- DirectorChristopher SmithStarsMelissa GeorgeJoshua McIvorJack TaylorFive friends set sail and their yacht is overturned by a strange and sudden storm. A mysterious ship arrives to rescue them, and what happens next cannot be explained.A brilliant, disturbing, mindfuck that will tie your brain into knots and shock you as you slowly receive new information and everything eventually makes sense. After the credits rolled, I spent hours upon hours reading articles and blogs that analyzed this movie.
- DirectorClaudio FragassoStarsMichael Paul StephensonGeorge HardyMargo PreyA vacationing family discovers that the entire town they're visiting is inhabited by goblins, disguised as humans, who plan to eat them.Warning: this film is not suitable for those allergic to terrible costumes, bad acting, baffling dialogue, and silly death scenes. If The Room is the Mona Lisa of bad movies, Troll 2 is The Scream of bad movies...because it makes you want to slowly slip into hysterical madness while your feeble human senses try to comprehend what you're experiencing. In other words, it's the best horror comedy you will ever see. Watch with other people for even more fun.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartJohn DallFarley GrangerTwo men try to convince themselves they've committed the perfect murder by hosting a dinner party after strangling a former classmate to death.A unique movie that's filmed in what seems like one long take and set in a single room, making it feel like a stage play. The suspense is palpable as the tension rises and falls with each character interaction and you wonder if the dinner guests will ever discover the body in the room. A wonderful thriller. Probably doesn't quite count as horror, but the atmosphere as the tension hangs in the room and the sun slowly sets into darkness feels like horror to me.
- DirectorDon SiegelStarsKevin McCarthyDana WynterLarry GatesA small-town doctor learns that the population of his community is being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates.A chilling classic as a man slowly discovers that everyone around him is being replaced with an alien replica. Creepy atmosphere and visuals along with a gripping story make this a required viewing for all horror fans.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.Creepy atmosphere, spine-chilling visuals, unsettling music, and surreal cinematography combine into a stunning horror masterpiece. This movie expertly approximates the feeling of either losing your own sanity or helplessly witnessing a loved one losing theirs. Watching it is an experience like no other. The tension never lets up. Though it has no actual monsters and barely any gore, it manages to be one of the most uniquely haunting movies in existence. There's a good reason why The Shining is so popular among horror buffs.
- DirectorNeil MarshallStarsShauna MacdonaldNatalie MendozaAlex ReidA caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.A wonderfully acted all-female cast of characters try to find their way out of a dark underground cavern while some...thing stalks them. The dark, claustrophobic setting will make you feel trapped and helpless as you watch the young women desperately scramble and fight for daylight while facing an unknown assailant.
- DirectorTyler MacIntyreStarsTory StolperTracey FairawayMaria BlasucciThree young women go out partying and wake up attached together as a Frankenstein monster. With their individual personalities still intact, the three women set out to figure out what happened to them.One of the funniest horror-comedy movies I've ever seen! It's a unique spin on the Frankenstein concept that features three women that wake up on an operating table to find that they've been stitched into one body and share the same consciousness yet their three personalities coexist. A wonderfully zany movie with much of the comedy coming from the three women's personalities clashing and arguing with each other in the same body. I also appreciate any horror movie with well-developed, badass female characters and this film nails that aspect. This is an underrated gem.
- DirectorMatt ReevesStarsMike VogelJessica LucasLizzy CaplanA group of friends venture deep into the streets of New York on a rescue mission during a rampaging monster attack.This is one of the best found footage movies. The horror comes from the panic and chaos as an unknown who-knows-what starts attacking. You are taken on a journey around NYC to escape the unknown entity and the atmosphere is truly creepy.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA Phoenix secretary embezzles $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother.A creepy classic that gives you a whole new perspective halfway through the film. The suspense builds throughout. Norman Bates is an unforgettable antagonist and once you lay eyes on him, you cannot turn away. This movie is ahead of its time.
