  • Here's my top 5 (with slight cheating):

    1. The Thing
    2. Alien/Aliens - don't make me choose
    3. Braindead
    4. Shaun of the Dead
    5. Evil Dead 2

    HM: Freaks

    • I like your list, while I'm not that into the "old" (says the person that has The Shining as his profile picture..) movies I still really appreciate what they brought to the genre!

      • I’m not that into the “old” ... movies

        It may just be that I'm "old" - the bulk of those I first watched on VHS.

        So, anyway, now I'm intrigued to see your top five. 🤔

        • Haha, I might try to give you them.

          Note that with me "top five" and top lists in general it's hard to define as there is so many great movies out there. But If I would have to give those movies that had the biggest impact on me:

            1. SAW
            1. The Shining
            1. The Conjuring
            1. Evil Dead Rise
            1. Ichi The Killer

          I've got a thing for brutality in movies, I really don't know why, maybe life has made me appreciate being able to face it on screen and not in real life? To be honest brutality I've faced like most people, not physical but you know what I mean.

          This is a list I just made, and if I would have a top 10 list more of the Saw movies including SAW X and VI would be added to be completely honest 🤣

          I hope I didn't touch a nerve with the whole "old" stuff. I love movies from those times.
