humanity as a whole." - ranker.com
