My top horror films

Roman Polanski's disturbing film was such a critical and public success that it quickly established itself as a classic. The chilling feeling of incipient madness has seldom been realised with such skill and imagination and many of its more famous hallucinatory scenes have been imitated since. As Carole, the girl whose revulsion for men leads her along the corridors of lunacy to the flashpoint of violence, Catherine Deneuve shows all the agony of a tormented mind in her eyes. Intriguingly, it features the first depiction of female orgasm (sound only) to be passed by the British Board of Film Censors.

Though it was passed almost 50 years since Clouzot directed this film with the skill of a true master of the genre, one of the most suspenseful thriller ever made, and I can say in the same league as Hitchcock?s better films. The movie sets at an all-boys private school and introduces its three primary characters almost immediately: Michel (Paul Meurisse), the cruel headmaster; Christina (Vera Clouzot), his long-suffering wife; and Nicole (Simone Signoret), a teacher that's been having an affair with Michel for an unspecified amount of time. Christina knows about Michel's infidelity, and doesn't seem to mind terribly. It's just another reason for her to go along with Nicole's plan to murder him. The two women concoct a scheme involving spiked wine and drowning via bathtub, and everything seems to go smoothly. But when they temporarily dump the body in the school's swimming pool, that's when things go awry. Although the film begins quite slowly and innocently, it's around the 30-minute mark before anything of substance happens. After that very quickly becomes thoroughly compelling, to the point that the viewer dare not take his eyes off the screen for a minute. Clouzot delights in tormenting the audience - withholding vital secrets until the last possible second, while the screws are tightened more and more.
The last twenty minutes is so perfectly crafted that the effect is both frightening and intoxicating. Even when you guess correctly the outcome, the shock is still there. I believe that the film packs more surprises and thrills than most contemporary movies that claim to do the same. Diabolique is an amazing, atmospheric and wonderfully seedy tale of love, hate and death.

Christine is a 1983 horror film about a supernaturally malevolent automobile and its effects on the teenager who owns it, adapted from a novel written by Stephen King. The film was directed by John Carpenter, and set in 1978. Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon), a typical mild mannered high school nerd with only one friend, a childhood companion named Dennis Guilder (John Stockwell), a popular jock. Arnie's life begins to change when he discovers Christine, a red 1958 Plymouth Fury in serious need of repair. Arnie begins to restore Christine to her original beauty, but as he spends more and more of his time repairing her, those in his life notice that he is changing as well...
When you have in the same movie two horror kings director Carpenter and writer Stephen King the results are great. A very interesting viewing movie which has some nicely atmospheric sequences and creepy scenes when the cherry-red 1958 Plymouth Fury, takes on a personality of its own as a homicidally jealous female who is willing to kill to preserve the affections of its owner, a put-upon teenage nerd. Tight editing and some decent scares make this one of the better King adaptations. Absolute perfect choice for a Sunday night movie!!! Three "survivors" of the many red-and-white 1958
Plymouth Fury stunt cars used in Christine now reside in private hands, one in California, one in Florida and one in England.

REaly scare But I like it. What a film!!! Terror my love.

A realy very good horror film great to wacth (and I told Because I 'm not horror films fun) with the classic sense, that horror builds rather than constantly shocking, horror that works so well that we don?t need a guts every two seconds . The film has dark undertones about the nastiness of teenagers spirit, female sexuality, and bad christianity.
Wacthing the film felt the horror get me all around but the point is that I realy like it. Horror in this film is just and amazing felling and not something annoyed.

The Fly is an American Gothic fiction film released in 1986. Produced by Brooksfilms and 20th Century Fox, directed by David Cronenberg, and starring Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz, it is a big budget remake of the 1958 film of the same name, but with a different plot. The soundtrack was composed by Howard Shore. . One of the saddest explorations of love and loss captured in one of the most underestimated films. Solid and effective and yea I believe it's pretty disgusting, too. But still is a true horror classic.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American independent horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, and written collaboratively by Hooper and Kim Henkel. The film stars Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hansen, Teri McMinn, William Vail, Edwin Neal and Paul A. Partain.

One of my first horror films that I had seen....great...
