Nothing is more invigorating than a good horror movie. And if it is also based on real events, then the heart goes into agitated heels from the realization that these terrible situations once happened to someone. Are you craving for a real adrenaline rush? There are top 5 horror movies everyone should watch.
Horror films about exorcism and poltergeist
Since ancient times, man has been afraid of otherworldly forces and everything that science cannot explain. The horrors about exorcism and poltergeist are of great interest to the audience.
One good horror to watch is The Conjuring (2013) based on true events, directed by James Wang. The horror film is based on a true story that took place in the small American state of Rhode Island with the Perron family in 1971.
The mother of a large family, Caroline Perron, soon after moving to a new home, began to feel the presence of an evil spirit. The well-known researchers of the paranormal, the wife of Warren, undertook to investigate this case.
Together, the film crew managed to recreate the chilling atmosphere of despair and fear that enveloped not only the Perron house, but also affected the skeptical Lorraine Warren, who was brilliantly played by the charming Vera Farmiga.
A thrilling novelty in the list of horror films about houses inhabited by ghosts and demons was the film "Hysteria" (2018), which was released in Russia in May 2018. In the center of the plot is a teenager Tom, suffering from psychosis after a rash trick, sneak with friends into an empty mansion on the outskirts of the city and film the living ghosts, if they live there.
The trick turns into the death of one of the teenagers, and Tom ends up in a mental hospital. Ironically, the mansion goes to him according to the will of his family, and after treatment, the hero decides to face his fears again one on one.
Reincarnation (2018) is considered an equally scary horror film about poltergeist and demons. The main character Annie's mother dies. Annie's worries over time give way to the fear of losing loved ones, because frightening things begin to happen in the house. It seems that the grandmother did not die at all, but was reborn in Annie's daughter, Charlie.
Horror about violence and human cruelty
Fans of horror with pools of blood and violence will love the movie Get Out (2017) by Jordan Peel, where the romantic line of the African American Chris and the white girl Rose is replaced by pictures of aggression and torture. An intelligent photographer will have to choose: fight for life or love.
If in films about a poltergeist you can steal everything on paranormal phenomena, then in horror films about human cruelty, the real fear is caused by the secrets of the human soul and the reasons that pushed the hero to violence.
Among the top 5 horror films to watch is Snow City (2010) by obscure Australian director Justin Kurzel. Despite the average rating of Kinopoisk of 6 out of 10, the film was noted by critics for its drama and biography and received 5 positive reviews out of 9.
Snow City tells the story of 90s serial killer John Bunting. The film is shown through the eyes of his stepson Jamie, who was subjected to violence and incest. John Bunting himself severely punished pedophiles and other "inferior" people in his opinion, using no less perverse methods. Scissors, shockers and even hydrochloric acid were used.
