7 Most Visually Striking Horror Movies

Have you ever caught yourself thinking that the horror movie you’re watching is not only scary but also looks fantastic? We don’t often use adjectives like “beautiful” or “wonderful” to describe the bloody mess that’s been going on the screen. Evil is evil, it can’t have any positive aspects!

Of course, it’s not true for all horror movies. Some of them hook you with a fascinating premise, others with a unique antagonist, and there those that combine the two with spectacular visuals, leaving the viewers awestruck.

Here are 7 most visually striking horror movies!

1. Mandy (2018)

One of the most recent titles on this list is Panos Cosmatos’s baby “Mandy,” starring Nick Cage. At first, it seems like this will be one of those wacky movies about weird cultists, but as the plot develops, you start understanding that nothing makes sense, this isn’t even our world, and “what the hell have the writers been smoking”? It’s not just a horror movie, it’s an experience.

2. The Neon Demon (2016)

When it comes to visuals, Nicolas Winding-Refn certainly has a knack for making his movies stand out. With a title like “The Neon Demon,” you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. It is bright, colorful, and not at all like any other horror flick.

3. It (2017-2019)

In 2017, Andy Muschietti gave us one of the creepiest and visually stunning horror reboots of all time – It. His play with colors (especially red), the symbolism hidden in almost every scene, and of course, the fantastic performance of the teen actors, made It a new staple of the modern horror movies. It: Chapter 2 did a lot of the same stuff, but for some reason, the final product falls flat. And yet visually it’s one of the best horrors ever!
