This one is one of the strangest movies among all horror flicks. The story tells about the skinless man, who was accidentally returned from the dead by his brother. This guy needs human blood in order to fully restore himself to life, so he convinces his in-life-girlfriend to help him. The young beautiful lady lures men to her house and then murders them. But the weirdest part starts when her creepy undead boyfriend is restored to life.

7. The Grudge
It’s actually an American remake of a Japanese horror movie, which features the nurse who takes care of a patient with dementia in her house. She witnesses a horrifying ghost attack.

8. The Descent
A group of girls decide to explore caves on their vacation. Their expedition takes a turn for the worse after a rock fall entraps them in an uncharted cave with no map and just a handful of supplies.

Insidious
As a cliché, the story starts with a family moving into a new house. The oldest son Dalton decides to explore the attic, but falls down and lands on his head. Despite a few bumps and bruises, the boy seems fine at first, but the next morning he fails to wake up. He’s taken to the hospital immediately, but the doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong with the kid. He’s not in a coma, he just can’t wake up. His mother loses sleep, she sees anonymous eyes upon her.
The Conjuring
This is a real masterpiece from the master of the modern horror flick James Wan. Despite the pestering plot about the family in the secluded haunted house, the movie is still really scary, beautiful-looking and completely engrossing. Almost all the effects in The Conjuring were created practically on set rather than via CGI, which makes the movie look more realistic.
