A Bay of Blood

1971 · Italy · 85m

Bava invents the slasher a decade early. Friday the 13th copied two kills outright.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

Tenebrae

1982 · Italy · 101m

Argento's coldest and cleverest. That crane shot earns its reputation.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

The Beyond

1981 · Italy · 88m

Makes no sense whatsoever and is Fulci's best film. Dream logic, fully committed.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

Phantasm

1979 · USA · 89m

A flying silver sphere, a towering undertaker, and dream logic. Nobody has explained it since.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

The Devils

1971 · UK · 112m

A great film about power, still censored fifty years on.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

Zombi 2

1979 · Italy · 91m

A zombie fights a shark. Fulci's splinter shot is still the worst thing here.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

Häxan

1922 · SE/DK · 105m

A 1922 documentary about witchcraft that is also a horror film. Way ahead of itself.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

Deep Red

1975 · Italy · 127m

Argento's best. Goblin's score does half the work and knows it.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

I Spit on Your Grave

1978 · USA · 101m

The most argued-about film on this site. Read the glossary entry before deciding.

Pink Flamingos

1972 · USA · 93m

Divine competes to be the filthiest person alive. The most notorious act in film history closes it.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

Scanners

1981 · Canada · 103m

The exploding head made Cronenberg bankable. The film around it is smarter than that scene.

▶ watch⊘ bannedknown

The Hills Have Eyes

1977 · USA · 90m

Craven's meanest. The suburban family turn out to be the better killers.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Braindead

1992 · NZ · 103m

Jackson before the trilogy. The lawnmower scene ends the argument.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

The Night Porter

1974 · Italy/AT · 118m

A serious, much-argued-about film that producers immediately misread as a template.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

The Wild One

1953 · USA · 79m

Brando's motorcycle gang takes over a town. The film that invented teenage cool and terrified parents.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Dawn of the Dead

1978 · USA/Italy · 127m

A shopping mall, four survivors, and Savini's finest hour.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Freaks

1932 · USA · 64m

Killed Browning's career, banned in Britain for thirty years. Still unclassifiable.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Suspiria

1977 · Italy · 99m

Barely a giallo and barely a plot. Possibly the most beautiful horror film ever shot.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

The Last House on the Left

1972 · USA · 84m

Bergman's Virgin Spring, brutalised. Genuinely unpleasant and knows it. Tonally a mess.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Cannibal Holocaust

1980 · Italy · 95m

A serious film about media atrocity that committed real atrocity.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Mad Max

1979 · Australia · 91m

Made for nothing on public roads. You can feel every dollar missing.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

1974 · USA · 83m

Almost bloodless, and still the most upsetting film here. The heat is the horror.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Friday the 13th

1980 · USA · 95m

Cynical, derivative, and it industrialised the whole form. Savini's finest hour.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

The Evil Dead

1981 · USA · 85m

Prosecuted in Britain. Actually a comedy, though it took years to admit it.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

Night of the Living Dead

1968 · USA · 96m

Made for $114,000 in Pittsburgh. Invented the entire modern genre.

▶ watch⊘ bannedcanon

The Exorcist

1973 · USA · 122m

Plays it entirely straight and takes the theology seriously. Still works.
