Horror movies about expeditions and exploring supernatural spaces?
So Iβve started watching Channel Zeroβs No-End-House and Iβm in love. The first episode hooked me because it reminded me of The House of Leaves, with the group walking into the impossible house and exploring the different rooms.
I love expeditions into supernatural spaces - Iβm a big fan of SCP articles, like the one where they travel into the potato sack.
Are there any films like this?
Iβve already seen Stalker, Annihilation, The Terror - I know at least one of you is gonna recommend one of those lol.