- DirectorJennifer KentStarsEssie DavisNoah WisemanDaniel HenshallA single mother and her child fall into a deep well of paranoia when an eerie children's book titled "Mister Babadook" manifests in their home.Horrifying visuals, chilling atmosphere, and an interesting monster make this a modern-day classic. A story about the horrors of unprocessed grief and depression that you try to hide but can never completely escape from.
- DirectorDarren Lynn BousmanStarsPaul SorvinoAnthony HeadAlexa PenaVegaA worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however.A fun horror rock-opera! The songs are catchy, the acting is theatrical, the gore is over-the-top, and the story might even make you emotional.
- DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntJohn KrasinskiMillicent SimmondsA family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.Due to the nature of the creatures attacking by sound, the jump-scares are truly terrifying. This movie will unconsciously force you to become deadly quiet as you're fully immersed in the plight of the family. A Quiet Place provides an experience not too many other horror films can give you.
- DirectorEli CraigStarsTyler LabineAlan TudykKatrina BowdenAffable hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of preppy college students.One of the funniest horror parodies with a clever subversion of the murderous hillbilly trope. A lot of fun.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsRon PerlmanDoug JonesSelma BlairA demon raised from infancy after being conjured by and rescued from the Nazis, grows up to become a defender against the forces of darkness.A horror movie and a superhero movie with a compelling protagonist and delightful Lovecraftian elements.
- DirectorJemaine ClementTaika WaititiStarsJemaine ClementTaika WaititiCori Gonzalez-MacuerViago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are struggling with the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.Fun, hilarious mockumentary with vampires. This is a treat for classic movie monster fans and a masterpiece in horror-comedy.
- DirectorFede AlvarezStarsJane LevyShiloh FernandezJessica LucasFive friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods.
- DirectorDaniel MyrickEduardo SánchezStarsHeather DonahueMichael C. WilliamsJoshua LeonardThree film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.The father of found footage horror. This movie will mess with your mind and when you immerse yourself in the characters' situation, you will experience the sinking feeling that comes with being lost in a forest with no end while some...thing is out there, just out of sight. Things go bump in the night, things disappear in the night, and nothing is explained. This movie is proof that the human imagination is 10x scarier than any explicit scare could ever hope to be.
- DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsWill RogersKristen ConnollyKether DonohueChaos breaks out in a small Maryland town after an ecological disaster occurs.This movie starts out slow and builds into utter horror. It begins as a curious mystery that gradually becomes a truly terrifying situation. It combines visual sources from a variety of mediums like police cams, posts, Skype calls, news interviews, and personal phone videos to make it stand out among found footage horror. This show shows that human carelessness and corrupt politicians are the real monsters.
- DirectorRouben MamoulianStarsFredric MarchMiriam HopkinsRose HobartDr. Jekyll faces horrible consequences when he lets his dark side run wild with a potion that transforms him into the animalistic Mr. Hyde.Deeply disturbing, even for today and especially for its time. Mr. Hyde is abusive and predatory and the vile things he does make you reflexively wince from the discomfort you feel watching him with his victims. It's not quite the cheesy monster movie you'd expect.
- DirectorOren PeliStarsKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsAfter moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.This is a movie that can terrify you just through sound and subtle movements. It will play with your mind and paralyze you as you wonder what's making the bump in the night...some of the sounds made my hair stand on end and played in my head over and over again. A beautiful case of horror minimalism. The human imagination can create so much with so little to go on. I had trouble going to sleep on the night I watched this.
- DirectorValeri MilevStarsBruce PayneDaniella AlonsoRoger CrossIt's been 5 years since the Re-Animates outbreak that wiped out 85% of the world's population. Within a few cities, the Re-Animates have been segregated into "zones" and are policed by the R-Division of the QUASI S.W.A.T. Unit.A unique zombie movie that's also a commentary on consumerism. The characters feel real and relatable, making the zombie threats feel more horrifying.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.A horror classic. A bit of a slow start, but once the plot gets rolling, it does not let up on the tension and suspense. There are so many scenes that are genuinely disturbing, especially if body horror creeps you out. This movie plays on the fear of the unknown, isolation, paranoia, and becoming inhuman.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsColin FarrellKiefer SutherlandForest WhitakerPublicist Stuart Shepard finds himself trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by an extortionist's sniper rifle. Unable to leave or receive outside help, Stuart's negotiation with the caller leads to a jaw-dropping climax.Thrilling and tense...the brilliance of it is that most of the story takes place in a single location, as once our main character enters the phone booth, he can never leave...
