Top 13 Horror Movies Everyone Should See

Horror is a genre which intensifies your fear within. That’s not the only fact we consider while making the list of top 10 horror movies but it is the foremost reason. Other factors are screenplay, suspense, sound effects and screams. These are the movies which are timeless classic. So here is our take on scary movies.

13. Se7en(1995)

It’s a different kind of horror movie.Rain and darkness were two most important factors used to create the horror around murder scene.A serial killer was trying to preach about the impurity in the world,he was inspired by “The Divine Comedy”.The death body of fat-boy still fresh in my mind,that’s the effect of that horror scene,It can be easily described as one of the greatest thriller but horror part is also worth praising.

12.Irreversible(2002)

It’s not a horror movie but it has two most horrifying scenes in movies of last decade.The rape scene of Monica Balluchi and sladgehammer scene made this movie to this horror list.The violence is more than anything you ever think of in a movie.It’s a bleak and disturbing movie,so if you think violence is not what you like than please don’t go for it.

11. Audition(1999)

It can be your chance to feel the horror directly from Japanese film circuit.A widower faked a movie audition in search of lady-love.Asami was the chosen girl after audition but there was something wrong with Asami.

Asami just sits around in her room waiting for the phone to ring with a duffel bag with dubious contents sitting nearby.A wild,dark and sometime very disturbing.

10. Saw Series(2004-2010)

Saw series is a masterpiece of violence horror.A clever horror series which sometime drag you to the passion of killing.It can easily beat any other horror movie in terms of twist scenes.The shock value in first part is most impressive than any other movie of recent time.

9.The Descent(2005)

A group of women trapped in a cave and attacked by some humanoid creatures.From the starting scene onwards movie set the pace of horror which will be produced by this amazing horror movie.The movie build the tension slowly with darkness,drowning, claustrophobia and when worse things start happening,it seems there will be no end to this.A real,dark and slow tension building is the USP of the movie.

8.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974)

Hunger is our most probable urge as human beings, and a family takes this idea to the extreme.

The family of cannibals who hunt their victims using any means necessary for survival and a young group of teenagers was become the prey of their hunger.Leatherface-the killer who was not doing it for fun but for the hunger,that how main character was portrayed.The sound of chainsaw becomes the regular tone in nightmares of many viewers.

7.The Thing(1982)

12 men isolated in Antarctica and attacked by a outer space creature which can turn into anything whatever it want.So ‘the thing’ started with a dog and sub-sequential became a man,so now nobody trust anyone because anyone can be ‘the thing’.Ennio Morricone’s score and John Carpenter’s direction created the suspenseful scenario around the violence,that’s how it became a classic horror.

6.Wolf Creek(2005)

It’s a independent film and it’s plot is based on South Australia.The cinematography makes this movie a real haunted one.It shows the vastness and loneliness of three travelers in Wolf Creek carter.

Their car was broken and they had to take the help of a Australian veteran that how killing spree begin.It is also a example of tension building horror-movies but the rawness of the movie is more effective than “The Texas Chainshaw Massacre”.

5. The Ring(2002)

This one is a remake of 1998 Japanese film Ringu.I have a real respect for Japanese horror genre but in my view ‘The Ring’ outshine Ringu.

The plot is based on a videotape,if you watched that videotape than you will be a dead man/woman within a week. Videotape plot is supported by some great sub-plotting and superb performance by Nomai Watts.The Videotape is very haunting and images in it will disturb you for at least one night.

4. The Exorcist(1973)

People always quote that it is the scariest movie ever made.But for many of us it’s the starting of horror genre.A tight script and a great performance made this movie a classic symbol in horror genre.Special effects, in contrast to today’s make-up advancements in the film industry, are still able to stand the test of time.

3. Psycho(1960)

Alfred crafted Norman Bates as a normal,cool, unsettling guy rather than a murder-happy psycho.Psycho is a another tension building horror.Norman Bates’ extremely freaky look when you see him watching the inspector’s car sinking into the swamp sends chills down anyone spine.You must have heard about this movie but when you will see this movie than only you can feel the real sense of horror in it.I really envy those people who had seen this movie in theater because it is a life time experience.

2. Eraserhead(1976)

Caution before the movie:It’s a piece of art and it can’t be summarized.if you love this movie, psychiatrists can claim that you’re completely nuts .Pregnant women and young couples in love should beware as well.

The horrible noises, the colorless and tasteless locations and the insensible characters,that’s the horror of this art piece.You feel uneasy while watching this dream world of David Lynch.It’s a nightmare and only some people can survive it.

1.The Shining(1980)

The long aerial shot of the only moving car on highway rang the bell about the coming horror.The movie is a masterpiece in terms of sound score and camera movement in horror movies.The long scenes,the tension building sound with a brilliant screenplay gave the perfect platform to scare us.

