10 Horror Movies You MUST Watch On The Big Screen

2. Climax (2018)

Gaspar Noe's Climax takes us back to the '90s, joining a dance troupe as they hole up out of the snow in a disused school, rehearsing for an upcoming performance, but when someone spikes the punch with acid, things take a turn for the miserable. 

Much like Suspiria, Climax is a fusion of disturbing horror elements with rich colour motifs and painstaking choreography. The difference here, which elevates Noe's film above Guadagnino's, is that most of Climax is shot with long takes, including the dance numbers. In fact, we are treated to an uninterrupted sequence at the beginning of the movie that not only makes us feel like we are present, but provides tilts, cranes, and other angles that we would not be able to get even watching a live theatre performance. 

The tension built by the revolving long takes is almost unbearable, no matter where you watch it, as Noe has his dancers tear each other apart under vomit-inducing red-and-low-lighting. But being trapped in a large, dark hall with Climax is the way to get the full effect of it, not just watching but really experiencing the claustrophobia and stress up close, feeling trapped in there with the dancers.