- DirectorMerian C. CooperErnest B. SchoedsackStarsFay WrayRobert ArmstrongBruce CabotA film crew goes to a tropical island for a location shoot, where they capture a colossal ape who takes a shine to their blonde starlet, and bring him back to New York City.Pretty disturbing and gruesome for an old movie. The monsters are stunning to watch.
- DirectorVincenzo NataliStarsNicole de BoerMaurice Dean WintDavid HewlettA group of strangers awaken to find themselves placed in a giant cube. Each one of them is gifted with a special skill and they must work together to escape an endless maze of deadly traps.Highly stylized movie all set in the deadly, mysterious Cube's maze of many rooms. Pay close attention to the characters as they develop and change over the course of the movie. If you love horror with a sci-fi twist, you cannot miss this one.
- DirectorChristopher SmithStarsDanny DyerLaura HarrisTim McInnernyDuring a team-building retreat in the mountains a group of sales representatives are hunted down one by one.A barrel of slash-y laughs with a colorful cast of characters. Although you tell me what's more horrifying: being hunted by a killer in the woods or being forced into company team-building activities?
- DirectorAdam WingardStarsDan StevensSheila KelleyMaika MonroeA soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNaomi WattsMartin HendersonBrian CoxA journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsCharles BoyerIngrid BergmanJoseph CottenTen years after her aunt was murdered in their London home, a woman returns from Italy in the 1880s to resume residence with her new husband. His obsessive interest in the home rises from a secret that may require driving his wife insane.A movie that highlights the very real horrors of psychological abuse.
- DirectorTravis OatesStarsMena SuvariBrian Austin GreenJoanne KellyTen people arrive at a secluded mountain resort to find it completely deserted. With no gas for the return trip, the visitors are forced to stay and investigate the mystery surrounding the abandoned lodge.Simple plot that's suspenseful and disturbing with no explanation to what's going on...and that's what makes the movie's premise so brilliantly horrifying.
- DirectorFrank OzStarsRick MoranisEllen GreeneVincent GardeniaA nerdy florist finds his chance for success and romance with the help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.A sometimes disturbing but mostly fun little musical horror comedy. Songs are very catchy and even heartwarming at times. Audrey II is iconic. A good time.
- DirectorDrew GoddardStarsKristen ConnollyChris HemsworthAnna HutchisonFive college friends head out to a remote cabin for a getaway, but things don't go as planned when they start getting killed. They soon discover that there is more to the cabin than it seems.A clever, masterful take on the slasher tropes. Very interesting themes. Say too much and I'll spoil it.
- DirectorNeil MarshallStarsSean PertweeKevin McKiddEmma CleasbyA routine military exercise turns into a nightmare in the Scottish wilderness.One of the best werewolf movies. The characters feel real and down-to-earth and the werewolves are downright disturbing.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsEthan HawkeJuliet RylanceJames RansoneA controversial true-crime writer finds a box of Super 8 home movies in his new home, revealing that the murder case he is currently researching could be the work of an unknown serial killer whose legacy dates back to the 1960s.This movie has some of the most disturbing visuals I've ever seen...terrifying.
- DirectorRuben FleischerStarsJesse EisenbergEmma StoneWoody HarrelsonA shy student trying to reach his family in Ohio, a gun-toting bruiser in search of the last Twinkie and a pair of sisters striving to get to an amusement park join forces in a trek across a zombie-filled America.

