scariest films

1. The Shining

2. Irreversible

incredibly well made and relentless film about a terrible subject..highly graphic: buyer beware.

3. Event Horizon

4. Straw Dogs

5. Hostel

I will never stay in a youth hostel because of this film

6. Ring

7. Battle Royale

8. Cube

fantastic premise, and the sequels aren't horrible

9. The Collector

10. The Silence of the Lambs

11. Suicide Club

12. Misery

13. The Thing

14. Sleepaway Camp

best freaky surprise ending ever

15. The Hitcher

16. Broken

I only give this film half a star because I could barely stomach several scenes and felt there was no redeeming outcome. If you're interested in gore and a good scare though, this one's for you.

17. Suspiria

high on visual style and fantastic though repetitive soundtrack

18. A Clockwork Orange
