You can use this guide to find dark fantasy films to watch today, or you can use it for inspiration in your writing, whether you're a screenwriter, a novelist, or any kind of fiction writer. Simpler movies rank first based on the number of subgenres, genres, moods, and antagonist types. Some spreads list up to 20 ranked movie suggestions but pay attention to the rare or unique combinations listing none if you're looking for unusual story ideas.
