The 10 Best Directed Horror Movies of All Time, Ranked
There is a level of finesse and craft that goes into the creation and fundamental strengths of horror filmmaking that have made it such a captivating genre for so many generations. Being able to perfectly balance the classic tenets of cinematic storytelling with sequences oozing with tension that are meant to massively scare the audience can be a daunting task, as many films fail to accomplish such a difficult balance.
However, this also serves to make the films that do accomplish this that much more impactful, as a horror film with absolutely perfect direction for its vision can be one of the most impactful and defining cinematic experiences out there. Scaring the audience in one moment and keeping them massively invested in the characters and story in the next, these horror films go above and beyond in terms of providing sheer cinematic bliss and mastery thanks to the genuine craft and impact of their direction.

‘Jaws’ (1975)
Steven Spielberg continues to stand as one of the most prolific and widely acclaimed directors of all time, with his craft and brilliance behind the camera amplifying the weight of many different cinematic masterpieces over the years. However, his often considered first true blockbuster masterpiece, Jaws, continues to be a landmark title for accessible, electrifying horror that still stands as one of the greatest horror movies of all time thanks to his masterful touch.
The film completely revolutionized the animal attack film, thanks in part to the brilliance and impact of Spielberg’s directing style. It adds emphasis and weight to each terrifying, tension-building moment, creating maximum terror out of a shark that is rarely ever actually seen on-screen. It continues to stand as one of horror’s most well-crafted cinematic achievements, having an undeniable legacy that still lingers in blockbuster filmmaking, horror or otherwise.
9
‘Scream’ (1996)
The slasher genre remains one of the most prolific and widely explored subgenres of horror, as the fear of being chased by a ruthless, manic killer has opened the creative floodgates for many horror filmmakers. It has largely reached a point where even the very notions and conventions of slasher filmmaking can be picked apart and satirized within the film itself, which is at the very core of what makes Scream such a timeless, well-crafted horror thriller.
While many other horror satires are quick to lean much more into comedy than actual horror, the directing and precision from Wes Craven do a brilliant job of keeping the film tense and terrifying, even while the screenplay is as witty and hilarious as possible. It’s this masterful pacing and balancing of distinct tones that helped the film completely revolutionize and reintroduce slashers to the public eye in the ’90s, with its on-screen brilliance still having an impact on slashers to this day.
8
‘Sinners’ (2025)
Immediately making a name for itself as a striking, must-watch original horror film of the modern era, Sinners soars to masterpiece status thanks in great part to the inspired directing and craft from director Ryan Coogler. The film is second-to-none in terms of its pristine combination of layered worldbuilding, mesmerizing cinematography and visual craft, and deep-rooted thematic depth that amplifies the scares and action alike. The film became an unstoppable juggernaut of film culture in 2025 for good reason, as Coogler went all out in directing a new modern classic.
While its story and characters are certainly strong enough on their own to make the film worthwhile, it’s the directing and fine-tuned craft under the vision of Coogler’s directing that truly makes Sinners such a special cinematic experience. He takes what he had learned from high-budget franchise blockbusters like Creed and Black Panther in order to concoct an exceptionally original experience tailor-made for the modern era but distinctly in line with his quirks and personality.
7
‘Evil Dead 2’ (1987)
Sam Raimi‘s original Evil Dead was already a widely celebrated exploration of passionate filmmaking, creating something truly distinct and full of personality with an infamously minuscule budget. However, with more experience and resources available for the sequel, Raimi manages to improve upon the Evil Dead formula in every possible way to make Evil Dead 2 one of the all-time greatest horror comedies. Rarely does something so close to a full-on remake of the original film so massively improve upon the original, but Evil Dead 2 struck while the iron was hot and solidified Evil Dead as a horror staple.
The biggest change and distinction that makes Evil Dead 2 such a more well-crafted and impactful horror film comes down to the confidence in Raimi’s filmmaking as a whole. With a better understanding of how to balance scares and comedy to create a beautiful cacophany of gore and madness, Evil Dead 2 consistently goes all out with its unrestrained vision, unafraid to fully commit itself to madness.
