Answers

  1. C. Hereditary (2018) – Iconic Graham family dinner with Peter’s prayer and Annie’s glare. Others feature family meals but lack this exact tension and prayer dynamic.
  2. B. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) – The Sawyer clan’s infamous cannibal feast with Leatherface. Wrongs are cannibal horrors but without the specific mask and table setup.
  3. B. Get Out (2017) – Chris at the Armitage dinner under hypnosis trigger. Others have awkward gatherings but not this racial interrogation focus.
  4. C. Poltergeist (1982) – Freelings hypnotised by TV static. Similar hauntings in others, but this frame defines suburban supernatural.
  5. C. The Exorcist (1973) – Chris holds levitating Regan. Possession films abound, but this bedroom levitation is legendary.
  6. C. The Conjuring (2013) – Perrons arrive at Arnold Estate. Matches the real five-daughter family; others have different house arrivals.
  7. A. Sinister (2012) – Oswalts at breakfast with Super 8 reels. True-crime family vibes unique here.
  8. A. The Babadook (2014) – Amelia and Samuel with MR. BABADOOK book. Grief-stricken reading distinguishes it.
  9. C. The Witch (2015) – Black Phillip-era family scripture reading. Period Puritanism sets it apart.
  10. D. The Visit (2015) – Becca and Tyler hug Nana. Found-footage grandparent creepiness is signature.
  11. C. Orphan (2009) – Colemans with Esther. Evil child adoption plot matches perfectly.
  12. B. The Amityville Horror (2005) – Lutzes see eyes in fridge. Iconic haunting detail absent elsewhere.
  13. A. The Others (2001) – Grace arms kids against ‘intruders’. Twist-laden isolation unique.
  14. B. Signs (2002) – Hess family alien talk. Faith vs. invasion at table is key.
  15. C. The Ring (2002) – Rachel and Aidan view tape. Seven-day curse frames it.
  16. B. Frailty (2001) – Meiks axe revelation. Religious fanaticism defines it.
  17. B. Pet Sematary (1989) – Ellie with revived Church. Burial ground pet return is core.
  18. B. The Omen (1976) – Thorns name Damien. Antichrist baptism seals it.
  19. B. Psycho (1960) – Norman and Mother silhouette. Taxidermy parlour is unmistakable.
  20. A. The Shining (1980) – Torrances in lobby photo. Overlook isolation begins here.
