- DirectorTakashi ShimizuStarsSarah Michelle GellarJason BehrClea DuVallAn American nurse living and working in Tokyo is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse, one that locks a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and spreading to another victim.A decent remake of the original Japanese movie. It's your basic ghost movie, but the scares were set-up expertly and the ghosts were wonderfully designed. You think you can safely hide under your covers, but this movie shows you otherwise.
- DirectorDavid JungStarsShane JohnsonElla AndersonCara PifkoAfter poor advice from a psychic leads to the death of his wife, a man vows to disprove the existence of the paranormal by allowing himself to be possessed by demons.The definitive possession movie maybe since The Exorcist. Same premise as other possession movies, but was portrayed wonderfully. From the occasional jump scares, to the intense yet chilling ambiance. This movie is the salvation of this sub-genre.
- DirectorOren PeliStarsKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsAfter moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.Popularized the found footage style more than its Blair Witch predecessor. It offered a new taste in my horror movie pallet. I never knew the sound of footsteps could be so unsettling until this movie. Unfortunately, they made like 5 more sequels: all of which were not as good as the first (well maybe the second was just as good).
- DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsChad Michael MurrayParis HiltonElisha CuthbertA group of teens are unwittingly stranded near a strange wax museum and soon must fight to survive and keep from becoming the next exhibit.It's your typical slasher film. Most of the actors were disposable (as expected), but the plot was actually quite good. This film also offers some good scares and thrilling moments. Worth a watch!
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonRose ByrneTy SimpkinsA family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.In my opinion, an above average ghost movie. It does not just replay the same premise as other ghost movies (etc. family moves into a haunted house). This movie has a fairly interesting premise and displays some very good scares. The end scene had me shook that night.
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.Who would ever play a game like hide-and-go clap after watching this movie?
- StarsRichard ThomasTim ReidAnnette O'TooleIn 1960, seven pre-teen outcasts fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the demon once and for all when it returns to their hometown.I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of Stephen King's works, but I am quite familiar with them. This movie in particular was very interesting; it's a tad too long, but interesting. I really enjoyed learning about the lore and story in general. The scares were there, but was overshadowed by the plot and characters.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNaomi WattsMartin HendersonBrian CoxA journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.A remake of a Japanese classic. I literally couldn't even look at another VHS tape after seeing this movie; granted, I was like 12 when I watched this...
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsBruce WillisHaley Joel OsmentToni ColletteMalcolm Crowe, a child psychologist, starts treating a young boy, Cole, who encounters dead people and convinces him to help them. In turn, Cole helps Malcolm reconcile with his estranged wife.The movie that even when people who didn't watch it, knew the plot twist. This is a ghost movie classic and it still holds up to today. Also a vital movie to watch if you're a horror fan.
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.The number 1 movie on most horror movie lists.The best thing about this movie was the actress who played the little girl getting possessed.
- DirectorJennifer KentStarsEssie DavisNoah WisemanDaniel HenshallA single mother and her child fall into a deep well of paranoia when an eerie children's book titled "Mister Babadook" manifests in their home.If it's in a word, or in a look, you can't get rid of...
