10 Horror Movies Starring Game Of Thrones Actors You Need To See

8. In Fabric

Natalie Dormer The Forest
A24

Convincing you to watch a movie about a killer dress isn't an easy sell. However, the critical reviews and surprisingly high quality of this feature are all that is needed to persuade you to give this strange title a go. Furthermore, there is an appearance from the ever-popular Gwendoline Christie, who helps to contribute to the tone and vibe of the film.

The movie tells the tale of a dishevelled Bank Teller named Sheila, who purchases a dress from a strange shop for an upcoming date. From then on, things get supernatural, as the fabric garment begins to cause destruction and chaos whilst harming, maiming and even killing several characters.

It's an utterly absurd premise, but the film does a surprisingly good job of making you take it seriously. Rather than fully committing to the B-movie plotline, it presents itself as a genuinely profound title with a dry wit and sarcastic tone. This ends up making the film genuinely grounded and artistic, leading to a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

In Fabric is an excellent example of taking a concept that shouldn't work, and bringing it to life effectively.
