Metaphysical horror

Metaphysical horror explores the unsettling questions about the nature of reality, existence, and the universe. It confronts themes like the insignificance of humanity, the unpredictability of the cosmos, and the limits of human understanding. This genre evokes fear not just from monsters or violence, but from the realization that the fundamental nature of reality may be unknowable, indifferent, or chaotic. It prompts deep philosophical reflection, making viewers or readers feel small or helpless in the face of cosmic forces beyond comprehension.
