- DirectorRon UnderwoodStarsKevin BaconFred WardFinn CarterNatives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one.51) A genre classic; Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward are two handymen who battle monster sandworms in the Nevada desert. Off-beat and funny and endlessly watchable.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.52) John Carpenter's messy, frightening chiller about a shape-shifting alien is made all the more effective in that its Rob Bottin effects haven't lost their impact since 1982.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsDavid NaughtonJenny AgutterJoe BelcherTwo American college students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.53) The greatest werewolf movie - ever!
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.54) A genre classic; Wes Craven's haunting, surreal, immortal film. Robert Englund is truly scary as Fred Krueger and Heather Langenkamp is quite resourceful as young Nancy.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellSarah BerryDan HicksAsh Williams, the lone survivor of an earlier onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits, holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.55) "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) is my favorite horror movie of all time, but "Evil Dead II" is one of the scariest and... funniest; Bruce Campbell rules as the demon-slayer Ash.
- DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsJet LiBob HoskinsMorgan FreemanA man enslaved by the mob since childhood and raised into behaving like a human attack dog escapes his captors and attempts to start a new life.56) Without question, "Danny the Dog" or "Unleashed" is the best Jet Li movie I've ever seen. The fights are spectacular and we finally see the side of Li that's been suppressed for so long by money-hungry execs.
- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.57) It seemed impossible, but director Richard Kelly was able to make one heck of a philosophical cult film with Jake Gyllenhaal doing his best as a disturbed teen who welcomes the apocalypse.
- DirectorPhilip KaufmanStarsDonald SutherlandBrooke AdamsJeff GoldblumWhen strange seeds drift to earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade San Francisco, replicating the city's residents one body at a time.58) The superior remake to Don Siegel's 1956 original, and the best adaptation of Jack Finney's original 1954 novel "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers"; the ending is unforgettable, and downright terrifying.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsAlison LohmanJustin LongRuth LivierA loan officer who evicts an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.59) Like his "Evil Dead II" (1987) before it, director Sam Raimi knows how to keep the laughs and scares coming, constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat. Bloody brilliant!
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldThe uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his layabout roommate are disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.60) Bloody brilliant, I tell ya. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are an unexpected delight in Britain's dastardly take on the American zombie film.
