5 awesome horror flicks!. Review on Five Best Hollywood Horror Films

I have always loved to watch horror flicks (movies) ever since I was a small kid. I remember the first horror movie that I ever watched, or should I say the first thriller movie. It was “The Exorcist”. It about blew me away. I was so scared when Regan was possessed by the devil. I remember my older brother putting his hands over his eyes through out the whole movie because he couldn’t stand seeing the way she looked. He also would cover his ears during horror movies because of the “sounds or music” that played. So now I decided I would give my top five best horror or thriller movies that I enjoyed while I was growing up.

Nightmare on Elm Street

I really liked this movie the first time I seen it. When I was younger I believed that maybe just maybe this could really happen since it was based upon dreams. Freddy was a terrible man who would go around the town and kill small children. Then one-day the town’s people surrounded him in a boiler room and burned him up and took off his sharp claw like hands that he would use to kill with. Then as the years went on Freddy would begin to return in the dreams of those children whose parents killed him years ago. If Freddy was able to kill you in your dream then in real life you would be dead too. The trick to killing him was to bring Freddy out of your dreams and awake with him in your hands. This was the only way that Freddy would die because in reality (out of the dream world) he was human and was able to be killed. The movie was so freaky, and the sounds of Freddy’s claws as they screeched across metal were so bone chilling. His face was all burned up and he wore a stupid shirt that was black and red stripped. Freddy would use the fears of each kid he killed in their dreams. I just loved this movie, and I still like to watch it once in awhile. I also loved the song that goes along with the movie. 1-2 Freddy’s coming for you, 3-4 better lock your door, 5-6 crab your crucifix, 7-8 better stay up late, 9-10 Freddy’s back again! When you heard this song you would see three small girls dressed in a white dress playing jump rope and singing this song.

Salem’s Lot

This was a movie that was based upon vampires. I saw this movie when I was in my teenage years. It was so scary when the brother of one family dies and then his brother is in bed sleeping and all of a sudden you hear a scratch at the bedroom window. The boy awakes and sees his brother floating outside his widow in what looked like a white cotton pajamas. The boy is letting his finger- tips flow across the glass on the window and he wants his brother to open the window so he could come in. His face was all white, and his eyes were so freaky looking, you could tell he was dead. His brother of course opens the window because he doesn’t realize that is brother was a vampire. The only way a vampire was able to enter a home is if he/she was invited, so that was why he wasn’t able to come in the window himself. Once inside the window you see him floating towards his brother and then his arms are stretched out and he hugs his brother and then starts to bite him and suck out his blood. That was the best part of this whole movie. I love vampire movies they just seem so cool.

Interview with a Vampire

Not only does this movie have two awesome actors (Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise), it also has a great story line. It wasn’t so scary, but it still was a good thriller. I felt sad for Brad because he didn’t want to be a vampire, he didn’t want to go around the towns and just kill and suck out the blood of innocent people. So he tried his best to keep killing rats instead. This didn’t satisfy him to long, when he came across a young girl in her bed. Her parents had just died from a disease that was spreading around town. He didn’t like seeing her suffer so he began to suck her blood. Then Tom arrives and tells him to finish her off, but Brad wasn’t able to do it. Finally the girl was turned into a vampire herself and lived with Tom and Brad. Brad wanted to train her to not kill, but Tom wanted her to be like him, so it was hard trying to raise a young vampire girl. The girl also wanted a mom to take care of her, so she went on the look for a woman. When she finally found the one she wanted she made Brad bit her and turn her into a vampire like them. She told Brad that he owed her that since he made her that way to begin with, and she needed a mom to raise her. So Brad turns the woman into a vampire. Now they want to leave Tom because he is just going to nuts, they thought they had killed him by having suck blood from two young boys. The girl told him that the killing was fresh, but really it was old blood and that made him sick. Then they burned down the house thinking that he died too. The ending of this movie was so sad, the little girl and the woman end up being locked into a dungeon that allowed the morning light to enter the room. Once the light entered the two were then turned to ashes and died. Brad was then left alone, and Tom was alone as well. The ending will surprise you! I love vampire movies as you can tell. This was not so scary, but it still had to make my list.

The Shinning

I don’t know if you would consider this a horror movie or a thriller, but I was scared when I first seen this movie. Jack Nickolson is awesome when he turns nuts. The movie was scary specially the parts where you would see the nude lady in the bathtub, and when the little boy was holding a knife and saying “redrum, redrum” that meant murder spelled backwards. Jack is asked to take care of a motel over the winter and during his stay there he begins to go a little crazy. He starts to talk to a man in the bar that isn’t really alive, but to Jack he is. He then thinks that his wife and son is against him and he need to kill them. I loved the part were he chases his family down with the ax, and his wife locks herself in the bathroom. Jack looked so scary then and his voice was changed. His actions were what freaked me out in this movie. I feel this had to be added to my list.

Children of the Corn part 1

When I first seen this movie I was so surprised. I couldn’t believe that young children were actually going around the town and killing off their parents and any adult that entered the town. They lived in the corn field and they would hide so that no adults could see them. Then when they wanted to kill someone they would all come together and make the kill. There was one leader of all the kids, and he was the one who stood behind the red rose. He was the one that brain washed the children of the town to kill. He wanted to have all children follow just him (Satan) but that isn’t how it ended, instead an adult was able to kill off the one and only leader and then all the children were killed as well. This doesn’t end here, there are other series to this movie and of course it always takes place with a cornfield, and lots of killings. I seem to like part one the best cause it was original the other series were so predictable. This was one great horror movie in my book.
