7 Horror Movies With Ghoulishly Gorgeous Visuals, Handpicked by Reddit
These ones are terribly beautiful!
Sometimes horror filmmakers go far from merely scaring the audience by shocking images and loud sounds and turn their films into pure art. These visuals are often beyond the imaginable limits as they both please the eye and creep you out even more.
Here are 7 horrors, picked by Reddit due to their outstanding visual part.
1. The Cell (2000)
Indeed, this sci-fi horror “was a visual feast”, as voiced by Redditor @Matthew-_-Black. The story of a comatose serial killer put in an experimental virtual reality treatment in order to locate his last victim is here enhanced by sleek futuristic design elements.
2. Mandy (2018)
Nicolas Cage’s flick about an enraged man on his journey towards bloody revenge is full of spectacular depictions of a nightmarish cult life and their supernatural and psychedelic experience. It’s highly praised for its unique red-colored visual style.
3. Suspiria (1977)
“It's so vivid and colorful,” admits @BrokeFartFountain about Dario Argento's cultish film. Following the ballet academy appearing to be a coven of witches, this influential movie is presumably the most oft-discussed visually stunning horror of all time.
4. Crimson Peak (2015)
Next comes Guillermo del Toro ’s gothic film that was criticized for its plot, revolving around a mysterious mansion full of ghosts, but nobody dared to doubt its signature visuals. They stand out due to its brilliant creature design and contrasting color scheme.
5. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
“I love how colourful it is and how it tiptoes the line between the beautiful and the beastly. It’s like a fucked up fairy tale in its own way,” says @illegallysmolkate.
Yes, this classic vampire horror can’t be forgotten if you saw its impeccable cinematic style.
6. Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Tim Burton’s gothic horror, focusing on a series of murders in a remote village haunted by a mysterious Headless Horseman, offers the audience the dark fairytale aesthetic that can be considered as the main key to this movie’s wholesomeness.
7. Alien (1979)
Reddit's final choice is quite surprising, but at the same time fair enough, as they pick Ridley Scott ’s timeless sci-fi horror. Its overall style and design of the equipment and the interior of the ship were brand-new back in the 70s, and they still seem to be amazing.
