3. Insidious
The tetralogy of the Astral franchise tells about the spirit world, which is intermediate between the physical and divine dimensions. The combination of the originality of the plot, the play of wonderful actors and good graphics makes the film very pleasant to watch, makes you experience fears along with the heroes of the film. The soundtrack is chosen in such a way that it gives the right scary effect for a horror franchise. It is worth noting that ghosts and demons appear in the frame quite often, which with the right presentation scares even more than with the formula for constructing horror films "the less screen time is devoted to the source of evil, the more it scares."
Director: Parts 1 and 2 - James Wang (2010 and 2013 respectively), 3 - Lee Whannell (2015), 4 - Adam Robitel (2018)
Country: USA
Film rating on kinopoisk: 5.6 - 7.8.
2. Conjuring
The franchise currently consists of two films, The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring 2 (2016). It is the central story of the "Conjuring" universe and is a cinematic reproduction of the life of Ed and Lorraine Warren, fighting the paranormal and helping people who are themselves possessed by demons.
"The Conjuring" is a really exciting and scary horror movie, but the main difference lies in its plot, which is not a simple nonsense with screamers and "caustic" musical accompaniment, but a rather deep meaning that makes you worry about the main characters from the first minutes.
Director: James Wang
Country: USA
Film rating on kinopoisk: 7.1 - 7.4.
1. It
Topping the list is the film "It", based on the novel of the same name by American writer Stephen King, which tells the story of seven friends who are terrorized by an ancient evil creature that takes on various guises and embodies the deepest fears of the human soul.
The plot passes through two age lines - childhood and maturity of the main characters and makes you experience all the horrors of the film with them. Evil on the screen transforms into a variety of horrors, making the antagonist multifaceted, not boring and very memorable.
Professionally staged scenes and horror scenes, combined with modern film processing technologies, leave the audience feeling of complete satisfaction.
I would like to note that the film "It" is a reference horror film, combining an exemplary plot, well-chosen cast and an extremely attractive killer clown.
Director: Andy Muschetti
Year: 2017
