Top 5 Scariest Scary Movies of 2008
March 2nd, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized — Movie CriticA list of the top 10 horror movies of 2008 that scared me. Some of them are must-sees, others simple showcases of what the year 2008 brought to the scary movie genre. Whatever went through my head to make me include these films in this toplist, here are a 5 movies of the top 10 list I have published on TotallyTop10.com. Enjoy!
1. Let The Right One
Based on the Swedish best-selling novel Lat Den Rtte Komma In by John Ajvide Lindqvist about a girl, Eli, who one day appears with a strange older man in the Stockholm neighborhood of Blackeberg. Living next door is the boy, Oskar, who lives a miserable life with his mother, being bullied at school. One night out on the playground Oskar and Eli meet and slowly become friends. But there is something about Eli that isn’t quite right. She is only out during night and that man she is living with seems to more of a servant than a father-figure.
2. The Strangers
Inspired by true events, The Strangers takes place in a summer house out in the middle of no where. A couple is spending the night there after celebrating their friends wedding. But they are not alone. A knock on the door, a girl asking for someone who does not live there. Another knock. Now they’re in the house.
3. Saw V(5)
As the last in the classic Saw-series, Saw 5 basically consists of the same thing as the rest of them. And it’s brilliantly horrific. Some may argue that sequals never can earn up to the original. Perhaps that’s true. But compared to all the horror movies that has been done this year, Saw 5 is far from the worst of them. Always scary and always very uncomfortable. Just how I like it. Hope you like it too.
4. Doomsday
Doomsday follows in the footsteps of end of days-movies like 28 days later, Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil etc. I have ever since been a die-hard fan of these what-if-a-virus-that-makes-people-turn-into-zombies-is-released-upon-the-world kind of movies. Some how that’s the way most horror film director seem to picture the end of human kind.
5. Trailer Park of Terror
Despite the poor amount of votes TPT got at Internet Movie Database, and the obvious slasher-movie stamp all over it, Trailer Park Terror is one scary movie. And what would a scary movie top-list be without the attempt to bring you over to the dark side of slasher-fans.
That was a fore taste of the full top 10 list you’ll find at TotallyTop10.com. I hope you find this listing helpful when renting a DVD or downloading for Friday night cosy time.
