What makes a perfect horror movie? No one formula makes perfect visual scare fests, but horror buffs do appreciate horror movies that come up with pioneering new ways to bring the chills and screams.
Whether it’s slasher horror, zombie horror, folk horror, body horror, or found-footage horror, there have been so many great horror movies that have graced the big screen and given us iconic scenes, creatures, and disturbing images.
There will forever be debates about what makes a perfect horror movie, but here is our list of horror movies that are basically perfect.

To a horror movie lover, The Thing is perfect. To me personally, The Thing is absolutely perfect. To the average KZfaq browser watching a video about what horror movies they should watch, it is perhaps not the best choice. A lot of people can't grasp the brilliance of it, especially kids growing up with CGI effects in every damn thing they see.

@@irina1296 The story structure and the characters of the original are so incredibly bland. The production side of the film is incredible but it is soo far from perfect. The reimagination of the film has so much more substance to it, much better acting, a far better script in which there are actually interesting characters and it is, imo, much better directed. Both scores are absolutely amazing. I really don't know what you're on about the forced feminism. female characters in a film don't make it a forced feminist film, and i hate movies like Ocean's Eight and Ghostbusters (2016) for that reason. it is, in fact, a movie that rejects every modern trend of filmaking and it is a true masterpiece that stands above the original for me.

Kubrick's the Shining sucks...

@JayDillon-mm6yv 4 жыл бұрын

Yep, I agree with that one, I also like the 1963 "The Haunting of Hill House," which I saw at 10 years young. Stephen King knocked it out of the park with that one, and was soo fortunate to get Kubrick for the movie. I know someone who read the book, I didn't read it, but they said it was the most terrifying thing they ever read. I don't know, maybe... anyway the movie did pretty well keeping a lot of the story intact, as I understand it(?) I also like the very simplistic book and film Pet Sematary partly because it was filmed where I live - - about a mile from my house. And we had a cat killed on the road during filming too, as well. Had to bury him one night during the full moon... Seriously. I always thought the cat was killed by one of the people working on the film because they raced up and down this road some.

I've never felt such grotesque disgust and pure brilliant joy from a song without words. Colin Stetson is the musical genius that I listen to now. I felt actual fear when the movie was over.

My first contact with "The Fly" was a reading of it on radio decades ago. Scared me so much that summer flies would send me running. It might have been on either the old Suspense or Inner Sanctum program. That's where I also became acquainted with the living dead. Still remember the footsteps of the murdered husband in the basement coming up the stairs , the door creaking hope, and the screams of the wife and her liver as the see him. Don't know what the name of that one was but those old radio plays were better than TV or movies because you could create the scenery and characters in your mind. Low budget but effective.
