Re: Horror REC?

Suspiria 1977 (Dario Argento) is one of my favorite horror movies of all time, really great and groundbreaking use of lighting and color.

Cannibal Holocaust (Ruggero Deodato) isn't for everyone, but I always hold it up as a genre-defining masterpiece. It basically created the concept of found footage horror, kick-started the "cannibal horror" subgenre while smashing the entire concept to pieces, and was so realistic for the time that the actors involved had to show up in Italian court to prove that they hadn't been murdered. Warning for onscreen real-life animal death, though, which I know can be a deal-breaker. Some DVD releases have an optional cut with the animal abuse taken out.

The Thing 1982 (John Carpenter) is a masterpiece of tension and has absolutely brutal special effects that pretty much hold up today. One of my all-time favorites, and one you'll see on any "Best Horror" list for good reason.

Night of the Living Dead (George Romero) created the concept of zombies as we know them. If you don't think that a zombie movie can be terrifying and original, watch this. The acting can be a bit cheesy at times (it was incredibly low budget and so most of the actors had never, y'know, acted before), but the plot and tension are just as terrifying as they were in 1968.

As you might be able to tell, I tend towards older horror. Not saying that there isn't newer stuff that's worth watching, but I'm the kind of person to always urge people to check out the classics.
