Great writing, massive amounts of blood, and great direction. If Winona and Keanu were missing, I'd mention the superb acting as well ;D.

Not necessarily a "horror movie," but the concept truly is: brainwashing. And when you see HOW it's done, it's horrifying.

OK, the last few additions have really gone off the deep end, but you cannot deny the creepiness of a childhood toy coming to life and trying to take your soul. After all, you were supposed to be friends to the end. ...Hi-de-ho.

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.75
I cannot watch this movie. Period. Scary as absolute hell. Linda Blair is overly convincing as a possessed child and the makeup is... well, if you haven't seen this movie, you don't know what true horror is. This movie was ahead of its time.
Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.65
Just an overall good movie. It's scary, WAY ahead of it's time (much like "The Exorcist"), and the acting is very good. Doesn't help that the franchise is cursed... Ooooh... ;-D
