Favorite Horror Films

Horror film - a film genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's primal fears, often dealing with the viewer's nightmares, hidden fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Many horror films, in my opinion, are mediocre, too sadistic, too gross/violent but there are some exceptions. A good horror film shouldn't just scare you; it should also make you think.
