“The Menu” was surprising. I didn’t expect it to go in the direction it ended up going. It think it qualifies as horror.

It’s hard to not recognize “Pscho” as the true classic horror film of the latter half of the 20th century…
But we have to go back and recognize
Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.

Gotta give props to Halloween, Nightmare OES” “Alien” and “The Wit h”

Well in that case, I’ll throw a vote in as well for Hereditary, The Shining, The Menu and Oculus. Seven strikes me more as a thriller, but if it’s a horror, Seven is quality.
