  • For the horror genre more than any other, its staples seem inarguable. The classics are almost MORE classic than classic. So instead of rehashing the same, tired praise or just straight up pretending some more obscure movies are better than the faces on Horror's Mt. Rushmore, we're creating our alternate-universe best list. Here are the 5 best horror movies of all time (if the REAL 5 best didn't exist!)
    The Picks
    Slasher (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) - Blood and Black LaceSci Fi (Alien) - The DescentSerial Killer (The Silence of the Lambs) - Henry: Portrait of a Serial KillerAtmospheric (The Shining) - The InnocentsClassic Thriller (Psycho) - Peeping Tom

      Some honorable mentions and maybe more modern recommendations of mine: "Prisoners" could have replaced Silence of the Lambs. "hills have eyes (2006) I think is wildly underrated and the 3rd act is extremely satisfying. "Funny games" both american and original are extremely unsettling. And..."the decent", I know it's already on the list but damn that'a a good movie. Even inspired the most recent Tomb Raider reboot.

      It is the best. The music, the ambiance, the concept, the nuanced characters, the paranoia and the gravitas of saving the world first maybe yourself. I wonder if the power of the story comes from the unlikely flawed slacker anti-hero of MacReady( mr. ready for anything? ) who takes up the call to something bigger than himself and sacrifices in a christian allegory to maybe save the world. And the ending is soo fucking badass. Normal audiences must have been screaming WHAT at the credit roll. You can't end like that..
      The sequel and makers of didn't get why it was good and made your cookie cutter slasher pic. Hell they didn't even understand how the Thing creature actually functioned ffs.

  • @artichoke873
    @artichoke873 5 років тому +8

    Hello there, one year later.
    This list is great! Truly! But there are some honorable mentions that deserve...mentioning.
    -Slashers: The Town That Dreaded Sundown (really either one), Behind the Mask, and a couple of B&E themed flicks like The Strangers and You're next.
    -Serial Killers: I'm gonna throw in a nod to Suspect Zer0, it breaks down what the serial killer genre is and really gets existential...plus Ben Kingsley.
    -Atmospheric: The nail was definitely hit on the head here with The Innocents, but I'd also like to shoutout Crimson Peak and 1964's Witchcraft. Especially in the latter, the creeping sense of something lurking steadily towards the main characters cements their impending doom on the horizon. Plus, even for 1964, Witchcraft is downright nightmare fuel in places.
    Now I know some of these are pretty recent, but I'm of the mind that the Horror genre is nowhere near dead... or undead for that matter. So for a list that is over a year old now this is pretty spot-on. And while nobody will probably ever read this comment, if you haven't seen any films mentioned here please find a way to. They are all excellent in their own way.

      At the same time, in replacing them with these "reasonable facsimiles" might be the point to give some loyal viewers and movie-discussion types something else to look for... Something they haven't necessarily seen yet, or at least something they haven't watched to death on TNT...
      There's also room for next year's Halloween, when some hallowed weenies can gang up with Cinefix and bring to light a selection of great "horror films" that might actually stand on their own merits... but with the lack of true originality in the general movie industry, it might take a while... lolz... :o)

  • @gabrielledebourg2487
    @gabrielledebourg2487 6 років тому +43

    Good list! Really interesting take - because the genre really has these tentpeices.
    The Descent was a brilliant fit. It is such a wonderful horror film and a great alternative to alien.
    Though with Silence of the Lambs gone it would hopefully make people rediscover the masterpiece that is Manhunter. It is chilling, suspenseful and dripping with mood. While Henry and Lambs have more in common in their visual style, Manhunter is too often overlooked.
    And with The Shining gone, would we still allow The Haunting to exist? That would also make a rather lovely substitute for a chillingly great ghost story!
    And while not as much a proto-slasher (showing up during it's hey-day), but Argento's Tenebre makes for a lovely slasher-substitute, complete with much of what makes both the genre and giallo stand out, with murders that almost look like art installations!
    Plus with the loss of my favorite horror movie The Thing, would that mean that The Fly would be the crowned king of Body Horror? Or would something else take it's place?

    • @gabrielledebourg2487
      @gabrielledebourg2487 6 років тому +2

      Hellraiser is good, but it's much more religious horror when it comes to the body horror aspect, while The Thing is more sci-fi. But a good pick none-the-less. If Hellraiser would be allowed of course…

    • @gnarthdarkanen7464
      @gnarthdarkanen7464 6 років тому

      Not so sure on "The Fly"... Would that be the Vincent Price original, or the Jeff Goldblum remake???
      While normally, I might vote down a remake on the general principle that they usually suck, the key word is still "usually"... And in the case of "The Fly", there's still plenty to validate either one of them... Technology was sorely lacking for the original in the "hey-day" of Vincent Price, but (especially in its time) it was truly remarkable... Price and the rest of the cast did plenty to make up for a lack of special effects pallet to dip into...
      On the other hand, Goldblum always held a certain "aura" about him of being a not-so-bad guy even in his most villainous roles... His descent into monster-dom was as much a case for empathic as it was sympathetic, and while he enjoyed a far greater power and technology in special (as well as practical) effects, the cast offered no less of themselves to the fulfillment of the story...
      Maybe I might caution away from either in this case, not for a lack of luster in either movie, but for the chance to leave them to an ongoing and better to themselves discussion... More something of "is progress really progressive"... And stick to Cinefix's original citation for the spot. of course... they might've been so inclined all along... :o)

    • @gabrielledebourg2487
      @gabrielledebourg2487 6 років тому

      The Jeff Goldblum remake was the one I was thinking about, as The Thing itself was a remake and disqualified as it's most certainly too classic, maybe The Fly would have taken it's place? Both have groundbreaking special effects and are the apex of 80s body horror and remakes of horror classic from the 1950s.

    • @wunderdoggy
      @wunderdoggy 6 років тому

    This was a really interesting way to go about the video! I hope you will do more like it in the future. That being said, I would choose The Exorcist for the top five personally. Silence of the Lambs and Psycho fill very similar niches, I think - the difference is in the involvement of authority and Silence really treads the line between a horror and crime thriller in the first place.

In some ways I consider Inglorious Basterds a horror film. So I think SofL counts and Seven doesn't(at least I think we only see the victims in the aftermath and they are all dead except 1?)

One of the biggest problems with such lists are these definitions that distinguish/separate ‘horror’ films from everything else. ‘Horror’ is not so solitary. ‘Horror,’ here, is simply a marketing device. See in books and/or films, ‘The Heart of Darkness,’ or, ‘Moby Dick,’ or ‘Lolita,’ or, ‘A Christmas Carol,’ on just what it is we try to ignore and ‘toss down the oubliette’ (the real and true horror is the daily attempt to make it magically vanish, or become some other alien world, disconnected from our own, merely because we say so).
