     • HAHAHAHA, NOOO, IT’S ABOUT LOVE! xD (it’s one of my favorite movies)
       So, I was in theater with my friend, and there’s moment when one Grey’s ex want to kill herself. Grey told her not to do it bla bla… When noone expect, she fired the gun! And it was so loud that I jumped so high from the seat, I have never been scared like then hahaha.

4. I do not like horror movies, it scares me

5. Good films only for everyone, but I really did not see-congratulations

6. I saw them almost all, I love horror movies. I also like all of the “road to terror” and the descent

   • That’s good Noelia. I agree “the descent” is purely terrifying.

7. I love horror movies. “The Grudge” is one of my favorite Japanese horror movies.

   1

   • I agree but the American remake of “THE GRUDGE” is by far the worst film I have seen in theaters

     1

     • Ju-on was so much better than the remake, which is weird because the Ringu remake was done first and it was okay…

8. I liked the suggestion of the horror movie “Lights Out.” One horror movie I enjoyed was Cissy Spacek’s “Carrie”.

   1

   • I found myself jumping/shouting/screaming a couple of times watching the “lights out” in the movie theater and everyone in the theater also jumping. You should watch this and you’ll be surprised.

9. I agree with most the movies in this list, Drag me to hell is probably the best made horror movie in the past few years for me, one movie I would definitely add is a movie I will NEVER watch again, that is Martyrs, if you haven’t seen this then just know that it will get to you psychologically, if it doesn’t affect you then I’d be seriously worried! Probably the best movie I’ll never watch again!

   • Totally agree about Martyrs! I watched it my sister and we both agreed it was one of the scariest and most disturbing movies we’d seen. I would put martyrs in #20 anyway

    • Thanks for the comment Michelle

12. I’m not much into horror movies, but I may watch some of these for a change. 🙂

    • Yes you should do that Ellie

13. I’ll never understand how can somebody be scared of “A nightmare in elm street”. It’s stupid and hilarious! lol! Generally, old horror movies aren’t scary.

    2

    • The theme music is terrifying & cool at the same time, and the plot aspect that he kills you in your dreams is just really awesome.

      3

      • The idea is good, maybe if it’s made in past 3 years it will be scary.

14. Nice list! My favorites, except HUSH, are Dark Water, Insidious, The Visit, Split, Unfriended, Sinister, The Boy (both movies with the same title), Don’t Breathe, 10 Cloverfield Lane (not counting the worst end ever), Knock Knock, The Ring and Creep.

    2

    • I’ve seen the Dark water, insidious and unfriended a few times. I love Don’t Breathe as well. I’ve done a list like this 4 months ago and Don’t Breathe is one of my top 10 https://virily.com/entertainment/top-10-favorite-horror-movies-2/

          • me too Gina! 🙂 🙂 🙂

15. But I’m with you tonight….Hills Have Eyes, A Nightmare…, The Wolf Creek are my favorite ones too…so good post and good collection altogether!

    1

    • If you haven’t seen the Eden lake and drag me to hell. I would encourage you to do so. Legitimately scary!

      2

      • Ok Gina, I sure will…let the weekend come! And thanks for the advise….

16. My favorite is The Blair Witch Project. I thought it was terrifying. Just the situation they were in, lost in the woods. Their friend is missing and they can hear him screaming, uhg, horrible.
    I’m surprised Poltergeist didn’t make the list. That movie scared me to death when I was little

    2

    • I didn’t find the Blair project to be scary. I was actually bored but I do agree that situation itself is terrifying

      1

    • I’m with Samantha on this. BWP was the best horror film I’ve ever seen, and what’s amazing is how it scared you by not showing you what was going on – something a few bigger-budget movies could learn from 🙂

17. Hmm. Yeah Nice Post! My Favorite Movie is “A nightmare on Elm street” and “Drag me to hell”

    1

    • Thanks for the comment! 🙂 I really hope you make your list! I’m sure I’ll like most of it since it seems we have similar taste!

      1

      • Yeah! Okey, By the way Thanks!!!

18. And I do not like this genre. Everyone has preferences.

    • Thank you for the comment Lacho

19. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of horror movies though that does not mean I’ve never watched that genre at all. The only one on your list I’ve ever seen is A Nightmare on Elm Street. Some other horror movies I’ve seen include Exorcist, The Omen, Stigmata, Constantine, The Rite, and The Devil Inside, others I’ve forgotten the title. Great post, Gina!!!

    • Thank you, Albert. I saw the original Exorcist when i was 12 at the drive-in. Scared the hell out of me. The omen and Constantine are also well made

      • You are always welcome, Gina

20. I do not like horror movies! 🙂 They give me nightmares.

    1

    • They sometimes give me nightmares as well

      2

    • I really love horror movies even though I cover my face at times and often feel scared walking to my car at Night

21. Bye flowers

22. And how could I forget the original Exorcist? I was a teenager when I first saw it and couldn’t get to sleep that night…

    1

    • Hey

    • You are right. The first time I watched the original Exorcist, I was 11 years old. The thing that scared me most in this movie was the short scene cuts where they show the devil, or his face.

23. the First Nightmare on Elm Street was definately the best…I got a big kick out of Friday the 13th Part V, maybe because I was working in a group home when it came out and most of the victims in that film were in a group home. Maybe it’s a generational thing but Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, Frenzy, & Psycho are all in my top 10. thanks for sharing Gina

    • I honestly thought the nightmare on elm street was better than Friday the 13th, but they were both good. I would put the Exorcist in #11
