I prefure this Saw film against any other as it is set out much better than the rest of the franchise; including a unknown house holding hostage 5 of Jigsaws victims. During the menising storyline of how they can escape they also look more into eachothers past as to why these selected few are placed here. Traps are set across the house including the famous 'Needle Pit' where we see Amada being forced into. This brings the aspect of victimous horror into the films which Saw is known for.
4. Sweeney Todd
Unlike any other mentioned this is the only Musical involved in my top 10; this is because I don't tend to find the story line particually involving or connecting in this genre. However I find that Sweeney Todf isn't simular to any musical I've heard of before. Despite its cheerful songs and attitude this film contains a very dark plot filled with unexpected twists along the way. We are involved in many dilemas in the film including; Anthony's love for Johanna and Sweeney's well known revenge upon Judge Turpin. Its not until later in the film that Mrs Lovett's epiphany hits Mr. Todd and soon his revenge can be placed. This film filled with gore, dark horror and a love story which makes this so appealing and one of my top 10.

3. Beetlejuice
Directed by Tim Burton, 'Beetlejuice' is in my top 3 for its use of Comedy and Horror to make a Family Film and liked by all. After a tragic accident, a new family move into Adam and Barbara Maitlands house unawear of the ghosts still learing aroud not wanting the new arrives in their dream home. It isn't clear to the new Deetz family that they should leave and also to the Maitlands how they can get them to. Until dark girl, Lydia, incounters the two trying to scare away the new family. Barbara and Adam desperatly seek advice to find an answer to their problems and it's not until they find the service of 'Bio-exorcist' Betelgeuse in order to remove the obnoxious new owners of the house.

2. House Of 1000 corpses
2003 film directed and written by Rob Zombie is another enjoyable film containing two teenage couples traveling across the backroads of Texas in search for urban legends of brutal murders. They end up in Captain Spaulding's (Played by Sid Haig) murder tour and isn't long before they unexpectidly end up prisoners in a bizarre and sadist home of a family of serial killers and accidently find Dr. Satan's lair; a person of which was only mentioned in urban legends. This film contains very strong gore and violance that is very realistic, helped by its setting -modern day texas-.

1.The Devils rejects
The Devils Rejects is my favorite film currently. A sequal to the film 'House Of 1000 Corpses' and filmed in 2005. I personally love the dark Comedy in this film as well as the Horror aspects as it brings the characters more alive and realistic instead of the 'Serious' approach of killers that most films contain today. The setting of this again is in America however is mainly set in a Motel. It is here that they find their next unfortunate martyrs. The family takes to the road to escape a vengeful police raid after taking their mother hostage to try and imprison them and fall into the justice they deserve. Like above, this film is very realistic due to the killers approach and setting. The use of comedy and horror again I feel makes this a better film than the first and overal my favorite film.
