There are few more subjective categories than the Top 25 Greatest Horror Movies. In thinking about my own top 25, and trying to stay objective, I found myself struggling with movies that scared the hell out of me, movies that thrilled me with original horror and even films so disturbing I would never watch them again. Of the ones that were truly great, some gave me great laughs and some made me jump in my seat. One even made me crawl under my seat as a child. Some were so horribly real that they caused me nightmares and heart palpitations. The ones that didn’t will be on someone else’s list.

No. 25: Zombieland

The newest horror film on the list, Zombieland is funny far more than scary, but a great film for all that. This is a megamovie with one great cameo and 90+ minutes of great action. The originality, disgusting violence and unlikely characters make Zombieland one of the best funny scary movies as well. You might want to sneak in some Twinkies, I so wanted one by the end of the film. Take a pen, too. You might want to write down the Zombieland rules before you leave. Ya’ never know. Oh, and start up the cardio, these Zombies are quick. READ MORE

Great idea, unique implementation and brilliant examples of death’s unique talent for demise; The Final Destination has none of these. Final Destination, the original film, was unique, had an original plot, fascinating story elements and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately the Destination series has run its course and then some.

The Final Destination is not even a good attempt. Even the 3D gimmick doesn’t work; I’ve seen adult films made in 3D with better direction, action and even plot. Jaws: 3D was better. The Final Destination begins with the typical disaster: a horrible car crash, only there’s someone who foresees the disaster, this time young Nick O’Bannon (Bobby Campo).

Nick manages to convince his friends of their imminent danger getting them to run out of the stands seconds before the structure lands on them only, there's a problem. Death apparently is rather petty and gets pissed, not just taking the souls missed but brutally and sickeningly. Only, apparently, the grim reaper has a few rules: the souls must be taken in order. Why this is, only God knows, for the audience has no clue. READ MORE
