Is this the greatest horror movie ever made?

>>79617145
It's up there. The original Dawn of the Dead is very close to being the best horror kino as well, but TCM may just edge it out.

pretty sure the consensus is that this is the best horror

>>79617190
You have to be 18 to post here

I think I might like Black Christmas better.

Its definently one of the best, maybe the Evil Dead is even better.

>>79617145
Probably. One of the few contenders to claim the title.

Others:
The Shining
Psycho
The Birds
The Exorcist(TC)
Dawn Of The Dead
The Thing
Carrie
Alien
Jaws

It's a one-of-a-kind, very unlikely film. Hooper never came even a little close to making something that great again.

>>79617145
The Shining is the greatest

>>79617145

Saying one film is the greatest of its genre is always a gamble but it certainly is one of my favourites.

Only film that comes close that I can think of right now is Martyrs (2008). Actually, I think that one beats TCM.

this movie unironically scared the shit out of me. The only thing that ruined it was the end scene, his fate should have been left ambiguous. i didn't care for the story at all, but the way they used sound, the way it was shot, and the pacing were all excellent imo and its a very pure horror film. but i have a soft spot for found footage. i never watched any of the sequels though.

Psycho's more of a thriller than straight horror. That's why the twist where the supposed main character Marion gets killed out of nowhere is so great.

It does stand the 'test of time', but it doesn't the test of plebshits. But then again plenty of great cinema fails there too.
And The Birds is another Hitchcock masterpiece. To think someone is kidding by praising it really says a lot.

Iconic doesn't say anything about the quality of the poster, only its popularity over a long period of time. The tagline certainly is iconic, similar to Colour Me Blood Red's "It's only a movie".

>>79620962
>Iconic doesn't say anything about the quality of the poster, only its popularity over a long period of time.
