Hi everyone, I'm going to provide you with what
I believe are the top 5 films to watch when having a horror themed DVD night
in. However, I advise you to have someone close by to hold your hand and to
spill your popcorn on!
1. Insidious, 2010 - Undoubtedly the scariest film I've ever watched, simply for the
fact that the number of jumpy scenes in the movie nearly gave me a heart
attack! The plot revolves around Renai and Josh Lambert who have moved their
children into a new house where some creepy things begin to take place. One of
their sons falls victim to demons and ends up in a long and eerie coma. Overall
the storyline does become a bit farfetched but the sheer fear that the film
provides makes it worth the watch!
2. Paranormal
Activity, 2007 - An extremely terrifying film that
is sure to have you jumping off your seat many times. The film centres around
Katie and Micah, a young couple who live in a house occupied by a supernatural
presence. They decide to set up their home video camera in their bedroom at
night so they can catch any activity that happens whilst they sleep. What they
discover on the tape scares them to death...literally!
3. Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, 1974 - Everyone has heard of this horror
classic set around the chilling character of Leatherface and his family of
cannibals. What makes films like this one even more creepy is the fact they
were inspired by real life killers, and in this case it was the infamous serial
killer Ed Gein. In the movie we see brother and sister Sally and Franklin Hardesty
travel to their grandfather's grave amidst reports of grave robbing, however
they find themselves in a gruesome situation that they could never have
imagined!
4. Halloween, 1978 - Probably one of the most influential and famous horror films of
our time. We all know the story of how Michael Myers murdered his older sister
when he was just six years old and ends up escaping from a mental institution
15 years later to embark on a killing spree in his old hometown. This film will
forever remain a classic and will always be as scary as the first time you
watched it!
5. Scream, 1996 - I had to include a somewhat more "light hearted" horror
flick into the lineup for you, and Scream definitely fits the bill. One
of the most famous slasher films out there and of course most recognizable
thanks to the killers' famous murderous phone calls and question "What's
your favourite scary movie?" Follow Ghostface as he begins murdering
unsuspecting teenagers in the town of Woodsboro and find out why he harbours a
special obsession with Sidney Prescott. Also influenced by the real life
killings of the Gainesville Ripper, which obviously makes it far more
frightening!
