What is the secret of horror movie addiction? After all, monstrous things happen in them: people are cut, kept in cages, monsters crawl out from under the bed … It seems that viewers with the strongest nerves dare to watch horror films, or is it something else?
There are many reasons why people love horror films: some people like to be safe and in contrast to what is happening on the screen, to understand that nothing threatens them, others want to get new experiences (especially if there are no bright emotions in life).
Whatever it was, the genre will always be relevant. The first silent horror film was made in 1896 by Georges Méliès. Then the cinema was not yet developed, so his creation lasts only 3 minutes and is called “Devil’s Castle”.
Today there are a lot of horror movies – the taste and color! Which ones do you especially like: about psychos, psychiatric hospitals, prisoners? For fans of the genre, we have specially prepared this selection – you may be interested in fresh paintings.

Rating on Kinopoisk: 3.6 of 10
“Curse of the Weeper: Timelessness”, rather, a horror movie at a time, but a lot of it is not required. The main thing is that this time was fun and scary. The plot is not bad, however, it is delayed, and I want something more scary. There are several main characters in the center of the plot, but I especially want to highlight Nicole. Interesting and nice girl.
