- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA secretary on the run for embezzlement takes refuge at a secluded California motel owned by a repressed man and his overbearing mother.Such a masterpiece that even though you know what happens, you can't help but see it again!
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a mysterious entity possesses a young girl, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.Apperently this has taken the position of scariest movie of all time. Terrifying, yes. Scariest ever? You be the judge....
- DirectorRichard Bates Jr.StarsTessa FerrerKaren TiegrenPaul FahrenkopfA neglected teen takes refuge in the dreams that used to haunt her and orchestrates a shocking plan to prove her worth to her disapproving parents.holy mother of god. I am never terrified or grossed out but this is the only movie that has done the trick!
- DirectorTom SixStarsLaurence R. HarveyAshlynn YennieMaddi BlackInspired by the fictional Dr. Heiter, disturbed loner Martin dreams of creating a 12-person centipede and sets out to realize his sick fantasy.Yep, there is a second one. If possible, more terrifying than the first.
- DirectorTom SixStarsDieter LaserWinter WilliamsAshlynn YennieA mad scientist kidnaps and mutilates a trio of tourists in order to reassemble them into a human centipede, created by stitching their mouths to each others' rectums.Crazy German doctor?....enough said. This movie will creep you out in ways you didn't even think were possible.
- DirectorOren PeliStarsKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsAfter moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.Absolutely brilliant. The reason I love this movie is basically because it you cannot prove ghosts or demons do/do not exist. That is what is so terrifying about it. The way this movie is made, like a surveillance footage, puts you even closer to all the danger that is lurking around. One thing I learnt from this movie: never EVER sleep with your leg out of your blanket.
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsMia FarrowJohn CassavetesRuth GordonA young couple trying for a baby moves into an aging, ornate apartment building on Central Park West, where they find themselves surrounded by peculiar neighbors.Amazingly good. Mix between horror and thriller, this movie grabs your attention and never lets go.
- DirectorTakashi ShimizuStarsMegumi OkinaMisaki ItôMisa UeharaA mysterious and vengeful spirit marks and pursues anybody who dares enter the house in which it resides.The original Japanese version of the grudge, this movie is so frightening even when you might not understand it. If you want to, give the english one a go, but never go without seeing the original.
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsDavid CarusoStephen GevedonPaul GuilfoyleTensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back.straightout creepy. What's scarier than a mental asylum movie? Close to nothing.
- DirectorMark Del RioStarsForrest J. AckermanCharles Del RioRae DraegerA sleazy creep comes out at night to terrorize a small town in California.Two years later and I still have not forgotten this movie. It is so wrong and disgusting but so right and fascinating. Prepare to be exposed to new levels of WTF.
- DirectorEli RothStarsJay HernandezDerek RichardsonEythor GudjonssonThree backpackers head to a Slovak city that promises to meet their hedonistic expectations, with no idea of the hell that awaits them.The movie that made me worried about travelling for the longest time, this movie is definitely a standout.
- DirectorPascal LaugierStarsMorjana AlaouiMylène JampanoïCatherine BéginA young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend, who is also a victim of child abuse, on a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity.If you love horror with a combination of gore, this is your movie. Just some friendly advice, do not watch this alone. I learnt the hard way.
- DirectorAlexandre BustilloJulien MauryStarsAlysson ParadisJean-Baptiste TabourinClaude LuléFour months after the death of her husband, a woman on the brink of motherhood is tormented in her home by a strange woman who wants her unborn baby.So I finally decided to watch this movie after ages, just because it seemed scary. And you know what.....it totally was. It's so different to the movies that you normally get now that it actually makes you realise that the genre is called horror for a reason.
- DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsVera FarmigaPeter SarsgaardIsabelle FuhrmanA husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she appears.Such a good movie because not one scene is useless or pointless. Great story line!
- DirectorJames WanStarsCary ElwesLeigh WhannellDanny GloverTwo men awaken to find themselves on the opposite sides of a dead body, each with specific instructions to kill the other or face consequences. These two are the latest victims of the Jigsaw Killer.The whole series is terrifying purely for the fact that it could happen to anyone. Made me appriciate what I have just from the fear of this happening to me.
- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsGregory PeckLee RemickHarvey StephensMysterious deaths surround an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the Antichrist? The Devil's own son?Quite scary purely for the fact that the kid looks evil but cute.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNaomi WattsMartin HendersonBrian CoxA journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.This movie has close to everything. Sudden shock that makes you jump, a scary storyline, freaky corpse looking girl, a person who is just way too curious that its annoying. Still, a film I have never forgotten.
- DirectorColin MinihanStuart OrtizThe Vicious BrothersStarsBenjamin WilkinsonSean RogersonAshleigh GryzkoFor their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true.Its true. I love my ghost films. More so than not, those that show some form of reality and possibility. In saying this, Grave Encounters delivers.
- DirectorFred WaltonStarsCarol KaneCharles DurningRutanya AldaA psychopathic killer terrorizes a babysitter, then returns seven years later to menace her again.The original movie will strike a nerve with anyone who has ever been alone. Slightly made me fear answering my phone for a while.
- DirectorMarcel SarmientoGadi HarelStarsShiloh FernandezNoah SeganCandice KingTwo high school boys discover an imprisoned woman in an abandoned mental asylum who cannot die.A story that will leave you disgusted, angry, scared, and worried all at the same time. Dead Girl is about 2 teenage boys finding a body in an abandoned asylum. Sounds creepy already without me even going into details.
- DirectorGregory WilsonStarsWilliam AthertonBlythe AuffarthBlanche BakerIn a quiet suburban town in the summer of 1958, two recently orphaned sisters are placed in the care of their mentally unstable Aunt Ruth. But Ruth's depraved sense of discipline will soon lead to unspeakable acts of abuse and torture.Scarring movie. It leaves you feeling violated on so many levels.
