Answers

  1. D. Saw – In Saw (2004), Jigsaw (John Kramer) abducts sinners and subjects them to moral tests via fatal traps to value life. The others involve traps or torture without this redemption philosophy.

  3. B. Hostel – Hostel (2005) introduces the Elite Hunting Club auctioning tourists. The rest have tourist killings but lack the pay-to-play organisation.
  4. B. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre – The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) depicts the Sawyer family’s abattoir-style cannibalism. Others involve cannibals but not this chainsaw-wielding Texas clan.
  5. A. The Silence of the Lambs – Buffalo Bill (Jame Gumb) in The Silence of the Lambs (1991) skins women for his suit amid gender crisis. Others feature killers with different methods.
  6. C. Se7en – Se7en (1995) has John Doe’s sin-themed tableau murders. The others are detective stories without deadly sins motif.

  8. A. The Omen – The Omen (1976) shows Damien Thorn’s jackal-birth and protectors like Mrs Baylock eliminating threats. Sequels expand but this is the origin.

  15. B. Get Out – Get Out (2017) exposes the Armitage family’s coagula brain-swap via ‘sunken place’ hypnosis. Satire on racism, unlike body-snatcher parallels.
  16. C. Us – Us (2019) depicts Adelaide/Red’s Tethered revolt for equality via Hands Across America mimicry. Others are home invasions without clones.
  17. A. Orphan – Orphan (2009) unmasks Esther as 33-year-old Leena with hypopituitarism seducing husbands. Others feature evil kids but not adult imposters.
