10 Perfect Sci-Fi Horror Movies You've Never Heard Of
3. Silk (2006)
Do you like sci-fi stories? Do you like ghost stories? Have you ever wondered why the two come together about as often as tequila and good decision making? Well, the concepts rarely meet as they are diametrically opposed. But there is at least one movie that combines the two.
Silk, also known as Gui si, is a thrilling tale of technology and spiritual activity. It follows the escapades of a crew of ghost hunters and professionals as they use advanced technology to capture the spirit of a ghost child and communicate with him.
This is a film that lures you in with its slow pace before launching into an all-out assault in the climax. As you learn more about the child's past, you come to fear the danger the experiment is leading the characters into.
The focus on technology helps this Taiwanese horror to stand out within the supernatural thriller genre, as paranormal haunting stories are a dime a dozen. That's not to say this chilling tale of ghosts and mystery isn't utterly gripping in itself, but it does give it that extra spice.
You don't want to miss out on this delightfully niche genre combo.
