The greatest and creepiest horror film of all time!!! Polanski introduced to us a fascinating story with satanism and prepartum deliria as the main subjects. the world wouldn't be the same after this film, from a cinematic view as well as for the consecuences led by it.

horror/suspense masterpiece. Hitchcock hits the spot once again, creating one of his most eerie and captivating films. full on twists, memorable performances, as well as the best murder ever captured on screen!

Without any doubt, a horror masterpiece. Every silence, feeling, and presence is loaded with chilling and mesmerizing power. Nicholson drives the film through the edge, as well as Kubrick's "sense and sensibility" for space and lighting. operatic, barroque and remarkable style. A must see for any horror-Kubrick afficionado.

Landmark horror classic with an interesting socio-political subtle. low budget/documentary feel, raw claustrophobic, intense, nightmarish, and highly addictive.
|
|
| 5 |
What else can I say, an eternal cult classic. one of the most chilling and horrifying film experiences ever. definitely not for the faint-hearted.
|
|
| 6 |
Cult classic emerged from 70s demonic craze. Gregory Peck, Lee Remick and the boy Harvey Stephens deliver powerful & nerve-racking performances, All led by Richard Donner's haunting take on Satan's child rise.

sexual and bloody tour de force. Polanski makes his own femenine, twisted and lovely to look at version of Norman Bates.
|
|
| 8 |
No one does it to you like Max Shreck's horrifying portrayal of the immortal walking corpse Count Nosferatu. Murnau conjures up the supernatural with immeasurable power.
|
|
| 9 |
One of Cronenberg's most comercial and yet superb films. gruesome, gory, raw and yet touching. one of the best sci-fi/horror films, better than the original.

Polanski finishes the apartment dwelling trilogy with a unique, strange and captivating film loathed by critics back on its release. it goes from a regular, existential black comedy unrelentingly transmuting itself into a paranoid, atmospheric journey of macabre visions and insanity.
|
|

Jacques Tourneur's mise-en-scene is flawless. A misty demonic tale that can elicit any good enthusiast of subtle horror without the use of blood or any other gimmick. Great performances by Niall MacGinnis and Dana Andrews. doesn't matter Satan looks fake, it still holds a menacing look.
|
|
| 12 |
Ridley Scott's best film. visually stunning and suspenseful all the way.
|
|
| 13 |
A remake that surpasses the original in every way. An exciting, atmospherical, claustrophobical alien whodunit with great gory f/x.
|
|
| 14 |
Another haunting Hitchcock classic, riveting take on Daphne Du Maurier tale of despair for mankind's reign on earth.
|
|
| 15 |
director Peter Medak wisely sees things through the big scope, creating a chilling, eerie, atmosferical film with a great performance by the equally brilliant George C. Scott. one of the most striking and yet sadly overlooked horror film. a must see for any haunted house movie fan.
|
|
| 16 |
A shifting visceral cerebral austere horror fantasy that blows your mind away. long live the new flesh, Cronenberg's masterpiece, period.
|
|
| 17 |
Creepy gothic ghost tale with a great performance by Deborah Kerr. stunning photography by Freddie Francis and impressive tact for suspense by Jack Clayton.
|
|
| 18 |
Although more funny than scary, this has to be one of the best sequels ever done. James Whale's narration is lyrical and stylish, the settings evoke gothic mystique and Boris Karloff perfectly embodies the tall walking corpse, who embarks on a murderous rampage after the events of the first film, only to find at the end that even he has a heart. excellent horror/black comedy universal classic.
|
|

Startling, intense, eerie, ambiguous and subtle psychological horror classic. great example of solid storytelling.
|
|

Giallo watermark. full of suspense, excitement and violence. uneven but effective soundtrack. likeable performances. stylish lighting, atmosphere and art direction. twisted fun ride.
|
|

The lovely Jessica Harper is one of the maidens chosen for sacrifice in this grisly phantasmagorical tale. Artsy, kaleidoscopic photography and unnerving score by the goblins.
|
|
| 22 |
Sci-fi/horror classic that serves as an allegory for the seek of perfection (read nazism) and the consequences it brings. a lot of creepy moments and a very skillful montage in the final scenes.
|
|
| 23 |
Intelligent and disturbing horror film with the usual Romero's social emphasis. More than a mere Zombie movie, it's a thrilling, colourful, in-your-face parable about exacerbated capitalism.
|
|
| 24 |
Stephen King's fist novel adapted to the silver screen is one of De Palma's most realized and nerve-racking films. the ending is by far one of the best and most unexpected shocks in the history of the genre.

original, dark, and fun french thriller, written by the same duo who made possible Hitchcock's Vertigo and Clouzot's Diaboliques
|
|
| 27 |
cult classic, one of the grand daddies of slashers. hallucinating, raw, tingles of cinema veritè/documentary feel make a nerve-racking stay with one hell of a family.
|
|
| 28 |
Cronenberg delivers his dwarfs of rage with his usually intelligent, fascinating and disgusting pseudo-metafisic plot and atmosphere. this is with no doubt the best of his early works.
|
|
| 29 |
The best adaptation of Matheson's apocalyptic novel. Vincent Price is as good as always, this time in a more contained role. the overall mood is effective, austere and creepy.
|
|
| 30 |
An eerie, unpretentious and well told psychological drama, now a cult film. the ending scared the shit out of me when I was a child.
|
|
| 31 |
With the valuable support of Bernard Herrmann in a terrifying score and Paul Hirsch's superb editing, De Palma accurately exploits Hitchcockian themes for the first time, and even creates his most dazzling split-screen scene ever.
|
|
| 32 |
A bit dated and made with low budget, but it has very interesting premise and some moments of bone chilling psychological horror. A "drive-in" classic.
|
|
| 33 |
Most of the time is nothing more than the drama of a married couple, but little by little things start turning distressing and creepy. terrifying twist at the end.
|
|

Giallo arrives to america. Carpenter explodes the suspense in high scale and creates a dark and menacing atmosphere. A sexy Jamie Lee Curtis is great in the lead role.

Pretty good take on Poe's short story by writer Richard Matheson and director Roger Corman, with his eerie and cheap atmosphere. Vincent Price, without his mustache, proves why he is the ultimate horror legend.

Boris Karloff plays the leader of a bunch of satanists, and is willing to sacrifice a married couple, who are unexpectedly protected by none other than Bela Lugosi. Duel of titans that has few or nothing to do with Edgar Allan Poe's short story, but is directed with attractive expressionism by Edgar G. Ulmer, an underrated king of B movies

The always cool Vincent Price plays again a vengeful devilish man in this delightful 3-D film.