6
‘The Fly’ (1986)
The now 40-year-old classic horror remake by legendary master of body horror David Cronenberg, The Fly is still considered to be one of the absolute greats, not just in terms of technical craft and disgustingly perfect visuals, but a pitch-perfect execution from Cronenberg. While the film certainly delivers in terms of the stomach-churning visuals and body horror that Cronenberg is famous for, it’s the slow build into madness and exceptional pacing that sets Cronenberg’s vision apart from any other body horror film.
The film not only improves upon the narrative strength and horror impact of the original sci-fi horror classic, but also implements newfound themes and revelations of depth that only Cronenberg could have brought out of this already classic story. It finds this brilliant balancing act of staying true to what made the original such a classic while also reinventing it for a new audience, amplifying its greatest strengths while still feeling distinctly Cronenberg in nature.
5
‘Halloween’ (1978)
One of the all-time masterpieces of the slasher genre and one of horror’s absolute greatest examples of slow-building tension and dread, Halloween has received a constant stream of adoration and appreciation in the decades since its release. However, among all the strengths and iconic features that have made Halloween such a classic, the most important and defining aspect after all of these years is the exceptional direction by John Carpenter.
Carpenter brings out the tension and scares in Halloween to consistently make it an exploration of true discomfort and impact on the screen. So many of its scares and most impactful moments come directly from the pacing and execution of its directing, even further amplified by Carpenter’s own legendary original score and sound design that adds impact to each moment. While the film has seen a multitude of sequels over the years, the reason why none of them come close to the impact of the original is that they cannot recreate the magic and fine-tuned craft of Carpenter’s perfect directing style.
4
‘The Shining’ (1980)
Stanley Kubrick is one of the biggest names in terms of masterpiece filmmaking, spanning all varieties of genres, with his brilliant Stephen King adaptation, The Shining, proving to be one of the all-time horror greats thanks to his masterful directorial vision. Kubrick is the undeniable linchpin that ties all the madness and symbolic brilliance of the film to life, transforming an already great novel into a horror filmmaking masterclass that continues to influence and impact the genre to this day.
Kubrick’s exceptional visual style and camerawork serve to add weight and impact to the already masterful performances in the film, delivering on the strengths of King’s novel while also adding new layers of symbolic depth from Kubrick’s own vision of the story. While the film was wildly divisive when it was first released, it is now widely acclaimed and celebrated as one of the absolute greatest horror films of the ’80s.
3
‘The Sixth Sense’ (1999)
While M. Night Shyamalan‘s career has certainly been rocky and unpredictable over the years, his masterful work in directing The Sixth Sense and creating a powerful horror mystery masterpiece cannot be taken away from him. The film builds up tension and mystery better than any other horror film of the era, with its exceptional pacing helping create one of the all-time icons of original twists that still shocks audiences over 25 years later.
However, the depth and impact of its story wouldn’t be nearly as effective without the exceptional directing and passion from Shyamalan in every waking moment of the film. He brings out some truly beautiful and layered performances from everyone on-screen, with his signature stylistic choices feeling especially original and unexpected for its era. Even as the allure and charm of Shyamalan’s wild twists have largely worn off for many audiences, The Sixth Sense is still an icon of horror mysteries that is as perfectly directed as it gets.
2
‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991)
Still standing as the only horror film to this day to actually win the Academy Award for Best Director, The Silence of the Lambs is a masterfully concocted crime procedural horror film whose narrative brilliance is amplified in spades by Jonathan Demme. The film does an exceptional job of keeping the audience on the edge of their seats, shocking them with its depraved and sickening concepts, while also balancing this terror with an impassioned side of intellect in its characters and filmmaking.
The definitive ’90s masterpiece took the world by storm in a way few horror films ever could, not shying away from the shocking content of its story while also managing to have mass appeal with general audiences thanks to the perfect execution of its directing. It continues to be celebrated as a pillar of the genre and a frequent display of horror thrillers at their absolute best, being a masterclass of directing and filmmaking even outside the confines of the horror genre.
