One of the best and most influential horror films often mentioned is “The Shining” (1980), directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on Stephen King’s novel. It’s a psychological thriller that masterfully builds tension, blending isolation with supernatural elements, and features iconic performances, particularly by Jack Nicholson.
Another favorite is “Get Out” (2017) by Jordan Peele, a more recent film that blends horror with social commentary, exploring themes of race, privilege, and identity. Its clever storytelling and underlying tension make it a standout in the genre.
Both films are celebrated for their intense atmosphere and psychological depth, making them unforgettable in the horror genre!
