20 Horror Films That Will Chill You To The Bone In 2015
14. Somnia
Oculus was one of the genre surprises of 2014, and it made the very prospect of staring into a mirror terrifying. This time around, Mike Flanagan, the director and co-writer of Oculus, has found a new fervent ground of mundane activities to tackle. Enter Somnia, the director's look at what happens when an orphaned childs dreams take on a wicked reality for the adults around him. And with a cast that includes Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane and Annabeth Gish, there is likely more going on here than its unassuming synopsis would imply. The film has been rated PG-13 in the U.S. for violent content and terror including disturbing images. Some horror fans may be disappointed to hear of the family-friendly rating, though if Somnia carries on in the spirit of Flanagans existing work it will be more about atmosphere and suspense rather than graphic, grisly content.
