"Demons of Deborah Logan" (2014)

Taking into account the apparent crisis of the genre, cinema novels rarely succeed in stepping on the path of innovation and avoid frank plagiarism. The creators of individual paintings persistently exaggerate the once popular motifs and ideas, are not the exception and the most terrible horrors are 2014-2015. The list of films Top-10 in the category "the most scary movie" opens the project of the director and co-author of the script of Adam Robitel "Demons of Deborah Logan". It was unbearably difficult for the director to come up with something new in the stagnant subgenre, because the movie about instilling in people of spirits or demons is not uncommon in the modern film industry. Adam Robitel was not original in the choice of shooting manners, taking as a basis boring, but still a fashionable technique - mokyumentari. In order to reject accusations of plagiarism in relation to "The Last Exorcism of the Devil", the author chose an intriguing structure of the narrative, the plot is revealed in the very end of the picture. In the beginning, he went into the story of an elderly lady, exhausted by Alzheimer's disease, and the subject is beautifully revealed: the creators demonstrate not only the suffering of the victims of the disease, but also the related problems of their relatives. At first the film looks fascinating, after - it becomes really scary. The concept of the film is reminiscent of "Paranormal phenomenon" and "Reportage", sequels which are also positioned as the most terrible horrors 2014-2015. The list of films by rating determines their position in the lowest lines of the tabloid (according to critics' assessment).

The Lazarus Effect (2014)

The theme of the resurrection from the dead is still considered quite exciting and promising for the delights of filmmakers. On this basis, with due diligence, individual authors were able to create eerie and exciting projects. Such a masterpiece brings variety to the most terrible horrors of 2014-2015. The list of films about zombies, if you can so designate the heroine of the picture, will open the work of director David Gelb, promising the viewer that evil will rise again. The world premiere of the project took place in 2015. The plot of the picture was characterized in advance as stamped, the entire narrative is built on the eternal struggle of evil and good. The first part of the film is rather long and represents a prehistory. The viewer, who knows the genre of the picture, can foresee the further development of events. However, the tape is included in the most terrible horrors of 2014-2015. The list of films contains more and more predictable projects. The main heroine, waking up after the chains of death, awakens a completely different "man." The brainchild of David Gelb was criticized by many critics for attracting and fanning religious themes, which, according to their subjective opinion, was not worth doing.

Astral 3 (2015)

Australian director Lee Wonnel in such a specific genre feels like a fish in the water. He wrote scripts for many horror films, which later became popular, if not to say canonical. It's no surprise that his directorial debut is part of the most terrible horrors of 2014-2015. The list of films about ghosts opens the next part of the sensational epic - "Astral 3". His project pleased viewers - fans to tickle their nerves.

Although inexorable film critics have found fault with, accusing the creators of the fact that their creative impulses are just a cover for the banal thirst for profit. The film does not pretend to be unique, it's rather banal. All the director's tricks and plot surprises the viewer could contemplate in previous episodes, because of what really looking does not scare a single shot. But this is only one side of the coin. Criticism has been subjected to all the most terrible horrors, without exception, 2014-2015. The list of films presented in the publication is no exception.

Poltergeist (2015)

Kinotekhniki, waiting for the audience to forget the classical story, updated the "Poltergeist", of course, he entered the category "the most terrible horrors of 2014-2015." The list of horror films that were released in a given period of time would be considered inadequate without the brainchild of director Gil Keenan. The director is known to the viewer in the film "The House of Horrors". Thanks to Steven Spielberg's participation in the project as a producer, his budget was $ 35,000,000 - a fantastically fabulous amount for a horror film. Everyone froze in anticipation, expecting that the proven story would be sparkled with new colors, like, at least, not discrediting the original tape. But, unfortunately, Gil Keenan did not cope with the responsible task and made a rather unremarkable picture that can not be compared with the 1982 film.

"It" (2014)

Horror "It" is positioned by the creators as a picture of the curse, which is transmitted sexually, although critics have managed to see here the ideal narrative about the problems and difficulties of prepubertal age. This kind of differentness has the most terrible horrors of 2014-2015. A list of films about the youth was supplemented by another horror with the light hand of director David R. Mitchell. According to the promises of the creators, the film will be a real revelation for the viewer, he is extremely exciting and scary. This is the unshakable merit of the film.

At present, physical mutilation and blood abundance are no longer frightening, spirits and ghosts have a monotonous anomalous character, and demons are not considered something out of the ordinary. The creators of the film tried and gave an interesting story, the only drawback of which can be called the climax, which destroys the horror pumped for all the timing. Somehow, the guiding thread, stretching from the main character, unfolds absolutely banally.

Hangman (2015)

To diversify the pastime of the youth, the American film-makers released another bloody horror "The Hangman" - clean water, a youth horror film, in which the analogies with the "Blair Witch" are clearly traced. The plot of the picture is built on the fears of teenagers wandering in the hostile darkness of empty school corridors and attics in search of evil. Everything, as usual: first the heroes, enchanted by the manifestation of otherworldly forces, fussily and gambitly fix them on the video, and after the death of one of the friends try to avoid such a fate.

Vatican Records (2015)

Directed by Mark Neveldine returned from his creative non-existence with the first in his career mystical horror "Vatican Records." Ignoring the fact that the subject of the exorcism of the demons was exaggerated repeatedly by the directors of different calibres, Nevelidein created the film not a failure, but also not unique - of an average level. The strongest episodes of the picture are frames containing active action. But with a real drama, working out the characters of the central characters and just the plausibility of what is happening, the director is clearly oversimplified, or rather, he has committed annoying gaffes. Horror about exorcism suggests the presence of terrible moments. The vile picking in the stigmata and the darkened eye cavities are no longer impressive.

"Sinister 2" (2015)

With the release of the sequel, the perfect balance of drama, detective and mysticism fell apart overnight. Director Kieran Foy continued the first part only nominally. Children fool, the demon Bagul rages, but the director sates the action with a fair amount of humor and a mass of absurdities. History is overgrown with unnecessary details, causing bewilderment and surprise at the director's hooligan unbridledness.

"Visit" (2015)

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, taking up the production of the horror "Visit", he used the frayed, but still actual genre found footage. As a result, instead of tedious significance, the project offers to the viewer a charming atmosphere of vacations of eccentric grandmothers and grandfathers. With these characters you will not get bored: in the daytime they are still sane, although they are scary, but with the onset of darkness they begin to get up terrible things. The painting has a rather ironic intonation, nevertheless, it is still a horror, and the horror on which it is based is serious.

The Crimson Peak (2015)

Gothic horror with elements of the bloody thriller "Crimson Peak" blew up the popularity tabloids for the joy of fans of the genre and fans of the eccentric director Guillermo Del Toro. In this project, he acts not only in the hypostasis of the director, but also as a co-author of the script and producer. The spectator is expected to spend two hours of a bad fairy tale with a charming atmosphere, a magnificent visual part and deep implication.

Summary

Named the worst horrors of 2014-2015 (list of films) reviews will receive, and in this case, contradictory. About tastes and preferences do not argue - because of them scandalous and swear.

Pleasant exceptions are encountered, but they are quite rare.
