![]() ![]() But let this list of the greatest horror movies ever made repudiate the idea that the genre has ever been of lesser value than others. Visionary auteurs like Ari Aster and Jordan Peele, and leftfield hits like A Quiet Place, It Follows and Get Out have brought horror to a higher standing in the cinematic universe. Only recently has that started to change. But that phenomenon had a generational trickle-down effect, staining even the smarter, more artful entries with the taint of schlock. Particularly in the 1970s and ’80s, the genre became a magnet for hacks and hucksters looking to make a quick buck via the burgeoning VHS video by crapping out a script and dousing horny teens in gallons of stage blood. Horror movies have rarely got the respect they deserve.
