Hereditary currently beats Nosferatu 63–38
Domestic horror edges gothic atmosphere — Aster's house outweighs Eggers' castle.
The Verdict
The Graham family's miniatures are the formal key. Annie builds tiny replicas of her own house, her own grief, her own family — she's already trapped inside a scale model of her life before any supernatural force arrives. That self-containment is more disturbing than anything Nosferatu's gothic interiors produce, because it's recognisable. Eggers' candlelit Wisborg is beautiful and dreadful, and it operates at a historical distance that insulates the viewer. You admire the shadow work. You recognise the dollhouse. When the domestic film leads, it's because recognition is a more personal form of dread than admiration. The house you might live in is scarier than the castle you'll never visit.
