Premiering in 2018 before being made widely available the following year, Peter Strickland's In Fabric is, on a basic level, about a possessed red dress that wreaks havoc for all of those who it comes into contact with.

The thing is with In Fabric, there is so much more to digest. And unlike the majority of the other movies featured elsewhere on this list, In Fabric is a genuinely great film.

Playing like a classic giallo of yesteryear, this picture has a stunning sense of style to it, with Strickland marvellously crafting an engaging, tense story from a premise that could easily have resulted in a mockery of a movie in someone else's hands.

As In Fabric commences, we find Marianne Jean-Baptiste's Sheila treating herself to a new dress as a way to cheer her up after a recent divorce and working at a job where she is constantly berated. It soon becomes apparent that this dress has sinister intentions, and Sheila and her inner circle are quickly terrorised by this garment, before the dress then sets its sights on terrorising a whole new bunch of people.

By the time In Fabric ends, the possessed red dress not only has plenty of blood on its, err, 'hands', but it even manages to be the only survivor of a fire that took down the store the dress was initially purchased from.