A writer(Jack Nicholson) along with his family becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel.Writer’s son Danny sees gruesome images powered by a force called ‘the shining’ and Jack is heavily affected by this. Along with writer’s block and the demons of the hotel haunting him, Jack has a complete mental breakdown and the situation takes a sinister turn for the worse.

Director : Stanley Kubrick(Movies)

Choose any critic and give him any three movies of Stanley Kubrick after The Killing(1956),I am sure no movie critic can give less than 8 out of 10 to any of his movies and for fans his movies are like bamboo jungles,if even one tree catch fire,the whole jungle will be burned within hours,that’s the effect of his movie.

So I chose three of his movies:2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining.

How can a man create a Science fiction like 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968),and turn himslef into a genre in which portrayal of sex and violence is still best in art of cinema A Clockwork Orange(1973).Having turned down directing a sequel to The Exorcist (1973), Kubrick made his own horror film: The Shining (1980).So his talent didn’t care about the genre at all and he produced these classicals.

2001: A Space Odyssey:He made this science fiction before man captured the Moon(in 1969).His imagination as a director was so big and realistic but he was so ahead of his time nobody ever thought of space station and all the technologies he had shown in that movie.Even the super computer thing come from this movie only.Man vs Computer conflict is also first used in wide way in this movie.The film has a memorable soundtrack.

Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times opined that it was “The picture that science fiction fans of every age and in every corner of the world have prayed (sometimes forlornly) that the industry might some day give them. It is an ultimate statement of the science fiction film, an awesome realization of the spatial future…it is a milestone, a landmark for a spacemark, in the art of film.”

Kubrick won his only Oscar for visual effect for this movie .

There is no dialogue at all for the entirety of both the first and last 20 minutes or so of the film; the total narrative of these sections is carried entirely by images, actions, sound effects, a great deal of music and two title cards.

It’s not a movie but a life time experience for me.

A Clockwork Orange :In Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge is jailed and later volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society’s crime problem… but not all goes to plan.Looks like a simple plot but remember again it’s Kubrick once again.He turn this Alex a ultra violent ans sensual young man whom you will not forget whole of your life.The film tells the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via a controversial psychological conditioning technique.

The film also holds the record in the Guinness World Records for being the first movie in media history using the Dolby Sound system.

The film’s central moral question , is the definition of “Goodness”.Actor Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker in the Batman film The Dark Knight was in its initial formative stages influenced by the character of Alex DeLarge.

Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.

The Shinning: This film tells the story of a writer, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), who accepts the job of the winter caretaker at a hotel that always gets snowed in during the winter. Jack’s son shares psychic abilities with the hotel’s chef who calls it “shining”. They can see things in the future or past, such as the ghosts of murdered people in the hotel. As the hotel becomes snowbound, Jack Torrance becomes influenced by the ghosts in the haunted hotel, descending into madness and trying to murder his wife and son.

Many have speculated on whether there really were ghosts in the film and Kubrick’s smart use of mirrors. It has been noted that every time Jack sees a ghost there is a mirror present.

The Shining gave rise to the legend of Kubrick as a megalomanic perfectionist. Reportedly, he demanded hundreds of takes of certain scenes (approximately 1.3 million feet of film was shot).

Warner Brothers has developed a whole site dedicated on Kubrick http://kubrickfilms.warnerbros.com/ .

Some interesting things about Kubrick:-

-Kubrick kept the original negatives for 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) in his garage, and prior to his death, made his own final 70mm cut of the film, which was released on Warner Bros. DVD, after which he burned the negatives.

-Stanley resigned from directing One Eyed Jacks (1961) early in the production phase, due to his clashes with Marlon Brando, who argued constantly with Stanley about the direction of both himself and the film.

-Stanley shot 1.3 million feet of film while making The Shining (1980), and used less than 1% of it for the final 142 minute print.

-Stanley was hired by Look Magazine when he was 16 years old, after submitting a photograph of a news vendor the day after President Franklin D. Roosevelt died.

-Stanley’s favorite film was The Godfather (1972), and he told his close friend Michael Herr it was “the greatest film ever made.”

-Stanley was an avid chess player and would often play against actors working on his films.

-Stanley was interested in jazz, and had a brief career as a drummer in his 20s.

-Stanley angered Jack Nicholson so much with his repeated takes during The Shining (1980) that Nicholson refused to ever work with him again.During the filming, at one point, Crothers broke down crying, asking “What do you want, Mr. Kubrick?”

-Bathroom (all of his films feature a scene that takes place in a bathroom)

Kubrick’s dislike of his early film Fear and Desire (1953) is well known. He went out of his way to buy all the prints of it so no one else could see it.

And the last fact about him

-Stanley died 666 days before 2001.(666 is devil sign in Omen)
