Look behind you..now.... Review on Five Best Hollywood Horror Films

You are sitting on your chair glaring at your monitor. But suddenly a whip of air pass behind you. You turn back and inspect. But find no one. Your room turns cold and complete silence deafens your ears. You hear heavy breathing of someone standing very close to you. You slowly turn your head with sweat all over your face. But again, no one is seen. You try to get out of your seat, but fail. And then, you hear a voice calling your name. You turn back, and then.whack.you don't know what happened. You regain consciousness and find yourself on your bed. It was just a bad dream!

Man has always tried to see the unseen, believe the unbelievable, and go beyond the invisible. He has seen something, which has left him with questions. This questions drive him mad. He want to see that shadow again. He is haunted with the unseen.

We always hear about ghosts and psychos. We haven't encountered them. But some people have seen serial killers and spirits of dead. Is there a third world? Is there someone who wants to kill you?

Just turn around again.

Our Hollywood film-makers have given us some thrilling and chilling movies. These movies can turn your feet cold, eyes popped and run the chill through your spine.

I have listed my favourite 5 thrillers. They need not include rubber-masked demons, but they really got me scared.

So, welcome to hell folks:

5) Evil Dead II 1987

You are out in a woods for a picnic with your family. But the folks living there seem different. They never blink their eyes, and hardly breathe and smile. They move like puppets and glare at you with utter hatred. You think that it is their lifestyle. But the story is something else. The livings are possessed by the dead; the evil spirits.

This is the theme of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead-II. A man is trapped in the woods with undead spirits who possess the living. The line 'Kiss your nerves good-bye' was from this movie. The movie is a hell ride. It will shake you on your seats with sudden crashes and whacks.

Get ready to face your death. They are after your soul.

4) The Silence of the Lambs 1991

You are walking on a dark street. You see a shadow following you. You turn back and see no one. Just a plastic bag that flew across the road. The wind intensifies, so your feet. You try to pace your walk and nearly break in to a run. But the shadow keeps track. You halt for a breather and turn back to find no one. You think it's all over. But then you are stabbed by the unknown.

Jonathan Demme gives us this absolute thriller starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster in lead roles. Jodie Foster, a young FBI agent, is assigned to help find a missing woman, and save her from a psychopathic killer with the help of another killer, Anthony Hopkins. He has the clue to the mind of the ruthless killer, and helps Jodie Foster to find him.

It is a rollercoater ride with some great suspense. Do watch it.

3) Psycho 1960

You had a long drive and decide to stop at a motel. You find the manager suspicious, but then too you take a room. You are tired and fall on the bed. You close your eyes, the suddenly you hear a thud and sounds of foot-steps running down the stairs. You wake up and open the door. You see a shadow going down hurrily. You go down as well, and find the manager staring at you with red eyes and a horrifying smile. He holds a knife in his hands and is about to stab you. But then suddenly, you wake up from your sleep and your dream ends.

Alfred Hitchcock gives us a thriller with Psycho series. Norman Bates as the psycho gives an astonishing performance. This movie is about a young female embezzeler arrives at the Bates Motel which has terrible secrets of its own.

Some good suspense and great background soundtrack will have you glued to your screen.

2) The Sixth Sense 1999

Not every gift is a blessing.

This is the line, which is proved true in Manoj Shyamalan's absolute thriller, The Sixth Sense.

A boy who communicates with spirits and don't know they're dead, seeks the help of a disheartened child psychologist.

Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment are in the lead roles. Bruce Willis plays the role of the psychologist who es*orts the boy to every ghost who want to fulfill their needs. The end is absolutely stunning. I would like to keep it as a secret to the people who haven't yet seen the movie.

Go for it now and know the secret!

1) The Exorcist 1973

Your loved one is possessed by an evil spirit and won't live the body. You are desperate, but your crying won't drive him out. All what is needed is exorcism by The Exorcist.

Late Jason Miller plays the role of the exorcist as Father Damien Karras. The movie is about a 12 year old girl who is possessed by the devil and her only hope is an exorcism.

The godly method to drive out evil spirits is called exorcism.

William Friedkin give us a horror film that raises the hair on our back. It is the best horror movie I have ever seen.

Some other horror movies also deserve due recognition. They are:

*Alien

Dawn of the Dead

The Omen

The Innocents

The Thing

Night of the Living Dead

Night of the Demon

The Shining

Nightmare on Elm Street*

and many more.

That's it for my favourite 5.
