Alien, Jaws and The Thing - I don't know if cinema gets much better. Hitchcock's Psycho is my all time fav horror film. Frankenstein still competes after all these years - amazing accomplishment - timeless movie. Also, great audio - that's a nice sounding mic.
Thx for the view in your List of your Most loved Horrorfilms🤝…Great List as i can tell, makes me wanna rewatch some of them again😁. Some of them i’ve Seen in Movie Theater …. I’m glad that i had the Chance to do that. …And also thx for the recommendation of „Onibaba“… i guess i have to See this one😎
Odd that you didn't include Audition 1999 Japanese. It is famous for having audiences running out of the theater 20 minutes before the end because it was creeping even hard core Horror fans out. If you like challenges. I challenge you to watch the whole film without looking away, or shutting it off or leaving the room at the 20 minute before end mark.
Interesting selection. So many good horror movies to choose from, which is probably why the only film that comes into my top 25 that is in yours is The Exorcist. In my top 100 though are also your selections of The Thing, Rec, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Like you say, the horror genre is so bountiful. It's a genre that will always produce an abundance of varying Top 25 lists. I could have easily done a Top 50 but didn't want to waffle on too long.
Yes you should do, even a top 100, as would be enjoyable. Part of the variety of the lists is also due to how people classify the genre as for example some include thrillers and sci-fi in the horror genre.@@MuckMan_Movies
You have a good mix of different stuff from different times, I love that. I might have different opinions about some of the films, but all of them are definitely good ones. I personally have a hard time deciding on one top movie for myself. The Thing is probably it for me too, it has been a constant favorite since I was a kid in the 80s and that movie along with some of Carpenter's other films are probably the biggest reason I'm a horror fan. Good list, a few I haven't seen and I will try to check out, because the ones I have seen on your list are all good. Thank you.
Onibaba, I Saw The Devil, The Tale Of Two Sisters, and Martyrs. I know of Marytrs and I Saw The Devil but hadn't watched them yet. I don't believe I've heard of the other two but all four are now on my list.
Great top 25. Under The Skin will get into more best of lists as time goes on. American Werewolf never gets old. I see you have the same edition of American Werewolf that I did a review of 👍🎬
I remember watching Martyrs at a film festival here in Hamburg. The festival manager came into the cinema, looked at the audience and said "You are all very sick!" Usually, I do not like horror movies, but that one is amazing.
Yeah, its not a comfortable watch for sure, but it's very impactful. I've managed to watch it twice now but I know a lot of people said they could never watch it again. A brutal and unforgiving movie but extremely well made. Thanks for watching and commenting.
If you want to see a truly "impactful" horror movie (sort of), try watching IRREVERSIBLE (2002). You can probably handle it if you could handle MARTYRS,
french MARTYRS is the best horror movie of 21th Century. In my opinion Peter Jackson's Braindead, Barkers Hellraiser, Fulcis Zombie, Romeros Dead Trilogy, Raimis Dead Trilogy, From Dusk till Dawn, Scream 1 are better that half of your list. Tenebre is my favorite Argento. In my opinion is Gullermo Del Toro is overhyped. For me his movies are OK, nothing special. Not many people see the austrian movie ANGST 1983 with Erwin Leder, in my opinion it is the best psycho thriller with great camera work. And POSSESSION 1981 is THE art house horror movie ever time. Better that the most output from A24 together.
This is a great list. Nice range from within the genre. Some classics, some novel choices and i like it it when people highlight more modern films in lists like this. The last decade or so has been a purple patch for horror,in part for the films you mention.
Yes, I'm equally excited and apprehensive about a sequel. I just hope they don't ruin the whole mythology of the first film. Not sure I approve of Maika Munroe returning. I'd have preferred a different story away from her story arc.
Fun list and no complaints with your #1. Loved that edition of It Follows that you showed, very cool. I think my favorite Neil Marshall film is still Dog Soldiers but you’re probably right that The Descent is creepier. Good to see Onibaba there. Have you seen Kuroneko? They seem equally good to me
Hi Neil. Yeah, I have Kuroneko, which I really enjoy too. There is just something about Onibaba that elevates it for me. The It Follows edition has lots of stuff inside including a steelbook too. I just love that release, more so than the recent Second Sight release that everyone is gushing over. Thanks for watching, glad to see people are enjoying my videos.
