But a young priest, a detective, and a simple laborer deftly steer the investigation in the direction of reality. Darkness, death, and the evil one are all just lies, pretense, amnesia, and calculation.

Throughout the series, there are puzzle pieces that the viewer will have to piece together by the end of the season. These are eight interesting pieces that the viewer will have to look for in each episode.

A legend more than four centuries old comes to life in one of the scariest ghost horror movies, The Curse of La Llorona. La Llorona is a weeping woman grieving for her children. A long time ago, she drowned them with her own hands, and then took her own life as well. A fierce jealousy clouded the desperate mother’s mind.

Since then, the evil spirit wanders the world, taking the souls of innocent children in the hope of bringing back her own. Having moved from Mexico to Los Angeles, she wanders the new land, spreading the fruit of her curse. And God forbid to hear her cries, for the tears of the weeper do not dry up and bring death.

Remarkably, this work came out from the hands of a different director, but is part of James Wan’s “The Conjuring” series. However, the film is rated rather coldly by critics all over the world, although the story of La Llorona is popular.

It’s just the two of them: don’t let anyone in the house and always be in their own bed by midnight.

Who taught the children this? Not their parents: they passed away of their own free will many years ago. So did their parents, and so did many generations in a row. The custody and upbringing of the two orphans is taken care of by certain residents who live under the building. Under their influence, the brother has convinced himself that he is never going to leave the estate. But the sister has other plans: she meets a guy…

So, a large family, moving into a new house, almost immediately felt the presence of something evil. Lorraine confirmed their fears by telling the story of an evil landowner who made an alliance with the devil. Her curse falls on anyone who tries to take possession of her land. The spirited spirits enlist helpers to fight the evil. Meanwhile, the spirit tries to break the weakest member of the family.

Trying to find the murderer and to make sense of the veracity of the local legends, he becomes immersed in dangerous and bloody action. This spectacle is definitely being directed by someone.

Without realizing it, the writer launched a dangerous mechanism and condemned his family to certain death.

Looking for quality ghost horror movies? We invite you to watch the thriller “The Woman in Black” of 2012.

At the end of the 19th century, progress seems to be in place, but people still experience horror and numbness before inexplicable mystical events. Widower Arthur Kipps, on the assignment of a law firm, goes to a distant English village, leaving his four-year-old son with a kind nanny. The essence of his case is to make a list of all the deceased landlord’s papers.

Everything about the place is too bleak: the scenery, the weather, the inhabitants, and even the children. Later, though, Arthur realizes that it is their cold hospitality that is connected to a chilling legend. A mysterious woman in black roams around, and whoever encounters her is doomed.

The son of the main character is actually Daniel Radcliffe’s godson. The actor personally brought him to the casting, insisting on the boy’s candidacy. That’s why the father-son relationship was portrayed so authentically.

The family moves to another house. It is closer to the hospital than their previous residence. The fact is that the son has been diagnosed with cancer, so constant treatment and medical supervision are needed. Their already unhappy situation, both financially and psychologically, is further marred by the fact that the new home has a creepy history.

Heartbreaking screams come from the basement, and the guy seems to have become obsessed and completely succumbed to the power of the sinister house.

The movie is based on a true story investigated by the same Ed and Lorraine Warren (“The Conjuring”). Although in the movie the house burns down in the finale, in real life it is still standing in the same place where it was. It was decided to put the fire in the script for the sake of credibility.

In “Grave Encounters,” we are shown participants in a TV show who hunt for ghosts. For the sake of thrills and high ratings, the desperate guys are willing to stay all night in a building shrouded in scary legends.

Abandoned mental hospital at first does not make any disturbing impression: the stripped walls, dark corridors, quiet rooms and doctors’ offices. It seems like an ordinary, empty building, but at some point the guests discover an ominous presence.

Participants of the show thought to show on camera struggle with imaginary spirits and poltergeist, but they had to actually confront the restless souls of the inhabitants of the madhouse.

This pseudo-documentary was shot in ten nights and two days.

  • Director: Andre Ovredahl
  • Starring: Emile Hirsch, Brian Cox, Ophelia Lovibond, Michael McElhatton, Oluen Catherine Kelly, Parker Sawyers, Jane Perry, Eve O’Hara

The horror film “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” is guaranteed to be one of your personal top ghost horror stories. Father and son are in their third generation of sending people to their final destination. The Tildens maintain a private morgue and crematorium.

Day after day, they wash traces of death off bodies, perform autopsies, record medical reports that sometimes help the investigation, and send the “guests” to their place of permanent residence – in the ground. Though some are sometimes burned.

An ordinary shift, evening. A familiar inspector shows the morgue workers a female corpse. The identity is unknown, how the girl died is unclear, and she was found under very strange circumstances.

The coroners have until the next morning to find out the cause of death. But Jane Doe won’t reveal anything about herself. Even her father’s extensive experience and his son’s diligence will not help break the deadlock.

It is noteworthy that Stephen King himself was so impressed by the film that he compared it to the early Cronenberg and the Aliens series of films.

  • Starring: Arjel Chavarria, Maximiliano Guione, Norberto Gonzalo, Hugo Albrich, George L. Lewis, Elvira Onetto, Agustin Rittano, Damian Salomon, Natalia Señorales, Julieta Vallina

In a quiet neighborhood, a chilling event takes place. A young man is disturbed by the noise coming from the house next door. Angry that he is being kept awake, he tries to get through to the troublemaker. However, he was unsuccessful. When he returned, he was horrified to find his girlfriend dangling through the air in the bathroom and hitting the walls, dead…

A little boy, just buried after a car accident, rises from his grave and comes to his family home. He is frozen like this, sitting at the dinner table with a glass of milk in his hand.

Another resident of the same neighborhood tries to find out what is going on in his house while he sleeps at night. After setting up a camera, he discovers that there is apparently some kind of portal in the room behind the wall from which a terrifying creature sneaks in every night.

It is interesting that the budget of the picture was limited, and all the special effects were created by hand. The creators didn’t resort to computer graphics. Most likely, that’s what made the movie so realistic, creepy and really scary.

Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity
  • IMDB Rating – 6.3
  • Genre: horror, detective
  • Production: U.S.A. / Movie series, 2007 – 2015
  • Budget: $15,000
  • Worldwide box office: $193,355,800
  • Director: Oren Peli
  • Starring: Kathy Featherston, Mika Slott, Mark Fredericks, Amber Armstrong, Ashley Palmer, Crystal Cartwright, Randy McDowell, Tim Piper

Of all the pseudo-documentary horrors about spirits, “Paranormal Activity” deserves special attention. A young couple lives in a house and at times feels an invisible presence. Everything began with the movement of objects and sleepwalking. To record the unusual events, Mika buys a video camera, sets it up in the bedroom and waits for the arrival of the evil spirit on goat legs.

At first not taking the entity seriously, the guy notices Katie’s anxiety and some increase in paranormal activity. Not out of the blue, the young people cling to any possible way to get rid of it: they invite a priest, buy a Ouija board, try to remember when the demon began to get close to the victim and why.

Interestingly, Steven Spielberg was the producer of the film. Either because of this, or simply because of the high quality of the picture and the really scary moments, “Paranormal Activity” repeated the success of “The Blair Witch Project”.пех «Ведьмы из Блэр».
