- DirectorDon CoscarelliStarsA. Michael BaldwinBill ThornburyReggie BannisterA teenage boy and his friends face off against a mysterious grave robber, known only as the Tall Man, who employs a lethal arsenal of unearthly weapons.This is a classic and those little jawa looking people popping out...made me scream!! Tall man is Creepy!!
- DirectorOren PeliStarsKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsAfter moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.I would not have stayed in that house playing with the ghost!! Everything in this movie scared me.
- DirectorStuart RosenbergStarsJames BrolinMargot KidderRod SteigerNewlyweds and their three children move into a large house where a mass murder was committed. They start to experience strange, inexplicable manifestations which have strong effects on everyone living in or visiting the house.I have watched this movie so many times and there are still scenes I cringe at! The original is the only one worth watching.
- DirectorSidney J. FurieStarsBarbara HersheyRon SilverDavid LabiosaA woman is tormented by an invisible being.I will never watch this alone again..first time I saw it I was probably 12 or so staying up late and regretted it! This movie still terrorizes me! Look up the real story!
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonRose ByrneTy SimpkinsA family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.I did not think this would be so good based on its rating but I made me jump and scream a little..very like older classic horror that relies more on ambience and tone instead of intestines.
- DirectorTom SaviniStarsTony ToddPatricia TallmanTom TowlesWhen the unburied dead return to life and seek human victims, seven refugees shelter in a house in the Pennsylvanian countryside.Yes I chose a remake but this is the first one I saw. Went with a bff and the little girl zombie traumatized us. It was the last show that night and the parking lot was next to a cemetery... Scary! Led to a discussion of if we could kill a zombie child we knew or would instead be eaten.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsSissy SpacekPiper LaurieAmy IrvingCarrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.Another movie that I think the original is the best version. It also has several scenes that no matter how many times I watch it it will still make me jump.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.Aww..this movie..I know grown men who are terrified of the chick in the nightgown who giggles. The special effects and make up may not compare to other horror movies but it doesn't stop it from being creepier than heck. When will people stop reading from the book of the dead?!?
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsJoBeth WilliamsHeather O'RourkeCraig T. NelsonA family's home is haunted by a host of demonic ghosts.Was 11 when I saw this and I was terrified. Having a big old tree outside my bedroom window with a streetlight behind it casting shadows in my room didn't help. Nor did the clown puppet..why did I watch this at 11 years old?
- DirectorDaniel MyrickEduardo SánchezStarsHeather DonahueMichael C. WilliamsJoshua LeonardThree film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.All those behind the scenes documentaries MTV was showing sucked me in and made believe this was real. Then a former friend saw it and told me the big twist before I saw it. Yeah. Thanks. Ended up not seeing it until several years later when me and my bf started dating. Holy Cow! You walk into a basement and see someone standing in the corner just like the story said...get the h out of there! Big warning sign..little kid bloody handprints everywhere!
- DirectorGregory JacobsStarsEmily BluntAshton HolmesMartin DonovanTwo college students share a ride home for the holidays, but when they break down on a deserted stretch of road, they are preyed upon by the ghosts of people who have died there.There is one very interesting fact about this movie which I do not want to reveal. You will either notice or won't. If you watch the credits you will get it. Not a big cast or alot by way of the sets but it's good. Two college students are trapped in the car in the snow and freezing temperatures. And the road they are on is haunted.
- DirectorAdam GreenStarsShawn AshmoreEmma BellKevin ZegersThree skiers stranded on a chairlift are forced to make life-or-death choices, which prove more perilous than staying put and freezing to death.This isn't a supernatural horror movie it's more a this could really happen. What do You do when you are trapped on a ski lift at a resort that is now closed?
- DirectorChristopher SmithStarsMelissa GeorgeJoshua McIvorJack TaylorFive friends set sail and their yacht is overturned by a strange and sudden storm. A mysterious ship arrives to rescue them, and what happens next cannot be explained.This movie will mess with your mind . A group of people end up on an abandoned cruise ship. That's all I should say. If anything more is said it will give it away. think extreme deja Vu
- DirectorAndrzej SekulaStarsKari MatchettGeraint Wyn DaviesGrace Lynn KungEight strangers awaken with no memory, in a puzzling cube-shaped room where the laws of physics do not always apply.We have seen all the cube movies and I have to say this one is my favorite. It's an experiment in warping time and space and its a giant cube with little cube rooms that keep shifting and the ways they came up with killing people...poor Jerry!!
- DirectorJohn GulagerStarsNavi RawatKrista AllenBalthazar GettyPatrons locked inside a bar are forced to fight monsters.I really liked this one. The many sequels not so much but the first one is good. What made the movie entertaining for me was the pop up messages.
- DirectorNeil MarshallStarsShauna MacdonaldNatalie MendozaAlex ReidA caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.Wow. This movie is so good! Sure let's go spelunking and our dumb leader didn't bring the map and no one knows where we are... who was that? Did I just see....nah. What the heck is that?? The way the ooga boogas were popping out..scared me every time.
