A haunted mirror, and a sister trying to prove it killed her parents by filming it destroying her too.
John Cusack alone in a hotel room for most of the running time, and it is the best single-location King film.
Del Toro doing full gothic romance. The house is the best thing in it and it is sinking.
A suburban family, a television, and a chair-stacking sequence that has never stopped being copied.
15,000 dollars into 193 million, and a decade of imitators nobody asked for.
Wan's best jump scares and the film that built the modern haunting industry. The Further is silly and it works.
A twist that survives a second viewing, which is rarer than it sounds.