1
‘Psycho’ (1960)
Alfred Hitchcock‘s overwhelming prowess and legacy as a master of filmmaking precede him, as his signature approach for thrills and tension is unmatched by any other director in film history. Among his legendary filmography of masterpiece after masterpiece, no singular film has had the continued staying power and legacy as his masterful horror icon, Psycho. Psycho continues to stand as the go-to example when considering masterpiece horror classics, with its legacy standing tall thanks entirely to the directing and craft of Hitchcock.
While many film fans will be quick to sing the praises of the film’s infamous shower kill, which became one of the most iconic and influential individual sequences in film history, this manages to do a disservice to the wide array of mastery present within every other aspect of the film. With a generational performance from Anthony Perkins, an unmatched rising tension and dread seeping from the film’s most painful moments, and one of the all-time most iconic endings ever put to film, Psycho will continue to be the blueprint for masterful horror filmmaking that cements Hitchcock as an all-time great.

Jill Biden was outbid for a role on “Heated Rivalry”: 'Guess I won't be heading to the cottage after all'

The second season of the Crave hockey romance drama will begin production this summer.
Madonna returned to Coachella for the first time in over a decade, taking the stage as a surprise guest during Sabrina Carpenter‘s headlining set for the second weekend of the music festival. The unexpected appearance drew a strong reaction from the crowd, reigniting excitement about the pop legend’s enduring stage presence and offering a glimpse of what to expect from her upcoming album.
Maddona Performed Three Songs With Sabrina Carpenter
On April 17, Sabrina Carpenter had a major surprise for fans during her headlining performance of weekend two at Coachella. Midway through her song “Juno,” the music transitions to Maddona’s 1990 hit song “Vogue,” and the Queen of Pop emerged from the stage.
The two singers then performed a duet believed to be from Madonna’s upcoming album, on which Carpenter is reportedly featured. After the song, Madonna expressed her gratitude to Carpenter for inviting her to perform at Coachella, to which the latter replied, “No thanks needed, Madonna. You can have whatever you want.” Madonna then engaged with the audience for a few minutes before performing the iconic song, “Like a Prayer,” which was released in 1989.
After Madonna’s appearance, Carpenter sang three more songs before ending her set.
The Queen Of Pop’s ‘Full Circle Moment’
While talking to the audience, Madonna shared how special the moment was for her, as it had been 20 years since her first performance at Coachella. “So 20 years ago today, I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor Pt. 1’ in America,” she shared, referring to her 10th studio album released in November 2005.
“You can imagine what a thrill it is for me to be back 20 years later in the same boots, the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, the same Gucci jacket. So it’s like a full circle moment, very meaningful for me,” said Madonna.
In 2015, the singer performed as a guest at Drake’s Coachella set, sparking a viral moment when the iconic singer kissed the Canadian rapper. This year marks Madonna’s third appearance at the music festival.
Madonna Talked About Astrology
Madonna has had a long-standing interest in astrology and even reportedly uses it as a guide when collaborating with other people. In 2023, TV producer Ryan Murphy said he lied to Madonna about his birthday on someone’s advice, after being told the singer doesn’t work with Scorpios, which was his zodiac sign. He ended up telling Madonna his mother’s birthday instead, and he was hired.
At Coachella, Madonna pointed out “the new moon of Taurus,” which Carpenter explained, saying, “She’s pointing to me because I’m a Taurus. Just so you guys know.” Madonna then proceeded with a “quick course in astrology,” sharing that people need to work on their communication skills and “avoid confrontations.”
“Because Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Mars is the planet of war. So, in all circumstances for the rest of the month, let’s try to get along, okay?” she explained, before saying that music brings people together.
The Queen Of Pop Released Her New Single
A few days before her Coachella appearance, Madonna teased a new single, “I Feel So Free,” from her new album, giving fans a minute-long tease of the track, which was uploaded on her YouTube channel. On March 17, the full song debuted on the LGBTQ+ station Pride Radio, as reported by NME.
