Answers

  1. B. The Mist – In Frank Darabont’s 2007 Stephen King adaptation, David mercy-kills his group believing no hope remains, seconds before rescue; others feature blindfolded survival or plant-based apocalypse without this tragic irony.
  2. B. Carrie – Brian De Palma’s 1976 adaptation ends with Sue Snell’s nightmare of Carrie’s vengeful hand from the grave; the others are unrelated telekinesis tales or sequels with different proms.
  3. C. Saw – James Wan’s 2004 debut reveals Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) alive after Adam and Lawrence’s ordeal; distractors involve traps but no bathroom corpse reveal.
  4. D. The Sixth Sense – M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 twist shows Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) dead from the start; others have ghosts but no therapist revelation.
  5. A. The Others – Alejandro Amenábar’s 2001 film flips the script with Nicole Kidman’s family as ghosts; the rest are haunted house stories without this inversion.
  6. D. Psycho – Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 classic closes with Anthony Perkins’ Norman embodying his mother via skull overlay; others feature different serial killers.
  7. D. The Exorcist – William Friedkin’s 1973 masterpiece ends with Father Karras’ sacrificial leap after Regan’s cure; prequels and imitators lack this exact heroism.
  8. D. The Fly – David Cronenberg’s 1986 remake culminates in Brundlefly’s mercy-kill fusion explosion; others are creature features without teleportation tragedy.
  9. D. The Ring – Gore Verbinski’s 2002 US remake has Rachel realise copying the tape propagates the curse, saving Aidan; Japanese original differs.

  11. C. Halloween – John Carpenter’s 1978 film has Michael Myers vanish after Laurie’s defence; sequels and slashers don’t match this first film’s ambiguity.
  12. D. Night of the Living Dead – George A. Romero’s 1968 zombie blueprint tragically shoots Ben at dawn; sequels have escapes, not mistaken identity.
  13. D. Dawn of the Dead – Romero’s 1978 mall siege ends with Peter and Francine’s fuel-short chopper flight; parodies lack zombies.
  14. D. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre – Tobe Hooper’s 1974 raw terror sees Sally escape as Leatherface dances; hillbilly horrors have chases but no truck joy.
  15. C. Evil Dead II – Sam Raimi’s 1987 horror-comedy portals Ash to Deadite medieval times with tiny clones; others connect differently.

  17. B. Hereditary – Ari Aster’s 2018 chiller crowns Paimon’s ritual with Annie’s clapping head; others are psychological without cult decapitation.
  18. D. Midsommar – Aster’s 2019 daylight horror has Dani crown Christian’s fiery end; folk horrors lack the breakup betrayal.
  19. D. Get Out – Jordan Peele’s 2017 satire ends with Rod’s fake-cop rescue post-trance break; spiritual horrors don’t match auction body-snatching.
  20. C. Drag Me to Hell – Sam Raimi’s 2009 curse fest drags Christine to hellish doom; exorcism films have survival or fakes.
