since halloween is over, here are some horror movies that you should’ve watched
- Halloween. a classic. seriously, everyone needs to see this. no questions.
- The Hills Have Eyes. it’s not as scary as it is creepy. the storyline could be clearer and the acting could definitely be better, but what can you do? it’s from 1977; give it a break.
- A Nightmare on Elm Street. one of my favorite movies ever. you have 1) young Johnny Depp, 2) a crazy dream murderer guy, and 3) the iconic orange and green sweater. the storyline is interesting, but your understanding of the movie isn’t dependent on being super focused throughout the entire movie. (if you get up and get a snack, you won’t feel like you missed too much).
- Friday the 13th. there is an entire series of Friday the 13th’s, any one of those movies will be just fine. the first movie does not have good acting and the overall theme of the movie reeks of “classic horror.” if you’re in the mood for mindless killing, check this out.
- Jigsaw. yikes, this was weird. the killer basically lets his victims go through an obstacle course of death. it’s gross and gory, but sometimes that’s what you’re looking for in a horror movie.
- The New Daughter. this has a really good story and it’s super interesting to watch. it’s not as scary as you would expect it to be, just creepy and interesting.
- Hush. this has such an original story, and i really haven’t found another movie like it before. the killer and victim relationship is really unique, and there’s really nothing like it. there’s also some gory parts, so it automatically improves the horror aspect of the movie.
- Scream. i love this movie so much. it’s just really good, and i don’t know how else to explain it. good watch.
- The Amityville Horror. specifically, the 1979 one. there’s lots of slow parts in this movie so just be aware of that. the acting isn’t good, but it’s a must watch movie. plus, the dad reminds me of a werewolf, so that’s cool.
