Movies That Redefined The Horror Movie Genre
video description
Alien definitely belongs in the list. It was also one of the very few movies where the sequel was as great as the first movie.
Ummmm, Saw had No point, no story? Did we watch the same movie? Saw was a great movie even though it only had a handful of characters and it kept you guessing until the end--which was the best part of the movie.
Where is
Psycho
The Birds
Rosemary's Baby
Inside aka l'interieur? -- Inside was the first movie I've seen were the woman was the hunter instead of the hunted for a change.

Saw and Hostel both have interesting plots and storylines/meanings. You should actually watch them and pay attention. Saw is about dark, societal justice with an intricate, multi-movie plot, and Hostel is a film that relies on the fear of being in an unknown place while traveling, with social messages discussing the nature of the general dispositions of people towards other cultures, genders, etc.
The rest of the video was pretty good. Missing The Exorcist, though. probably the strongest portrayal of directly sacrilegious themes in film up to the time.

I would argue that Insidious is the far more Important Blumhouse Production. The Found Footage Revival that Paranormal Activity ushered in has pretty much already ended, and didn't really change much about the genre. But Insidious created this novel idea, of putting actually talented actors in the lead rolls of horror movies, and has created some real good ass movies since. Without Insidious (and Sinister and The Purge) we probably wouldn't have gotten Split or Get Out, or if we had, they wouldn't have been as good.

Evil Dead was one of the first to have students going to an abandoned cabin in the woods and helped sparked ideas like; evil coming after they read from a book, nobody knowing who the main protagonist will be until halfway into the film (Alien did this after with Ridley) and sequels that actually did the franchise justice.

Hold up, hold up. Where the hell is Halloween? Literally defined a generation of horror movies for the next 2 decades, if not more. I'm not usually one to have gripes with dumb YT lists but I can't be the only one who thinks of Halloween first when I think of horror classics that redefined the horror movie genre.

Paranormal Activity made me jump. Until I figured out it was fake. Still, brilliant effects and editing. I honestly couldn't tell until I was told.
I remember watching Night if the Living Dead as a kid. I watched it last year and it wasn't nearly as scary 25 years later.

So, not even a mention of the film V/H/S in the found footage category? I think it's worthy of a phrase or two.
But Texas Chainsaw Massacre I watched way too young and it's at the top of my list. Humans make the worst monsters IMO.

I thought The Exorcist and Psycho would be in here.
Also any David Fincher movie, which defined psychological horror movies.
Sixth Sense or The Ring could also be in the list, first movie that made me scared of ghosts/spirits.
