Favorite Horror Movies

This is a movie I just stumbled upon and didn't know too much about it beforehand. And not at all expected it to be so good, a masterpiece. Isabelle Adjani is perfect as Anna/Helen and a particular detail I loved was her her dirty blue dress she doesn't change.

The Shining really got me into horror and I'm so grateful for that. Making an actually oppressing horror movie with all scenes shot in broad daylight is very impressive and a smart decision. The Shining is truly a one of a kind (like most of Kubrick's films), especially in the horror field. Though I prefer graphic horror to psychological, The Shining is just built in such an exceptional way that you got to love it.

Seventies' horror at its finest. Leatherface is a simple character, yet so scary. Somehow you still feel sorry for him. Very oppressive atmosphere. The ending is gold.

Dead Alive is so crazy and cheesy, definition of splatter almost. The Mum-scenes are disgusting, yet very funny. People who don't like horror (or splatter for that matter) probably think I'm crazy for loving this.

I know this movie isn't exactly horror but I also qualify exploitation on this list :)

"I wonder who the real cannibals are."

I love how it's not all what it seems to be: gore, blood and cannibals - they are almost a side issue. No, Cannibal Holocaust tells so much about ourselves.

Touchingly primitive, yet a great pioneer for horror film. Black & white looks great.
