List of Hollywood Horror movies 2
|
Hi frnds,
Already i have given you some list of hollywood horror movies, now i am adding some more to that.
1)Godfather - Should we talk about Francis Ford Coppola or Marlon Brando or Al Pacino or Mario Puzo. Filmmakers all over the world have paid tributes to the 1972 original by scripting their own, but the sheen never even reached miles close to that of the original. Watch this for the drama and crime. Also feat. the beautiful star of yesteryears, Diane Keaton. And if you think this hasn’t satiated your senses, check out the sequels too. Top rated movie of the century. Crime will never be the same again.
2)Saw - Excellent movie. Watch all the four parts. I guess a serial killer can never get better than jig-saw. Very gross and very bloody. Now there is a real autopsying scene in Saw 3 which isn’t for the faintest of the hearts or the weakest of the stomachs. It will churn the contents from inside out. I rate this as the goriest movie\sequels of all times. And a good news for all you horror aficionados. The next two installments are gonna be coming soon.
3)The Ring - I haven’t seen the Japanese original. But this itself was freaky to a certain extent. At certain places it makes you jump over your seat. Watch this when you are alone. And the sequel is chillingly good too. You watch a video and you finish it when you get a call. A few minutes later you are dead. Now follow Naomi watts into the entwined mystery of Samara and the ring. But the original ring was said to be one of the most frightening movies ever made.
4)The shutter(thai) - I have never known that the movies from far east are so chilling and frightening until I saw this. Superb tale of love, rejection, murder and horror and finally vengeance. The language is thai, but the dvd comes with subtitles. And don’t miss the ending.
5)Seven - A deranged serial killer Kevin spacey kills one each for the seven sins. Now the last of the seventh sin has been committed and what will detective Mills, played by Brad Pitt do to stop it? Or rather...... One of the finest and darkest movies I have ever seen.
6)Identity - I wouldn’t call this horror or gore, though there are certain scenes like a man sitting dead on a chair with a baseball bat driven wide into his mouth. But this is the mother of all psychological thrillers of our time. I guess the best movie ever on split personality\alter ego and phenomenal performance by John Cussack. Another good one on the similar lines is “Session 9”
7)Last house on the left - The first and finest of Wes Craven. A chilling tale of revenge when two guys seek shelter in the last house on the left only to be tortured and killed by the owner and his wife as an act of revenge for raping and killing their daughter.
8)American Psycho - The best acting by Christian Bale (after his acting in Equilibrium). Too good a slasher and a psycho movie that you can’t afford to miss this. And believe me. This gory flick was written and directed by Mary Harron, yes a female.
9)Texas chainsaw massacre - Be it the Tobe Hooper’s original or the remake, both of them are equally chilling and gory. Watch the remake for the colour effects and the epilogue which shows a documentary kinda video almost making the story seem real. Ofcourse inspired by serial killer Ed Gein comes the sleazy ‘Leather Face’. In short, this guy kills women and skins them to stitch a mask for his disfigured face. The scene where he lifts a guy and hangs him to the hook when the guy suffers in pain is one of the most chilling scenes ever.
10)Hostel - Eli Roth’s macabre epic. The film has the worst moments of torture ever. Be it Jay Hernandez plucking off the half hanging eyeball from a girl and then some fluid oozes out (yuck) or be it the way in which they dispose the human parts, or even worse, the Slovakian kids hitting and killing a man by smashing his head with stones for some chocolates, gore to the core.
11)Suspiria - One of my favourites and Dario Argento’s best horror movie. This is about a girl who joins a college only to find that it’s run by witches. Revealing anything other than the tagline will remove the sheen, the tagline of which says, “The only thing more terrifying than the Last 12 minutes of this film are the first 92”. Another highlight of the film is the creepy music composed by Argento himself and the band Goblin.
12)Tenebrae - If you thought about super sports cars, beautiful women, great food and finest architecture, then you are thinking Italy. And here comes the god of serial killer movies. The only drawback, the language is Italian. Rumored to be based on Dario Argento’s real life incident when he was stalked, this is serial killer at his best. And the basic idea of this movie was stolen in other serial killer movies like seven, bone collector etc.
13)Fallen - Detective John Hobbes captures serial killer Edgar Reese and he’s executed too. But after his death start killings again with the same pattern. Reese seemingly killed people under the influence of the demonic possession by Azazel, who can move from one body to another just by a simple touch. I guess the five minute sequence of body hopping sneering Hobbes is just too awesome to be described in words. Whether evil wins over good forms the rest of the story. Denzel Washington as John Hobbes impresses after his acclaimed performance in Bone Collector.
14)Anatomie - This is a German film. But do watch it with the subtitles. A young medical student joins a hospital as an anatomist only to find that she’s amidst a brotherhood that conducts anatomies on live specimens. Pure slasher horror from Germany.
Check out and have fun
