The Best High-Concept Horror Movies That Are Totally Worth a Watch According to CBR

There's a reason the horror genre has rarely waned throughout filmmaking history: it's incredibly versatile. Whether audiences are in the mood for supernatural stories, slasher films, psychological thrillers, or gore fests, there's a sub-genre of horror for everyone. That also includes fans of high-concept horror premises, whose stories are simple but incredibly compelling. Anyone who's ever written a high-concept horror film (or attempted to) will readily admit that just because a story's foundation might be built upon a brilliant and unique idea doesn't mean it's necessarily going to work. Sometimes, it can make the story that much harder to break. But when high-concept horror films turn out right, they generally become fan favorites with a shelf life that far outlasts their contemporaries.
