My favorite horror movie. It is a beautifully filmed, realistic piece as Greg McLean's feature debut. The main characters who are a far cry from normal horror idiots.

Another slow-burn that is a classic. Nuff said.

Kick-butt women unlike many of their helpless horror progenitors. The ultra-claustrophobia from the 2nd feature of director Neil Marshall made everyone take a second look at Brit horror. His first feature Dog Soldiers isn't a bad one either.

One of the goriest films in recent memory. A brand new one to scare the preggies since Rosemary's Baby. It's not perfect but when it hits it, it goes for the gold. The insane performance by Beatrice Dalle is a great addition to the growing catalog of women slashers.

Take one of the most beloved film actresses of a generation and make her even more vulnerable (blind) and put her in grave danger and you've got the recipe to one of scariest movies of its decade. The final scare is the biggest jump-out-of-your-seat moments since Psycho and probably history.

The Citizen Kane of horror. Largely before it's time and containing all sorts of largely to be copied creepy bits.

Technicolor slasher. Nuff said.

A nice little movie. This home invasion flick slowly plies on the creepery keeping you on your toes the whole way through. I love slow burners but when a movie can really sustain the tension throughout an entire film that is just masterful. Any potential horror director should check this flick out as part of a course on how to maintain suspense and create dread.

This film starts off as an evil kids slasher but develops into a completely monstrous psycho-sexual horror. Should have seen that coming from the master of sci-fi horror Croenburg