- DirectorJoe LynchStarsErica LeerhsenHenry RollinsTexas BattleA group of reality show contestants find themselves fighting for their survival against a family of hideously deformed inbred cannibals who plan to ruthlessly butcher them all.another movie where we have seen the entire franchise. We think this is the best one. The killing starts almost immediately and wow!
- DirectorMary LambertStarsDale MidkiffDenise CrosbyFred GwynneAfter tragedy strikes, a grieving father discovers an ancient burial ground behind his home with the power to raise the dead.I saw this when it was first released in a packed theater. Great way to see a scary movie because the audience reaction just makes it that much better. Great movie to watch over 20 years later, in the dark, with the lights off...Gage wants to play with all of us.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJennifer O'NeillStephen LackPatrick McGoohanA scientist trains a man with an advanced telepathic ability called "scanning" to stop a dangerous Scanner with extraordinary psychic powers from waging war against non scanners.Exploding heads!
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.Ewwww!!! The creature is soo gross and freaky!
- DirectorPhilip KaufmanStarsDonald SutherlandBrooke AdamsJeff GoldblumWhen strange seeds drift to earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade San Francisco, replicating the city's residents one body at a time.This is our favorite version of this classic story. Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Leanard Nimoy...It's a great cast. The effects are creepy and the fast rate of the invasion is frighteneing.
- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsCillian MurphyNaomie HarrisChristopher EcclestonFour weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.Definitely a fantastic "Infection" movie. Or post- apocalyptic. The use of the soundtrack in key scenes is brilliant and really adds to the emotion of the actors. One of those virus movies that when it starts to spread...you don't have a chance!
- DirectorMichael G. BartlettKevin GatesStarsScott AinslieToby BowmanVictoria SummerAn unknown virus begins spreading and within weeks it engulfs the entire planet. Upon the death of its host, the virus would reanimate the corpse until it was no longer able to support itself. Soon, the planet was infested with the undead.We are big fans of the "found footage" movies and this one was surprisingly good. Not a huge budget like Resident evil or Romero's works but they pulled it off. I enjoy zombie movies with more realism..everyone dies there is no miracle cure just as the gate collapses and the military makes it all better..nope. The you know what would hit the fan and it would be a tie as to who the true monsters were, the zombies or the humans willing to do Anything to live.
- DirectorEduardo SánchezStarsGretchen LodgeJohnny LewisAlexandra HoldenNewlywed Molly moves into her deceased father's house in the countryside, where painful memories soon begin to haunt her.Unbelievably good. i didn't have high hopes for this pick from my bf but was immediately pulled in. There isn't alot to say without giving it away except it's a little head trippy. What you think is going on isn't. Then it is.
- DirectorJim SonzeroStarsKristen BellRick GonzalezChristina MilianWhen their computer hacker friend accidentally channels a mysterious wireless signal, a group of co-eds rally to stop a terrifying evil from taking over the world.Another great Infection / post-apocalyptic movie. We have seen both the Asian and U.S versions and the Asian movie wins hands down.
- 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.Omg..the scene with the body bag in the school hallways...Nancyyy..nancyyy...
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigSheri Moon ZombieBill MoseleyThe murderous, backwoods Firefly family take to the road to escape the vengeful Sheriff Wydell, who is not afraid of being as ruthless as his target.Rob Zombie is brilliant. Loved his music then saw this. Now, I wasn't overly impressed with House of a Thousand Corpses but this sequel was incredible. He brought back the best characters from the first movie and just steamrolled over everything! At some point, and we still marvel over it, Zombie had us sympathizing and rooting for the killers!
- DirectorJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaStarsManuela VelascoFerran TerrazaJorge-Yamam SerranoA television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.Another movie where the original version is so much better than the U.S version. sadly, can't say that for parts 2 and 3. Just watch one and stop there. Reason for everything starts getting weird in later movies.
- DirectorDennis IliadisStarsGarret DillahuntMonica PotterTony GoldwynAfter kidnapping and brutally assaulting two young women, a gang unknowingly finds refuge at a vacation home belonging to the parents of one of the victims: a mother and father who devise an increasingly gruesome series of revenge tactics.Do not watch this if you or someone you care for has ever been a victim of sexual assault. That is the one drawback of this movie. The rape is long and excessive. The revenge the family acts out is just and they deserved it.
- DirectorJohn PoliquinStarsRichard HarmonShawn C. PhillipsJennica FultonA film student who is obsessed with the movie Grave Encounters sets out with his friends to visit the psychiatric hospital depicted in the original film.This is worth watching just for the laughs. It's not scary but it is funny!
- DirectorLouis MorneauStarsNicki AycoxNick ZanoLaura JordanAfter their car breaks down in the desert, four friends try to find their way back to civilization while trying to escape Rusty Nail's bloody wrath.Lesson learned= Do Not Mess with Truckers. Ever. Ever.
- DirectorErnest R. DickersonStarsBilly ZaneWilliam SadlerJada Pinkett SmithHigh-level demons collect low-level demons as warriors in attempt to obtain a key containing the blood of Christ. The key is guarded by immortal warriors called Demon Knights.Ok, again not really scary and parts are really funny but it really is a decent movie.Billy Zane is great in it.
