Weird Horror

What makes weird so compelling and eye-catching is how different it is from our normal everyday lives. In films, weirdness can go from comedic, innocent to a more trickery of the mind. There's no killer or supernatural being declared, just something that can mess with our heads and affect our actions. 

An example from the movie we watched in class, Under the Skin, shows how a human can be very disconnected from humans and society, barely any emotions which can make the audience uncomfortable. The scene where the two men are under her reflection in her "home," one of them pop to what it seems like only their skin. It makes you think "what is causing them to disappear?", "what is her purpose?", "Does she do this to survive?". 

An example from Borne is how a lot of the weird elements are produced by us, humans. What we want to discover or create, no matter how weird, can cause some kind of consequence. After an apocalypse in the story, whether men caused that or not, more weird things begin to occur, like the creatures 'The Company' created that cause destruction on the city the main character lives in.
