To a horror movie lover, The Thing is perfect. To me personally, The Thing is absolutely perfect. To the average KZbin browser watching a video about what horror movies they should watch, it is perhaps not the best choice. A lot of people can't grasp the brilliance of it, especially kids growing up with CGI effects in every damn thing they see.

@@irina1296 The story structure and the characters of the original are so incredibly bland. The production side of the film is incredible but it is soo far from perfect. The reimagination of the film has so much more substance to it, much better acting, a far better script in which there are actually interesting characters and it is, imo, much better directed. Both scores are absolutely amazing. I really don't know what you're on about the forced feminism. female characters in a film don't make it a forced feminist film, and i hate movies like Ocean's Eight and Ghostbusters (2016) for that reason. it is, in fact, a movie that rejects every modern trend of filmaking and it is a true masterpiece that stands above the original for me.

I know someone who read the book, I didn't read it, but they said it was the most terrifying thing they ever read. I don't know, maybe... anyway the movie did pretty well keeping a lot of the story intact, as I understand it(?) I also like the very simplistic book and film Pet Sematary partly because it was filmed where I live - - about a mile from my house. And we had a cat killed on the road during filming too, as well. Had to bury him one night during the full moon... Seriously. I always thought the cat was killed by one of the people working on the film because they raced up and down this road some.

I have seen Thinner and I don't agree that it is the equivalent to Drag Me To Hell, which was a great horror movie by the way. I LOVE horror movies and agree that it belonged on the list

[@RIVALContentJammerz]

Thinner had better writing, DMTH totally gave it's ending away when they spilled the car floor.

[@paceyhackett552]

Thinner was great but was straightforward as in his action lead to reactions moving the movie along. No hidden info. But DMTH had a hint of sublety about eating disorders so it was also great on its on but the two are similar with regard to the 'curse' being the main point of the movie.

[@erikfldt390]

So we're just going to forget about THE EXORCIST and THE SHINING? Oh, and Re-Animator, Cat People, Evil Dead II, Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, Cannibal Holocaust, Suspiria, Phantasm?

There's is A difference between torture and horror

[@nicholasmoore1203]

I wouldn’t really call cannibal holocaust scary. More of just a disturbing movie. Susperia I agree with as well as the shining. Psycho deserved a spot as well.

[@MrsNiaboo2000]

@@Vikas_Kumar_Singh They're not mutually exclusive. Torture can be horror.

[@gregoryreese8491]

The Shinning? Weak, Nicholson played it for laughs. As for the rest of the main cast, Duvall was so so and the brat was simply wretched. The only passably frightening aspect were the two girls (hardly enough to carry the movie) everything else was jump scares, half-baked atmospherics and Jack's over-the-top hamming. Though I did like seeing the WPA era Timberline Lodge used for the panoramic exterior shots.

[@SenorMeinKrafter]

Cat People was probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Stupid concept and stupid execution. Probably the worst 40s movie ever made. The Wolf Man (1941) is a better 40s movie and better represents the horror genre than Cat people (1941) does.

[@xodancerxo]

It has to be nominated for Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, and Best Score, at the very least.
