Deep dives
1. The Changeling
The Changeling is a favorite horror movie that genuinely freaked me out. It follows a man who moves into a haunted house and discovers a ghostly child in a wheelchair. The movie builds suspense and features a creepy seance scene and a terrifying moment with a bouncing ball. It cleverly plays with the protagonist's lack of fear until a moment that shocks both him and the audience.
2. Train to Busan
Train to Busan is a modern classic and my favorite zombie movie. It takes place on a high-speed train during a zombie apocalypse. The characters must reach their destination before the infected zombies on the train spread and take over. This film revitalizes the zombie genre and offers thrilling and intense moments.
3. Scream
Scream is not just a typical slasher movie. It brilliantly breaks the fourth wall and subverts genre conventions. The opening scene, in particular, is genuinely horrifying and sets the tone for the rest of the film. Scream combines suspense, humor, and self-awareness to create a unique and engaging horror experience.
4. Cabin in the Woods
Cabin in the Woods is another must-watch horror movie that defies expectations. It cleverly deconstructs horror tropes while keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The film offers a thrilling and entertaining ride, blending horror, comedy, and surprises.
5. Psycho
Psycho, directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, is a masterpiece of suspense and psychological thrills. It follows the story of Norman Bates and the eerie Bates Motel. Psycho is a classic horror film that features iconic scenes and a legendary twist ending.
