The 20 Best Horror Movies
Here is a list of—in more or less ascending order of quality—the best horror films ever made. Not scary thrillers or tense action, but the stories that creep that disturb on a thoughtful level. These are not the scariest, goriest, or the most squirm inducing films. They have something to communicate. They want you to think about things that are important to think about. That does not mean that what they have to say is always right, but they are making an attempt.

Signs scared the bejeebes out of me - the first time you see the alien from an alley...whew! But I loved, loved, loved how several threads all wove together in the end as Mel regained his faith that nothing is by accident. We just have to wait till the right time to see how it fits together.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is all the more sad that he hasn't been able to make any good movies in the past few years. (I mean M. Night.) He has a lot of talent. Maybe he simply told all the good ones he had in him.
