Scared Smart: The 13 Best Elevated Horror Films

Image
It is unfair to say that Elevated Horror  is a new term, or even a new idea, because elevated horror films have been around for well over 50 years now. I would rather call it more of a trending term in the horror movie zeitgeist. At least for me, I wasn't aware of the term until this past year. However, it perfectly describes the trend that is happening in the horror movie genre today. For those that are unfamiliar with the term, "elevated horror" is a horror movie subgenre that is categorized by the use of complex themes, artistic style, emotional depth, and a heavier focus on the craftsmanship of making the film instead of relying on graphic content: blood, gore, sex, etc.  Now, most horror movie fans would say that any good horror movie that's worth its weight in blood already does that.

Indy, the star of GOOD BOY, receiving their Astra Award from home with owner  Ben Leonberg Indy starred in the film Good Boy , a 2025 elevated horror thriller told entirely from the dog's perspective. The performance was noted for not needing to use any CGI or AI assisted software for the dog. The dog's owners, Ben Leonberg and Kari Fischer who also made the film, trained the dog themselves, using a series of dog treats and tricks to get the dog to perform on cue. As adorable and uplifting as this story is (who doesn't love that face?), it has not come without a little controversy. Many hollywood insiders and film industry people have come out against the decision to award the dog, saying that it is disrespectful and degrading to all...
