The Shining is one of cinemas most mysterious and haunting experiences. It's by far the best horror film l've ever seen. A feat that is all the more impressive when you consider the age of this movie.    Though meticulously hinted towards, The Shining is a movie that is never fully explained & therefore, understood - "and you always fear what you don't understand". Calculated. Unapologetic. Horror. That's what the Shining is. One of the best movi...

Get Out is enthralling. It's one of those movies that you simply cannot stop watching. The tension is palpable and builds so gracefully throughout the film. It's expertly crafted, brilliantly paced and above all - it's scary. It's the perfect modern ...

A beautifully executed & original horror movie. It is so exiting BECAUSE nothing happens. It is so scary because it ISN'T.. It's 'found footage' done in the absolute best way; Creepy, eerie and exceedingly horrific! Give this one a watch if you h...

An insane movie in all the right ways. A beautiful and mysterious built up, incredible pacing and an overwhelmingly powerful pay off - Mother! Is a movie I could recommend to just about anyone. Jennifer Lawrence gives an amazingly committed performan...

The Conjuring is the perfect ‘first horror movie’. Its scares are predictable yet well done, its story and & cast are engaging throughout and the pacing keeps things moving for the majority's of the movies duration. It looses a point overall for ...

What a brilliant concept for a movie. Very well executed and cleverly paced, 'The Village' is the horror turned romance you didn't know you needed. With more than one brilliant twist and genuinely suspenseful scenes - this movie is an absolute joy to...

IT is a movie i'd describe as 'the perfect introduction to horror. Its narrative is basic yet engaging. The ensemble cast are excellent in their respective roles and the pacing keeps tension high & the ball rolling throughout the duration of the ...
#7 IT (2017)

The perfect modernisation of classic horror. I say modern - it is a very 90s movie, but the way it subverts the earliest of horror themes and conventions is so damn clever - it's just as scary but in a whole new & self aware way. I should say, th...
#8 Scream (1996)

Exquisitely paced, well shot and decently preformed - Midsommar is exactly what you'd expect it to be in all the right ways. Watching the main characters slowly realise how f***ed up of a situation they are in has got to be one of my favourite tropes...
#9 Midsommar (2019)

The narrative of this movie is as strong, if not stronger than it is in the original. The scares are just as scary and cast just as compelling. The 'tone' or 'atmosphere' of the film does differ from the first in a way that leaves something to be des...
#10 The Conjuring 2 (2016)
