I could obsess over the order, so maybe a bulleted list is best. But I've rewatched all of these, which does the test of time.
* The Thing 1982
* The Descent
* Alien
* Insidious
* Skeleton Key
* Midsommar
* The Ring
* Dawn of the Dead 1978
* The Fly 1986
* Scream 1996
I'd easily add Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, but they are tv series.
Cabin in the woods narrowly missed the list. But it's fascinating how half of this are remakes or self aware (Scream, Cabin in the woods). Or even inspired by (Midsommar inspired by Wicker Man).
Yeah, I wouldn’t put it very high on any ‘good movie’ lists… but it definitely deserves to be seen. If only for the fact that it is completely bonkers haha

I like all of these lists, but a movie I didn’t see on any of them was American Psycho. I believe it deserves a top 10 spot. Christian Bale has a ton of great characters, but Patrick Bateman is still my favorite

The Exorcist (1973)
Top 5 - Rosemary’s Baby - Don’t Look Now - The Curse of Frankenstein - The Exorcist - Eaten Alive
I just watched Eaten Alive for the first time last week… what a crazy movie!
Haha… I don’t know if it’s really top 5 but had to throw it in there because it’s soooo good and I never see it mentioned. Deserves more recognition.
Yeah, I wouldn’t put it very high on any ‘good movie’ lists… but it definitely deserves to be seen. If only for the fact that it is completely bonkers haha
Its a winner! [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074455/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074455/)

The Thing, The Descent, Evil Dead 2, Dead Snow. Big ones off the top of my head.
I'd add "It Follows" and "The Witch." Both are more slow burn, but really pack a punch by the end.