- DirectorAndy MuschiettiStarsBill SkarsgårdJaeden MartellFinn WolfhardIn the summer of 1989, a group of bullied kids band together to destroy a shape-shifting monster, which disguises itself as a clown and preys on the children of Derry, their small Maine town.Though there are some horrifying scenes here and there, this movie is more fun than it is scary. Like going through a spooky haunted house while knowing things are going to jump out at you and go "boo." There's also a good scary and great characters.
- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsCillian MurphyNaomie HarrisChristopher EcclestonFour weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.A zombie movie with a scrappy, lovable cast of characters and some terrifying monsters that don't just include zombies.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEmbeth DavidtzMarcus GilbertWhen Ash Williams is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., he must retrieve the Necronomicon and battle an army of the dead in order to return home.
- DirectorChris GorakStarsMary McCormackRory CochraneTony PerezA dirty bomb goes off in Los Angeles, jamming freeways and spreading a toxic cloud.A genuinely terrifying movie that taps into the modern-day horror of being trapped inside your own home with no information about the dangers of the outside world. If you're looking for jump-scares or gore, look somewhere else. But please watch if you're looking to experience the feeling of absolute helplessness and frustration.
- DirectorPedro AlmodóvarStarsAntonio BanderasElena AnayaJan CornetA brilliant plastic surgeon, haunted by past tragedies, creates a type of synthetic skin that withstands any kind of damage. His guinea pig: a mysterious and volatile woman who holds the key to his obsession.
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsIvana BaqueroAriadna GilSergi LópezIn the Falangist Spain of 1944, the bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.This movie has gory effects that manage to be both laughably campy and disgusting. And a bizarre scene involving a woman being molested by a tree that's difficult to burn from your memory... Still, the cinematography and lighting gives the movie a creepy atmosphere and the constant feeling of dread. It's a B-movie that somehow manages to not become a B-movie.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsKatie ParkerCourtney BellDave LevineA woman and her sister begin to link a mysterious tunnel to a series of disappearances, including that of her own husband.Underrated. This movie has compelling, down-to-earth characters that emotionally pull you in. Unlike most horror movies, these characters feel real, like you could be friends with them in real life. So the horror feels worse than usual because of your attachment to these people. And it will scare you by showing you juuuust enough to let your imagination run wild...and grip you with terror. There's not much gore or creepy imagery. But you will be terrified with atmosphere and tension.
- DirectorRichard GrayStarsJoseph CrossBriana EviganRafi GavronA group of young friends make an incomprehensible discovery in an abandoned mine, but the more they try to change the future, the more they seal their fate.Underrated gem that messes with your mind. There's an original plot with temporal paradoxes/time loops and that makes it fun watching it a second time.
- DirectorMary HarronStarsChristian BaleJustin TherouxJosh LucasA wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsKate BeckinsaleJim SturgessDavid ThewlisAn Oxford graduate takes up a job in a mental asylum, only to discover that the "revolutionary" new treatments are inhumane, and that there is more going on than meets the eye.This movie has a great story with some surprising twists. Asks the question, "Who is a true monster?" An unexpectedly feel-good horror movie.

- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsRay MillandGrace KellyRobert CummingsA former tennis star arranges the murder of his adulterous wife.
- DirectorTod BrowningKarl FreundStarsBela LugosiHelen ChandlerDavid MannersTransylvanian vampire Count Dracula bends a naive real estate agent to his will, then takes up residence at a London estate where he sleeps in his coffin by day and searches for potential victims by night.Classic! The pioneer of vampire films. Bela Lugosi IS Dracula. A wonderfully chilling atmosphere. Memorable lines of dialogue. Great character interactions. Dracula is a fascinating, mesmerizing character with a glare that can strike terror in your heart even today. (And his minion, Renfield, is a wonderfully fun and creepy character on his own). Out of all the Universal monster movies, this one's the best.
