Boo! They are just really good.

Horror films are rarely considered the main contenders for box office success, but sometimes it is films in this genre that unexpectedly become real hits and deliver excellent box office success. An example of this was the film ‘A Quiet Place’, which captivated viewers with its unconventional approach to the genre.

Such films go beyond the usual genre films and captivate viewers with a mix of not only horror, but also drama and sometimes even humor. In this collection we have collected ten horror films that suddenly captured the hearts (and wallets) of the general public.

“A Quiet Place” and 9 more horror films that unexpectedly blew up the box office

Nowadays, horror has many more fans among the general public than before: the hype and success of “Soul Collector” alone speaks volumes. And yet horror films still have a harder time attracting audiences than superhero blockbusters or romantic comedies: Still, not everyone is ready to jump in fear in a dark cinema.

Even the example of ‘The Sixth Sense’ is more of an exception to the rule, because this film by M. Night Shyamalan is more of a thriller than a full-fledged horror film.

It is especially unfortunate that M. Night Shyamalan was never able to repeat the success of “The Sixth Sense” – to date, this particular film with Bruce Willis is considered his best. But since then the director has made a whopping 17 films! His “Split” came as close as possible to the same success, grossing $278 million at the worldwide box office
