10 Martyrs (2008)
If you have heard of Martyrs, you might have been scared off by rumors of how dark and disturbing this film is. Before you watch it, be prepared for grisly horror and horrific amounts of torture and gore. If that doesn’t scare you off, then you should give Martyrs a chance.
Be sure you watch the original version rather than the U.S. remake. The movie follows two young girls who were horrifically abused as children and their bloody journey for revenge. The movie goes to the truly dark and depraved corners of humanity.
9 Suspiria (1977)

Suzy eventually learns that the school is run by a vicious coven that worships the Three Mothers. But you’ll find the movie is one of the most twisted in horror. It’s a classic. If you like, you can also watch the 2018 remake starring Dakota Johnson, it’s also very good, and stylistically different than the original.
8 Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Bride of Frankenstein is a legitimate classic. The film has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and in general, has received critical acclaim from film critics. Even though you might have seen the original Frankenstein film, there is a chance you might have missed out on the Bride of Frankenstein.

6 The Haunting (1963)
Have you ever read The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson? If so, you may have seen the Netflix version of the series. The Netflix version is excellent but it’s not necessarily an exact adaptation of the book. This movie is the original adaptation of and it’s a fantastic film and considered a horror masterpiece.
You’ll follow Theo, Nell, Luke, and Doctor Markway as they move into Hill House and begin to study it for supernatural phenomena. Again, this movie is all about the suspense as it is a psychological horror film. But everyone should watch it at least once.
