When a film is alternatively known as ‘the deadliest film ever made’ you know you’re on the right track for this list. Antrum is a 2018 Canadian horror, telling the story of a supposedly cursed film.

Everyone loves a movie inside a movie, and Antrum provides the whole feature for your enjoyment - bookended by observations and musing of ‘scholars’ on the content of the film.

Antrum’s fictional history has earned it a bad reputation with film festival directors dying after watching it, a cinema burning to the ground during a screening and an audience riot resulting in the death of a pregnant lady. Anyone who watches the movie seems to meet an unfortunate end or be involved in some horrible incident.

To make sure everything is clear (as things can get a bit messy when you’ve got the meta situation of a movie where people talk about another movie that is inside the movie you’re watching), both the film inside Antrum and the documentary bits either end of it are fictional. It’s all made up. The curse is damn powerful inside the film but in the real world you’ll be fine if you watch it...

...we think.
