Horror Movie

MY FAV

Horror films have been criticized for their graphic violence and are often dismissed as low budget B-movies and exploitation films. Nonetheless, some major studios and respected directors have made forays into the genre. This is a list of the ten greatest horror films of all time.
(P.S- The list doesnt contain new movies)


10. Ringu aka The Ring

After the death of her cousin Tomoko, reporter Reiko hears stories of a videotape that kills everyone who sees it exactly one week after viewing. At first she discounts the rumors, but when she learns that Tomoko's friend (who watched the video with her) died at exactly the same time, she begins to investigate. After viewing the tape herself, strange things start happening, and so she teams up with her ex-husband to try to stop the death clock that has once again begun ticking.

9. Jaws

A Great White Shark decides to make the small beach resort town of Amity his private feeding grounds. This greatly frustrates the town police chief who wants to close the beaches to chase the shark away. He is thwarted in his efforts by the town's mayor who finally relents when nothing else seems to work and the chief, a scientist, and an old fisherman with revenge on his mind take to the sea to kill the beast.

8. Poltergeist

While living an an average family house in a pleasant neighborhood, the youngest daughter of the Freeling family, Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke), seems to be connecting with the supernatural through a dead channel on the televison. It is not for long when the mysterious beings enter the house's walls. At first seeming like harmless ghosts, they play tricks and amuse the family, but they take a nasty turn- they horrify the family to death with angry trees and murderous dolls, and finally abduct Carol Anne into her bedroom closet, which seems like the entrance to the other side

7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

En route to visit their grandfather's grave (which has apparently been ritualistically desecrated), five teenagers drive past a slaughterhouse, pick up (and quickly drop) a sinister hitch-hiker, eat some delicious home-cured meat at a roadside gas station, before ending up at the old family home... where they're plunged into a never-ending nightmare as they meet a family of cannibals who more than make up in power tools what they lack in social skills...

6. Carrie

Carrie White is a shy young girl who doesn't make friends easily. After her class mates taunt her about her horrified reaction to her totally unexpected first period one of them takes pity on her and gets Tommy Ross, her boyfriend and class hunk to invite Carrie to the senior prom. Meanwhile another girl who has been banned from the prom for her continued aggressive behaviour is not as forgiving and plans a trick to embarrass Carrie in front of the whole school. What she doesn't realise is that Carrie is... gifted, and you really don't want to get her angry.

5. Les Diaboliques

The wife and mistress of a sadistic boarding school headmaster plot to kill him. They drown him in the bathtub and dump the body in the school's filthy swimming pool... but when the pool is drained, the body has disappeared - and subsequent reported sightings of the headmaster slowly drive his 'killers' (and the audience) up the wall with almost unbearable suspense...

4. Rosemary's Baby

Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse move into an apartment in a building with a bad reputation. They discover that their neighbours are a very friendly elderly couple named Roman and Minnie Castevet, and Guy begins to spend a lot of time with them. Strange things start to happen: a woman Rosemary meets in the washroom dies a mysterious death, Rosemary has strange dreams and hears strange noises and Guy becomes remote and distant. Then Rosemary falls pregnant and begins to suspect that her neighbours have special plans for her child.

3. Psycho

Marion Crane is a Phoenix, Arizona working girl fed up with having to sneak away during lunch breaks to meet her lover, Sam Loomis, who cannot get married because most of his money goes towards alimony. One Friday, Marion's employer asks her to take $40,000 in cash to a local bank for deposit. Desperate to make a change in her life, she impulsively leaves town with the money, determined to start a new life with Sam in California. As night falls and a torrential rain obscures the road ahead of her, Marion turns off the main highway. Exhausted from the long drive and the stress of her criminal act, she decides to spend the night at the desolate Bates Motel. The motel is run by Norman Bates, a peculiar young man dominated by his invalid mother. After Norman fixes her a light dinner, Marion goes back to her room for a shower...

2. The Exorcist

Blatty's novelization of a real case of possession that happened in a Washington Suburb (Mt. Ranier, MD) puts Regan, an adolescent girl, Living with her mother in Georgetown in Washington, into a more and more difficult situation. She exhibits strange symptoms, including levitation and great strength. When all medical possibilities are exhausted, her mother is sent to a priest who is also a psychiatrist. He becomes convinced that Regan is possessed and he and a second priest experienced in exorcism try to drive the spirit from Regan before she dies. Very graphic for its time.

