14. Chronicle (2012)
It may seem strange to start off the list with a found footage film that’s not really a horror flick, but I couldn’t resist putting Chronicle on my list. When three friends develop super powers, they have the time of their lives with their telekinesis. What starts off as juvenile pranks and exhilarating flights begins to take a darker turn when one of them begins to use the destructive side of his powers to lash out against bullying and an abusive household. How do you deal with a mad superhuman, especially when you are his only friend? It may not have the traditional jump scares, but there’s enough suspense and “what the fuck” moments to make me cheer and also fear for them.
