Horror is arguably the most versatile genre of movies. A good horror movie does what it can to elicit feelings of fear, shock or disgust from its audience. Whether it's copious amounts of gore, jump scares, or establishing a general aura of dread, there are countless methods by which horror movies can frighten their viewers. Effective horror movies attack the senses and play tricks on the mind.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a genuinely chilling supernatural horror movie with plenty of brains. The titular exorcism scene is one of the best in any possession movie; Carpenter is fantastic and almost a little too convincing in the role. The grounded nature of the courtroom elements elevates the sequences of tension and horror, making for an effective genre blend that is most disturbingly based on true events.
Lake Mungo is a criminally underrated found footage and supernatural horror that's as chilling as it is tragic. With an incredibly modest budget, director Joel Anderson weaves a compelling mystery with viscerally scary and convincing found footage. Because of the nature of its structure and narrative, Lake Mungo doesn't give away answers easily, nor does it seem interested in doing it. However, the enigmatic nature of its narrative and dense themes make for a memorably haunting watch.

As Above, So Below is a claustrophobe's worst nightmare in movie form.
