At number 10.... Dawn of the Dead Part of George A Romero's dead series. It's about four people, trying to escape the infestation of zombies by flying to canada. On the way they land at a mall and decide to stay there, but when looters come to raid the mall, the zombies are let in. I actually liked this better than Night of the Living Dead (I still think night of the living dead is an excellent horror film)I thought the story was better and I also like gory films so I tend to like this one more. Number 9.... An American Werewolf in London John Landis's classic werewolf movie, about two american's on a trip to Britain who get attack by a werewolf. One (Jack) dies but David survives. He starts having horrible nightmares about werewolves etc and his dead best friend appears and tells him that on the next full moon he will turn into a werewolf. So he must kill himself. David ignores this and the next full moon he transforms. An excellent werewolf film with a surprisingly good sequel. This is a classic of the horror genre and I like the way it mixes horror and comedy. I think the funniest bit is when the ded people are giving him suicide suggestions. Number 8.... Ravenous A recent film about a group of americans at fort spencer who get a visit from a man saying he has escaped from someone who ate everyone he was with except for himself and another woman. They go to investigate and get attacked by the man who came to him who has become addicted to human flesh and made the whole story up. Only one returns from the trip and no one believes him. The cannibal then returns desguised as an officer of the army to feed again. I love this film. It has some really good effects and also is funny. Is a welcome film to the cannibal genre. Number 7.... The People Under the Staris Wes Craven film about a little boy who goes in a house to rob it and discovers that the people in there have loads of children trapped under the stairs, one also lives in the walls. He discovers the the couple are brother and sister, they kidnap children to find the perfect boy child. When they were naughty they cut the bad parts out and lock them in the basement, where they become cannibals. I really like this film. I like the story and despite what people say I feel it is a intresting film. It makes you jump a couple of times. Again this isn't a serious horror film but I still like it. Number 6.... Friday the 13th About a camp called camp crystal lake. It was closed after a series of strange events, murders, a drowning, fires ands bad water. The camp is opened again and the teenagers start to die again. First the cook, who gets her throat slit, then Ned, then Jack, who gets a spear through his thoat etc. This film has a great ending. This was the very first horror film I saw and because I was not used to scary films or excessive gore it scared me. I still think this film is quite freaky after watching it a few times. Another horror classic with some disappointing sequels. Number 5.... The Frightners An excellent Peter Jackson film. Frank Banister can see dead people and uses this to con people. He gets his ghost friends to haunt peoples houses and then pays to get them out. Frank starts seeing numbers in peoples head and later they die. He discovers a serial killer, Johnny Bartlett has returned from the dead, he then chooses his victim, writes his current score on their head and squeezes their hearts till they die. Frank is then accussed of doing this by weird FBI man Milton Damers. Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors and I think he has succedded in creating another wonderful film. This film has been described as his second respectable film, the first being heavenly creatures. I would recommend it to any genre fan as it mixes comedy and horror well adn is a very good and original story. Number 4.... The Lost Boys Michael and his family are new to Santa Carla, the murder capital of the world. Michael befriends a local gang, who tells him to drink some wine. One of the gang, star who michael fancies tells him its blood but he doesn't listen. The next day he can't stand the sun, sleeps in the day and almost kills his brother. He also has no reflection. HIs brother knows wht has happening adn enlists the help of the Frogg brothers, comic shop employees in disguise. To help him kill the head vampire and free Michael. This is the first vampire film I saw and I think it's really good, you don't actually see any vampires until half way through. The Frogg brothers are hilarious and so is the film. The head vampire is quite a surprise. A must see. Number 3.... From Dusk Till Dawn Seth and Richie Gecko are on the run from the law. Richie has helped Seth escape from jail. After blowing up a liquor store. Richie rapes and kills the hostage so they have to find another way to get into Mexico, the only way they will be safe. The take a family hostage and get to mexico, where they go in a bar, the titty twister to wait for friends. They picked the wrong bar to meet in because this one is infested with vampires. Now they have to fight to survive. This is the best vampire film I've seen. It is quite funny and there is no hint of what's to come because the first half of the film looks like a typical Quentin Tarintino film (the screenplay is by him) two robbers on the run. However when they get to the bar, watch out. There is lots of gore. Watch this film. Number 2.... Braindead The second Peter Jackson film in my top ten is about a man called Lionel who lives with his over protective mother. One day he sneaks out to the zoo with the local shop keeper Pakita. His mum follows him and when hiding gets bitten by a Rat Monkey. The next day she is falling apart and Lionel calls a nurse. She dies and rises again to kill the nurse. The both become zombies. The make a few more zombies who Lionel keeps in the cellar but when his uncle has a party they escape and attack. This has to be the goriest film I have seen. If you want to see hundreds of people getting chopped up with a lawnmower or attacking intestines then watch this. It is my favourite Peter Jackson film, along with Meet the Feebles. I would recommend it to gore hounds or anyone with a strong stomach. This film is also incredible funny like the kung fu priest "I kick ass for the lord". Number 1.... My favourite horror has to be Evil Dead 2. It is about Ash, who survives the first Evil Dead and tries to get as far away from the woods as possible. However the bridge to get away has been destroyed so he is trapped. He chops up his zombie girlfriend with a chainsaw and then his hand gets possessed. He chops this off with a chainsaw as well. He is then joined by Annie, her boyfriend, who have pages from the book of the dead, which ressurected the dead and Bobby Joe and Jake who hepled them get the the cabin. Annie thinks Ash killed her parents so the lock him in the cellar with Annie's dead mother who is a witch. The let him out and slowly the die. Jake then throws the pages in the cellar before he is eaten by the witch. now Ash has to go in the cellat to get the pages from the book of the dead to send the evil away. I love this film. It is a comedy horror. It is directed by Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell. If you like gore this film is for you. It makes you jump at points and delievers genuine scares. It is also very funny, like when Ash gets beaten up by his hand. It is my all time favourite Horror Film. Home Reviews Top Ten Horror Trivia Links
