The 7 best Hitchcockian thrillers ever, ranked
best new shows and movies to stream get out alias grace

The movies of Alfred Hitchcock are so renowned that they've become their own subgenre. Tropes such as the icy blonde femme fatale, the "bomb under the table" moment, surprising plot twists, a "MacGuffin" plot device, and voyeuristic visuals have become synonymous with Hitchcock's films.

Despite what people may think of him as a person, the director's stylish and suspenseful thrillers have made their mark on many great filmmakers, and many other works have since been compared to his own.

Who needs Scream 6? These movies are the 5 best horror sequels of all time
The Predator and Naru in Prey.

Horror is an odd genre. One of its most famous unusual traits is how dominated it is by sequels. Until the modern era of superhero movies, no other genre in history has been able to come close to the number of sequels, prequels, reboots, and now, requels that horror movies manage to rack up.

Often, the sequels are nothing more than repeats of the first film, providing more frights for the devoted fanbase. Unfortunately, a lot of sequels also end up being worse than the original too, serving as nothing more than recycled tropes and antics from the first film. But, on the rare occasion, a horror sequel (or prequel) comes along that's downright amazing – sometimes better than the first, sometimes revitalizing a dying franchise, or sometimes being so damn different that it stands all on its own. Here are the five best horror sequels ever.
