Movies. Again.

The list is back. This time, a few new entries, and a few old ones. These are the horror/thriller films that you should not miss:
So my vote for the all time greats will be:
1. Birds: this is classic Hitchcock, although the horrifying part of the movie is somewhat evident in the title.
2. The Exorcist: three decades down, this still is a cinematic masterpiece. Also try to read the book if you haven't.
3. Wolf Creek: pushes the envelope to levels where US filmmakers rarely go. Also noteworthy is the gritty 'home movie' feel that this gives you. Extremely competent development of characters.
4. Ringu: if you want horror, go to Asia. They really know how to scare the willies out of you.
5. The Vengeance Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Old Boy): these Korean movies from Chan Park are less horror and more gut-wrenching, spine-tingling, nerve-jangling rollercoaster rides. There is blood and gore, yes, but this man is a master of his craft. These movies are driven by brilliant scripts and a directorial hand which pays great attention to detail. Park is a man of method, and this reflects in some of his characters. His cinematography, particularly his use of panoramic (wide) lenses is stunning. His background scores are as close to perfection as one can possibly get. Tarantino could benefit from some lessons given by this guy.
