The Only 12 Horror Movies Worth Watching According to Stephen King
If you're ever going to listen to someone's recommendations about movies that make your blood freeze in fear, then you probably should pay attention to Stephen King's list.
After all, he knows how to terrify you and create this wonderful feeling of thrill that gets the adrenaline pumping through your veins. And he recommends these 12 horror movies.
Stephen King is well-known for his taste in cinematography and his vast knowledge of this art, so it's no surprise that you can't really see a pattern in his recommendations at first. Things that tickle his fancy are quite diverse and include both niche works and pretty mainstream ones.
One thing that we can say about them is that King values the feeling of realness more than anything. If the movie makes you think that these events can happen to you and you'll go through similar stages of emotional damage, then it's great.
The other thing he values is the ability of the movie to make him feel — either fear, terror, or suspense, and that can be achieved not only by visceral body horror but by carefully planted psychological torture. King likes movies that evoke strong emotions — just like his books do.