Several hours following her Coachella performance, Madonna released the full track on her YouTube channel. The pop icon’s fans were delighted, with one commenting, “I’M SO GLAD I EXIST AT THE SAME TIME AND SPACE AS MADONNA,” and another adding, “WE’RE SO F-CKING READY FOR THIS NEW ERA!”
Many gave the song positive feedback. As one noted, “The song is totally hypnotic. The sound is insane — it goes hard. the bassline is crazy,” followed by four mind-blown emojis. “Chaotic trance and 90’s vibe… clear vocals and high bass… very attractive dance song… pure Madonna,” another commented.
Madonna’s New Album Is A Sequel To ‘Confessions’
Madonna’s upcoming album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II,” is a sequel to her 2005 album, which featured hits such as “Hung Up,” “Sorry,” “Get Together,” and “Jump.” The new album has the singer reuniting with producer Stuart Price and is described as a high-energy, “spiritual” dance record.
“We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space,” Madonna said in a press release.
“Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II” will be released on July 3.

We’re all patiently waiting for Dune: Part Three to blow our eyeballs off, which means there’s a desperate need for weird sci-fi movies that isn’t being fully satisfied. There’s always Star Wars, but everyone has seen Star Wars, so why not go a little ways off the beaten path? Why not check out Luc Besson’s bizarre 1997 cult classic The Fifth Element?
The sci-fi action film is streaming on Netflix, giving new generations a chance to experience the imaginative future world full of cab drivers, dramatic talk show hosts, and evil industrialists. Okay, that sounds a little dismissive, but the cabs fly, the talk show host works with an alien singer, and the evil industrialist is Gary Oldman in the kind of lovingly deranged performance that he used to give before everyone realized he’s actually a legitimately good actor. The Fifth Element currently has a 71 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 87 percent from users.
What is ‘The Fifth Element’ About?
There’s a terrible evil thing out in space that will do bad things if left unchecked and returns every 5,000 years, with humanity and an alien race called the Mondoshawans uniting over a mysterious weapon that can hold off the evil. It consists of four stones featuring earth, air, fire, and water, along with a human-sized pod that contains the “fifth element.” Unfortunately, a spaceship carrying the “fifth element” is destroyed by the evil Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Oldman).
Luckily, a severed hand is recovered from the wreckage, and the government is able to use sci-fi tech to reconstruct the person it belonged to: A woman called Leeloo, played by Milla Jovovich, who spends a lot of the movie completely baffled by what’s going on while wearing a bizarre outfit made of white straps. She ends up bumping into cab driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), and the two have to work together to save the world by figuring out what the heck this “fifth element” could possibly be.
The adventure eventually takes them to a big alien opera concert, and they meet the aforementioned talk show host, Ruby Rhod (played by Chris Tucker), which is a… memorable part of the movie! Oldman’s Zorg also shows off a fancy gun at one point that’s like five or six guns in one, and it’s a pretty cool physical prop. Speaking of, The Fifth Element has loads of prosthetics and practically created creatures, which was cool at the time and seems even more impressive these days.
The obvious effort that went into making The Fifth Element is a big part of its appeal, with the movie having a weird mythology and a weird future aesthetic that is fairly unique — at least among big-budget mainstream(ish) science fiction. It’s like, imagine if a cheesy Die Hard ripoff were happening in David Lynch’s Dune, and then it was adapted into a cartoon and then adapted back into live-action. And then it all builds to an obvious thematic statement that is either ham-fisted or elegantly simplistic, depending on how you feel about it.

Maren Morris is getting candid about her bisexual journey almost two years after coming out.
Posting via her TikTok account on Wednesday, April 15, the country singer, 36, detailed a “f***ed up” experience she endured during a short-lived same-sex romance.
“I briefly was seeing a woman and I was not looking for anything serious,” Morris recalled in the clip. “I feel like I’m at a point in my life right now where I don’t have that to give. I was very clear about that because I’m all about communication, and she was like, ‘Oh, totally. I’m down.’”
