Top Horror Movies of 2006
Top Horror Movies of 2006 include such movies like Slither, The Omen, and Saw III. Horror movies seem to be at an all time high and the box office numbers seem to be high with most of these movies. Here are some of those top movies of that year.
In my opinion one of the best top horror movies of 2006 was from the UK and titled The Descent. The movie is directed by Neil Marshall the man behind Dog Soldiers. It is about a group of women that go on extreme adventures and this one lands them in a cave and they end up not being alone. The movie uses the environment and lighting to give us the creeks from the beginning. The movie creates a claustrophobic feeling from the start. I can’t wait to see what Marshall has up his sleeve in the future.
Another one of the top horror movies of 2006 was the remake to The Omen. This movie is a remake of the 1976 classic starring Gregory Peck. The remake wasn’t quite as good as the original but it still gave some good scares. The remake stars Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber. The Omen is about the son of a politician that could be the devil incarnate. As the movie unfolds with horrifying events surrounding the child the parents learn the secrets of the child.
One of the most successful horror series in recent years and some people’s favorite top horror movies are the Saw movies. The killer Jigsaw makes horrific traps for all the victims. Before Saw III even came out it easily was one of the top horror movies of 2006 with all the buzz around it. The movies started a trend of movies about torture and entered graphic violence that hadn’t been mainstreamed yet. The series will release another coming up in 2008. If you are a fan of gore and nasty devices then these movies are for you.
One of the best and funniest top horror movies of 2006 is the movie Slither. About an alien slugs that turn people into mutant zombies. This one stars the great Nathan Fillion, who starred in the Firefly series and the movie Serenity. The movie plays out like a B-Movie, with a lot of slime and laughs. Director James Gunn I’m sure had a bunch of fun creating this film. If you are a fan of zombie movies this is definitely one to see.
Another remake that was released in 2006 was The Hills Have Eyes. The movie is about a family stuck in the desert that is terrorized by mutated humans due to a nuclear fallout. It stars Emilie de Ravin from the hit TV show Lost. This update of Wes Craven’s version is definitely made for those that love gory horror movies. It was directed by Alexandre Aja who received praise for his horror movie High Tension.
Those are just some of the Top Horror Movies of 2006. Check back for more information and lists of top horror movies.
