Horror isn't for everybody. As a fan of the genre, It's perfectly understandable. However, some films in the genre are so great that they transcend their cliches and become something more; a true experience. Most horror films never rise above their accustomed level, and these films listed represent an amount of craft that is hard to ignore.
Here are some horror films that I believe that transcend their genre. They are not ranked in any order.
As always, suggestions are welcome!
