Sleeve art for Evil Dead IIWATCHcanon

Evil Dead II

1987 · USA · 85m

Half remake, half sequel, and it turns the first film into slapstick without losing the nastiness.

Sleeve art for The OmenWATCHcanon

The Omen

1976 · USA/UK · 106m

A film about a man realising his son is not his. Jerry Goldsmith won the Oscar and earned it.

Sleeve art for InsidiousWATCHcanon

Insidious

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.

Sleeve art for Rosemary's BabyWATCHcanon

Rosemary's Baby

1968 · USA · 137m

A film about a woman whose body and doctor and husband are all making decisions without her.

The Evil Dead

1981 · USA · 85m

Prosecuted dozens of times and won more often than it lost. Raimi was 21 and it shows in the best way.

Sleeve art for The ConjuringWATCHcanon

The Conjuring

2013 · USA · 112m

Old-fashioned, extremely well made, and the reason there are now nine of these.

Sleeve art for The ExorcistWATCHcanon

The Exorcist

1973 · USA · 122m

Ten Academy Award nominations and ambulances outside cinemas. Still the commercial ceiling for horror.
