Top horror movies to watch!..........


Halloween -John Carpenter/Debra Hill (1978)

A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood escapes on a mindless rampage while his doctor chases him through the streets

Dr. Sam Loomis:" I- I- I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room, staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall - looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. Now you can either ignore it, or you can help me to stop it."

What can i say ,this is a fantastic film! and the only movie that i couldn't watch alone as it made me close my eye's everytime i heard that creepy music! It still does today!

It's the best stalker/slasher movie ever made and Micheal Myers character is an emotionless, inhuman & a relentless killer.
Mix this with the excellent performances from "Donald Pleasance" as Dr.Loomis and Jamie-Lee-Curtis as the target of Micheals obsession and you have a real chiller/thriller of a movie that will make you shout "he's behind you !"
"Halloween 2" continues straight after the original and is very good. "Halloween 3:season of the witch" doesn't feature Micheal Myers but is a good spin on the origins of Halloween! As for the rest it's a mix bag of slasher mayhem!

Rob Zombie is to remake a new original version!

The Grudge- (US) Takashi Shimizu/Sam Raimi (2004)

"It never forgives. It never forgets"

I think the US remake with the original director is far more scary and Sam Raimi really makes it that more intense!
Who would have a thought a little kid could be so scary!!!
The plot revolves around a house that is cursed by a family tragedy which effects anyone who dares to venture inside, leaving no place safe for you to hide!.
Watch this with you partner and your bound to get some hugs!

The Thing-John Carpenter (1982)

Scientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills

A remake of the classic "the thing from another world", John Carpenter creates a classic mix of sci-fi and horror which will keep you entertained and the characterisation is great as you work out who is good and who will turn bad!

Final destination- James Wong (2000)

After having a vision of his friends crashing in a plane, he tells them not to get on only later his friends start getting killed one by one

Inspired by J-horror theme's this is a fantastic movie and will keep you gasping at the eleborate death scene's and wondering "who will go next" !

Final destination 2- James Wong (2003)

When Kimberly has a violent premonition of a highway pileup she blocks the freeway, keeping a few others meant to die, safe...Or are they? The survivors mysteriously start dying and it's up to Kimberly to stop it before she's next

One of the best opening sequences i have ever scene involving a multi car pile up and the death scenes get more and more creative! Who said sequels aren't better!!

Final destination 3- James Wong (2006)

In this third installment of the Final Destination series, a student's premonition of a deadly rollercoaster ride saves her life and a lucky few, but not from death itself which seeks out those who escaped their fate

Running along the same lines as "FD2", you would think that the franchise has run out of steam , but oh-know , this starts off as a real roller-coaster of a ride (really!!) and get's better and better!

The Fog-John Carpenter/Debra hill (1980/2005)

A Northern California fishing town, built 100 years ago over an old leper colony, is the target for revenge by a killer fog containing zombie-like ghosts seeking revenge for their deaths

A classic creepy movie with a great conspiracy plot centred around an island community!
I am still split between both versions, the original is definatley more scary however the plot is better in the remake by John Carpenter though the original ending is better!

HellRaiser-Clive Barker (1987)

"You opened the box ,we came!"

An unfaithful wife encounters the zombie of her dead lover, who's being chased by demons after he escaped from their sado-masochistic Hell

What can i say , Clive Barker story from his "Books of blood" certainly makes him the master of romantic-gothic horror films! I was blown away when this was released as it was the first truelly gorey yet captivating movie i had seen and very dark indeed!

A Nightmare on Elm street -Wes Craven (1984)

You'll never want to fall asleep again!

In the dreams of his victims, a specteral child murderer stalks the children of the members of the lynch mob that killed him

From the man who gave us "The last house on the left" , Wes Craven shock's us awake with his knife fingered child murder "Freddy krueger"! (based on a bully from his school days). exploring dream psychology and scaring us when we close our eyes and hear....
"1-2 freddies coming for you.....3-4 better lock your door!"

Candyman-Clive Barker (1992)

I dare you to say his name 5 times in the mirror!

Helen Lyle is a student who decides to write a thesis about local legends and myths. She visits a part of the town

Tony Todd is fantastic and grand as "Candyman" with lines like "be my victim..." he makes an alternative and almost romantic Dracula type baddy who is based on an old urban legend.

the hills have eyes -Wes Craven (1977/2006)

"The lucky ones die first."

A suburban American family is being stalked by a group of psychotic people who live in the desert, far away from civilization

Wes improves and shocks more with this remake and the characterisation between the family members really draws you in! The intro is quite scary too! A great film and it's worth watching both!

Christine-John Carpenter/Stephen King (1983)

"She'll possess you. Then destroy you. She's death on wheels"

A nerdish boy buys a strange car with a evil mind of its own and his nature starts to change to reflect it

With an intro featuring the music "Born to be bad", Christine is a surprising and refreshing horror story about a car that has a mind of it's own and a boy that buys it and falls in love!

The Village-M. Night Shyamalan

The population of a small, isolated countryside village believe that their alliance with the mythical creatures that inhabit the forest around them is coming to an end.

A great film with an interesting and twisted plot to say the least and has some really creepy moments!

Signs-M. Night Shyamalan

A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields which suggests something more frightening to come

A film with great dramatic tension and is more scary/creepy than gory.Theres some really nice moments between all the characters and it explores the dynamic of a broken family experiencing strange going's on that could change the world!!

SEVEN-David Fincher

Police drama about two cops, one new and one about to retire, after a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as his MO

Good actors and a gripping/tense plot make a fantastic and watchable movie as Danny Glover and Brad Pitt chase on of a murderer who picks each victim according to the 7 deadly sins!

sAW-James Wan (2004)

With a dead body laying between them, two men (Whannell and Elwes) wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who's been nicknamed "Jigsaw" by the police because of his unusual calling card

This is a fantastic movie and keeps you guessing and wanting more all through the movie with it's clever and elaborate twists and death scene's.What would you do to save yourself?

sAW2- Darren Lynn Bousman (2005)

Jigsaw locks a few unlucky people in a booby trapped shelter and they must find a way out before they inhale too much of a lethal nerve gas and die. But they must watch out, for the traps Jigsaw has set in the shelter lead to death also

How do you top the first one? Easy! make the 2nd one even better! The set's and plot's are veen more elaborate this time!

The Fly-David Cronenberg (1986)

A brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong

Think "the Amytiville horror" meets "Alien/Hellraiser" in this cool space horror film which explores all parts of the bounderies of belief!

Misery-Stephen King (1990)
