Top 5 Horror Movies with a Unique Selling Point

The story follows the standard found footage format, and follow a group of people who buys the abandoned Abaddon Hotel to convert into a haunted house experience. While the series does not innovate the format, it does everything just right with the scares, story and acting for an engaging trilogy. I’d say the second one is the weakest of the movies but I did appreciate that towards the end every single dangling plot thread from all three of the movies is bought to a conclusion.

 

Lights out

USP: Stay in the light if you don’t want to die

Lights out is movie that came to fruition after the popularity of a two minute short created with the same name that acted as an extremely effective trailer for the movie and a marketing team’s wet dream. Now the movie does suffer from the issue of stretching s two minute concept to a full length movie but ultimately it works, even though the whole movie still ends up short. The concept revolves around a monster that can only attack people in complete darkness.

The story focuses on a girl named Rebecca, her younger brother and perhaps one of the few actually sensible characters in horror movies, Rebecca’s boyfriend Bret (because he had the foresight to GTFO when things got weird). The spirit in question has ties to their family and the lights mechanic makes for some unique visuals and scares. The use of light in facing the monster has also been done quiet creatively towards the third act, but it’s hard not to agree that most of the movie’s strength come from the central concept rather than the story.
