Paul believed they’ve gotten rid of the
force during the bloody pool showdown

number seven drag me to hell if you’ve
seen any of his Evil Dead series you
know sam raimi likes his horror with a

from Raimi the film culminates with
Allison Loehmann’s Christine realizing
she failed to break the curse placed on
her before falling onto a set of train
tracks a portal to Hell opens beneath
her with spectral arms dragging her in
and fulfilling the film’s title her
boyfriend played by Justin lon
can only watch in horror as Christine

is 2001 ghost story stars Nicole Kidman
as grace the mother of two children
living on an island off the coast of
Normandy following World War two I’ve
seen them – Grace and her kids begin to
believe their house is haunted as the
film goes on but the real shocker comes
near the film’s end is that how she

murdered her children before killing
herself and they’ve been the ghosts in
eventually Grace and her kids come to
terms with their status as ghosts and
decide to happily and peacefully inhabit
or haunt the house together number five

horror movie many were expecting but by
the film’s end all hell breaks loose and

to a head when the witch finally makes
her move creating chaos on the farm that

perfect payoff to the film’s churning
pace number four saw the year 2004 saw
director James Wan break onto the scene
with his horror hits saw the film shows
the struggle of several victims of the
serial killer known as jigsaw as they
attempt to solve his puzzle and escape
with their lives
the film’s twisting and turning plot
comes to a head when it’s revealed that
the seemingly dead body lying in the
room through the whole film was actually
the jigsaw killer himself every other
character in the film was essentially a
pawn in his game and there are no
winners in this one number three
