CLASSIC HORROR DIRECTORS

Alfred Hitchcock - The master of suspense 



Many believe that Alfred Hitchcock films are at the top of the 'best movies ever made' list, may it be of the horror genre or any other. Hitchcock takes in our worst fears and turns them into something which feels realer than a movie should. The 'villains' or 'antagonists' are believable and feel like they could really exist in parts of everyday life e.g. a creepy next door neighbours. Suspense thrillers like 'Psycho' 'Rear Window' and 'Vertigo' prove its possible to scare just through anticipation and mental disintegration built up through music, off kilter camera angles and playful misdirection.


James Whale - Gothic horror



James Whale was recognised for his work on 'Frankenstein' notable for its sympathetic presentation of the monster and elements of German expressionism to 'The invisible man' and 'The bride of Frankenstein' recognised for the humour in horror.


Eli Roth



Eli Roth is an american director, producer, writer and actor. He is known for directing the sequel of 'Hostel' (2006, 2007) The genre of horror includes explicitly violent and bloody films.
