Horror films are one of the most rated, popular movie genres, and collections from "horror" films often exceed the income from global high-budget projects. Horror films are very diverse: from bloody through to subtle psychological.
Measuring the degree of “horror” of modern films by the amount of blood spilled or scenes of violence does not seem to be the most objective way. Therefore, the evaluation of films in this category is much more logical to produce according to the effect that viewing the picture has, according to a kind of "scary" index.
Bloody horror
One of the most intense and scary films of the last five years is the continuation of the story of the Texas maniac "Texas Chainsaw 3D Massacre." The film is just from the category of increased bloodthirstiness and cruel scenes. The popularity of the film is mainly provided by loyal fans - those who follow the development of events are not the first film in a row.
The first horror film in the history of cinema is considered to be the film "Student from Prague", released in black and white in 1913.
Mystical horrors
The exorcistic horror film "Six Demons" by Emily Rose is able to hold the attention of even a notorious skeptic to the final scene. The film is best known for two facts: the use of real scenes of exorcism and the fact that the film is based on real events, which increases its degree of eerie at times.
The sequel to the joint American-Japanese production is popular: “Call” (as well as “Call-2” and “Call-3”). A tense, mystical overloaded horror film about a mysterious cassette and a bell following its viewing, which inevitably end with the mystical death of heroes.
Remakes
The fees and remakes are not far behind in popularity and box office, so you can give the palm of leadership among them a remake of the ancient (1981 release) horror movie "The Evil Dead". The film "Evil Dead: The Black Book" is sure to please fans of zombie stories, since paintings of this kind appear on the screen less and less.
The remake of the film "Wii", which was released at the end of January 2014, is also gaining popularity. This is a new reading of the story of Gogol, which is largely presented as a detective with elements of a healthy sense of humor and a great deal of mysticism. The film in 2D objectively loses to the analogue in 3D-performance, where the viewer literally participates in the action, but this does not detract from the artistic merits.
Remakes rarely become the undisputed rental leaders. Their trouble in an involuntary comparison with the previous film.
Realistic movies
Among the leaders in terms of the degree of horror, undoubtedly, is the "Secret of the Dyatlov Pass." Already real events that took place in the Ural Mountains in the middle of the last century, quite themselves constitute an ideal basis for a horror film. All the more terrible is the film, in which real mystical facts are combined with the latest cinema technologies. The product turned out to be a truly chilling blood and requiring a strong nervous system from someone who decides to watch a movie.