The part when ‘The Master’ appears in the kitchen terrified me along with the famous boy tapping on the window. Many sleepless nights as a kid after watching this 😂🎬👍
My top 25 are: 1. Scream (1996) 2. Halloween (1978) 3. Friday the 13th Part 4: (1984) 4. The Shining (1980) 5. The Thing (1982) 6. Psycho (1960) 7. Jaws (1975) 8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) 9. American Psycho (2000) 10. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 11. Aliens (1986) 12. Alien (1979) 13. Evil Dead II (1987 14. The Evil Dead (1981) 15. Seven (1995) 16. Frailty (2000) 17. The Exorcist (1973) 18. Predator (1987) 19. Jeepers Creepers (2001) 20. Black Christmas (1974) 21. The Wicker Man (1973) 22. Dawn Of The Dead (1978) 23. Night Of The Living Dead (1968) 24. Hellraiser (1987) 25. Day of the Dead (1985)
Thank you for sharing your list of 25 favorite horror films! I appreciate your choices, even though 'Martin' by George A. Romero and 'The Brood' by David Cronenberg are personal favorites of mine. It's always interesting to see how varied the horror genre can be, and your list has certainly sparked some great discussion. While I do agree with most of your picks, I must admit that I see 'Pan's Labyrinth' as more of a fantasy film, 'Gremlins' as having a strong comedic element, and 'Blade II' as having superhero vibes. 'Halloween' from 1978, it's a classic for me , even though I understand it might be more of an honorary mention for you for me is top 25 . Thanks again for sharing your list
Thanks for your comments. Horror comes in many guises. I don't understand why people can't see that. Gremlins is a horror comedy with some very dark moments. Blade II is a vampire movie with some gory moments. Pan's Labyrinth is a fantasy horror with some horrific moments such as the General smashing the man's face in with a bottle or the stuff of nightmares pale man scene. Horror shouldn't have to be as straight laced and obvious as a lot of people on here seem to think.
Interesting list with good synopsizes. I'll check some of these out. Have you ever seen Carnival of Souls, (1962)?. It's not top 25 but it's a low budget cult classic. Very atmospheric.
To those shuddering at his inclusion of Gremlins. I have been watching horror films with my dad since I was 5 and the only movie that he almost made us walk out of was Gremlins. He was genuinely disturbed watching these monsters joyously tormenting this town with demonic glee as the audience roared with laughter. But thats what I love about Spielberg-produced horror, he often uses a family-friendly story template to trick audiences into feeling safe and fuzzy and then almost subliminally lays on the scares. It’s only much later that one realizes just how the dark themes/ideas that were underneath the surface really were.
Gremlins has some genuinely dark moments. Yes it's predominantly a comedy but no-one can deny the scene where Billy's mum has to take on the newborn gremlins is horror. Also Kate's story of her father found dead up in the chimney is stuff of nightmares. Thanks for your reasoning comments and thanks for watching.
Hello. This is my first time watching any of your videos. Really interesting and varied list. No complaints about your number 1 pic. I have the Japanese Movie Artwork on my wall. Have to see I was surprised to see I Saw The Devil so high up, obviously we have different opinions, I personally loved the first half but then felt it ran out of ideas a bit. Anyway, thanks for the vid. I have liked and subscribed and I look forward to more of your videos and wish you good luck with the channel.
Hard to argue with this list. Some absolute classics here. Nice to see some of the more obscure Asian films get a mention. The only film on this list I haven't seen is Onibaba.
Great list! Really happy to see Onibaba on it. That’s such a haunting film. Here’s my list in no apparent order, these are for me all wildly rewatchable and wonderful: Rosemary’s Baby The Tenant Repulsion Kwaidan Toby Dammit Carrie The Shining An American Werewolf in London The Old Dark House Under the Skin Cries and Whispers Mandy The Dead Zone Don’t Look Now The Wicker Man (original version) The Devils Lost Highway Mulholland Drive Black Sabbath The Exorcist 3 The Omen Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (70s version) Suspiria The Hainting (Wise) Alien and The Thing are awesome but don’t offer anything but terror and tension. I actually really love Vampire’s Kiss as well, but don’t feel like it’s a very well-made film. The script and Cage’s performance are amazing though!
