Depressing Ending

TIRED HORROR TROPES THAT STILL WORK DEPRESSING ENDING Classics like 1988's Spoorloos have depressing endings, but also some of the best horror movies of recent times: Kill List, I Saw the Devil, The Descent, It Follows, The Battery, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Invitation, The Gift, and Martyrs. A well-known example is The Mist, but we recommend the underrated Eden Lake as well. CRACKED.COM

UFO Abduction

Horror Classics Then vs. Now UFO Abduction Also known as The McPherson Tape, this zero- budget 1989 found-footage movie is cheesy, but unnerving. It got remade in 1998 as Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County, and both of their reputations remain infamous. CRACKED.COM

CRACKED.COM THE MACHINIST UNDERAPPRECIATED DIRECTORS BRAD ANDERSON For a while now, Anderson has done quirky rom-coms like Next Stop Wonderland and Happy Accidents, but also intense genre flicks like Fractured, Stonehearst Asylum, and Transsiberian. Still, his true gems are the cult horror classic Session 9 and the psychological thriller The Machinist. Skinny Christian Bale? Yup, Anderson's the director behind the meme.

Mid-Film Plot Switch

TIRED HORROR TROPES THAT STILL WORK MID-FILM PLOT SWITCHES We're so used to established genres, that a midway change in genre, plot, or style can feel refreshing and keep us on our toes. Psycho is of course the grandaddy, and Audition and Abre los Ojos go from romcom to psychological horror. Recent examples include/See You, The Perfection, and Mother! CRACKED.COM
