Top Ten Horror Films
10.
The Descent
I'm surprised it took me this long to see this film. There was a companion movie that came out around the same year as this called "The Cave" and I saw that when it came out and was very angry that I did. It was horrible. I think my experience made me wait on this one for the long time that I did. I found the acting very good and of course the creatures were creepy and horrifying. I felt actual anger and sadness with everything that happened to the girls while they were in the cave. It was a horror movie with character development. I was surprised.

The House of the Devil
Holy **** was this awesome. It's basically a movie filmed in the mid 2000s that was made to look like a classic slasher flick from the 80s. The whole movie was filmed in a grainy beautiful mess of horror wonder. Okay, that was a bit exaggerated but seriously find this movie and watch it because it will pleasantly surprise you. Did I mention Tom Noonan is in it? And that he's ****ing awesome? Also has one of the best scares I've ever seen. Oh and that leaves us to number 8...

The Innkeepers
...another Ti West movie!!! I love this guy. Seriously. These two films just make me wanna see more and more of his stuff. This one is is just right up my alley. A lot of people will say it's mostly a movie that takes place in an old hotel and that's it but it's more than that. It's a slow brooding character driven ghost story with an intense ending that will seriously give you nightmares. I loved every minute of it.

The Changeling
There are going to be a few more movies on this list that it just took me forever for me to see. I wish I saw this one earlier. It actually scared me! Usually I'm not actually frightened when I see movies but this one creeped me out. Love the performance from George C. Scott. Classic all the way.

[REC]
In my opinion the best found footage film out there besides the Blair Witch Project which defined the genre and was just an interesting piece of filmmaking. This however is the most well done out of the genre and I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't get the annoying feeling after watching somebody fumble around with the video camera and the subtitles didn't get in the way even though it was fast paced. The ending. Oh the ending. One of the creepiest endings in film history and a perfect end to a great film.