The Haunting was very close to getting into my Top 25. It scared the hell out of me when I first watched it. Nice solid list you have there. Thanks for watching 👍
Ooh, you missed Halloween, Ringu (1998) and Psycho, MuckMan. Three all-time chillers, right there. Good list though. Seen all of them. And they're all good. If you haven't... check out Les Diaboliques as well. The last 10 minutes are killer!
Good list! Obviously we all have different favourites, personally overall i prefer slashers as my list shows. Like you though i got into horror as a kid, i was 5 or 6 in the mid 80s. Some of my rankings might be almost blasphemy to some fans, but just personal taste: 25 Psycho (1960) 24 Child's Play 2 (1990) 23 Puppet Master 3 (1992) 22 Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives (1986) 21 A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) 20 Scream 6 (2023) 19 Halloween (2018) 18 Psycho 3 (1986) 17 Urban Legend (1998) 16 Dracula: AD 1972 (1972) 15 Scream 4 (2011) 14 Bride of Chucky (1998) 13 Jaws (1975) 12 Final Destination 3 (2006) 11 Dracula has Risen from the Grave (1968) 10 Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) 9 Halloween 2 (1981) 8 A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) 7 The Excorcist 3 (1990) 6 Scream 5 (2022) 5 Final Destination 2 (2003) 4 Halloween Kills (2021) 3 Scream (1996) 2 Damien: Omen 2 (1978) 1 Halloween (1978)
Wow, some surprising left field choices there, but like you say everyone has their own particular favourites so they shouldn't be insulted for having a different list of favourites to your own.
amazing top 25! i enjoyed looking at the amazing bluray/dvd packaging too, since im a big horror movie fan who lived in third world country, so there are no such thing as amazing edition releases of the movies here. However, what i enjoyed the most from horror movies are the presentation of the scary scene and i love ghost scenes, i just love em, and to this day, my best horror movie is still the original Thai version of Shutter (2004) and none has been able to top it. That is all from me, Have a good day, sir.
Great choices, especially The Thing. I didn't expect Jaws to be on this list, but you're right. Thanks to this film, I have not gone to the beach since the mid-70s.
I think some of my choices would be different but i cant knock a single film on your list. I would have to make room for hellraiser and night of the living dead but good to see so many of my favorites in your list. The thing is a worthy winner
my top 25 in no order and not to toot my horn but Ive been watching movies since 75 : Dawn of hte Dead 1978, Angel heart, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Thing, Cannibal Holocaust, Kwaidan, Suspria 1977, Near Dark, Creepshow, The Hunger, In the Mouth of Madness, 1408, The SHining, The Mist, The Addiction, Carnival of Souls, Night of the living dead 1990, Dog Soldiers, Tales from teh Crypt Demon Knight, American Werewolf in London, Life Force, The Haunting 1963, Sleepy Hollow, Phantasm, Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
Again a great list ! I have so many stories to go with many of these films, you are like a male version of me ! Some other films that scared me when j was growing up and presently are The Changling, 1980 film with George C Scott and 'Sinister' 1,2 and 3, really creepy 😱 loving the lists 👍
Yeah, Sinister was especially spine tingling but I thought it got a bit silly towards the end. I've not seen the sequels. The Changeling is a good one but I've only seen it once. Needs a rewatch! Thanks for the nice comments, much appreciated.
Nice list sir! Here are some of mine in no particular order The Orphanage Braindead The Thing Eraserhead Mulholland Drive The Fly Shutter Train to Busan The Tenant Tourist Trap The Lighthouse Hereditary The Shining Terrifier Suspiria Suspiria remake Evil Dead Evil Dead II Bubba Ho-Tep From Beyond Planet Terror Audition
Great list. I especially like that you added [REC] and The Descent who are in my top 10 list of favorite horror flicks. The Fly, The Thing, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, all excellent choices. I would add, The Beyond by Lucio Fulci. It has everything: Lovecraftian mythos, possession, haunted house, zombies, just all around great. Speaking of Lovecraft, a movie clearly inspired by the lore is the Canadian horror film from 2016 The Void.