- DirectorGeorge WaggnerStarsClaude RainsWarren WilliamLon Chaney Jr.Larry Talbot returns to his father's castle in Wales and meets a beautiful woman. One fateful night, Talbot escorts her to a local carnival where they meet a mysterious gypsy fortune teller.The classic that originated the werewolf movie. Larry Talbot is a bit of a creep but becomes a very sympathetic and tragic protagonist. The scenes in the misty woods are quite chilling.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartKim NovakBarbara Bel GeddesA former San Francisco police detective juggles wrestling with his personal demons and becoming obsessed with the hauntingly beautiful woman he has been hired to trail, who may be deeply disturbed.
- DirectorPatrick BriceStarsKatie AseltonPatrick BriceMark DuplassA young videographer answers an online ad for a one-day job in a remote town to record the last messages of a dying man. When he notices the man's odd behavior, he starts to question his intentions.Fittingly, this movie will creep you out without resorting to disturbing visuals. Rarely can the performance of the actors alone unnerve you in ways you can't quite pinpoint. I liken it to the uncanny valley effect.
- DirectorPatrick BriceStarsKaran SoniMark DuplassDesiree AkhavanA video artist looking for work drives to a remote house in the forest to meet a man claiming to be a serial killer. But after agreeing to spend the day with him, she soon realizes that she made a deadly mistake.Just as good if not better than the first one. Suspenseful and, well, creepy to the very end.

- DirectorErle C. KentonStarsCharles LaughtonBela LugosiRichard ArlenA mad doctor conducts ghastly genetic experiments on a remote island in the South Seas, much to the fear and disgust of the shipwrecked sailor who finds himself trapped there.
- DirectorFrank MillerQuentin TarantinoRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeClive OwenBruce WillisAn exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption.
- DirectorTod BrowningStarsWallace FordLeila HyamsOlga BaclanovaA circus' beautiful trapeze artist agrees to marry the leader of side-show performers, but his deformed friends discover she is only marrying him for his inheritance.

- DirectorMichael DoughertyStarsAnna PaquinBrian CoxDylan BakerFive interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: an everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.A fun kind of horror film with different stories that cleverly connect with each other, all glued together by the iconic creature, Sam. The visuals put you in the Halloween spirit. It also has some great plot twists and gory scenes with some darkly humorous elements to them.
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsJamie Lee CurtisJudy GreerAndi MatichakLaurie Strode confronts her long-time foe, Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
- DirectorRobert EggersStarsAnya Taylor-JoyRalph InesonKate DickieA family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.A spooky story where the horror lies more in Puritan societal values than witchcraft. Really memorable scenes and some creepy visuals make this feel like a classic.
- DirectorStan WinstonStarsLance HenriksenJeff EastJohn D'AquinoAfter a tragic accident, a man conjures up a towering, vengeful demon called Pumpkinhead to destroy a group of unsuspecting teenagers.Great story, creepy atmosphere, terrifying monster...a Halloween treat
- DirectorJames Ward ByrkitStarsEmily BaldoniMaury SterlingNicholas BrendonStrange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.A mind-twister with a very interesting concept. Makes more sense as it goes along. Mysterious and suspenseful.
- DirectorPascal LaugierStarsCrystal ReedMylène FarmerAnastasia PhillipsA mother of two who inherits a house is confronted with murderous intruders on the first night in their new home and fights for her daughters' lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, things get really strange.One of the most disturbing movies I've seen. The horror feels very real and raw. Great plot twists. Gets under your skin.
- DirectorJohnny KevorkianStarsSam GittinsNeerja NaikAbigail CruttendenA family's Christmas takes a strange turn when they awake to find themselves trapped inside and begin receiving mysterious instructions through the television.Interesting all the way through. This movie does not let up on the tension. It has some really creepy visuals and disturbing concepts.
- DirectorMartin KoolhovenStarsGuy PearceDakota FanningEmilia JonesFrom the moment the new Reverend climbs the pulpit, Liz knows that she and her family are in great danger.This is a very dark, very powerful movie. The horror in this movie is real in that there's not really anything supernatural going on. I have never hated a character so much as I have the pure evil bastard in this one. I love the way the story is told through 4 different "chapters" and the first 3 go gradually backward in time. Makes me want to rewatch it in chronological order. Or maybe I won't ever rewatch it because this movie is pretty damn uncomfortable. The horror feels inescapable and gives you a sinking feeling throughout. It's a great film, but it's also one I wouldn't recommend to everyone because there's a lot of really fucked up shit in it that I can never forget. It has so much disturbing content. Incest, pedophilia, rape, torture, physical abuse, gruesome death scenes, and body mutilations. All with a tone of helplessness. So if you are emotionally disturbed by any of that, you may want to skip it.
