Scariest English films of all time

The Conjuring

The Conjuring racking up phenomenal reviews around the world, we decided to ask you, dear reader, which English horror film scared you the most and the results are gratifyingly diverse.
Your list contains everything from classics to current scares, from gore to genre-defying greatness.
Here, then, in descending order, are your ten scariest films of all time:

exorcist 

William Friedkin’s 1973 classic is perhaps the most popular film about possession and exorcism in all of cinema, and the film — starring a young Ellen Burstyn as the possessed and Max von Sydow as the exorcist — remains chilling.

 The Ring
The Ring, based on Japanese horror film Ringu, created a worldwide scare in 2002. The film was about a cursed videotape that would cause the viewer to die in seven days.
The American remake, by Gore Verbinski, was effective enough but purists swear on the original Ringu

 Evil Dead 
Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead had a group of youngsters holidaying in a cabin and finding an audiotape that leads to demons and gore.
Wildly original, often funny and devastatingly gory, this low-budget cult classic changed and revitalised the horror genre when it released back in 1981
