This time not only tested the amount of reading films, but also tested everyone's courage. You ready? Start!
NO.10
Night Fear (2008)
Nearly 20,000 people on Douban commented, with a score of 8.0
Country of Production: France
Language: French
Better than 79% cartoon and better than 97% horror
Although there are not many people who score "Night Fear", it is better than 97% of horror films, is this data scary enough?
It's an animated film that tells five short stories, but each one is terrifying and unexpected!
The first story tells that the man Xiaoshuai is wandering the street with four vicious dogs, and every time he lets go of a vicious dog, an innocent person in this world will die. But what happens to him when he lets go of the last vicious dog and things turn around?
The second story is about a young boy who is obsessed with collecting insects, and when he becomes an adult, he meets a beautiful woman, and the two fall in love at first sight, so they live together. But as time passed, the woman's body slowly underwent creepy changes, and her attitude towards men became extremely distorted.
Story 3 takes place in Japan, a young girl who was bullied at school, and her family lives behind the grave of the samurai. The samurai's terrifying tales haunt the girl, and the rampant ghosts and bone-chilling horrors seem to be dreams, but they intersect with reality.
There are still two stories left, so I won't spoil them yet.
This animated movie, the style of painting is extremely concise, and bizarre, there is a lot of room for imagination, and it is worth watching.
NO.9
Death (2007)
Nearly 300,000 people on Douban commented, with a score of 7.9
Country of Production: United States
Language: English
Better than 98% horror films, better than 94% suspense films
The horror film list must not be without Wen Ziren's works.
"Dead Silence" is a film of suspense + thriller + horror, nursery rhymes are the finishing touch of the film, it should be full of warm laughter, but the nursery rhymes in the film are creepy as soon as they sound.
The small town of Ravens-Farr has a terrifying nursery rhyme: Beware of Mary Shaw's gaze; She had no children, only dolls; If you see her, don't scream; Otherwise she will rip your mouth open and tear out your tongue.
The town has always been shrouded in the curse of this nursery rhyme, and wherever there are dolls, people are killed, and the death is the same, the tongue is cut off.
Soon after Jimmy and Sally got married, they decided to move out of the cursed place, but in the end, Sally did not escape the curse. Grief-stricken, Jimmy decides to send his wife's remains home and sets out to investigate the horrific curse that hangs over the town. As the investigation deepens, Jimmy discovers another truth behind this nursery rhyme.
NO.8
Zombie (2013)
Nearly 200,000 people on Douban commented, with a score of 8.0
Production location: Hong Kong, China
Language: Cantonese
Better than 98% horror films
When you think of zombie movies, will Lin Zhengying's body be in everyone's mind?
"Zombie" is the film debut of young Hong Kong director Mak Junlong, which received 9 nominations at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year, and has been called the best Chinese-language horror film in the past decade.
The film once again brings the almost annihilated Hong Kong version of the zombie back to the public eye, and the story also starts with the once smash hit, but now the declining zombie movie action star.
This star's name is Qian Xiaohao, he starred under his real name in the film, and friends who are familiar with Hong Kong zombie films will definitely be able to find out that he is the actor who collaborated with Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying in the "Zombie" series of films. So it makes sense that "Zombie" is handled like this.
The story tells that Qian Xiaohao's career and life have hit rock bottom, and he takes his belongings to live in a dilapidated and old apartment.
Under the guidance of the security guard Uncle Yan, he walked into the legendary murder house Unit 2442. Xiaohao committed suicide by hanging the beam, who knew that when his fate was hanging by a thread, he was haunted by fierce ghosts, and there were many hidden Taoist Taoist Ayou who took action to pick up a life.
Xiao Hao was curious about the white-haired boy Xiao Bai and Yang Feng, the woman who often peeked at the door of 2442 and ate sacrificial food, and then learned from Uncle Yan about a bloody tragedy that had happened that year.
Uncle Dong in the same building accidentally fell to his death, and Uncle Dong's wife, Aunt Mei, begged Ah Jiu, who specializes in evil law, to help him revive his soul, but caused an irreversible tragedy.
Some commentators said that this film "You are the most literary in zombie films, and you are the most zombie in literary films", but the temperament of literature and art does not prevent the violence of the zombies in the film.
This is a successful resurrection of a Hong Kong-made horror film!
