10 Horror Movies You MUST Watch On The Big Screen

9. My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)

3D has long drawn the ire of the cinephile, and it's not difficult to see why. It rarely adds anything meaningful to the viewing experience, or to the film itself, and sometimes - particularly when it is retrofitted to movies - can actually harm the viewing experience. However, if the stakes are low to begin with, say with a bloody slasher romp, and the approach to the 3D is intentionally silly, the results can surprise. 

Such is the case with My Bloody Valentine 3D, the Jensen Ackles-led flick about a Valentine's Day killer in mining gear. Is it gimmicky? Of course, but given this isn't exactly Shakespeare, it's half of the fun to see a pickaxe come swinging out of the screen at you. And it was the first horror film to utilise the RealD technology, banishing the red and blue glasses to the recycling bin. 

The only hitch? The 3D doesn't translate well to home viewing. To get the full force of this camp, gory splatter-fest in all its glory, you have to see it on as big a screen as possible.
