I haven’t seen many horror films, but the ones that I have seen have been pretty good to great. Here is a list of what the IMDb says are horror films I’ve seen and what I give them out of ten:
The Evil Dead (1981) - 8/10
Evil Dead II (1987) - 9/10
Evil Dead got a 7.6/10 and Evil Dead II got a 7.8/10. Still good scores. Also I always thought these were action/horror films but okay.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - 7/10
This actually got a 7.5/10.
The Shining (1980) - 9/10
I’m going to watch this one this weekend as well. I don’t even remember it to be honest.
The Cabin in the Woods (2012) - 8/10
This got a 7.0/10 on imdb. Still a good score though
Drag Me to Hell (2009) - 8/10
Actually it got a 6.6/10
Evil Dead (2013) - 6/10
Alien (1979) - 9/10
Sci-fi/Horror = not a true horror movie. Also it got a 8.5
Where did you get these scores from? lol
I went to my ratings, then filtered them down to what IMDb considers to be “horror” films. The ratings I specified are what I give them, not the general consensus.
