5. A Nightmare on Elm Street

one of my favourites, is Cube. its a trilogy, cube, hypercube, and cube zero, however the first one, cube, is the best. the movie event horizon creeped me out as a kid. martyrs is incredibly disturbing. i always did like the final destination movies. it really depends on what you are in the mood for. some are more graphic, some are more suspensful, some are very abstract and weird. some are occult or have religious themes. rosemary's baby is another classic that was a bit different. if you feel like something totally bizarre, try erasurehead.

Dario Argento’s INFERNO. 1980

Grand set-pieces – check! Bombastic prog rock – check. Beautiful women in danger – check! This must be Argento. A beautiful film to look at and one that is filled with mystery, darkness and a sense of utter dread and ultimate doom. The harder our protagonist looks for clues the closer to death he comes himself, literally. This is a handsome looking film and one virtually ignored by the studio that funded it. Okay – so everyone loves Suspira, it’s prequel, but this film feels like it’s Argento at a real cross-roads, scaring us, filling every frame with beauty but also commenting on the horror genre itself.

James Whale’s THE OLD DARK HOUSE. 1932.

Whale’s two Frankenstein films are masterpieces of the horror genre, but this creepy, atmospheric and genuinely disturbing film shouldn’t ever be overlooked – it’s the film that sets the standard for all creaky, crumbling, sinister buildings that people take shelter from a storm in films to come. Plus it has Karloff in a genuinely unsettling role as mute, dangerous servant Morgan.

Talking of creepy old houses and demented families – they don’t come more demented than this little family…

Jack Hill’s SPIDER BABY (or THE MADDEST STORY EVER TOLD). 1968.

This is the weirdest fun you’ll ever have being scared. From the opening credit song, sung beautifully by the great Lon Chaney Jr (The Wolfman himself!) to the utterly bonkers, deadly game of Spider Baby played by one half of the maddest sisters on screen this is like The Addams Family if David Lynch had created it. AND MUST BE SEEN BY EVERYONE!

At two:

Robert Wise’s THE HAUNTING. 1963.

A lot of the films I have chosen seem to be about evily eccentric families and their horrible homes and this version of The Haunting (please erase all memory of the remake from your mind with mind-napalm) is a classic tale where the building itself seems alive, menacing, malevolent – as well as a clever metaphor for the insane human mind itself. Brilliantly acted by Julie Harris and Claire Bloom this is also the best, most frightening and effective ghost story EVER filmed.

And in at number ONE:

Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. 1974.

This is it – terror, claustrophobia, mania. A demented family feeding off passers-by, but a close knit and loyal family never-the-less. This is probably the most influential horror film ever made and many of the filmmakers working today must surely acknowledge it’s power, artistry and effectiveness. Brilliantly made, kinetic and violent it’s an assault on the senses as well as on the flesh of the victims trapped and killed. Who will survive and what will be left of them? The question applies to the traumatised audience as well.

The Deer Hunter~ i grew to become into depressed for 3 days after seeing this one. It fairly made a brilliant impression on me, somebody who's *merely* ~ like a 365 days or 2 ~ youthful than the final of the 18 365 days-olds who have been drafted to bypass combat in Vietnam. Christopher Walken grew to become into SO severe, together with his portrayal of a youthful guy whose existence has become meaningless. merely broke my coronary heart. The Lord of the earrings~ the form of fantastically advised tale the place delusion meets the ideal morality tale. this would be prompted by ways plenty i like the e book(s), yet Peter Jackson's movies have been spot-on. I very own the two the theatrical and the prolonged variations of the flicks, and characteristic watched *each minute* of the "making of" components. merely stupendous action picture making, from the costumes and the instruments to the casting and the CGI to the script and the song. the vast relax~ For this one, it is all approximately "tone". I savor movies with constrained casts, the place you get to correctly known each guy or woman in my view. the character progression, their "history" and affection for the different merely shine by in this action picture. And the "relax" is that the form of stressful theory to objective to nail down and outline, yet in a roundabout way they accomplish it. The song, it fairly is a brilliant component to this action picture, is suitable. it is the song of my early existence and teen years, and at the same time as i could be youthful than the characters, i found i could relate with their foibles and pathos. enjoying the Stones' "you won't be in a position to continually get what you go with" at a funeral... a stroke of genius. Runner up: the marriage Singer. for plenty the comparable motives because of the fact the vast relax, this quirky little love tale, set in 1985, have been given *each thing* desirable. it is Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler's first action picture mutually, and their on-reveal chemistry is suitable. The song, likewise, is suitable. It *nails* the era, as does each thing from the vehicles they force to the places they bypass to the attitudes of that element. The "terrific buddy" exhibiting as much as a social gathering in a Michael Jackson crimson leather-based jacket and single, sparkly glove isn't something in need of stimulated. The uncredited cameo by Jon Lovitz is him at his terrific. Runner up: A Dry White Season. Set in Apartheid South Africa, we see to what lengths human beings will bypass to objective to guard the prestige quo... no remember how unjust and corrupt it could be. fairly severe action picture.
