I am making a horror movie in the vein of the classic slasher in the woods/cabin, etc. It will be a period piece, early 1990's, but with a seventies feel in terms of shots.
Please make suggestions of films I should watch to study the shot list. The whole movie doesn't need to be great, it just has to have a great moment of reveal or tension. For example, I am not crazy about the movie, "The Strangers," but I love the shot where the girl is in the kitchen, the camera pans, and it reveals the intruder in the far background.
Please list movies for me to watch. Much appreciated!!!
Also, if someone else has listed a movie, and you agree, please feel free to list it twice. Movies that are repeated will move to the top of my screening list.
The cinematographer will be referencing the movie in her VLOG for all those who may be interested in following the progress of the film (the quality of the horror segment in this VLOG will not reflect the quality of our movie. This is a VLOG, so she shot it in 20 minutes without a real actor...)

Also, so you know the tone/look of my films:

I like all sorts of horror movies, but for this, please don't share movies that don't fit the Slasher sub-genre.
Again, thanks for your help!!
