<p>Every horror movie I watch and rate positively, ranked. </p><p>I don't know that I would say horror movies are my favorite genre (I am more readily moved by feminist experimental documentaries about how traumatizing life is), but it is certainly the one I gravitate towards for sheer pleasure.</p><p>Though I do like being scared by a film, it's a rare occurrence. Not for lack of quality in these films, but just as a matter of course as someone who watches to analyze (which I love doing) more than to escape. Instead, I come to this genre because its conventions, its quirks, its sounds, its imagery are familiar like old friends. When they come with something new, it's a special delight, but when they adhere to the old formulas, I usually still enjoy them.</p><p>The rankings are always subject to change, usually within seconds of being updated. It's really impossible to properly compare <i>Pieces</i> with <i>The Innocents</i> or <i>Cat People</i> with <i>Cat People</i>. But I love making ranked lists, so I try to do it anyway.</p>
