series even though the haunting of Hill
number 10 The Sixth Sense sure its twist
ending in the iconic line I see dead
people may now be common knowledge and
the stuff of parody but don’t let its
cultural legacy for you The Sixth Sense
remains a thoroughly terrifying film
even decades after its release a young
Haley Joel Osment plays cold a boy who
can see and hear dead people as you can
imagine this provides ample
opportunities for terrifying moments not
just in the form of jump scares but also
long drawn-out encounters with the dead
that will have you sleeping with the
lights on oh you’re scaring me they
scare me too sometimes emotional and
creative but nonetheless sure to get
your heart racing The Sixth Sense is
well worth revisiting won’t be scared
we often overlook the importance of
sound in cinema in the horror genre
specifically it provides a particularly
interesting opportunity to get creative
in terms of scares in the 2016 film hush
a deaf-mute woman named Maddy living in
an isolated area becomes the target of a
nameless male killer it is a rather
straightforward slasher slash home
invasion film but a very well executed
one that’s further elevated by the
performances of its two leads I bet if I
hit the right spot I can make you scream
further distinguishing the film is its
handling of sound and silence which it
uses to crank up the tension to a fever
pitch number eight
Veronica young teen girl Ouija board
demonic possession an alleged true story
Veronica is a film with a lot of
familiar elements but trust us when we
say that in the case of this particular
movie those add up to something
memorable and truly terrifying a
spanish-language film set in Madrid in
1991 Veronica follows the titular
heroine as she succumbs to the influence
of a demonic force after partaking in a
seance during a solar eclipse the
relationship between Veronica and her
siblings gives the film a real emotional
core while director Paco places
experienced hand ensures a heavy and
number seven the autopsy of Jane Doe is
that for make sure he’s dead this is a
real gem of a film that far too many
people have overlooked due to its
limited release but it is a solid
unnerving and thoroughly surprising
movie that any genre enthusiasts would
do well to check out the presence of the
word autopsy might lead viewers to
believe that they’re signing up for a
Gore fest but it’s actually more of a
slow-burning horror when a father-son
team of coroner’s played by Brian Cox
and Emile Hirsch examined the mysterious
body of an unidentified woman they begin
to experience strange and disturbing
occurrences as things go from creepy to
downright terrifying you’ll find
yourself sucked into this tailspin of
fear right alongside them number six
Gerald’s game this is gonna be good for
his just really good before director
Mike Flanagan gave us the excellent
Netflix original horror series the
haunting of Hill House he proved himself
on the streaming service with his
adaptation of the Stephen King novel
Gerald’s game just the basic premise is
enough to give you nightmares
a couple Gerald and Jesse attempt to
rekindle their relationship with a
romantic weekend getaway unfortunately
during some forceful roleplay things go
from bad to worse when Gerald has a
fatal heart attack leaving Jessie
handcuffed to the bed equal parts
fascinating and terrifying the film is a
psychological horror that stands out
not were you number-5 poltergeist
a true classic of the genre poltergeist
continues to be an effective horror film
even many years after its initial
release it tells the story of the free
Lang’s a family from Orange County
California that finds their home invaded
by malevolent forces that torment them
and abduct their young daughter blending
conventions of sci-fi and the
supernatural poltergeist feels distinct
even when treading what since become
well-worn ground of course in the years
since the first film was released the
franchise has been plagued by death
mishaps and strange occurrences giving
birth to the myth of the poltergeist
curse and adding a whole new dimension
to the scares
number four Tara fire punctuality is the
thief of time dear honestly the name
doesn’t come anywhere close to preparing
viewers for the exercise and revulsion
and terror that comes with watching this
film Tara fire follows art the murderous
clown as he mercilessly mames mutilates
and dismembers numerous innocent victims
it feels like it was ripped straight out
of the 80s and is gratuitously violent
in a way that will scare away all but
the most ardent gore hounds there are
many people who feel it actually crosses
a line but if you’re looking for a tense
and disturbing slasher Tara fire lives
number three The Silence of the Lambs I
ate his liver with some fava beans and a
nice Chianti this movie requires little
introduction it’s the only horror film
to ever claim the Oscar for Best Picture
and is among a handful of movies to have
swept the top 5 categories at the
Academy Awards The Silence of the Lambs
stays with you long after the credits of
rolled because it’s villains are rooted
in reality these iconic silver screen
killers are the sort of people who could
very well exist and that’s a possibility
that haunts the viewers better than most
ghost stories it rubs the lotion on its
skin or else it gets the hose again
yes Buffalo Bill has aged poorly in
terms of issues of gender identity but
the Silence of the Lambs still has a lot
to offer including major scares no that
is incidental number two the witch I
think if me show me miss it this 2016
film bucks the trend of modern
mainstream horror for starters it’s a
period piece set in 17th century New
England and as any horror enthusiast
will tell you period piece horror isn’t
an easy nut to crack despite the odds
though writer and director Robert Eggers
overcame this self-imposed obstacle with
ease to deliver a truly remarkable and
terrifying experience the witch is short
on jump scares instead evoking a much
deeper sense of horror from its audience
a sort of looming and enduring feeling
of discomfort and existential dread that
works its way under your skin and
refuses to let go before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
number one the conjuring we have to get
out of here I’m afraid that’s not gonna
help directed by James Wan the conjuring
is a critically acclaimed horror film
that has since given birth to a movie
universe after having left his mark on
the torture porn genre with the
influential Saw franchise Juan gave us
one of the best haunted house films in
recent decades the conjuring follows
real-life husband and wife paranormal
investigators ed and Lorraine Warren
played to perfection by Patrick Wilson
and Vera Farmiga I can’t lose you
you won’t let’s finish this together the
story takes them to Harrisville Rhode
Island where the Perrin family is being
targeted by a malevolent spirit it’s an
old-fashioned horror film that nicely
balances scares with anxious
anticipation all held together by a cast
of characters you really come to care
about Nancy do you agree with our picks
