- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonRose ByrneTy SimpkinsA family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.This movie is not good, not by any stretch of the imagination and while it is cheesy as hell as well it also has what I consider to be the best times jump scare even if ruined by the trailer ever. The film has very creepy elements consisting of a smiling dead family, a darth maul demon, a creepy lady with a candle and Tiny Tim's Tiptoe through the toolips
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.Holy sweet mother of god Jack Nicholson gives the one of the greatest and definitly the most intense performance by a lead in a movie about isolation, madness, ghosts and evil entitiies ever. It also helps that Kubrick knows what he's doing
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.Ridley Scott comes up with the most intelligent and well done way to scare an audience ever- Don't show them excactly what they're supposed to be scared of looks like until the right moment
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsEthan HawkeJuliet RylanceJames RansoneA controversial true-crime writer finds a box of Super 8 home movies in his new home, revealing that the murder case he is currently researching could be the work of an unknown serial killer whose legacy dates back to the 1960s.Disturbing beyond belief. Holy *beep*
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRoy ScheiderRobert ShawRichard DreyfussWhen a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.I actually hate this movie because it caused people to go out of their way and kill sharks. It did keep me off the beach for a long time though but it is actually a huge reason for the current diminishing shark population.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.Exploiting something we all have to do- sleep.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.The first movie to really do the group of teenagers getting massacared and the only movie to do it expertly and while it is a gore bath it is also scary as ever.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.Building on the excellent original movie but changing the style from an unseen monster to a hoard of them was an excellent and intense decision.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA Phoenix secretary embezzles $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother."They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly."
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsIvana BaqueroAriadna GilSergi LópezIn the Falangist Spain of 1944, the bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.Creepy and shocking what else do you need from Torro?
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.The original excorcism film and also a brilliant masterpiece
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.Taking other movies ideas and referencing the classics keeps this not an original but a stylistic and creepy new addition to the best horror movies.
