List of Hollywood Horror movies
|
Hi Friends,
Here I give you the list of horror and slasher flicks. Most of these movies are made in 1980's which is considered to be THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF HORROR OR SLASHER FLICKS.
1)Silence of the lambs - Antony Hopkins in the greatest crime movie ever. Based on the novel by Thomas Harris, the transsexual Buffalo Bill is inspired by American's most famous serial killers Ted Bundy,Ed Gein(who also inspired Texas chain saw massarce).
2)Psycho - Antony Perkins in this slasher flick kills people based on his dead mom's directions (he still thinks his mom is alive) watch part-1 and 2. Hold your breath, you can't afford to miss the shower stabbing scene with spine chilling screeching score by Ber nard Herrmann.
3)Exorcist - Based on the book by William Peter Blatty feat. The famous 'spider walk' and other scenea like the Regan shouting making this movie interesting horror movies ever to watch. I really don't know how horrifying it would have been in 1973 when it was released.
4)The Omen - Harvey Stephen's outstanding performance as the devil's child Damien is the predecessor to all those child based horror and slasher flcks. While the background score itself haunts your memories,the kills themselves are chillingly frightening. Think about a cross being flung from the top of a spire or the baby sitter hanging herself from the window, I guess this is classic horror at its best.
5)Evil dead (only part-1) - This was the first movie by Sam Raimi (director of Spiderman trilogy) and finest movies in the world of horror. Though the movie drew criticism for its extreme graphic gore and horror content,I guess this is the perfect horror movie of the century which is based on ambience or milieu. Watch it when you are all alone with lights turned off.
6)The Shinning - Stephen King's adaptation and Stanley Kubrick's finest directorial with the acting of the millennium by Jack Nichloson. Particularly Danny Lloyd shouting REDRUM and Jack Torrence typing "aa work and no play make jack a dull boy" will freak you out.
7)Halloween - Both the films, by John Carpenter (1982) and by Rob Zombie (2007) are extremely good for an average slasher fan. But Rob Zombie's flicks makes Mike Myers even more psychopathic with the zoo sadiam tendencies shown in his childhood. With his penchant for masks, Mike Myers is a better Killing machine than before.
8) Friday the 13th - Who wouldn't have read about Jason and his manchete and the hockey mask? Thoudh there are many sequels, a handful of them are very good.
9)A nightmare om Elm Streer - Wes Carven's beauty.You are stalked in your dreams and you wake up to find it all for real. Whatelse can be more chilling? Just like Friday the 13th, many sequels have followed the original, but a few of them are good. There is one movie when both the antagonists fight with one another called, "Freddy vs Jason".
10)Pulp Fiction - Watch this for Travolta and Uma Thurman. Watch this for Quentin Tarantino's directing styli. Watch this to know what America was in late 80's andearly 90's. Watch this because this is one of the greatest movies on crime and pop culture ever directed.
11)Kill-Bill 1 and 2 - Tarantno's revenge sequels. A former assassin's husband is shot dead infront of her at wedding time in a church. Now the bride craves for vengenance. This movie is so special, for it has Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen and above all David Carradine. Some billion gallons of artificial blood was used in part-1 which features one of the finest soundtracks of revenge "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei and the Pai Mei's Five point heart exploading technique in part-2 is an inspiration from Dim Mak of the far east and the Varma kalai or Varma ati of kerala.
The list is not finished, these are only few, i will post some more reviews keep watching :)
