I really love the horror genre, at its best it can truly give you a cinematic feeling like no other. The jolts you experience from watching a spook-fest are akin to being in “fight or flight” mode, your body’s natural ability to react to a harmful event, attack, or threat for the sake of survival. Thus the action of covering your eyes or looking down when what’s happening on-screen is too much to take. The fact that you can’t do anything about it, except watch, makes it all the more torturous. Of course, I don’t wince, I man-up, eyes glued to the screen, I live for the adrenaline-pumping high of top-notch horror. The following ten are not necessarily my favorites, but they’re the most important, most groundbreaking, and without them, horror wouldn’t be where it is today. The typical Romero zombie was a slow-moving thing, which fit quite well with the tense and slow pace of the films. He was the director that created the typical “zombie” monster as we know it. Romero was prophesying the notion of a soulless world with his living dead, but this generation has embraced the sprinting zombie as the scarier monster. In a way it is, but it also makes for a less brooding experience. Contribute Hire me
