Here are two new additions to the list of Rings and Shinings.
1. Jacob's Ladder
2. 28 Days Later
Lots of blood and guts in 28 Days, but it works because it's subordinate to something scarier. The implications of that film keep me up at night.
I'm also surprised no one listed Jacob's Ladder. Makes the hair on my neck stand up just thinking about it. It's been a few years since I've seen it and I don't think I'll see it again.
The scene when the girlfriend is repeatedly asking Tim Robbins 'is anybody home', each time she asks the camera does an immediate zoom on her face which begins to look more and more like a demon with each zoom. But it happens so fast you barely notice. Yikes.
