A good horror movie will keep us hooked till the end. A user asked the forum, “What horror movie is a 10/10?” Here are the top responses.
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
“Silence of the Lambs is an incredible film that holds up after numerous viewings and won Best Picture, so this would be my choice.”
THE DESCENT
“The descent. It does a great job building a sense of suspense and hopelessness.”
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
“The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The background of the movie’s making is also crazy.”
THE THING, HEREDITARY
“John Carpenter’s The Thing will always be my first. But it doesn’t scare me the most. That title goes to Hereditary.”
THE THING, ALIEN
“The Thing and Alien. There are no other correct answers (prove me wrong! It would just give me more great movies to watch!).”
POLTERGEIST
“Poltergeist was way ahead of its time. Story, acting, effects, pacing, creepy and deep. Also, it had a proper climax. Just the scene where the boy is counting the time between the lightning and the thunder. Just awesome all around.”
EVENT HORIZON
“Event Horizon. It’s a science fiction version of a haunted house movie. It works better than the traditional haunted house movies because of the science fiction space element. They literally cannot just leave.
The acting is top-notch, the effects are amazing, and the multiple storylines are fantastic.”
SINISTER
“Sinister. Powerful sense of unease and dread throughout the entire movie.”
ANNIHILATION
“Annihilation. Even after reading the book, I was unprepared for how amazing and terrifying it would be.”
EVIL DEAD
“Evil Dead because I grew up with that due to my dad, and it’ll always have a special place in my twisted little heart.”
COME AND SEE
“Come and see (1985). It is a disturbing and the scariest film I have ever seen because of how grounded it is. It shows the psychological and emotional cost of war.
The acting was terrific, and the cinematography was ahead of its time. I don’t want to watch it again to avoid nightmares.”
HIGH TENSION
“High Tension. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. A masterpiece.”
TALK TO ME
“Talk to me. It’s one of the best modern horror movies I’ve seen and an instant classic.”
SMILE
“Smile. Movies never scare me. But that first scene sent chills down my spine.”
KAIRO 2001
“Kairo 2001 (‘Pulse’ in English). It exhibits the most disturbing and unsettling uncanny valley vibe I’ve ever experienced. Truly a cinematic masterpiece in terms of building tension and genuine fear without using cheap jumpscares or scary monsters/gore.”
THE INSIDIOUS
“Plot & scary level-wise, I’m giving my vote to The Insidious. Massive fan of that movie. I watched the whole sequence multiple times.”
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
“Brokeback Mountain, and no, not because they are gay, because cowboys scare me.”
