Reddit’s Choice: 10 Horror Movies That Should Be on Your Bucket List

There are numerous lists of the movies you need to watch at least once in your life, and you can already imagine features that are always present in them. However, what if we try to make such a list, but only with horror features? The result will surprise you.

Here are 10 of the most worth-watching horrors, ranked by Redditors.

1. The Thing (1982)

First comes John Carpenter’s classic film, telling a story about a scientific research team in Antarctica who is tormented by a terrifying alien, which became influential for the whole subgenre of the science fiction horror features.

2. The Shining (1980)

“Stephen King 's book is better, but the movie is still a masterpiece that everyone needs to watch at least once in their lives,” says Redditor @No-Professor-8680 about it. Indeed, Kubrick’s timeless horror is a must-watch for all people interested in cinema.

3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

The next Reddit’s pick appears to be the origin of both modern slashers and found-footage movies. It follows a group of young people, who fall victim to a family of cannibals on their way to visit an old homestead.

4. Threads (1984)

“Apart from anything, we need more people to believe in unilateral nuclear disarmament, and if anything can do it, it's Threads,” assures @ConsistentlyPeter, speaking of this apocalyptic feature on the fictional nuclear war and its effects.

5. The Descent (2005)

Following six women who end up in an uncharted cave system and try to survive against the humanoid monster creatures inside, this movie is one of the best horrors of the 21st century, which you should definitely give a try.

6. Se7en (1995)

Quite a surprising choice here, as it’s in fact a crime thriller.

“I know it’s not technically horror, but Se7en is nearly perfect in my eyes,” says @p0ser, and apart from its overall wholesomeness, it can indeed scare you more than most of the traditional horrors.

7. Nightcrawler (2014)

Jake Gyllenhaal ’s thriller talent shines the most in this horrifying feature, focusing on the exploits of a cunning stringer who hurries late at night to record violent events in Los Angeles and to sell the footage to a local television news station.

8. Rec (2007)

“I normally don't like zombie movies but this was a banger,” shares @Middle-Shop-2161.

This Spanish found footage horror is truly the subgenre’s gem, and it’s proved by its worldwide popularity even 17 years after its release.

9. The Evil Dead (1981)

Here comes one of the most influential supernatural horrors, which spawned the whole extremely successful media franchise. It focuses on five college students who find a tape that, when played, releases a bunch of dangerous demons and spirits.

10. Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)

Finally, here comes this black comedy horror, telling a story of the two friends who are mistaken for killers by a group of clueless college students. It artfully mocks a number of old horror tropes and contains high-class visual gags.
