Seminal American Horror Kino

The top ten off the top of my head

10. The Sadist
9. Halloween
8. Maniac
7. Phantasm
6. Hellraiser
5. Videodrome
4. The Thing
3.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
2. The Shining
1. The Blair Witch Project

Dagon

Literally all of those are either shit or not scary.

Hellraiser, The Thing, Videodrome and the Shining are good.
Rest are shit.
No such thing. There are just some bright exceptions.

Lost Highway is legit creepy though.

Evil dead, nightmare on elm Street, event horizon, saw, the cell, it (original), scream, the ring, jaws, night of the living dead, they live, the sixth sense, the fly, Chucky…all felt pretty fresh when they came out. Don't feel like arguing about genre placement though.

Opinion discarded

Have you ever actually sat down and watched The Blair Witch Project? Have you ever been lost in the woods?

Do you have any actual critique?

All that shit and no Jacobs ladder.

Event Horizon?

In the mouth of madness?

Lost Highway?

Alien, Candyman, A Nightmare on Elm Street

The only kino on that list is the Shining

It's a breddy gud list up till then, not that bwp is even bad or anything

FTFY

...

You forgot Alien

...

BWP is legitimately the best found footage style movie ever made but The Exorcist is effectively the greatest horror film ever!

PLEBS GET OUT REEEE

Fucking pleb

Jacob's Ladder.

You've never seen Phantasm then.

The Haunting 1963.

Kill yourself

The Silence of the Lambs is technically a thriller

No comments on this one? I feel that this and Maniac really shaped the slasher/thriller genre. The remake of Maniac with Elijah Wood was great too.

Unappreciated

The Exorcist is ridiculously overrated and not scary at all.

Similarly to BWP, the people who like it think it's a documentary

No, TBWP is a very effective horror film. Probably somewhat less so today, than it was when it first came out, but it certainly belongs on a top ten list.

That's like saying goose shit is the best kind of shit for eating.

I would agree that it's breddy gud at least and better than other found footage movies


…although it's also correct to say it's a low bar to clear

I thought it was not very scary but did a good job of evoking moral/spiritual horror, if that makes any sense.

Re-Animator, Poltergeist, Bram Stoker's Dracula
