1984 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?
Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1984 is...
The Company of Wolves - Neil Jordan
Not only my favourite from 1984, but also my favourite werewolf movie, this surreal tale told in folklore stylings is certainly unconventional when it comes to your usual lycanthropic movie, but I'd definitely urge anyone who hasn't checked it out to do so. Dream-like, with some fantastic imagery this one is a clear winner for '84.
