Rent Top 10 Scariest Horror Movies Of Hollywood and other Movies & TV Shows on Blu-ray & DVD.7/31/2017 Top 1. 0 Scariest Movies Of The Last 1. Years. Halloween is almost upon us, a time when the streets fill with costumed kids angling for candy, and the multiplexes clog with scary tales angling for a sequel. And with all things spooky clawing at the collective consciousness, what better time to post Movie- Moron’s top 1. Like this Spanish exercise in quarantine craziness, in which a TV crew go looking for a story in a sealed- off building, only to bite off more than they can chew. Is said redress sought for the kid’s premature, watery demise? Or ahead of time for the tepid Dark Water remake, starring Jennifer Connolly? Answers on a postcard, please. Fairer to judge it on its sterling cast – Dylan Baker, Brian Cox and Anna Paquin amongst them – on the big name producer who lent his backing to the project – Bryan Singer – and oh, on the fact it’s a tightly- woven little chiller too. Martyrs (2. 00. 8)Controversial, to say the least, upon release in its native France, Martyrs begins like torture porn – albeit stylishly done – before heading in a very different direction indeed. An arresting meditation on pain and the purpose of suffering, it remains a source of regret that director Pascal Laugier was unable to bring his revisiting of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser to the screen. A Hollywood remake has since beckoned, yet stubbornly refused to materialise, despite the efforts of first Larry Fessenden and then Mark Pellington. The Descent (2. 00. Confirming the promise director Neil Marshall had displayed with Dog Soldiers, this subterranean shocker was both a genuinely creepy Brit- flick and a confirmed hit. Marshall has had access to bigger budgets since on Doomsday and Centurion, without delivering as effective results. Let the Right One In (2. Blood in the snow is the most obvious example of director Tomas Alfredson’s eye for an image here, his sense of visual style being trailed in this chilly Swedish vampire tale, before having been confirmed by his recent Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. A story of friendship between two young misfits, Alfredson brings a crafted artfulness to the creepy atmospherics. Paranormal Activity (2. Following in the footsteps of Halloween by John Carpenter and The Blair Witch Project by. Two sequels have already followed, with the newest of those currently sitting atop the US box office. Saw (2. 00. 4)Speaking of sequels, this franchise spits . But while the Saw series overall is hard to take seriously, after seven instalments in as many years, it should not be overlooked that this opening salvo delivered some confirmed nastiness, as ingenious killer Jigsaw visits suffering upon the selfish and ungrateful in society. Or here’s another one: can a running zombie ever truly be considered a zombie? Dunno, but zombies or not, . Entirely contemporary, but infused with a sense of genre history (the soon- to- be- a- star Cillian Murphy awakening in an abandoned London, akin to John Wyndham’s Day of the Triffids), 2. Days Later also confirmed that Boyle was well and truly back following the disaster of The Beach. The 25 Scariest Movies of All Time. Good-bye, sleeping through the night. It was fun while it lasted.

This story of an innocent little girl possessed by an evil demon has been captivating audiences since. What doyouthink are the scariest movies of the last decade? Top 1. 0 Best Ghost Movies (Horror Movie List) - With Clips. It is fast approaching that unique portion of the year when all true matters arcane and diabolical are given the festive treatment, as Halloween prompts folks to deploy their broomsticks for something other than sweeping up after the household pet. Although we have recently seen cinematic quotas of the supernatural gobbled up by vampire and zombie flicks, it would be remiss to overlook the genuine chills instilled by the most successful exponents of the ghost movie genre. So here are ten of the scariest ghost movies to put the frighteners on us poor, trembling cinema- goers. Dark Water (2. 00. Leaky plumbing becomes an unlikely source of spine- tingling terror in this J- Horror offering from director Hideo Nakata, the man who had previously attached creepy connotations onto video cassettes and cold- calling in the first two Ringu films. Sharing some narrative ground with his earlier horror hits, Dark Water finds Nakata once again casting a supernatural child as his primary wellspring of unsettlement, as the spirit of Mitsuko (Mirei Oguchi) seeks some redress for her premature demise. The red of Mitsuko’s lost bag and the prevalence of water in the movie both establish a link to Nicholas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now, and the blend served up on this occasion by Nakata was beguiling enough to inspire Hollywood to deliver an unexceptional 2. Jennifer Connolly. The Fog (1. 98. 