NO.7
The Conjuring (2013)
Douban 360,000 reviews, 8.1 points
Country of Production: United States
Language: English/Latin
Better than 98% horror, better than 96% thriller
Wen Ziren is here again! "The Conjuring", which was born in the same year as the previous "Zombie", is Wen Ziren's signature work, and it has also been filmed into a series later.
The story tells the story of the 70s of the 20th century, the Perrons and their five lovely and beautiful daughters moved to an old house in Harrisville, Rhode Island. Although the house is old and has a long history, it allows the family to experience the joy and joy of returning to the countryside.
Who knew that the good times would not last long, and a series of strange events appeared one after another, which made the girls scream in horror and made the nerves of the Perrons tense to the extreme. To do this, they found the Warrens, the most prestigious of the time.
The husband Ed, who is the only exorcist recognized by the Catholic Church, and his wife, Lorraine, have the ability to glimpse spirits.
They had no trouble identifying the crux of the big house, and in order to get permission from the church to remove the spirits, they had to dig deep to gather evidence of the existence of evil spirits......
Perhaps the scariest thing about the whole film is that it is based on real events.
NO.6
Nosferatu (1922)
Nearly 20,000 people on Douban commented, with a score of 8.2
Country of Production: Germany
Language: No dialogue
Better than 98% horror and better than 86% fantasy
"Nosferatu" is not evaluated by many people, because it is indeed too old, this is a horror film of the silent film era, directed by the pioneer of German cinema and the famous silent film director Murnau.
If you want to know what the originator of vampires was like, you must watch this film. Although it seems that the horror atmosphere and effect of the film can no longer be compared with the horror films of today, this film is the source of vampire movies in later generations.
It can be said that for more than a hundred years, "Nosferatu" has been remade countless times, but it has never been surpassed.
The story goes that Bout is an employee of a Bremen real estate company who is sent by the company to a castle to deal with the Count of Nosferatu, but when he stays at an inn near the castle, people react strangely when they learn of his destination.
When he arrives at the castle and meets the withered and strange Count of Nosferatu, and learns of his nocturnal lifestyle, Bout is suspicious of his identity and finally discovers that he is the legendary vampire.
Bute escaped from the castle, and the Count ran all the way to the house he had bought in Bremen. When Bout returns home and learns that the vampire count has arrived, and that he is the one who caused the plague to ravage the town, he, along with his wife Alan, begins to try to eliminate the vampire count......
NO.5
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Douban 70,000+ people evaluated, 8.2 points
Country of Production: United States
Language: English
Better than 99% horror films, better than 89% drama films
Better than 99% horror movies, scared?
"Rosemary's Baby" is one of the masterpieces of the famous director Roman Polanski, although it was a 1968 work, but it is still not outdated, and it is often seen and renewed.
This is a cult-themed horror film, without much plasma violence, but its weirdness and thriller made it rated "the scariest movie ever" by Entertainment Weekly.
Kay has a fragile wife, Rosemary, and since they moved to their new apartment, Kay has been having a good time with an elderly couple in the neighborhood. Rosemary didn't particularly like the neighbors, and what made her uncomfortable was the next series of strange things.
Rosemary saw the woman who had committed suicide, and she was still having creepy dreams in the increasingly eerie atmosphere of life. In the dream, a hairy monster assaults her, and Rosemary wakes up from the nightmare to learn that she is pregnant.
The neighbor lady comes to take care of Rosemary and the baby in her womb, but Rosemary gradually suspects that all the strange things come from this seemingly kind and kind neighbor, and even her husband, who is conspiring against Rosemary's baby.
Was it a Rosemary hallucination or was it real? When she saw that the baby had no pupils in her eyes, Rosemary knew that the breath of the devil was close at hand.
The most shocking thing about the film is that after its release, director Polanski's pregnant wife was disemboweled, brutally murdered by members of the cult, and slogans written in blood were left on the walls.
Reality is often scarier than movies.
NO.4
The Shining (1980)
Douban 530,000+ people evaluated, 8.3 points
Country: United Kingdom/United States
Language: English
Better than 99% horror films
Kubrick is here with his The Shining!
The film is adapted from Stephen King's novel of the same name, how classic it is does not need to be repeated, Jack Nicholson's crazy and crazy performance, the surging sea of blood behind the twin girls, the brainwashing sentence "only work and don't play, smart children become stupid", and the big axe that splits the door panel, there is too much stamina!
