THE 10 SCARIEST HORROR MOVIES EVER

Image
1. THE EXORCIST (1973) You may not agree that The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever, but it probably also isn’t much of a surprise to see it at the top of our list — with a whopping 19% of all the votes cast. William Friedkin’s adaptation of the eponymous novel about a demon-possessed child and the attempts to banish said demon became the highest-grossing R-rated horror film ever and the first to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars (it earned nine other nominations and took home two trophies). But outside of its critical and commercial bona fides, the film is well-known for the mass hysteria it inspired across the country, from protests over its controversial subject matter to widespread reports of nausea and fainting in the audience. Its dramatic pacing and somewhat dated effects may seem quaint compared to some contemporary horror, but there’s no denying the power the film continues to have over those who see it for the first time. 2. HEREDITARY (2018) Writer-director...

5 Bollywood Horror Movies That You Just Can’t Watch Alone

These horror movies will not let you sleep at night.  CAUTION: Spoilers and creeps ahead. 1. Raat (1992) Raat is considered to be one of the finest films RGV has made. It's a supernatural thriller that doesn't go over the top with the nuances of a horror film. The plot is set into motion when a kitten is killed and the leading lady is possessed with its spirit. After you watch this cult classic, you will never look at cats the same way. 2. 1920 (2008) A royal deserted mansion. Check. A mysterious caretaker. Check. A newly wed couple. Check. This movie abounds in every cliche expected of a horror film but what sets it apart from the others is the sheer artistic finesse with which the frames have been done. Chills guaranteed. 3. Raaz (2002) Inspired by the Michelle Pfeiffer starrer 'What Lies Beneath', Raaz was just the the beginning of a slew of horror films that Bipasha Basu was to sign later. Pfeiffer did a commendable job in the original. But our Bips matched her in e...

 TOP 5 HORROR MOVIES OF ALL TIME THAT WILL NOT LET LET YOU SLEEP.  5. THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) While the top four movies on this list collectively garnered 42% of the total votes counted, they were followed by six films that all earned around 3% of the vote each. In other words, these last six films were separated by no more than 60 votes. The first of them is this low-budget slasher directed and co-written by Tobe Hooper, very loosely inspired by the crimes of Ed Gein. Texas Chainsaw’s grimy aesthetic helped lend it an air of authenticity, which made it all the more frightening (“This could actually happen, you guys!”), and the massive, menacing presence of Gunnar Hansen’s Leatherface paved the way for other brutes like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Multiple attempts have been made to breathe new life into the franchise — and we have another one on the way — but none have equaled the original in sheer, over-the-top, power tool-inspired terror. 4. THE SHINING (19...
