With an average IMDb score of 6 from over 15 horror movies released in 1997 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Anaconda, Premutos - Der gefallene Engel), but we also got some real gems like Perfect Blue (1997) and The Cure (1997) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1997 we did pretty good.So grab some snacks and a drink (and maybe something to hide behind) and check out reviews, ratings and trailers for the 1997 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Amazon.
