The Big Picture For as expansive and experimental as the horror genre is, so many movie plots can be reduced to "be careful what you wish for." And it's understandable why so many filmmakers love this premise. In a medium built around people undergoing terrifying experiences, having someone's own choices come back to haunt them is always horrific to watch.

The Room HorrorFantasyDrama A couple discovers a hidden room in their new home that grants them any material wish. As they indulge in their desires, they soon realize that their dreams come with unexpected and sinister consequences, leading to a suspenseful exploration of greed and the human psyche.
