A paralysing, bone-chilling visit to London dungeons. Forced Halloween activity. From killer sharks to murderous psychopaths, horror genre is dreadful. Picked horror movies from slasher flicks, tense thrillers, supernatural stories, high psychological tensions.
Hereditary – superb jump scares, freaky folklore, disturbing dynamics. Unsettling, unpredictable.
The Exorcist – an undeniable, relentless horror classic. Kid begins levitating, speaking in tongues with miserable faces. Shocking.
REC – suspense is delicious, clever. An old Spanish building gets sealed off for an attempt to quarantine a deadly virus.
Jaws – outsized giant, man-eating great white sharks. Slow build tension, fear.
Silence Of The Lambs – serial killer Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins is rightly one of the most iconic, terrifying horror films.
Psycho – a genuinely frightening, stirringly scored, perfectly composed masterpiece. Worry about staying in family run hotels for rest of my life.
The Ring – a videotape filled with nightmare images leads to a phone call foretelling viewer’s death in exactly 7 days. Couldn’t sleep or watch TV for months.
The Omen – supernatural horror. As people around Damien die, priests realise he may be an Antichrist. Horrifying.
Dracula – Count Dracula, a 15th-century prince is condemned to live off blood of living for eternity. Dark, sexy, scary.
