Sleepy Hallow. Another work of Tim Burton featuring a great Johnny Depp (a couple that never goes wrong!) as a dark knight who after uncountable twists and turns finds love discovering unbelievable truths.

The Silence of The Lambs.  Two super actors as  Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins and five Oscar s make of this movie one of the most fascinating thrillers of all time.

Shining. Probably the most representative movie of Jack Nicholson’s talent and of Kubrick’s great intuition. The protagonists of the story are Jack, a writer going through a crisis and his family (wife and kid) who move to a desolate hotel that in the past has been the location of a tragedy in which a man killed all his children. Jacks seems to be increasingly associating with the massacrer and his family starts living in fear. P.S. After It, this is the movie that has most scared us here at the office!

American Psycho.  A true American thriller that tells the story of a young man working at Wall Street, rich, charming and frequent visitor of clubs and nightclubs, but with a double identity of psycho killer. A film that schoked the U.S.A and us too!

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The fact that a horror movie is inspired by real facts is enough to terrorize us! 5 guys encounter an apparently adandoned house and charmed by the forbidden decide to enter it…here begins the most terrifying nightmare that Texas have knows! Let’s say 100 minutes of terror and suspense.

Casper. It is very unlikely that you haven’t seen this before, because Casper is the movie that unites grown ups and children.  Although the story narrates of a tribe of ghosts that populates an old castle, the movie is not scary at all, the little ghost Casper, instead, will immediately win you over with his sweetness and a little melancholy.
