Barry Dodds' 10 Favourite Supernatural Movies For Halloween

So it might be considered a bit hack these days but I still think it's a good film and I really didn't see the plot twist coming. Plenty of shock moments too.

I saw this when there wasn't much hype about it, the slow burn build up and excellent acting draw you inside a terrifying story.

I'd say that I prefer the US remake over the original, a powerful classic, expertly directed, the horse scene on the ferry is heart-poundingly dramatic.

Made by a Christian director, this is far more scary than it has any right to be. Watch this then go on YouTube for the real life photos and audio this is based on. Then never sleep properly again.

While Hollywood was churning our big budget “quiet quiet BANG" movies, this little gem came and took everyone by surprise, an excellent mix of found footage and real scares.

Another movie based on a true story movie but one that continues to shock to this day due to the sexual violence and pounding soundtrack - just avoid the nonsense ending.

Lucio Fulci working at his peak. Ghosts, check. Zombies, check. Uber amounts of gore, check. Plot, nope.

Not the remake but the Pang Brothers original, this is the only film that has ever ever made me jump then continue to be scared to the point of switching the film off. Why are you sitting in my seat?

A lot of people seeking high octane terror missed the point of this but it really does feel like you are watching a piece of evidence in the disappearance of three filmmakers, with an understated ending that remains the most frightening thing I've ever seen on the silver screen.

A classic good vs evil story that has lost none of its power despite the parodies and copycat films. An expertly written and directed movie.
