The lord of the manor dies and his young daughter is gravely ill, bite wounds to her neck. It stars Nicolas de Gunzburg (a Russian aristocrat who bankrolled the film, appearing under the alias Julian West) as an occult-obsessed young man who visits a French village haunted by a vampire. Dreyer spun his cinematic nightmare from two stories from a Sheridan Le Fanu collection. And Vampyr is different, a film like no other. Vampyr, he declared, was ‘one of the worst films’ he’d ever seen, but added grudgingly that director Carl Dreyer could always be relied upon to be ‘different’. In 1932, the New York Times’s film critic was not impressed.

Full of acid wit and howlingly funny, The Old Dark House is one of the most giddily glorious films you’re ever likely to see.Ĭast: Julian West, Jan Hieronimko, Sybille Schmitz Upstairs, their 101- year-old dad is bedridden and Saul their pyromaniac brother is locked in the attic, while Morgan the mad butler (Karloff) is getting fighting-drunk in the kitchen. I like gin,’), who’s constantly bickering with his batty, deaf sister. Head of the household is Horace (a juicily camp turn by Thesiger: ‘It’s only gin. Its inmates, the Femm family, are quite frankly bonkers. The film was adapted from JB Priestley’s novel Benighted, and sees a young couple, a chorus girl, a war veteran and a gruff self-made industrialist take shelter in a tumbledown Welsh mansion during a rainstorm.

Religious dogma, political division and – finally and devastatingly – military intervention all go under Darabont’s shakeycam microscope, resulting in perhaps the most intelligent, compelling and heartbreaking horror movie of the century so far.Ĭast: Boris Karloff, Ernest Thesiger, Charles Laughtonīelieved lost for over 30 years, they found The Old Dark House in the Universal Studios vaults in 1968. But it’s also a ferociously modern drama, picking apart the political and social threads which just about held America together under the Bush administration. On one level this is pure throwback, an old-school tentacles-and-all monster movie which really comes alive in its glittering monochrome DVD version. Having tackled Stephen King twice already – in The Shawshank Redemption and its inferior follow-up The Green Mile – Frank Darabont made his first out-and-out horror movie with this bleak, pointed adaptation of King’s novella about a mysterious fog which swamps a small town, forcing the inhabitants to take shelter in the local supermarket. Recommended: London and UK cinema listings, film reviews and exclusive interviews.Ĭast: Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Toby Jones Written by Tom Huddleston, Cath Clarke, Dave Calhoun, Nigel Floyd, Phil de Semlyen, David Ehrlich, Joshua Rothkopf, Nigel Floyd, Andy Kryza and Alim Kheraj

And genre filmmakers like Wes Craven and John Carpenter have been elevated to the same storied tier as genre forebears like Michael Powell and Hitchcock… directors whose credentials belied a bloodlust that shocked audiences like a maniac lurking behind the shower curtain.Īs with our picks of the best comedy movies or best thrillers, the below list is a proper smorgasbord of horror movies, including genre-busting science fiction like Alien and murderous serial killer thrillers such as The Silence of the Lambs. Slasher films have been re-evaluated as art. Video Nasties and seedy B-movies have been reappraised as brilliant. īut the truth is, horror’s golden age has spanned the entire lifetime of cinema, eternally lurking in the shadows like Count Orlok and tempting more respectable cineastes to live deliciously by indulging in their baser emotions. Jim from the American Office has become a horror icon thanks to his A Quiet Place franchise and former sketch-comedy headliner Jordan Peele netted an Oscar by tapping Rod Sterling and The Stepford Wives for the zeitgeisty Get Out. James Wan keeps cranking out blockbuster funhouse fare like The Conjuring. Indie darlings like David Gordon Green have taken the reins of the Halloween and Exorcist franchises. Boutique distributor A24 has become the paragon of ‘elevated horror‘ thanks to the elegant scares of Hereditary, The Witch and Saint Maude. There’s a lot of patter about how we live in a golden age of fright.