- DirectorYeon Sang-hoStarsGong YooJung Yu-miMa Dong-seokWhile a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.One of the best zombie movies I've ever seen. The zombies can run and that makes them more of a threat to the characters. Also delivered a strong emotional impact. (Even made my brother cry) This movie is a tense, emotional rollercoaster.
- DirectorJames WhaleStarsColin CliveMae ClarkeBoris KarloffDr Henry Frankenstein is obsessed with assembling a living being from parts of several exhumed corpses.Not as interesting as the book it was based on, but definitely iconic as far as horror goes.
- DirectorKarl FreundStarsBoris KarloffZita JohannDavid MannersA resurrected Egyptian mummy searches Cairo for the girl he believes to be his long-lost princess.
- DirectorJack ArnoldStarsRichard CarlsonJulie AdamsRichard DenningA strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the Amazonian jungle. A group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study.

- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsLori CardilleTerry AlexanderJoseph PilatoAs the world is overrun by zombies, a group of scientists and military personnel sheltering in an underground bunker in Florida must decide on how they should deal with the undead horde.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsJason BegheJohn PankowKate McNeilA quadriplegic man has a trained monkey help him with his paralysis, until the little monkey begins to develop feelings, and rage, against its new master.An evil, murderous monkey makes this movie pretty scary. It's an interesting concept that's actually executed pretty well.
- DirectorPatricio ValladaresStarsJason LondonRobert EnglundGianni CapaldiWhen former LAPD officer Brett Anderson takes a job as head of security at an old apartment building in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia, he soon begins to experience a series of bizarre and terrifying events. Once he begins to delve deeper into the building's sinister history and investigate its shadowy owners and past employees, Brett soon uncovers a malevolent force nestled deep in the bowels of the building that will do anything to be set free into our world.A memorable movie with a story that's original and quite creepy, especially in the beginning when there was no explanation as to what was behind the door. The movie fell short when it attempted to explain everything and it all felt a bit silly. And it ended up being pretty generic. But then, the ending was great and fittingly haunting. It's a hit-and-miss.
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsChris MessinaCaroline DhavernasBokeem WoodbineA group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them.
- DirectorLarry CohenStarsMichael MoriartyAndrea MarcovicciGarrett MorrisA delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world.A fun, interesting take on the genre of alien invasion. Also a great commentary on the dangers of mindless consumerism.
- DirectorWilliam LustigStarsTom AtkinsBruce CampbellLaurene LandonA killer dressed in a police uniform begins murdering innocent people on the streets of New York City.
- DirectorDavid BrucknerStarsRafe SpallArsher AliRobert James-CollierA group of old college friends reunite for a trip to a most dangerous country in Europe - Sweden, encountering a menacing presence there stalking them.

- DirectorChristian AlvartStarsDennis QuaidBen FosterCam GigandetTwo crew members of a spaceship wake up from hypersleep to discover that all their colleagues are missing. Despite this, it appears that they are not alone.A rollercoaster ride. It starts out slow, but once it gets going, it never stops. So many twists and turns. At some point, it feels like a hokey adventure movie from the 80s and 90s. This movie takes bits and pieces from various horror and sci-fi movies and arranges them in an interesting way. It has some truly terrifying "OH SHIT" moments. Give it a watch if you enjoy movies like Alien, The Thing, and Apollo 13.
- DirectorAndré ØvredalStarsBrian CoxEmile HirschOphelia LovibondA father and son, both coroners, are pulled into a complex mystery while attempting to identify the cause of death of a young woman who was apparently harboring dark secrets.
