- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsJessica HarperStefania CasiniFlavio BucciAn American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.The athmosphere, the acting, the script, the colours, just EVERYTHING. When it ended I wanted to watch it again, because it was so beautiful and scary at the same time. (Side Note: Hollywood wants to make a remake and I already hate it.)
- DirectorWes CravenStarsNeve CampbellCourteney CoxDavid ArquetteA year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.Such a classic, I don't have to say anything. THE slasher movie. The sequals were nice to ok-ish material, but nothing can compare to the original.
- DirectorKaryn KusamaStarsMegan FoxAmanda SeyfriedAdam BrodyA newly-possessed high-school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?I don't know what it is about this movie, that makes me love it so much. Critics HATED it and it's so bad in some scenes, that you might wonder, why it is on this list. Again, there is SOMETHING that makes this one absolutely amazing.
- DirectorJames WhaleStarsBoris KarloffMelvyn DouglasCharles LaughtonSeeking shelter from a storm, five travelers are in for a bizarre and terrifying night when they stumble upon the Femm family estate.C-L-A-S-S-I-C!!!!!!!!!
- DirectorJames WanStarsRyan KwantenAmber VallettaDonnie WahlbergAfter his wife meets a grisly end, Jamie Ashen returns to his hometown of Ravens Fair to find answers. His investigation leads him to the ghost of a ventriloquist named Mary Shaw who seems to have ties to his entire family treeSuprisingly well made horror flick about creepy dolls and the ending was a bit unexpected.
- DirectorNeil MarshallStarsShauna MacdonaldNatalie MendozaAlex ReidA caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.Simple storyline, but I couldn't sleep properly for WEEKS!
- DirectorJames WatkinsStarsDaniel RadcliffeJanet McTeerCiarán HindsA young solicitor travels to a remote village where he discovers that the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman is terrorizing the locals.Really well made classic-ghost-story in a creepy mansion. Great movie!
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsJohn Gallagher Jr.Kate SiegelMichael TruccoA deaf and mute writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window.Amazing movie about a deaf woman in a horror-movie-esque situation. I was suprised by how much I loved it!
- DirectorMichael DoughertyStarsAnna PaquinBrian CoxDylan BakerFive interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: an everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.A Halloween CLASSIC! Gotta watch this one every year.
- DirectorDrew GoddardStarsKristen ConnollyChris HemsworthAnna HutchisonFive college friends head out to a remote cabin for a getaway, but things don't go as planned when they start getting killed. They soon discover that there is more to the cabin than it seems.An interesting ending, although it didn't fully work out for me (personally).
- DirectorJim GillespieStarsJennifer Love HewittSarah Michelle GellarAnne HecheFour young friends bound by a tragic accident are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town.Another one of those classic-slasher-movies.
- DirectorStewart HendlerStarsBriana EviganRumer WillisCarrie FisherA group of sorority sisters try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked by a serial killer.This movie is so clichee, I love it!
- 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.A must-see-movie. If you haven't seen this one, you don't know anything about movies.
- DirectorJen SoskaSylvia SoskaStarsGlenn JacobsDanielle HarrisKatharine IsabelleAn undertaker's birthday party is interrupted when Jacob Goodnight rises from the dead and proceeds to terrorize her and her friends.Better than the first one. Probably because Katharine Isabelle is in here.
- DirectorWilliam CastleStarsVincent PriceCarol OhmartRichard LongA millionaire offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with him and his wife.The scene with the old woman? Scared the sh*t out of me!
- DirectorNelson McCormickStarsBrittany SnowScott PorterJessica StroupDonna's senior prom is supposed to be the best night of her life, though a sadistic killer from her past has different plans for her and her friends.This movie is so BAD, that it's actually entertaining.
- DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsChad Michael MurrayParis HiltonElisha CuthbertA group of teens are unwittingly stranded near a strange wax museum and soon must fight to survive and keep from becoming the next exhibit.Paris Hilton is in this one, so what's not to like?
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppChristina RicciMiranda RichardsonIchabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.It's hard for me to consider Sleepy Hollow a horror movie, but other people do and it does have some creepy scenes. Because it is a Tim Burton movie it's not exactly what you would call HORROR though.
- DirectorColin MinihanStuart OrtizThe Vicious BrothersStarsBenjamin WilkinsonSean RogersonAshleigh GryzkoFor their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true.One of the best (if not THE best) found footage horror movies. It works with a lot of clichees, but it's still great.
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.Don't really have to say much. Although it's full with jumpscares, they are good and really creepy. A really, really, really well made horror movie.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNaomi WattsMartin HendersonBrian CoxA journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.People are going to hate me, but I really think that the remake is better than the original (which didn't scare me at all). This movie is great, from the acting to the scares (the one where we suddenly see the dead girl in the closet? still gives me goosebumps!).
- DirectorStephen NorringtonStarsWesley SnipesStephen DorffKris KristoffersonA half-vampire, half-mortal man becomes a protector of the mortal race, while slaying evil vampires.The first movie in a franchise is usually the best and Blade is no exception (although I like the second one, too, because Ron Perlman is in it). The opening scene alone tells you everything you need to know about this classic.
- DirectorAdam GreenStarsKane HodderJoel David MooreDeon RichmondWhen a group of tourists in a New Orleans haunted swamp tour find themselves stranded in the wilderness, their evening of fun and spooks turns into a horrific nightmare.A good-ol' Slasher movie. It was quite gruesome in some scenes, but sometimes that's all you want from a movie.
- DirectorF.W. MurnauStarsMax SchreckAlexander GranachGustav von WangenheimVampire Count Orlok expresses interest in a new residence and real estate agent Hutter's wife.Max Schreck was made for this role. Never again will vampires look that scary. Also, this is the only silent film on my list.
- DirectorClive BarkerStarsAndrew RobinsonClare HigginsAshley LaurenceA woman discovers the newly resurrected, partially formed, body of her brother-in-law and lover. She starts killing for him to revitalize his body and escape the demonic beings that are pursuing him after he escaped their underworld.The second movie was really good, too, but it's the first one, that made me fall in love with the franchise.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.Funny enough, this is the first horror movie I ever watched (and I was around 10 years old lol). Ripley was my first female heroine, who showed me how strong women can be. #girlpower
- DirectorKuan-Hui LinStarsTing-hu ZhangSing HomHe-Hsuan LinThree youngsters meet by accident at a mysterious hot springs hotel. There, they fall into an unforgettable adventure. It starts off scary but soon turns funny when they have to try and save a family.A horror-comedy.
- DirectorAndré ØvredalStarsBrian CoxEmile HirschOphelia LovibondA father and son, both coroners, are pulled into a complex mystery while attempting to identify the cause of death of a young woman who was apparently harboring dark secrets.I waited for a very long time to watch this, because I wanted to stream it, and it was worth the wait.
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsJeffrey CombsBruce AbbottBarbara CramptonAfter an odd new medical student arrives on campus, a dedicated local and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue.Quickly became one of my all time favorites.
- DirectorMikhail RedStarsBea AlonzoCharo Santos-ConcioJake CuencaWhen a student's suicide rattles an all-girls Catholic school, a clairvoyant guidance counselor leans on a ghost to uncover the convent's abusive past.I'm suprised the IMDb rating is so low!
- DirectorLewis AllenStarsRay MillandRuth HusseyDonald CrispA composer and his sister discover that the reason they are able to purchase a beautiful gothic seacoast mansion very cheaply is the house's unsavory past.
