A lot of people are not fans of horror movies. Violence, squeamish material, possessed people, zombies, ghosts and suspenseful moments turn them off. I am not one of these people. After taking a class in college on horror movies, I began to love them.
If you are looking to get into horror movies it is tough to sift through all the bad ones. Here are some scary movies that are worth seeing.
If you have never seen the first Saw movie, you may find it enjoyable whether or not you are a fan of horror films. Sure, you may have to look away a few times due to excessive gore, but anyone can appreciate the plot line and twists of this movie. Put it this way, there is a reason it has had 6 sequels made.
Another great horror film that was the surprise hit of 2009 was paranormal activity. Recorded in the first person point of view, using only a camcorder, this film supposedly had a $15,000 budget and grossed over $100 million. Not too bad huh? The sequel comes out later this year.
While it achieved very little acclaim at the box office, I thoroughly enjoyed Zombieland. Starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, Zombieland came out in 2009 and was both scary and hilarious. Now this is a great movie for someone who does not like horror movies to watch. Woody keeps it funny while the zombies provide enough gore to satisfy horror fans.
The Descent is another movie that may not have necessarily done well at the box office, but still achieved somewhat of a cult following after it was put on DVD. This movie truly made me uncomfortable and combines elements of gore and claustrophobia.
The best horror movie that I have seen in recent memory is Drag Me To Hell. This is a great movie for someone who is not a fan of horror movies to see as well. It is over the top, funny, jump out scary and has a familiar face in Justin Long. It is good to know that Sam Raimi is no longer tied to the dwindling Spider-man franchise, because now he can get back to what he does best; make scary movies.
These are just some of the ones that are currently jumping out at me, but there are certainly more that are worth seeing. This is a good start though.
