Op here:
I enjoyed this movie a lot and I’m not a typical horror movie person. I don’t think it’s a slasher movie. (It’s a requirement of the assignment).

Ooh, would Us by Jordan Peele fit the requirements? Loved that movie, and also lots to analyze

I am not sure Us would qualify.

Definitely Psycho (the original). Hitchcock is textbook for film studies!

Candyman (original or remake) could also get the job done.

NP but all of the love for sleep away camp makes me so happy! If you haven’t watched the absolutely ridiculous sequels please go watch them. You are in for a treat! Pamela Springsteen as Angela is a national treasure! (Yes related to that Springsteen)

Cabin in the Woods is great! So unexpected and has a lot to unpack.
