[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9481401, member: 7035894"] This list is subject to revision! Alien - We all know the reasons. I recently re-watched it with my kid. It still holds up. I like Aliens even more but just don't see it as a horror film. The Thing - see above. The blood test scene jump scares me every time even when I know exactly what is going to happen. Night of the Living Dead - invented the modern zombie genre, working as both a horror film and surprisingly cutting social commentary. Evil Dead 2 - This is horror comedy that is still legitimately horror. The Descent - probably the most unrelenting horror film I have seen, from a traumatizing opening scene to a bleak, bleak ending (if you don;t count the sequel). Eden Lake - hard to watch because it feels all too believable, as a couple get into a conflict with a bunch of teenagers and the whole thing just keeps escalating. That final scene! Poltergeist - I dunno if it would still scare me today, but teenaged Clint had a lot of trouble getting that clown out of his head. The Ring - no, not Ringu. I think The Ring is scarier - I legit did not see that ending coming and I almost soiled myself. Probably shouldn't have watched it alone. Let the Right One In - the American version is good, but the Swedish original is an icy psychological masterpiece. Cabin in the Woods - There are a lot of meta-horror films, and this might be my favourite. It Follows - I mostly prefer my horror to be a slow build, and this one has such an ingenious premise. Near Dark - Kathryn Bigelow's first film is a vampire western road movie, and a masterpiece of pacing and character building. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original, naturally. Another film that created a genre, and still holds up with its almost found footage, cinema verite feel. Get Out - another horror film that simultaneously embraces and deconstructs the genre, particularly as seen from a black perspective (the true horror doesn't come to the suburbs, it [I]is[/I] the suburbs). I'm teaching it in my Grade 12 Language and Literature class this term. Jaws - debated leaving it off, because it no longer scares me, even though it remains one of my favourite films. But back in the 70s, it not only terrified me, it made a whole nation afraid of the water. [/QUOTE]
