The post The Top 10 Most Terrifying Horror Movies of the Last 5 Years appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>Why We Love It: The Witch put the genre of folk horror on our radar and horrified and disturbed us into many a restless nights sleep.
Why We Love It: Unlike many horror movies of the last decade, Hereditary explores the genuine horror of a haunting without relying on jump scares and gory monsters.
Why We Love It: A Quiet Place is less about loud jump scares and more about the silent moments of terror that make Krasinski’s post-apolcayptic world a real nightmare.
Why We Loved It: Partly, we loved it because weren’t expecting it to be so darn scary. The film popped up on Netflix and left everyone in an apocalyptic frenzy and right after Christmas nonetheless.
Why We Loved It: Jordan Peele’s directorial debut had us on the edge of our seat and wondering what on earth is going on. We were big supporters of Peele’s Oscar win.
Why We Love It: Following the success of Get Out, we had high hopes for Us and it didn’t disappoint. The movie is chilling from start to finish.
Why We Loved It: IT was the Stephen King remake we were all ready for. Although it was more of a blockbuster than an artistic masterpiece, it was very entertaining and got the Entertainment For Us stamp of approval.
Why We Love It: Annihilation is visually stunning and sustains the horrible feeling of being lost in the unfamiliar.
Why We Love It: Babidook came out several years before Hereditary and masterfully terrifies by relying not on jump scares, but on psychological terrors and the horror of loss.
Why We Love It: It Follows is a pretty low budget horror but the concept of being relentlessly followed to no end is extremely frightening.

]]>The post Let’s Talk About… The Curse of 1973’s “The Exorcist” appeared first on Entertainment For Us.
]]>Given its content, the fact the movie was considered controversial in the 1970s is no surprise. Far more interesting is the creepy and tragic accidents that happened on set and surrounding the film’s release which led many to consider The Exorcist to be cursed.
Few people are aware that the film was actually based on a true story. William Peter Blatty wrote the novel following a real life exorcism and changed the main character to a girl to protect the boy’s identity. This makes the following events even more creepy.
Shooting for the film is initially delayed thanks to a pigeon finding its way into the circuit boxes and causing a fire. Reagan’s room, however, is untouched by the flames.
Many injuries happened during filming. Ellen Burstyn, who plays Regan’s
Before the film was completed, Jack MacGowran, and Vasiliki Maliaros, whose characters died in the film, died in tragic accidents. A decade after the film’s release, Mercedes McCambridge, who voiced the demon, discovered her son had murdered his wife and children before taking his own life. Linda Blair also lost several family members during filming.
These terrible events led Televangelist Billy Graham to claim: “There is a power of evil in the film, in the fabric of the film itself.” In fact, some people believed that watching the movie on a projector would invite the curse into one’s home. A combination of controversy and talk of curses resulted in the film being banned in the majority of Middle Eastern countries.
So yes, Hollywood blockbusters like The Conjuring and Insidious may use better visual effects, but the backstory and eerie coincidences behind The Exorcist are far more chilling.

]]>Rec, Spain
Something bad is happening in an apartment but no one is sure what yet. All they know is that the rows of armed forces outside mean no one can leave.
Creep, UK
Ever missed the last train? Don’t worry… you’re not alone.
Babadook, New Zealand
A movie which gets under your skin like no other. A twisted tale of grief and the boogie man.
Goodnight Mommy, Austria
Beautifully cinematic, deeply unnerving to watch.
Martyrs, France
This is horrible. It’s brilliant, but it truly is horrible.
The Grudge, Japan
Filled with haunting images which are even more disturbing than the American remake, although that is great too.
Let the Right One In, Sweden
A vampire story which is worlds apart from Twilight.
Funny Games, Austria
Another bizarre and unsettling movie from Austria. A family’s vacation is ruined when they are forced to play twisted games on one another.
Dog Tooth, Greece
Two teenagers have been isolated by their parents their whole lives, then one of them decides to make things a little more interesting…
The Witch, UK
A deeply unsettling movie set in an old English village in the middle of nowhere. There is something about the eerie aesthetic and uncanny mix of silence and screams which makes The Witch get under your skin and stay there.
