- DirectorMikael HåfströmStarsJohn CusackSamuel L. JacksonMary McCormackAuthor Michael Enslin, who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences, checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel in New York City, settles in, and soon confronts genuine terror.This movie is simply awesome , it has it all , acting , directing , amazing story ( based of a Stephan King story ) , and a good score.
Only proplem is that it has 2 versions ( with different endings ) ,
a "Theatrical release" , and "Director Cut",I have seen both of em and i can honestly say that the "Theatrical release" version is WAY better.
Even though if you can only find the director cut it is still worth watching ( if you like horror you will definetly like this movie ). - DirectorDavid TwohyStarsBruce GreenwoodDavid CrowMatthew DavisThe crew of a U.S. Navy submarine in World War II rescues survivors from a sunken ship, only to face a series of mysterious deaths and supernatural occurrences.
- DirectorNeil JordanStarsSaoirse RonanGemma ArtertonSam RileyTwo mysterious women seek refuge at a rundown British seaside resort.This is more of a Drama than a horror , that being said it has good scares , terrific acting & direction , the story is a bit weak in a couple of places but the movie still Solid enough for a horror movie .
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsChris MessinaCaroline DhavernasBokeem WoodbineA group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them.The movie is not as scary as the title Suggests , but the movie has a different prespective and an amazing plot .
It might not be the most powerfull of horrors but still totally worth checking out . - DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsLaurence FishburneSam NeillKathleen QuinlanA rescue crew is tasked with investigating the mysterious reappearance of a spaceship that had been lost for seven years.It is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and it is Actually good , Now that add a hole different meaning to scary .
- DirectorFede AlvarezStarsJane LevyShiloh FernandezJessica LucasFive friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods.Now I am not a fan of the original Evil Dead ( I thought the first one was good but the second and third were complete sherades to me ),
but this movie completly brought it for me , the characters were great , the plot was awesome , and it has good scares .
the movie has powerful gore ,so if you don't like gore , I don't recommend that you watch it , also the movie isn't perfect , there is a weakness in it here or there but you wont find it unless your really looking for something to bash this movie for and there I have only one response for you " Haters gonna HATE ". - DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonRose ByrneTy SimpkinsA family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.I have two words to describe that movie ,
"scary" and "different"
Seriously, nothing else to say :D - DirectorMike FlanaganStarsKaren GillanBrenton ThwaitesKatee SackhoffA recently released inmate from a mental asylum learns from his sister that the murders he was convicted of committing were actually orchestrated by a supernatural entity, the Lasser Glass mirror.In a World where original concepts for horror movies is almost non existent this movie stands out .
- DirectorChristian AlvartStarsDennis QuaidBen FosterCam GigandetTwo crew members of a spaceship wake up from hypersleep to discover that all their colleagues are missing. Despite this, it appears that they are not alone.Pandorum is a sci-fi horror , generally I don't like sci-fi horrors because I think they are not as scary as rest of the horrors but Pandorum is a good exception because it is just as scary , I recommend it to those knowing how creepy space could be .
- DirectorOren PeliStarsKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsAfter moving into a suburban home, a couple becomes increasingly disturbed by a nightly demonic presence.I am a paranormal fan especially the first one , this movie started very small practically nowhere and ended up as one of the best horrors worldwide and that is saying something .
PS : you will notice that the 2nd and 4th movies aren't on the list and that is because they are not good enough as the 1rt and 3rd movies - DirectorsHenry JoostAriel SchulmanStarsChloe CsengeryJessica Tyler BrownChristopher Nicholas SmithIn 1988, young sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity called Toby, who resides in their home.Paranormal Activity 3 raised the bar from the rest of the paranormal movies , the story is bigger with more scares , watching it in theatre is an amazing experiance.
If you are going to watch just one of the paranormal movies , I recommend this one . - DirectorMary LambertStarsDale MidkiffDenise CrosbyFred GwynneAfter tragedy strikes, a grieving father discovers an ancient burial ground behind his home with the power to raise the dead.I saw this movie twice once as a kid and 15 years later as an adult and It scared me BOTH times , this movie will surprise you with how scary it could actually get .
The only proplem with the movie is the fact that it's a bit outdated ,
but It would still surprise you and it's definetly Worth checking out . - DirectorJames WanStarsCary ElwesLeigh WhannellDanny GloverTwo men awaken to find themselves on the opposite sides of a dead body, each with specific instructions to kill the other, escape or face the consequences.
