The Butterfly Murders (1979)
I've written before about the collision of horror and science fiction, like in The Puppet Masters by Robert A. Heinlein and Son of Frankenstein (1930). But science fiction isn't the only place you can find horror elements. Sometimes, they can be found in unexpected places, like martial arts films and butterflies.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Hollow Man' (2000)
OH MY GOD, THIS MOVIE WAS SO FUCKING BORING!!! I sware to god it should have failed my 30-minute rule, but technically something was always happening in the first 30 minutes. But fuck technical, the goddamn plot doesn't kick off till about the halfway mark. I mean, this movie is basically just a remake of The Invisible Man (1933). That movie gets rolling right from the punch. Mad scientist turns himself invisible and basically lets the power go to his head. That whole setup takes, what... 10 minutes? Not even? In this movie, over thirty fucking minutes are devoted to exposition before Kevin Bacon starts the rape and murder. Speed it the fuck up! Superpowers went to his megalomaniacal brain, the chemicals caused him to lose his mind, maybe a little from column A and column B, WHATEVER, just fucking get there!

It's based on the novel of the same name by renowned author Stephen King, although it's important to note that Kubrick's adaptation takes some creative liberties with the source material.

The Eerie of blackwood House
The Eerie of Blackwood House The Secretive Greeting The downpour poured perseveringly as Sarah Blackwood sat by the snapping chimney, immersed in a book. The breeze yelled outside, shaking the old windows of Blackwood House. Unexpectedly, a whirlwind moved throughout the room, smothering the candles and diving the estate into murkiness. Before Sarah could respond, a worn out letter fallen through the mail space, arriving at her feet.
