Hello my fellow horror fans. Today’s
article will put the spotlight on a genre favourite – I’m talking about serial
killer movies.
Now the formula for the perfect serial killer movie is really
quite simple: a group of teenagers go on a trip to some secluded area where
they are hunted by a blood thirsty maniac and killed off one by one throughout
the span of 90 minutes. Throw in a hot tub scene and some underage drinking and
you’ve got yourself a classic slasher flick. But there are a select few that refuse
to conform to this formula and they are a cut above the rest. Here are the
serial killer movies that we think deserve some more recognition:
The Pact
During the first hour of the movie, The Pact will have you fooled. At first
glance, it doesn’t look like your average serial killer movie – in fact it doesn’t
look like a serial killer movie at all. The mystery and ambiguity of it is what
makes it so unique. Just when you think you’ve got The Pact figured out, they throw in a plot twist that puts M. Night
Shyamalan to shame.
Without giving away too much, I will say that The Pact is the perfect cross-over
between supernatural and serial killer movie, and will have you sitting on the
edge of your seat from beginning to (very unexpected) end.
Hush
In summary, a maniacal killer terrorizes a
woman in her own home. Sounds pretty standard, right? But it's actually far
from it! This woman happens to be deaf and mute, and also incredibly resilient
and brave. What makes it all the more unique is that the whole movie features
only two characters: the killer and the victim.
What we get as a result is a
thrilling battle of wits, unlike any other serial killer movie you've ever
seen. Hush is guaranteed to have your
blood rushing and adrenaline pumping as you yell at the screen non-stop.
