1) The Eye

This Hong Kong and Singaporean horror film tells the story of a woman who could see mysterious apparitions after getting a pair of eyes transplant as she was blind since she was young. Watching this will make you think twice of getting on the elevator ever again.

Oh it’s just water leaks in the old apartment. What could go wrong? There’s nothing to worry about. But when you started seeing a little girl in yellow raincoat around your scary, old apartment corridors, that would be the perfect time to flee and call a priest. Yikesssss.

Okay, let’s take a breather from those terrifying hauntings and paranormal stuffs and look into this monster horror movie instead. The Host is South Korean monster movie, that was beautifully written and produced with spookiness at every corner, and the design of the creature was eerily horrid and scary as hell.

So we have come to number six. Erm… A child that makes meow voice and his mother that makes cracking voice who kills their victims and scares the audience so creatively, that both of them could get a master certificate in scare tactics. No more blankets during my sleep so moving on! Sorry I really don’t have the guts to attach pictures here as it really gave me some nightmarish sleeps. Eeekkkkk!
