Friday the 13th (1980)



On Friday The 13th, They Began To Die Horribly, One......By One

A classic slasher flick for the ages. The killer is often mistaken in this film. People believe Jason is the killer in all the Friday flicks, he's not. His mother wields the knife in this one. The deaths were more 'gory' than the other slasher flicks of that time and this series has the biggest body count out of ALL the slashers out there.

Iconic horror film villain......or hero? I don't know about you guys, but I seem to root for Jason every time.

You're Next (2011)



Did you remember to lock your door?

I don't know if I wasn't expecting much from this home invasion flick, but it certainly got my attention. A great soundtrack (it's only one song, repeated throughout the film) great death scenes and a nice spin on the heroine victim gives You're Next enough memorable moments to make the list.

Despite an obvious twist, the film paces things out nicely and delivers exactly what the viewers wants each time. Not many people have seen it, so do yourself a favour and catch it.

Dawn of the Dead (2004)



When there's no room in hell, the dead will walk the earth

Ladies and gentlemen, the introduction of Zack Snyder. Many people thought it was a mistake to remake one of the best horror films of all-time. Yet they did and they managed to pull it off.

Is it as good as the original? Nope. But as pure popcorn entertainment, this remake delivers. The big change is in the speed of the zombies, which some hate, some love. I can take it either way. The slow moving zombies are scarier, but it was refreshing to have an updated take on it after the success of 28 Days Later.

The opening sequence is still one of the best openings to a horror film. Then Johnny Cash comes in, topping it off. People were surprised and took notice to this new young director, who has gone on to tackle bigger things. This is one horror remake that I don't mind watching again and again.

Wrong Turn (2003)



It's the last one you'll ever take.

Wrong Turn has spawned several really cheap and terrible sequels. I think they're up to number 5 now? Anyways, I think this film is highly underrated. People seem to gloss over it thinking it's a cheap horror flick with no names and zero thrills. They are wrong. Wrong Turn is tense, thrilling and has no problem offing characters.

On top of that it has good make-up effects and never drags. It feels like a throwback to 70's and 80's horror.

I was really surprised by this flick and I will champion for it any time.

The Sixth Sense (1999)



I see dead people

This film changed movies. It's not the first film to incorporate twist endings, but so many films tried to copy the success after this one came out. Unfortunately for me I had the twist ruined for me before I saw the film. That did not impede my enjoyment of it though.

Willis gives a subtle performance and introduced us to Haley Joel Osment. It's one of four horror films to be nominated for best picture. The film makes you want to re-watch it immediately to try and pick up the clues and see if Shyamalan might have cheated anywhere. It works.