Thank you. I personally wasn't a fan of Fulci's The Beyond because they just kept shooting the zombies in the body instead of the head! It really annoyed me. The Void is great fun but doesn't make a huge amount of sense, but I do enjoy that one. Great practical effects. Thanks for watching.
My own personal top 10... 1. Dawn of the Dead (1978 one) 2. The Exorcist 3. Martyrs 4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 5. Train to Busan 6. Get Out 7. Audition 8. The Mist 9. The Autopsy of Jane Doe 10. Day of the Dead Honourable mentions to The Shining, Halloween, Last House on the Left (original), Inside, The Conjuring, Sinister, Session 9, Us, It Follows, and many many many more!
Total agree that The Thing is the greatest horror movie of All time. But you missed couple great horror movies like Evil dead and Pet cemetery those were classics.
Very solid list. Loved "I Saw the Devil" one of my favorite all times. Might check out the French horror movie "High Tension" and German "Goodnight Mommy" both outstanding...
Great list here’s mine: Black cauldron Beauty and the beast 1991 Legend of sleepy hollow 1949 Vampire hunter d Vampire hunter d bloodlust Van Helsing Shining Return of the living dead Sleepy Hollow Hellraiser 2 Hansel & gretel American werewolf Interview with the vampire Halloween 3 Creepshow Rocky Horror The fog Prince of darkness Army of darkness Evil dead 2 Dawn of the dead Day of the dead The haunted palace Wickerman Blood on satans claw Madhouse Monster club Masque of red death House of usher Phantasm Phantasm 3 Coraline Corpse bride Nightmare before Christmas Addams family The witches Nightbreed Lord of illusions The prophecy From beyond Dolls The stand Rose red Salems lot Underworld (2003) In the mouth of madness Fearless vampire killers Black Sunday Whisperer in darkness
One of the scariest films I've ever seen was made for American television: 1970's "Crowhaven Farm" starring Hope Lange. Witchcraft thriller. Never heard of it? Understandable. No one wants to talk about movies that are relatively unpopular.
@@MuckMan_Movies No Blu-ray...and apparently only Region One. We have three or four different DVD covers for it in the US, and I imagine the quality varies with each one. But it's worth the search, I promise.
@MuckMan_Movies I noticed you have a couple of sci-fi films at the top of your list. I'm both a sci-fi/horror fan. What's your opinion of the film Forbidden Planet?
My Top 10 Horror Films : 10. Fright Night (1985) 5. An American Werewolf in London (1981) 9. Tenebrae (1982) 4. Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) 8. Theatre of Blood (1973) 3. Day of the Dead (1985) 7. Black Sunday (1960) 2. The Thing (1982) 6. Frankenstein (1931) 1. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Good list. However, why you didn't put Martyr's at #1 is beyond me. Its head and shoulders above every other horror movie. And you left out The Ring, which I think is much superior to the Japanese original. Glad you put I Saw the Devil in there; what a wicked movie. BTW, have you ever seen Beyond the Black Rainbow? That's a pretty warped creepy movie.
I didn't put Martyrs at No.1 because this is my list and not yours. We all have different tastes and personal favourites. I have seen Black Rainbow and enjoyed it but not as good as Mandy. Thanks for watching 👍

@@Fredo_Viola Mandy misses the List as close as possible... the Cinematography and the Colour mix is awesome...but also it had B-Movie Vibes and a little Overacting Problem .. But I really Loved it for his individuality... A real brave Film... So when you ask me about the Joy-Factor...Oh yes...it would be Higher! But I will Rewatch it definitely 😉
lol, since when is over-acting a problem! Ha! Of course I’m kidding, but when the choices are as interesting as Cage makes I really think it’s art, especially if the film is as great as Mandy. And, btw, the first time I saw it I had the same feeling as you about the second half. I am not a huge fan of fight films, so superficially I was turned off. But I was drawn back to the film again, and the second time noticed the absolutely STUNNING and ultra-ambiguous ending. Then thinking about Shakespeare’s many revenge plots, I realized I needed to give that second half another watch. The third time I watched I realized what a masterpiece the film is. I cannot wait for his next feature. In my opinion, Cosmatos is our best young living director. Better than Astor, as he allows his film to end in ambiguity. We shall see if that pans out, but I have high hopes.
