Kurzbeschreibung
As any horror fan knows, the genre isn't limited to ghouls, blood, and gore, but is as broad as cinema itself. Discover the haunting pull of 'the other side' in movies like "The Sixth Sense", "Cat People", "Poltergeist" and "Don't Look Now". Brave the perils of nature in "Jaws", "The Birds", and "Alien". Learn that people aren't always as they seem, as in "Dr. Jekyll" and "Mr. Hyde", "Peeping Tom", "Psycho", and "The Shining". Confront evil in human form - "The Last House on the Left", "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", "Friday the 13th" - and in its purer distillation in "Rosemary's Baby", "The Omen" and "The Exorcist"."101 Horror Films You Must See Before You Die" gives you a thorough appreciation of the genre, because it approaches the subject chronologically. You'll move through gothic classics like James Whale's "The Old Dark House" (1932) and Terence Fisher's "Dracula" (1958), to zombie movies like "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) and "28 Days Later" (2002). All the sub-genres are covered too, from "Eyes Without a Face" (mad scientist), "The Howling" (werewolf), "Nightmare on Elm Street" (slasher), to "The Silence of the Lambs" (serial killer). And you'll learn that it's not just American teenagers who are horror-film fodder. There are classic horror films from Japan ("Onibaba"), Russia("Vij"), Italy ("Suspiria"), France ("Les Diaboliques"), Belgium ("Man Bites Dog"), Germany ("M"), and the Netherlands ("The Vanishing"). Immerse yourself in the most compelling of movie genres. Prepare to be possessed - and whatever you do, don't answer the phone.

Gives away the endings!!
6. September 2009
Would you believe this stupid book gives away surprise endings! First I noticed it spoiled the ending of Night of the Living Dead by revealing the final unexpected fate of the main character. It also gave away the endings to Carnival Of Souls and the Exorcist. Then it gave away the surprise twist ending in The Sixth Sense (of all movies to spoil!!!) When you consider that the purpose of this book is to describe movies that the reader has presumably not seen yet, it just makes it that much more ridiculous to spoil the endings.
Another problem (as if it needed another one) is that the reviews are for the most part a bunch of pretentious psychobabble - focusing mainly on the social and cultural significance of the films. That's all find and dandy but if you are just an ordinary horror fan like I am who just wants to learn about some good horror films that you didn't know about, this is definitely a book you will want to avoid.

You gotta be 'blank'in kidding me!
12. Mai 2009
I'm a pretty positive guy & would normally only take the time to review something favorably. But in this case, I felt I had to say something. How can you list 101 horror films to see and not include, arguably the greatest horror film of all time, John Carpenter's The Thing? With groundbreaking effects & scene after classic scene, this glaring omission really nullifies the entire book. And where's Peter Jackson's Dead Alive?, often cited as the bloodiest movie ever. And Final Destination? Speaking as a true horror afficionado, the FD films are prime recent examples of the creative death films, began w/ Mario Bava's Twitch of the Death Nerve (another omission) & The Omen.
Everyone will have their quibbles w/ favorites omitted, but Carpenter's The Thing is unforgivable. It makes you wonder what kind of fan/expert the author could possibly be to ignore one of the premier examples of the genre you're covering.
