Malicious supernatural forces, evil in humanity itself, destruction at the hands of both: is there a capacity for light amidst the dark? Can terrible, "ugly" things be considered beautiful? The concept of aesthetics are partly the basis of the film medium, so naturally it makes sense that throughout the history of film, the idea of what is considered "beautiful" has been bent, modified, changed and re-arranged countless times.
The films compiled here are thematically dark and often disturbing in their subject matter, however -for those who are willing to look- there is also certain kind of beauty that can be found and experienced amidst the rubble. While most of them tend to fall into the horror genre, all of the films included here are complex enough to allow space to breathe outside of the feeling of terror.
