20 Horror Films That Bent the Rules and Became Iconic Because of It (MovieWeb)

"The horror genre has always been accused of being a black sheep in a family whose members don't often like to break the rules. What's curious is that, though its perception has varied through decades of creative expression, some people still see horror as a territory that's not worth stepping on or a dangerous minefield where your soul could be corrupted. But the numbers speak for themselves. Horror is still, and will likely continue to be, the most popular genre in cinema. Both for new filmmakers trying to express themselves and for audiences who like their thrills. We can deconstruct and dissect horror for everything it allows you to do. It's a sort of escape zone that makes you step out of your comfort zone, and it forces you to explore some inner thoughts that conventional cinema doesn't call for. There are some that actually took the first step in breaking the rules of horror storytelling and introduced the 'firsts,' the 'new,' and the 'impossible.'' - movieweb.com
