Many horrors of 2008 have already become classics of the genre. For 8 years now they have been willingly scaring everyone who wants to tickle their nerves. The selection presents the most popular and scary horror films of 2008.

Mystical horrors

The film "Mirrors" quickly went down in history as one of the scariest horror films. And no wonder, because the director of the film Alexander Azha is known as a master of horror. His work includes projects such as "The Hills Have Eyes" and "Bloody Harvest".

The plot revolves around Ben Carson - a former policeman who, having lost his job, is gradually sliding down to the social bottom. He cannot find a normal job, relations with his family do not add up. In the end, Ben finds a job as a caretaker for a fire-ravaged mall. In the ruins of this place lurks a real, living, material horror that an unsuspecting Ben is about to face.

Another mystical horror movie worth mentioning is David Moreau's The Eye. The plot of the picture is simple - a young girl, Sydney, became blind as a child. Now, many years later, she has undergone a corneal transplant. Sydney has a chance to see the world like she hasn't seen in years. But in parallel with real things, the girl begins to see ghosts. The deceased woman, whose eyes were transplanted into her, suffered from the same mystical visions all her life, and now Sydney will involuntarily have to share her heavy gift.

Vampires, zombies and ghosts

The interest of the public in any evil spirits has not weakened over the years. Bloodthirsty vampires, the living dead, vengeful ghosts, combined with deafening special effects, will make even seasoned moviegoers bounce on their chairs. So, the horrors of 2008 about those who never found peace after death.

All the events of the film "100 feet" take place in the house where Marnie Watson was transferred from prison. A few years ago, she killed her husband in self-defense and is now forced to stay in a house with a blood stain on the wall, in complete isolation and with an electronic bracelet on her leg that does not allow her to go beyond a 100-foot radius. But Marnie does not yet know that she is not alone in the house. The ghost of her husband is still there. And he won't stop until he gets his revenge.

Not US projects

Japanese cartoon "Resident Evil: Degeneration" has become a nice gift for all fans of the game Resident Evil. The plot is based on the confrontation between Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy against a virus that turns people into bloodthirsty zombies.

The film "Let Me In" has become the most notable Swedish horror in recent years. As many critics say, the picture turned out really scary.

The main character is a schoolboy Oscar, enduringconstant bullying from classmates. He strikes up a friendship with a strange girl, Eli. She does not eat anything, does not walk during the day, does not freeze in winter in light clothes. Eli is a vampire who needs blood to keep himself alive. Will childhood friendship stand the test of this truth?

Don't look at night

The best horrors of 2008 are, of course, films for viewers with steel nerves. There is no mysticism in them, but there is real cruelty, which makes them so scary. After all, it is known that the most dangerous monsters are people.

The first place in the category "the most terrible horrors of 2008" is deservedly received by the film "Saw V". The ruthless Constructor continues to carry out his macabre plans, testing his victims for strength with the help of creepy gadgets and traps. The film, as you might expect, found its devoted fans, but it's definitely not the kind of horror movie to watch before bed.

"Midnight Express" is a horror film about the mysterious darkness hidden in the bowels of a big city. The protagonist Leon Kaufman personally faces the evil firmly established in New York. The film has a rather unexpected ending and in its eerie atmosphere is not inferior to the horror "The Hills Have Eyes".