Great list, but a bit light on classics pre-1970, I only counted 2 (Onibaba and Frankenstein). I would among the classics include Nightmare Alley (1947,), BeautyAnd the Beast (1947), Dead of Night (1945), Ngiht of the Hunter (1955), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Eyes Without A Face (1960), Black Sunday (1960) and Massque of the Red Death (1964.)
Del Toro’s “Cronos” was pretty good too. Wound’t say it scared me but it was a great watch. If you haven’t seen it and you like Del Toro check it out. I think you’d enjoy. Another great list - thank you!
There is a fair bit of love out there for it, but like you say, probably not enough. It blew me away when I first saw it, so much so that I rewatched it the day after. Thanks for watching & the comments.
I tend to be a bit more Gothic, so lean more towards The Haunting, The Innocents, The Others, Sixth Sense, Delamorte Dellamore, Evil Eye, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Where the Devil Roams, Mask of Satan, even a few Hammer and Amicus classics, plus Witchfinder General, Blood on Satan's Claw, The Wicker Man, Dr Phibes, Theatre of Blood, etc. Good to see Onibaba on the list.
Now that's how you reply to someone's favourites list. 👍 Everyone has different tastes. Really love The Haunting, The Innocents, The Others, Wicker Man and Sixth Sense. I'm desperate to see Wolf of Snow Hollow but I dont think it's had a Blu-ray release over here in the UK yet
fantastic list mate brilliant ,honourable mentions ""Tobe Hooper,s"" "Salem,s Lot","Christine",""Poltergiest 2 "the other side"god is in his holy temple earth before be silent now ?
I think Night of the Demon, with Dana Andrews, and The Haunting, by Robert Wise were very well directed, and if I did 25 I could not miss out Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, or Christopher Lee, but I an older than you.
Watching A Quiet Place in the theater was a unique experience. Seeing The Exorcist in the theater was also like no other experience. Some of these I’m not familiar with. Some favorites of mine are Don’t Let Me In, ReAnimator, Evil Dead and Return Of The Living Dead.
There are some fine choices, but, The Babadook, The Blair Witch Project and The Wicker Man are shocking omissions. And, that’s an understatement as I’m trying to be nice. 😊
I absolutely hated Blair Witch Project. I found it incredibly boring. The Wicker Man and Babadook are great and do deserve to be high up on anyone's list. It's hard to leave out so many but in the end there's only 25 places.
I have no complaints about your choices. In fact, I have all of them on Blu-ray or DVD. But you make no mention of some of the finest horror films of all time...such as Night of the Demon (1957), Night of the Eagle (1962), City of the Dead (1960), The Haunting (1963), The Innocents (1961) and Dead of Night (1945). Your list is biased toward modern horror films. Why?
Probably because it's what I grew up with. Night Of The Demon, The Haunting and The Innocents actually feature in my Top 50. Which considering how many horror films have been made are good positions in the whole scheme of things.
Onibaba and Frankenstein, I would agree. But the vast majority of the films in your Top 25 are modern in the sense of being from the modern era, which in my opinion includes the 1970s or later, as opposed to the black-and-white world of the 1930s through the early 1960s.
@@BrianR2395 I don't understand you. There's no right or wrong answer. These are MY favourite films, not yours. Feel free to do your own video with pre 70s horror films if you feel that strongly about it.
Well, if I do make my own video, it will certainly NOT be based on a list of films "I grew up with", which I think shortchanges the whole idea. Since reaching adulthood, I've had the opportunity to discover, appreciate, and enjoy some truly great horror films that existed long before I was born and which I never even heard of when I was growing up. Many of them are among my own Top 25 favorites, along with some later films I actually did "grow up with". But whether I grew up with them -- or not -- has nothing to do with whether they'd be included in my list.
good list,great to see i saw the devil on there,watch it every couple of years and it still feels like a new film.the word masterpice is thrown about far too much these days but i find the final 30 minutes of martyrs heading towards being a masterpice and the strange thing is i dont know why.
i suggest 'empire of passion' by nagisa oshima, kiyoshi kurosawa's 'cure' (and 'creepy'), as well as na hong-jin's 'the wailing' and 'the chaser'. so many broadly fit into horror, there's a very good chance you've seen some / all of these.
