Sixth is “The Doll That Loved Me” from Sony. A little girl receives a doll for her birthday. She doesn’t move. But at night, she looks at the child. And smiles. Then, she begins to move. But not to scare. To protect. The film is horror without evil. Only misunderstood love.

Seventh: “The Last Breath of the Forest” by A24. People living near a forest begin to choke—even when the air is clear. They see trees crying. Their tears are voices. The voices of those they’ve forgotten. The film is shot in the style of “The Forest”—slowly, with silence that becomes a scream.
Eighth: “The Echoes of My Name” by Neon. A woman learns that her name isn’t hers. It belonged to someone else. And that woman is still alive. And she’s looking for her. The film is a journey through lists of names in archives, through old photographs, through letters that no one sent.
Ninth: “The Quiet Room” by A24. This is not a room. This is a state. People who find themselves there stop talking. Stop breathing. Stop wanting to live. But they don’t die. They just… disappear. The film is shot without sound. Only silence. And glances.
Tenth is “The Last Night of the World” from Netflix. People all over the world begin to see the same thing: the last night. They know that tomorrow the world will end. But no one knows why. They don’t panic. They just… prepare. Some bake bread. Some write letters. Some kiss. The film is not horror. It is repentance. And a last breath.
