The Top 10 Horror Films of All Time

Top 10 Horror Movies Of All Time


It’s always difficult to come out and declare the top 10 best horror movies ever made. It’s inevitable that there will be complaints. One thing to remember is that movies aren’t made or seen in a vacuum. Whether you like a movie or not can be influenced by your age and what generation you’re in.

For example, The Exorcist is a classic, but it’s not on our list, and that’s because there are plenty of other scarier and more interesting flicks out there (according to us). Some flicks are historical touchstones, certainly, but we weighed other factors too. Editors Note: after a recent revisit to The Exorcist, we may have to throw it back in the list.

 

9.The Evil Dead (1981)

Evil Dead
And the maid doesn’t come till Sunday!

The first entry in Sam Raimi’s very fine trilogy about demons possessing the living. This is where Bruce Campbell’s career really took off, although his version of Ash in this movie is nothing like in parts 2 and 3. Here, he’s reluctant to do anything heroic and there’s no wisecracking. Probably because it’s hard to think of something funny to say when your loved one gets possessed and proceeds to chew her own hand off.

The Evil Dead goes pretty damn far to gross you out. There’s decapitation, dismemberment, blood pouring from open orifices, a pencil-to-ankle stabbing, Bruce Campbell being humped by his headless girlfriend’s corpse while simulataneously spewing blood into his face, and rape by a tree branch.

Evil Dead is the ultimate in what they call “spam in a cabin” flicks. It introduced the Necronomicon (book of the dead, bound in human flesh, written in blood) which itself comes alive a few times. It shows Sam Raimi’s brilliance in long tracking shots and establishing an atmosphere of claustrophobia. It also plays with genre conventions (“It won’t start!” she cries. “It won’t let us leave!” Then, the car starts.)
