dark emotional funny mysterious tense

A buffet of horror, nightmare, and terror -- some of it pretty good. "Dark Cities" is a different take on the genre.

"The Dogs" -- A nightmare.
"We'll Always Have Paris" -- Not my favorite... but the twist!
"Dear Diary" -- A nightmare.
"Grit" -- 'Hood horror story.
"Dark Hill Run" -- Scary!
"Happy Forever" -- The twist!
"Matter of Life and Death" -- Entertaining.
"The Crack" -- A different kind of nightmare and great narrative voice.
