Hi there,

I hope my title as well as the examples shown in the picture get the idea across of what I'm looking for. Doesn't matter what the genre is, I am just looking for movies which are shot in this grim lighting.

Also, for fun, try and guess which movies the pictures come from.
Answer
Suspiria (2018)

Black Swan

The Road

I remember the movie as being practically traumatizing the first time I watched it and then I didn't watch it again for like two decades. I watched it again last year and was surprised that it's not nearly as bad as I remembered it being. I guess movies have shifted so much in the traumatizing direction that Requiem for a Dream has been outmatched.

Or maybe I just remembered it well enough that it didn't shock so much.
