Angel Heart(1987)

Great novel that was written then was made into a movie by William Hjortsberg. Although it was given a 7.3/10 for the film from IMDb it did pretty well. Although I haven't really gotten to far into the novel the screen writer (Alan Parker) did pretty good on following the book.

Reviews that I've read and agreed that was really good points and opinions:

" I was stunned at what this film did to me. An absolutely brilliant display of psychological horror. Alan Parker made the scariest film of the eighties, maybe the scariest film of the second half of the century with this picture."
(Tideprince)

" "Angel Heart" deserves to be considered Alan Parker's masterpiece. The direction is truly amazing, as Parker drives us deeply through a meticulously prepared dark atmosphere, full of allegories and secret hints."  (Jcatnettis)

Plot:

Harry Angel is a private investigator. He is hired by a man who calls himself Louis Cyphre to track down a singer called Johnny Favorite. But the investigation takes an unexpected and somber turn.

The Shining (1980)

This novel from Stephen King (The Shining) is a great novel. The movie was well written and I'll give it a 9 out of 10. I'll say it's one of my favorite movies in the early 80's.

Plot:

Jack Torrance becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel up in the secluded mountains of Colorado. Jack, being a family man, takes his wife and son to the hotel to keep him company throughout the long and isolated nights. During their stay strange things occur when Jack's son Danny sees gruesome images powered by a force called "The Shining" and Jack is heavily affected by this. Along with writer's block and the demons of the hotel haunting him Jack has a complete mental breakdown and the situation takes a sinister turn for the worse.

The Conjuring

I'll say this movie was actually pretty good and gotten a lot of good feedback. My opinion I don't think this movie was based on a real story. I say this because all the movies i seen like the Sinister and The Possession. But it all dwpends on peoples faith and beliefs. I'll say out of all Thrill movies I've seen I think this is in my top 10 that I've actually like, which it got a 83% out of 100% (Rotten Tomato).

Plot:

Based on a true story, the film tells the horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.
