Most Stylish Shots in Horror

04-17-2003, 02:20 AM

What would you say are the top ten or so most stylish shots/scenes out of all the horror films you've seen?

In no particular order mine are:

01. "Resident Evil" - laser room
02. "Suspiria" - lightbulb shot in Suzy's room
03. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" - the fiery footprints appearing
04. "Child's Play" - Catherine Hicks running down the stairs after the elevator
05. "Session 9" - the nictophobe being chased by the failing lights
06. "Carrie" - prom massacre
07. "Opera" - peephole murder
08. "Phenomena" - the opening murder
09. "Candyman" - Helen being committed
10. "They" - final scene
11. "Halloween" - closet attack
12. "The Ring" - ferry scene
13. "Friday the 13th" - Jason attacking Alice

no particular order.

1 - Demons 2 - when that birthday girl turns into a demon and she turns around. That is an awesome shot!
2 - Prince of Darkness - The finger reaching to mirror at the end... just looks so symmetrical.
3 - Opera - The panning up and around when we first see the Opera house from below.
4 - Evil Dead - That camera going over Bruce Campbells head from behind.
5 - Nonhosonno - the end with the baddy and the bullet and face and stuff.

6 - Halloween - When Laurie is sitting at the doorway and Micheal sits up behind her. Supoib!!

Thats about all I can think of right now.

The TENEBRE wall crawl comes to mind.

Oh ya, that shot in Tenebre also with Detective Germanni when he bends down to pick up the napkin thing... awesomeness!!

tenebre was the first thing that popped into my head too.

also the Texas Chainsaw Massacre ending, with leatherface swinging the chainsaw. And the 360 degree camera turn in Evil Dead 2...and the laughing room scene. the comic bookish ending to Uzumaki.

New York Ripper- The inside the slashed throat shot. Very impressive!

04-17-2003, 03:23 AM

Forgot the shot through the cheeks in THE STENDHAL SYNDROME. That rocked.

Blow Out - The several 360's around the sound room when Travolta is playing all his tapes.
Pyscho - Overhead shot in shower.
The Shinny - Jack leaning on the pantry door yelling at Wendy.
The Thing - Dog walking down the hall looking into each room.

04-17-2003, 03:55 AM

Ah also from THE SHINING - the long hall dolly shot when the guy is showing Jack and his family around the lobby and what not. I love that. Danny on his trike is awesome too, you just keep going around corners seeing more and more carpets and doorways and then BAM!

04-17-2003, 03:59 AM

I'm going to add the elevator/blood/Wendy scene in The Shining. To me that makes the movie worth watching.

04-17-2003, 05:03 AM

Almost all of the deaths in Evil Dead Trap instantly come to mind.

One that hasn't been mentioned is the final shot in Herzog's NOSFERATU, THE VAMPYRE. Amazingly effective shot that one is.

I prefer the opening of AGGUIRE. The end of COBRA VERDE is top notch as well. And NOSFERATU running through the town. What can I say? Herzog rocks.

rhett · 04-17-2003, 06:29 AM

The last shot in AGUIRRE is my favorite from that film. Herzog's films are just beautiful to look at, period!