Cure is a great one, yes. Creepy was decent but not as good. The Wailing and Chaser are excellent too. Great call outs. Its so hard to compile a Top 25 with so many other deserving films. Thanks for watching.
@@MuckMan_Movies japan always turns up a great deal. still surprised nastier nikkatsu RP don't get a shout at all; 'zoom in : sex apartments' is superb. still really like 'assault! jack the ripper'. people can't see past framing as soft core, see they're mixing genres to avoid repetition.
Bride is way better than the original but it’s not terribly horrific. Onibaba is an interesting choice. Very good movie. The dark corners channel turned me onto that one
Isolation horror. When you can't call for help and you know no help is coming. It brings an extra layer of desperation to the movie. Absolutely loved it. Fabulous list.. I'll be sure to check out the ones I haven't seen. If you like hereditary you gotta check out the other one from Ari Aster "Midsomer"
Interesting list. Some great movies. If I drew up such a list I would have included Psycho, and the Birds, by Hitchcock, Rosemary's Baby, The Night of the Hunter, which was the only movie directed by Charles Laughton, and the Dead of Night, a British portmanteau horror movie from Nineteen Forty Five.
Interesting list. I assume you've seen Bela Lagosi Dracula. Did you know they filmed a Spanish language version simultaneously, Spanish Crew and Actors. They filmed the English language in the day time, then the Spanish crew came in watched the dailies and filmed the Spanish one at night, trying to improve it versus the English language version Recommend checking that one out.
Yes, I've watched Dracula many times. I feel like the 2nd act suffers a little compared to the incredibly atmospheric 1st act. Great film but I prefer Frankenstein from that era. A lot of people prefer Bride of Frankenstein but I feel like there's too much of a comedic element in it, so I prefer the orginal.
Ari Aster is killing it at the moment. heredity is the most scared I've been in ages. Beau is afraid is well worth a watch too. Good to see a lot of Asian horror on your list. good video. thanks
I always thought that horror implies supernatural. If you go by the fear, the jump, the scare only, then you have terror or thriller or what you wanna call it. I'll check the 2 koreans, although they don't look promising by the trailers, but I'm always curious about thrillers. I could agree that, by scare meter only, The Thing is above The Exorcist. But the second is the better movie filmically, better even than Jaws and Alien. And the 3 performances (but impossible not to add MVS's too) are above all the rest. Don't you think that Frankenstein's Bride is a better movie than the first of the series?
I didn't like the comedic element of Bride Of Frankenstein. It just felt out of place. So I actually prefer the first film. Definitely give the two Korean films a watch, you won't be disappointed. Go in as blind as possible to avoid any spoilers.
Yeah, I Saw The Devil is definitely a mind blowing thriller! Because the title is misleading. 2 horror movies that (I saw) recently that really impressed me were (Smile) and (Drag Me To Hell.)
no Psycho? Dead Of Night? Jacob’s Ladder? Night Of The Living Dead? Horror Of Dracula? Sinister? Taking Lives? Zodiak? But hats off for rating John Carpenter’s The Thing so high! It is a masterpiece.
Psycho was very close. So hard to cram 25 films into the list. Should have done Top 50 😂 It's going to be impossible to please everyone when it comes to a list like this.
It's almost like you have your own opinion, which might differ from others! This is your channel, say what you think rather than trying to keep anyone else happy. Thanks for the interesting list.
I beg to differ on the original "Halloween" being called a great Slasher film. It's more of a Thriller than a Horror movie. It has a Hitchcock vibe to it.
My list: 1. The Shining 2. The Exorcist 3. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 4. Evil Dead (2013) 5. Jacob's Ladder 6. Alien 7. The Thing 8. Kaïro (Pulse) 9. Suspiria 10. The Killing of a Sacred Deer 11. Under the Skin 12. Profondo Rosso 13. The Evil Dead 14. A Tale of two Sisters 15. Saint Maud 16. The Descent 17. Rope 18. Bedevilled 19. Ring (1998) 20. The Cremator 21. An American Werewolf in London 22. Night of the Demon 23. Nosferatu 24. Annihilation 25. Ju-on
