The goal of horror movies has always been the same: to entertain their audiences by scaring them. Fans of the genre love sitting back with a bowl of popcorn and letting these movies do what they do best. They may not be for everyone, but horror movies, especially the ones considered masterpieces, are among the most effective ways to get some satisfying chills whenever the mood strikes. However, as the genre has evolved over time, one fact has become increasingly clear: there is more than one way to scare people.

While shocking jump scares and gross amounts of gore may both be highly effective at scaring viewers, they can just as easily deter a large portion of their audience. Many film lovers enjoy the thrills of a good horror movie, but don't find pleasure in these particular elements whatsoever. Fortunately, many popular horror subgrenes implement a different device to scare their audiences: suspense.

Robert Eggersis a horror master who has proven his ability to masterfully weave a terrifying scene time and time again. First making his A24 horror movie debut with 2015's The Witch, the visionary director quickly earned a deserved reputation as one of the premiere modern voices in the genre. Following up his folk horror masterpiece with the Lovecraftian thrill ride The Lighthouse and the Viking age revenge flick The Northman, Eggers has continued to churn out some truly unsettling sequences.

Compared to most horror directors, Robert Eggers' best movies are able to do a lot with very little. Without showing all too much directly horrifying imagery, Eggers is able to stir up screams through his brilliant direction alone, using breathtaking performances and chilling cinematography to convey an unmistakable sense of dread and fear. Hopefully, Eggers' upcoming Nosferatu remake can continue to fill out his filmography with terrifying moments.

To find out all about this underseen horror thriller, check out the video embedded above!

P2 has the following synopsis: It’s Christmas Eve. The last employee to leave her office, ambitious corporate climber Angela arrives in the deserted parking garage only to discover her car won’t start. She’s relieved when Thomas, a seemingly friendly security guard, comes along and offers to help. Unable to get the engine to start, he invites Angela to share a small Christmas meal with him. She laughs off the invitation...

This is not your garden-variety horror picture -- its scares stem from primal guilt and fear of supernatural demons and devils that we can't entirely dismiss because people still believe in them enough to do terrible things.

I don't find most modern horror pictures scary. The ones that scare usually do so with ideas, reaching beyond our defenses to find and exploit a personal weakness.

“Dost thou remember that I love thee?”

The Witch is a searing emotional calamity of a film. Its scope is at once frighteningly vast and achingly intimate, its themes of societal violence and perversion borne out in miniature through the collapse of a desperate Calvinist family struggling to survive their self-imposed exile on the American frontier. While religious hysteria drives the sense of inevitable doom and insecurity on which the film trades, it feeds in turn on a surprising source. Love, the genuine love that exists between members of a close-knit family, and a sense of flawed but deep-seated goodness in the film’s driving personality, give The Witch its particular heartbreaking strength. Horror thrives on violations of the status quo, and this...

Chicago – We perpetuate our fears through many sources. All mythology, religion and politics are based on what is “unknown” in our lives, and the desire to placate what frightens us is how we invent and worship those entities. This is all explored in the new film, “The Witch.”

Rating: 4.5/5.0

There is horror in this story, a mix of natural and supernatural elements that plague a family of British Puritan settlers in the 17th century, in the New World of America. But the horror is also based in doubt, when the land and nature conspires against survival. This doubt morphs to darkness, and that lack of light is not healed through the extreme Christian faith of the family. “What is in the woods?” “Why is my body changing, and why is that accompanied with feelings previously not known?” “Where is our God?” It must be a supernatural power, it must be a witch.

While the studio system has more or less given up on truly attempting to put out thought provoking horror films, the independent circuit has really picked up the slack over the past handful of years. As many of you know, I raved often last year about It Follows, with many being huge fans of The Babadook the year before that. This year, we’re getting a top tier title early, as Robert Eggers’ movie The Witch is coming to theaters this week. Truly a horse of a different color, this is likely to do very well, finding a potential sweet spot between period character study and overt fright flick. Ever since it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, it’s been building a solid core of strong reviews and fandom, so don’t expect this one to disappear quickly. The film is a period piece set in 1600’s New England,...
