Scene to watch with the lights on: A night in the woods full of tent shaking and lots of screaming leads to a morning where one character discovers a nice gift-wrap of anatomy no longer attached to its person. and that changed the way Hollywood goes about making the things that scare us. (Also, we know it's all fiction at this point.) But Blair Witch came out in 1999, when the Internet was in its infancy and could be used as a tool to successfully convince audiences that maybe the story of a three-person documentary crew going snipe hunting for what turns out to be pure evil is in fact real.īlame the gift/curse of the shaky cam on this movie, but give it credit for delivering scares in such a way that changed the way we like to be scared. Some of its then-inspired choices in the realm of 'is it or isn't real' seem dated and obvious now, given the fact that the Internet seemingly sets out to reveal spoilers that surround projects like this.

The movie that gave birth to the widespread 'horror movie as faux-documentary' trend and that inspired such films as Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project is quite an effective scare fest in retrospect. Directors: Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez.See more of the best vampire movies of all time. Scene to watch with the lights on: Count Orlok’s last hurrah as he approaches a beautiful, sleeping victim is an oft-imitated and, almost 100 years later, still very creepy moment. Indeed, the horror genre is still using the language that Murnau helped invent with Nosferatu, and his film feels as deliriously creepy today as it ever did. Max Schreck’s performance as the Count is so bizarre and hypnotic that, years later, he stills ranks as one of the most iconic horror monsters. Murnau seems to have a queasy fixation on Orlok and his eery appetites, and his movie paints them out with thick shadows and grotesque imagery.

Murnau’s shameless rip-off of Bram Stoker’s Dracula does away with the sensuality that many associate with the undead monster, revealing the vampire to be a sad and rat-like creature, tormented by isolation and completely wrong for the modern world.

Stars: Max Shcreck, Alexander Granach, Gustav von WangenheimĬount Orlok is moving to Germany, and he’s bringing pestilence and shadows with him.

And that's when the guy with the ghost-faced mask shows up.

Watching a high school girl (Drew Barrymore) get a series of increasingly ominous phone calls, we (and she) begin to realize just how vulnerable she is. Scene to watch with the lights on: Scream's opening scene is incredibly strong and scary, instantly grabbing the audience by the throat. A movie that set out to simultaneously make the audience laugh, cheer and yes, scream, Scream deserves a lot of credit for pulling off all these elements so well. But no one was more knowledgeable than the killer (or is that killers?), who toyed with the victims by asking them horror movie trivia that plenty of us in the audience could have fun playing along with.īut when the killer actually showed himself, it was terrifying, with several extremely well-executed suspense scenes by Craven, which proved again just how good he was with this sort of material. Williamson's script managed to deftly be so many things - it was a sly meta/self-parody about the horror genre that didn't cross the line into goofiness, while also playing as a successful whodunit and, most importantly, an effective horror film in and of itself.įinally a group of horror movie characters made it clear that yes, they'd seen all the same movies we had, and were aware of the rules and clichés that come with the genre. Stars: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquetteīoth director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson have plenty of successes in their career, but Scream remains a big highlight for both men.