0)Gar! Me hearties! Spectral seadogs resurface to wreak vengeance upon the small coastal town of Antonio Bay, as Jamie Lee Curtis collaborates with director John Carpenter on a more expansive chiller than their earlier Halloween. The Fog sees Curtis cast alongside her mother, Janet Leigh, and although the shock ending of Carpenter’s movie is certainly not up to Psycho standard, the enveloping mist of the title provides an effectively eerie shroud under which the succession of revenge killings can be enacted. And, as ever with horror aficionado Carpenter, there some teasing little genre nods too – such as a twosome of characters turning up bearing tributary monikers to Robert Fuests’s Abominable Dr. Phibes and Great God Pan writer Arthur Machen. The Devil’s Backbone (2. Better known for the bizarre, tactile mutant bodies that inhabited his Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy movies, The Devil’s Backbone saw Guillermo del Toro adopting a rather less- outr. Death looms large over the film’s scenario, with the Spanish Civil War- era action taking place in an orphanage in which roams the restless spirit of deceased young resident Santi (Junio Valverde). A sense of unease stalks The Devil’s Backbone throughout, as the darkest facets of human behaviour overshadow Santi’s baleful haunting – although del Toro himself might have felt like he was the one coming back from the dead, as he fully grasped the opportunity to rebuild following the production difficulties and poor reception of Mimic. Poltergeist (1. 98. And we reach the first haunted house movie of the list. Tempted as I was to include The Legend of Hell House (which sees the astral presence of Michael Gough’s devilish Emeric Belasco spreading misery as an expression of the resentment he harboured about his titchy little legs), I decided to plump for this successful collaboration between writer- producer Steven Spielberg and director Tobe Hooper. The sense of wonder one has come to typically associate with The Beard’s output is given a darker tint here, with Carol Anne Freeling (Heather O’Rourke) being ripped away from her family and subsumed by the static of the television set. Meanwhile, Texas Chainsaw Massacre helmer Hooper keeps the schlock coming; as evinced by Martin Casella’s psychic researcher clawing his own face to shreds, and some slightly bathetic final revelations about a defiled burial ground. The Haunting (1. 96. Blimey, wait for one haunted house movie and then a pair of the blighters show up at once. What are the odds? Well, probably significantly better than finding someone who prefers the Jan de Bont- directed remake of The Haunting to the 1. Coming as it did between his work on West Side Story and The Sound of Music, The Haunting perhaps represents a slightly unlikely interjection in the production schedule of the period for its director Robert Wise. However Wise brings the kind of intelligence to proceedings that you might expect from the man who cut Citizen Kane, delivering a disquieting thriller that is high on aesthetic quality and psychological sophistication. Top 1. 0 Scariest Doll Horror Films. Horror has never been shy about putting the fear of evil into small playful objects. In our latest list we’ve compiled what we feel is the best of these creepy (and often “stay with you long after” type) films that have used the theme of evil and dolls in a most horrific way. The list was completed when the character of “Annabelle” came onto the market by not only keeping the horror dolls trend effective, but managing to pull it off quite well. In research, I must say that there are actually quite a bit more than 1. Those who want to comment and contribute, we’ll make sure to add them as “special mentions” below. We also took the liberty of adding 1 film which really was more about mannequins than dolls, (again semantics that we choose to ignore) as the entry was too good to leave off. Hopefully this list offers more than just a re- hash of everything else you’ve read about scary dolls. In the very least, you should walk away with 1 or 2 recommended films to check out.(not in ranking order)1- The Conjuring (2. Annabelle)A impressively effective horror film in its own right, The Conjuring was the induction of one of the creepiest doll films of all time, namely “Annabelle”, an evil possessed doll which carried alot of baggage along with it. The film teetered between the evil possessed doll and evil sprites calling in a husband and wife team to help rid a residence in need of the rogue spirit removal. The doll itself was seized and quarantined to a glass case of which it still today (the real doll this movie was based on was a raggedy Ann doll). The prop doll used was indeed creepy on its own adding an extra “get under your skin” flair to the production. This was the first film leading up to the 2. Annabelle (a prequel). Dead Silence (2. 00. Billy. A great scary doll horror film directed by James Wan (of SAW fame). The focal doll “Billy” bares a resemblance to “Fats” from the movie “Magic” while still standing on its own as a worthy inclusion. Mary Shaw (as the prime villain of this film) was obsessed with dolls and creating the perfect ventriloquist dummy. She becomes the the prime subject of a dark poem that haunted the town of Ravens Fair, the location this story is set in.“Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. If you see her in your dreams, make sure you never ever scream, or she’ll cut your tongue out at the seam”Billy made his appearance in the film’s first opening scene planting a chilling introduction to the horror that awaits. The movie Dead Silence had plenty of ventriloquist dolls aimed to send shivers, but it was Billy that remained the focal doll of this film. The movie received mix reviews despite being down- right creepy and still effective in its unique toned presentation. Ventriloquist doll Billy will forever remain the prime image of this film’s posters and DVD art. Magic (1. 97. 8) – Fats. Magic (1. 97. 