My most memorable thriller/horror moments
Don't mistake the fact that they're on my list for a recommendation. Read the comments; there are movies on here that I hated, but something stuck with me...
These movies aren't gems of cinematic ingenuity, they aren't the most fun movies ever seen, and some of them aren't even all that good... but if they're on this list, they made an impact on me, for better or worse.
My ratings system - if I enjoyed a movie and don't feel like it was a waste of time, but it had no real redeeming value other than vague entertainment, it generally gets a 5.
Here they are, in no particular order... and remember, I'm always up for horror/thriller recommendations!
