TOP 9 HORROR FILMS ON IMDB
This image below is a screenshot of the top nine horror films that are on IMDB. As you can see the rating of the film doesn't make them the best film and it is more about who's watched it . Meaning films which are ranked lower potentially have a higher rating than those in the higher ranking. Starting off with 'Halloween' (1978), then 'Split' (2016), 'Ouija:Origin of Evil' (2016), 'It' (2017), 'Boo! A Madea Halloween'(2016), 'Don't breathe' (2016), 'Lights out' (2016), 'The conjuring 2' (2016), and lastly 'The Purge:Election Year' (2016). Noticeably, the majority of these movies were created in 2016. However, surprisingly the most watched movie was created in 1978. Evidently, this website does not eliminate specific films for their years and the list is therefore open to any movie.
