WATCHcanon1408
2007 · USA/UK · 106m
John Cusack alone in a hotel room for most of the running time, and it is the best single-location King film.
WATCHcanonCrimson Peak
2015 · USA/Canada · 119m
Del Toro doing full gothic romance. The house is the best thing in it and it is sinking.
WATCHcanonPoltergeist
1982 · USA · 110m
A suburban family, a television, and a chair-stacking sequence that has never stopped being copied.
WATCHcanonParanormal Activity
2007 · USA · 87m
15,000 dollars into 193 million, and a decade of imitators nobody asked for.
WATCHcanonInsidious
2010 · USA/Canada · 102m
Wan's best jump scares and the film that built the modern haunting industry. The Further is silly and it works.
WATCHcanonThe Others
2001 · USA/Spain · 101m
A twist that survives a second viewing, which is rarer than it sounds.
WATCHcanonThe Conjuring
2013 · USA · 112m
Old-fashioned, extremely well made, and the reason there are now nine of these.
WATCHcanonThe Shining
1980 · UK/USA · 144m
King hated it. Everyone else was right. The geography of the hotel is deliberately impossible.
WATCHcanonThe Sixth Sense
1999 · USA · 107m
The twist made it famous and the film does not need it. It is about a boy nobody believes and a marriage that ended.
