hearts race and make us wish we had
company
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
movies you shouldn't watch alone for
this list we're highlighting frightening
horror movies and a few films from other
genres that are simply too disturbing to
watch by yourself
number 10 The Strangers there are few
things more terrifying than masked
intruders because they usually arrive
with some type of sharp object and they
always mean business no sure in this
horror flick Scott Speedman and Liv
Tyler star as two lovers on the road to
a romantic getaway in bryan bertino film
but things get ugly after a failed
proposal oh and when strangers appear
with masks on their heads creepy sounds
cryptic messages and a trio of psychos
ready to slice and dice the surprised
couple are just a few of the elements
that make this a terrifying rental
choice
[Music]
[Applause]
just try watching it alone you'll spend
more time watching the window
because here at home number nine the
conjuring well very powerful demonic has
latched itself onto her you know that
you probably picked the wrong home to
move into when your dog mysteriously
dies during your first few days and
spirits begin to express a desire to end
you well we've been called demonologists
it's one name for us Ghost Hunters
paranormal researchers folks such was
the case in the conjuring where Patrick
Wilson and Vera Farmiga star as
real-life ghost investigators attempting
to stop an entity from committing bloody
murder we are beyond terrified we don't
know what's going on or what to do can
you help us yes we can you know the
drill exorcisms horrible screams slow
insanity but James Juan's film offered
much more than the usual genre
shenanigans it made people paranoid and
afraid of being slaughtered by a smiling
yet torn up doll named Annabelle
number eight paranormal activity so so
this is call it a Hawking has happened
to you before moving into this house yes
this found-footage flick made audiences
wet their pants and Blaine loved ones
for spilling soda in the theater it
seems to me that that's what we're
dealing with something that's basically
connected to you when Katy and Mika move
into a new San Diego pad a collection of
odd events inspire them to set up
cameras you stop following me with the
camera solve the problem well katie
stares at her sleeping husband for two
hours and later gets pulled out of the
room
[Music]
to make matters worse the demon gets all
kinky and starts biting for Katy sorry
looks like something bit you what
happens next will shock you and it does
involve blood we talk about grown men
may have acted tough during screenings
but they gently clutched their pillows
before going to bed later on number
seven alien ash can you see this yes I
can
aliens aren't real right right that was
the question posed by terrified
moviegoers to their loved ones in 1979
everybody loves a swell sci-fi story and
Ridley Scott's alien is one of the best
while a space crew makes their way home
something odd transpires meaning a
rather motivated alien begins killing
people you thought the laws of science
might ruin the day did you nope it was a
seven-foot extraterrestrial monster with
a thirst for human blood
even though the human race hasn't
actually made contact with aliens that
we know of movie goers still checked
under the bed for a beast waiting to
destroy them after they finished
watching this flick well let's talk
about killing it we know it's using the
air shafts will you listen to me partner
number six
funny games it's all fun and games until
someone starts breaking eggs and kills
the family dog fuzzy in me Kyle kanakas
original 1997 film a wealthy Austrian
family goes on vacation only to be
interrupted by too enthusiastic guests
that's when the [ __ ] hits the fan the
intruders challenge the horrified family
to a game of life and death and it
doesn't go so well for Papa George Young
Georgie and Mama Anna do you think it's
enough I mean you want a real ending
right with plausible plot development
don't you as you might expect
hanukkah's 2007 shot-for-shot American
remake was equally dark and made people
rethink their morning breakfast I don't
want to be a part of it number 5 wreck
it all started when little Jennifer
hurls all over her mother
[Applause]
this real-time Barcelona shot horror hit
theaters in 2007 and featured a most
unusual night shift for a TV reporter
and her cameraman
as the sickness takes hold of the
community another shocking truth is
revealed and well it's not a good one
the brutal realism was so terrifying
that grown men chose romantic comedies
in place of this Spanish nightmare
nobody wants to be snatched up and taken
to hell
at least it's not on our bucket list
number four The Grudge seems that the
son killed his wife and then himself
based on the 2002 Japanese film Jew
owned this Sam Raimi produced flick
reminded everybody that a horrific death
filled with rage or sorrow does not
signify the end death becomes a part of
that place
kid in everything it touches with a
nonlinear plot The Grudge chronicles
numerous stories of turbulent deaths and
the cycle of horror that ensues
sarah michelle gellar stars as an
American exchange student who comes face
to face with the seemingly unfaithful
departed the woman who was murdered in
that house three years ago knew this man
he committed suicide the morning after
she died the concept of the grudge is
inherently shocking but the visuals are
simply on another level watch this movie
alone and you will regret it because
you'll accidentally claw up your own
couch
[Applause]
number three the ring forwards samara
and the television
this remake of a 1998 Japanese film left
an imprint on all who watched as the
very premise highlighted the horror that
comes from watching a mysterious video
of Redrum Naomi Watts stars as a
protective mother who attempts to break
the cycle of death by solving a murder
case and thus saving everybody from
lonely VHS deaths but I do I'm sorry
it won't stop the ring was the first of
several Japanese adaptations in modern
times and was responsible for inspiring
lonely moviegoers to call their best
friends to whisper seven days into the
phone thus ruining their Friday night
plans who watches the ring alone hey you
got a yeah don't do that mojo ha let's
just don't number two the Blair Witch
Project have you ever heard of the Blair
Witch as one of the most successful
indie films of all time and a defining
film of the found-footage genre The
Blair Witch Project was a national
mystery upon release after immediately
acknowledging the disappearance of three
students the filmmakers spun a dramatic
tale of a Maryland witch and a brilliant
internet marketing campaign led
audiences to believe the film was a
genuine documentary the frightening
ending has since become iconic and made
us believe that anything is possible
when it comes to the supernatural before

number one The Exorcist
tell me if you feel a vibration
it's the ultimate horror film that has
it all you're gonna die up there

religion and archaeology it wasn't

Exorcist wasn't just unbelievably scary
