25. THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN (2014)

50. THE RUINS (2008)

75. ANGEL HEART (1987)
A film that was controversial as hell when it released, Angel Heart has since gained a cult following. Telling the story of a private investigator searching for a missing man, only to uncover horrifying occult secrets, this film remains a powerhouse in the 1980s horror genre. Its Lovecraftian influence stems from the unreliable narrative, the madness which ensues for our protagonist, and the occult dealings that determine Harry Angel’s (Mickey Rourke) fate.
74. ANNIHILATION (2018)
Based on the weird novel of the same name…