1. The Shining

Jack Torrance becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel up in the secluded mountains of Colorado. Jack, being a family man, takes his wife and son to the hotel to keep him company throughout the long and isolated nights. During their stay strange things occur when Jack's son Danny sees gruesome images powered by a force called "The Shining" and Jack is heavily affected by this. Along with writer's block and the demons of the hotel haunting him Jack has a complete mental breakdown and the situation takes a sinister turn for the worse.

HARLEY DAVIDSON AND MORE TECH

11 Technologies in Danger of Going Extinct!-

It's a common story: The hottest technologies on the market are often upstaged by the next big thing. As new advancements are made, products that once changed our lives are left in the dust and swapped for the new, the shiny and the updated. Here are 11 devices — some you'd expect and some you might not — that are still roaming the streets but facing rapid extinction.


Fax Machines



It’s true that faxes have existed in various forms since as far back as the 1800s, but they have finally run their course. This is due largely to the growth of email, smartphones and touch-screen technology that allows users to sign documents electronically. According to Pixmania, the largest electronics retailer in Europe, it be hard to find stores that stock them in just a year’s time.




Landline Phones



Cell phones and online video chat (via both smartphones and computers) are giving landlines a run for their money. In fact, nearly a quarter of households in the United States have already ditched landlines and 50 percent of adults aged 25 to 29 only use a mobile device, according to a survey. The appeal of the cell phone includes instant accessibility to anyone at anytime, while the land-bound landline stays at home.




Beepers



Yes, beepers are indeed still around. Since the demand for these devices has been on the outs for quite awhile, it’s only a matter of time before they become extinct for good.




DVD players



Just a decade ago, consumers were trading in VCRs for DVD players. Now, many shoppers are instead opting for Blu-ray and HD discs, which provide high-quality video images. Since these discs are not compatible with traditional DVD players – and the prices for them are dropping – there is no longer an urgent need for the once-coveted DVD player. The growing demand for streaming movies via game consoles and the Internet is also a player in changing the game.




Film Projectors



In 2005, less than 100 movie screens in the United States used digital projectors. Now there are close to 16,000 digital cinema screens, with over 5,000 of them having stereoscopic (3-D) capabilities. Digital film projectors allow a cleaner and crisper viewing experience compared to traditional film projectors, which often makes the picture scratch or break. Movie studios are also pulling for the full digital revolution, as it saves them significant costs in making film prints and shipping them to and from the theaters in bulky metal containers.




The Computer Mouse



Now that you can swipe, pinch to zoom, scroll and use other gesture controls found on the iPhone and iPad without a traditional computer mouse, the need for one is slowly slipping away. Apple also recently announced the arrival of a Magic Trackpad, a Bluetooth device that runs on batteries and performs gesture recognition similar to that of an iPad or iPhone.




Cell Phone Chargers



Wireless charger mats are expected to replace of the cell phone charger. The mat, which plugs into the wall, charges various gadgets at once -- from cell phones to GPS devices -- as they rest on top. And to save on energy, it reads when the battery is full and then stops the charging process.




Plasma TVs



Sleek and slender Plasma TVs may be light-years away from the chunky box unit you had in your living room only a few years back. But when the cheaper and high-quality LCD screens came into town, consumers jumped ship. Now, however, more TV owners are shopping for LCD TVs that use LED backlighting, an eco-friendly alternative compared to the fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions.




Credit Cards



It’s hard to imagine life without the plastic credit card, but the advancements in mobile technology are gearing up to change the way we tap our bank accounts forever. According to First Data, a processing payment company, “Everything you store in a leather wallet will migrate to a mobile handset.” Smartphones will have embedded RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips that will allow shoppers to pay for items by swiping the chip attached to their phone. Mobile devices will also have apps that help shoppers manage their payments.




E-Book Readers



It seems like only yesterday retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble splashed onto the scene with e-reader devices that promised to change the way readers read forever. These devices, however, are only a stepping stone for what's to come. Now with one-stop-shop devices like the iPad that allow you to surf the Internet, watch videos and read books (via e-book apps), basic e-readers may not be as necessary after all.




iPods



Apple continues to dominate the digital media player space, but sales for its once-groundbreaking device are falling year-over-year. Analysts blame the lackluster sales on the growth of the iPhone and ipad, which can also serve as a music player in addition to their other offerings.
