1. The Saw Series
My all-time favorite horror film would be Saw. This is the most twisted film from all the horror and slasher films that I have seen. This has the most twisted plot that unravels along the story line. The creepy and psychologically traumatizing kidnapping going on in this movie is its main highlight. "Jigsaw" kidnaps his victims, who he thinks do not deserve to live or be granted with a life, and puts them in a "game" where they have to play the rules in order to live. They are put to suffer and they start to panic once they play the game and do the most wild things unimaginable. It is a strong psychological battle with oneself in order to survive. Things unravel as the story goes, why jigsaw kills? who are his victims? what happens if he gets caught or if he dies? I think Jigsaw is one of the world's creepiest doll next to Chuckie.
2. Evil Dead (2013)
The set, color, and frames all match together and create a creepy vibe into the film in order to feel the emotions more. The colors were toned down so that it will give the feeling of horror and loneliness. The killing scenes are also to watch out for. The effects were almost like reality that you would feel your insides turning as you see how Mia pulls out her hand that was stuck from under the car and it gets separated from her arm.
3. The Exorcist (1973)
Possession is one mostly used plot in horror films. Talking about possession, The Exorcist would be the scariest possession ever made in film. The movie is about a demonic possession of a 12 year old girl and her mother's attempt to bring her back by doing many tests until she approves of exorcism.
The movie portrayed possessions really disturbing and scary. The sets portrayed a big role in the movie as it established the scenes of the movie. Special effects and makeup helped a lot to make the movie, so that if close-ups were necessary it would look realistic. The famous spider-walk scene (when Linda Blair went down the stairs with her back bent backwards) in this movie will never get old!
4. Thirteen Ghosts (2001)
Thirteen Ghosts is a horror film based on a ghost hunter and his team finding to capture a ghost called the Juggernaut. The ghost hunter, Cyrus, inherited a house wherein he planned to move there with his two children. The house they move into a glass house with Latin inscriptions on it. 12 ghosts are imprisoned in the house and one by one they were set free and the team inside the house were also killed one by one.
This is one of the most memorable horror films that I have watched. At first it doesn't seem like a horror movie due to the fancy glass house but when the ghosts were one by one presented it was really creepy. The film had received bad reviews as they say that it lacked in scare senses and that it has bad editing. But I think the film has a great story and character presentations.
5. A tale of two sisters (2003)
A Tale of Two Sisters is a South Korean psychological horror film. This South Korean film talks about two sisters who came home from a psychiatric hospital and deals with their evil stepmother. Su-mi being the elder sibling, she is protective and takes care of her younger sister, Su-yeon who is shy and is and introvert. The siblings encounter a ghost during night-time especially Su-yeon. Su-mi becomes more protective and becomes cautious toward their stepmother. It turns out that Su-yeon is actually already dead and the stepmother is absent throughout the whole film.
This is also one psychologically twisted film. The film uses flashbacks in order to explain the occurrences in the scenes. The flashback is a major point in the film as it helped create the whole story line. Watching the film as it is make it seem like it's like any ordinary horror film, but the twist of the film is really surprising so i really recommend this a must watch!
I hope you like the 5 movies I recommended! :)
