Rating : 8.0 / 10
9. The Shining
A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.

A brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant
man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.David Cronenberg's very R-rated, very intense and very excellent remake of The Fly
made Jeff Goldblum a star in the role of Seth Brundle, a scientist who
invents telepods meant to change the world. Instead, they change him
into a man-fly monster when a fly accidentally gets trapped in one of
the machines as Seth teleports from one pod to the other.
Rating : 7.5 / 10
Director: David Cronenberg
Stars: Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, John Getz
7. Poltergeist
A family's home is haunted by a host of ghosts.Director Toby Hooper and producer Steven Spielberg (who was rumored to have a much more "directorial influence" than credited for) created a veritable masterwork that took the ghost story out of ancient castles and haunted mansions and shoved it, without apology, into the happy suburban track home.
Rating : 7.4 /10
A young journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it.
The concept for The Ring is simple and effective. An unsuspecting viewer watches a tape full of creepy imagery and a creepier girl. One week later, they're found dead from sinister but mysterious causes. And when our lovely heroine becomes the latest viewer, she has only days to save herself and her family from this deadly curse.
Rating : 7.1 / 10
A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood for the murder of his sister, escapes and stalks a bookish teenage girl and her friends while his doctor chases him through the streets.
Michael himself was an excellent villain, wearing a blank, emotionless
mask that perfectly captured the black soul of someone who simply killed
and killed, and seemingly couldn't be stopped, no matter what you did
to him. It's no wonder Michael became a horror icon and that fans
rebelled when he didn't appear in Halloween III. After all, Michael Myers and Halloween both the film and the actual holiday are now forever intertwined.
Rating : 7.9 / 10
Director: John Carpenter
Stars: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tony Moran
4. The Silence of the Lambs
A young FBI cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.
1991's best film, according to the Academy, is worthy of multiple
viewings if you can get through a first. I suggest watching it with
some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Rating : 8.7 / 10
The crew of a commercial deep space mining ship, investigating a suspected S.O.S., lands on a distant planet and discovers a nest of strange eggs.
Alien doesn't resemble many sci-fi movies of the time. Artist H.R. Giger designed a world full of twisted tubes, cold hallways, and pervasive darkness. Before Alien, pop culture never warned us how dark, dirty and scary the cold depths of space were. Director Ridley Scott adopted a "less is more" approach that later sequels sadly abandoned. Modern directors can cram all the Aliens and Predators they want into their films, but none can match the sheer claustrophobic terror generated in the original Alien.
Rating : 8.5 / 10
A thirty-something secretary steals $40,000 from her employer's client, and subsequently encounters a young motel proprietor too long under the domination of his mother.
Scene to watch with the lights on: What scene could we
pick but the quintessential shower slaying? Coupled with the iconic
music cue, this scene remains a horror classic 50 years later.
Rating : 8.6 / 10
When a teenage girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two priests to save her daughter.
The movie's premise, a little girl possessed by a demon, is scary enough
as words on paper. But what director William Friedkin does with it,
aside from prove that he has a seriously strong (or frightfully off)
constitution for this sort of stuff, is treat the extraordinary of it
all as if it were really happening next door to us.
Rating : 8.1 / 10
Director: William Friedkin
Stars: Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Linda Blair