Morris went on to explain she soon realized that the other woman appeared to want something a little more serious than the singer was prepared to offer – and the relationship rapidly went downhill.
“I’m not kidding, within like, three weeks of this completely falling apart, it was lies, threats to my reputation and borderline extortion,” Morris shared.
She added, “It was pretty f***ed up. And for that to be my first experience, it was just so depressing.”
Morris has previously spoken about navigating dating after coming out as bisexual in 2024 following her divorce from fellow singer Ryan Hurd.
@marenmorris bi trauma
“I also have, like, confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman within like two minutes,” Morris said on Betches’ “U Up?” podcast in May 2025. “We’ll be talking about our childhoods. We’ll be talking about the bully when we were 13. We will get into it so quickly. With a guy, that would take like years to get into that trauma.”
The Grammy winner also shared there were sometimes moments of confusion for her when it came to trying to date women.
Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd became parents in March 2020 with the arrival of their son, Hayes. After giving birth, Morris detailed her emergency C-section after 30 hours of labor. “I learned pretty quickly that night that having a plan for bringing a human into the world is a fool’s errand,” she wrote via Instagram. […]
“Sometimes I just love a woman and we’re friends. Then she’s giving me a vibe of, like, she’s gonna kiss me, and I feel like we’re just friends, but I really connect with you on this emotionally deep level,” Morris said. “That’s where I sometimes have the hard delineation of romance versus friendship because women can connect so quickly and easily, which is a magical thing about us, but that’s the comparison, I guess, to dating men.”
Morris finalized her divorce from country singer Hurd in January 2024, three months after filing. The pair were married for five years after meeting in 2013 while cowriting the Tim McGraw song, “Last Turn Home.” Morris and Hurd confirmed they were dating in 2015 and married in Nashville in 2018.
Morris came out as bisexual in June 2024 via a pride post on Instagram, writing at the time, “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+ happy pride 🌈.”

Here’s what happened when the Brat Pack grew up.
Universal and Blumhouse seem to be running out of options as the most bankable genre in the theatrical marketplace lets them down once again. The studios have had a difficult time getting their horror properties to perform at the box office, at a time when audiences appear to be favoring more ambitious projects such as Weapons and Sinners. In the past 18 months, Universal and Blumhouse have delivered a string of box-office underperformers, barring the odd hit like Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The disappointing streak began with Wolf Man, for which they hired director Leigh Whannell to recreate the success of The Invisible Man. But the movie tanked. The curse seems to be continuing, as this week’s new offering, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, is poised to deliver similarly disappointing results.
These movies were conceived after Universal’s $170 million tent-pole The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise, failed to launch an ambitious shared franchise modeled after the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was decided that, instead of producing interconnected movies featuring classic Universal Monsters, standalone features produced on smaller budgets ought to be made instead. And the pivot appeared to pay off, with Whannell’s The Invisible Man grossing more than $140 million worldwide against a reported budget of $7 million in 2020. But every subsequent project — Renfield, which made just $26 million worldwide against a $65 million budget; The Last Voyage of the Demeter, which grossed $21 million worldwide against a $45 million budget; and Wolf Man, which grossed $35 million worldwide against a $25 million budget — has underperformed.
Here’s How Much ‘Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’ Is Eying this Weekend at the Box Office
Cronin’s The Mummy is expected to gross $13 million domestically in its first weekend, against a reported budget of $22 million. This is lower than any previous installment in the franchise, including Cruise’s box-office bomb, which opened with more than $30 million. All three films starring Brendan Fraser grossed at least thrice as much as Cronin’s movie in their respective opening weekends. Fraser and Rachel Weisz are returning for a new installment in that franchise, which seems to be a better bet for Universal. Cronin’s movie opened to mixed reviews and is currently sitting at a 45% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The aggregator website’s consensus reads, “Director Lee Cronin’s take on The Mummy injects some juicy gore and personal stakes into the classic horror setup, but the scares in this gross-out extravaganza get entombed by a padded running time.” Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