8) was an early iconic horror film that introduced us to the acting talents of Anthony Hopkins. Anyone who was around in the 8. Fats who graced the film’s movie posters. For quite a long time Fats was relatively unchallenged in the department of “effectively creepy dolls”. He never lost his appeal, though years later now shares the horror spotlight with several new contenders. Regardless,Fats lives on and will always make the cut in “doll horror” best- of lists. Poltergeist (1. 98. Scary clown doll. When the subject of “scary clown” or “dolls” comes up, there is always someone in the room that proclaims “ya the scary clown doll from Poltergeist freaked me out”. However, it was the scary clown doll that left a permanent mark upon our psyches. Word to the wise. You’re just asking for trouble AND it makes for quite the restful paranoid- sleep experience. It was 1. 98. 2 which marked the year that less of us wanted to look under the bed when we heard a noise at night. Child’s Play (1. 98. Chucky. Chucky is one of horror’s most well known horror icons. The rather extensive franchise that followed created an cult following after its main character. Possessed by this evil spirit, Chucky becomes active and animated culminating in a murderous slasher- style rampage. The plights of Chucky often cross over into the dark humor end of things, but for horror fans Chucky has indeed become a mainstay as one of the scariest dolls of all time. Child’s Play transformed into a franchise that spawned 5 sequels later taking on the name of its iconic character. Like the villain Freddy Krueger, Chucky became more absurd as his legacy grew. SAW (2. 00. 4)– Jigsaw (writer’s name – “Billy”)Saw, has us duped from the start with a mysterious evil doll by the name of jigsaw that would appear to captives per way of a recorded video. The doll of course became known as just a decoy prop for the real Jigsaw mastermind “The Jigsaw Killer” played by actor Tobin Bell. However, this goofy looking doll was forever attached tot he series as its most iconic image that even today is still seen as a popular item during Halloween season. A trivia item: the term Jigsaw was given to the killer himself by the media for his practice of cutting puzzle piece shapes of flesh from those who failed his tests. The doll itself began to receive less screen time as the actor Tobin Bell was pushed into the spotlight. The Jigsaw doll was and still is among the top scary dolls of all time. Note: The actual doll name was never identified in the films. Trilogy of Terror (1. Zuni Doll. I hear about the famed creepy “Zuni Doll” more than any on this list. The film starred actress Karen Black in the film’s anthology design. The 3rd short film of trilogy was called “Amelia” using a Zuni fetish doll as its main antagonist. The doll was most remembered for its aggressive appearance that featured razor sharp teeth and a spear. This Zuni doll quickly becomes the main terror to this episode as its possessed spirit inflicts terror upon Amelia. The film originated in the 7. The memory of this creepy doll is often kept alive in conversations where older generations still to this day remember how the doll impacted them. I had purchased the “Making Contact” film back when it was on the market for a short while before it disappeared (again). The film was originally called “Joey” and was one of those films that had a brief run on late night HBO. Making Contact is a West Germany production, which meant that you had to deal with overdubs and subtitles. However, none- the- less it is an interesting film. An evil talking dummy named Fletcher begins to make life hard for Joey who realizes that he has certain psychic powers. Fletcher gets empowered by a demon causing quite a supernatural stir. Joey has to venture over into the spiritual world to do battle. The movie itself was hit or miss. However per the comments still churning out today, it was a pretty effective scary doll film. Tourist Trap (1. 97. Technically mannequins, this film has so many mannequin “doll- ish” moments using inanimate objects that it had to be on this list due to pure intensity. The core of this film rests on actor Chuck Connors who is a loner psychopath with telekinetic powers operating an off road tourist stop. This gets a bit “confused” as we experience creepy mannequins and dolls coming to life terrorizing a young group of friends. For a 7. 0’s film, this is easily among my favorites and still to this day an effective and weird experience to sit through. I highly recommend it. If you feel Tourist Trap is not doll- ish enough to be on this list. The film not only makes the scary doll list, but is also one of the scariest films of 2. Annabelle is possessed by a satanic murdering cult member who dies as she is holding the doll. The doll becomes a portal host for the evil spirit of the deceased maniac. Hell, any doll that is thrown into the garbage and mysteriously shows back up on your shelf is a reason to pack it up and leave. Annabelle is a must- see film directed by John R. The film is surely an indication that “The Conjuring” franchise is indeed becoming a go- to horror experience. While we don’t want to spoil the fun, Brahms is horror’s latest creepy doll setting the tone and foundation for this 2. The film itself is a pretty interesting take worth the watch, check it out! Special Mentions: Black Devil Doll from Hell (1. Blood Dolls (1. 99. Death Doll (1. 98. Demonic Toys (1. 99. Devil Doll (1. 96. Doll Graveyard (2. Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1. Dolls (1. 98. 7)Dolly Dearest (1. Franchise: Child’s Play / Chucky films. Franchise: Puppet Master. Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong (2. 01. Pinocchio’s Revenge (1. The Pit (1. 98. 1).
