Spirits, Demons,
Angels, White clothes and People floating in the air is what comes to mind when
we talk of horror movies. This genre is not for the faint hearted but for those
seeking adventure, the offbeat and unusual experiences while watching a movie.
The genre of
horror movies and the experience of watching it has evolved over a period of
time tremendously. Thanks to the latest technologies that enable special
effects and the 3D experience, the entire experience of watching a horror movie
has changed. Gone are days when simple costume designs and painful music would
be sufficient to entice viewers to see and continue watching it.
Have you ever
wondered what the best horror movies are? Here is a list of few one can choose
to watch all alone for some adventure:
1)
A Quiet Place- Apocalypse has
brought an end to the normal routine lives of people. Post this, a family is
forced to live in silence as there are monsters that are ultra sensitive on
hearing ability and attack anyone who makes any sort of noise. Rated at 7.5 on
IMDB, it is a must watch.
2)
The Exorcist- Based on a real
life incident that happened in USA, the film is about a 12 year old girl who is
possessed by demonic forces. The film shows how her mother tries to rescue her
child with the help of a priest. The movie will definitely give goose bumps to
anyone who is afraid of demons.
3)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose-
Based on a real life incident in Germany, the film follows a girl in her teens
who experiences strange medical conditions which seem a bit stressed out at
first. However, with time her medical condition worsens and her behavior
convinces her parents that she might be possessed by demons. The film is
considered one of best horror movies based on exorcism and real life incidents.
4)
The Conjuring (1 and 2)- Based
on real life stories of ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine who had investigated over
hundreds of ghost encounters and places, the films are a class apart when it
comes to demons and paranormal encounters. Both the movies can leave you
awestruck by the excellent direction and great shots. It is recommended that
you watch these with a partner.
5)
The Nun- Based on a fictional
account, the film is about a Roman Catholic Priest and a Nun in Romania who are
experiencing strange and demonic experiences in 1952. The film revolves around
a church where it is believed that the demons were buried beneath the ground
and the doors closed using the holy blood of Christ. However, the World War 2
damaged the church’s interiors and some demons were able to come out and wreak
havoc on the Nuns and Priest.
This list is not
exhaustive. With time, more and more movies are coming out which are changing
the overall experience with better scripts and background.
Very insightful
