Sci-fi horror/horror comedy/gothic horror/a secret fourth horror genre

I am someone who says they hate horror yet all my favourite films are horror films. This is because I have a very specific type of film I love. I don’t particularly like to be scared, I don’t like harrowing gloomy horror, I don’t like jump scares. i dont like extreme violence (when it’s realistic, I don’t mind silly gore). I have no interest in watching kids get their heads smashed in or whatever. I LOVE a good concept, I love highly stylish and stylised films, good set design and costumes. I love when things just feel a bit like…weird and off centre? With that in mind here are a few of my favourite films (they’re all horror but they’re also just the best films). I’ve also attached a link to my list on letterboxd, it’s not just horror but like all films that to me feel like high concept weirdness? It’s a vibe thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sci-fi horror: Annihilation Donnie Darko Under the Skin The Substance (i am partial to a silly body horror) A Cure for Wellness (this one also fits under Gothic Horror too) Get Out (also has moments of horror comedy) Horror comedy: Jennifer’s Body (probably my all time favourite film) what we do in the Shadows The Love Witch Cabin in the Woods Fresh Gothic Horror: Bones and All Byzantium Crimson Peak Only Lovers Left Alive (I would argue this isnt even a horror at all but its a vampire film so I guess it counts) Then these are a few others that still (to me) have the same vibe but I can’t categorise them as easily: Shirley (possibly gothic?) The green knight (isn’t quite a horror but has horror elements) Promising young Woman (has horror comedy elements but is also just far too painful to be a comedy) Nightmare Alley (also probably gothic?) Horse Girl (quite similar to Donnie Darko imo, but plays more on the insanity route to be called a sci-fi) Parasite (this is called a comedy but like…is it really?!) Saltburn (also kind of gothic kind of comedy) Two honorary mentions I will say that might deviate a little is It Follows (which does have some jump scares and is genuinely terrifying but is high concept and weird vibey enough for me to love it) and Midsommar (which has a lot more intense violence than I usually enjoy but is again great concept and isn’t dark and jumpy).

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

Rejecting the Commodification of the Self

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments. We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume. On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics. By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance. For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look. In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
