Halloween has long past, but that doesn't mean we should all move on from horror movies. After all, there's an almost endless amount of great horror movies available to the viewing public. Some of these movies are great for providing ample scares. Others are highly regarded for just being plain fun. The films on this list, however, are included because they get people thinking. These are ten of the smartest horror movies out there.
Sure, movies like Slither and Army of Darkness are a delight to watch, but they don't exactly have powerful themes or unique examples of symbolism. That's where these ten movies come into play. After so many horror movies that are only enjoyable for their horror, some people may want to watch something that can stimulate the cranium a little.
These movies qualify as "intelligent" for countless reasons. The main overall qualifier is simply that, in one way or another, the movies listed go beyond what is expected and provide a thought-provoking experience.