Jack is a writer, and one winter, he gets an errand to look after the hilltop hotel. That's exactly what Jack meant, he could have just had a quiet place to write. So Jack moved into the hotel with his wife and children.
In winter, the road is closed by heavy snow, and there are only three people in the Jack family at the top hotel. As soon as they moved in, Jack's wife, Wendy, noticed that the atmosphere was eerie, and Jack's son Danny often saw people he didn't know, but there was no one else but their family. In addition to writing all day, Jack's temper became more and more eccentric.
Until one day, Wendy discovers that all her husband has been writing all these days is one sentence: Jack is crazy!
NO.3
Strange Tales (1964)
Douban 20,000+ people evaluated, 8.6 points
Country of Production: Japan
Language: Japanese
Better than 99% horror, better than 92% fantasy
Of course, horror films must have a place for Japanese films, and many people may want to nominate films such as "The Grudge" and "Midnight Bell", but in the face of "Strange Talk", whether it is the horror atmosphere or the artistic level, you can step back first.
Based on the short story of the same name by Yakumo Koizumi, "Strange Talk" is directed by the famous Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi, and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 18th Cannes Film Festival and won the Special Jury Prize.
The atmosphere of the film is very weird and bizarre, under the original set, there is a real sense of close-to-face, accompanied by ghostly music, the atmosphere is full, forming its own "weird" aesthetics.
The film is divided into four stories:
The first one is called "Black Hair". After reading it, you will never forget the long black hair.
The samurai living in Kyoto, tired of living in poverty, abandoned his wife and married a noble lady. However, the coldness of his current wife makes the samurai miss the gentleness and virtuousness of his ex-wife, and he meets his ex-wife again, but the result is unexpected.
The second is called "The Snow Girl".
One day in a violent snowstorm, the young man met a beautiful snow girl on the mountain. The Snow Maiden loves the young man and spares him from dying, but the young man is not allowed to tell outsiders about this encounter. What do you think will happen to the youth?
There are two stories left, waiting for everyone to explore 99% of the horror value for themselves!
NO.2
Saw (2004)
Douban 560,000+ people evaluated, 8.7 points
Country of Production: United States
Language: English
Better than 98% thriller, better than 99% horror
Wen Ziren is here again.
The last time we wrote a list of suspense thrillers, many friends asked in the comment area why there was no "Chainsaw", isn't this coming?
Compared to the 98% horror value, it is obviously 99% horror index that is more terrifying. The physiological pain brought by the film makes people numb after watching it.
The story follows Adam, who wakes up and finds himself trapped in an abandoned toilet. Opposite him was Lawrence, who had the same fate—their legs were chained, and between them lay a horrible dead man. The dead man was drenched in blood, holding a VCR in his left hand and a gun in his right.
Adam had a cassette tape in his pocket, and he quickly put it on the VCR. The tape says that Lawrence must kill Adam by 6 o'clock tonight or the two will die together, and Lawrence's family will not be spared. And the blood shed by the dead man in front of him was extremely poisonous.
A bloody game of death begins. With little time left, they must find clues and escape from hell. At the last minute, when they thought they would see the light of day, a new round of nightmares had just begun.
Sometimes, people are much more terrible than ghosts.
NO.1
Dr. Caligari's Cabin (1920)
Douban 30,000+ people evaluated, 8.9 points
Country of Production: Germany
Language: No dialogue
Better than 99% horror films, better than 96% crime films
Another German silent film, "Dr. Caligari's Cabin" can be ranked first because it is one of the most talked about films in the history of world cinema and a milestone in German expressionist cinema. With its grotesque expressionist style, the film became the originator of Western horror films to emulate in the future.
Many of the so-called innovative works we see today were actually photographed by predecessors more than 100 years ago.
The story follows a small-town German town where the hideous-looking Dr. Caligari is finally allowed to perform hypnosis. College students Francis and Allen also came to watch.
The crazy Dr. Caligari shows the crowd how he hypnotizes and controls his partner Caesar, and announces to everyone that Caesar can answer all the questions they ask.
Curious Alan asks: How long can I live? The sick Caesar replied: Live until the early hours of tomorrow morning. Francis didn't believe it, but Allen was horrified. With that, Eren was literally killed.
Stunning composition
Francis broke the news to her good friend Jenny and her doctor's father. They launched a multi-party pursuit, but the amazing secret is not at all, who is the real murderer?
