Horror fans talk a lot about movies with "good kills." Not that we ever want anyone to die in real life, but in the realm of a fictional scarefest, how a movie carries out its death scenes is often the most important thing about it. A good kill scene can do several things at once, from establishing how frightening a villain is to raising the emotional stakes of a story to simply setting the tone for the carnage to come. Sometimes, a good kill scene can even change the course of horror cinema as we know it.
