The film "Spell", which was not even much touted in its premiere weekend from 19 to 21 July, has managed to collect a record amount - more than forty million dollars - and became leaders of the North American box office, immediately doubled recouping its own cost.

However, thrillers and horrors are popular at any time of the day and night, even when viewing quality is not particularly important, the main thing that frightened harder shots. But to think that the "spell" dramatically superior to other pictures of the same type sold under the brand of horror in recent years. Several popular publications were positive about the new film: a thriller in the bank appeared a review of «Rolling Stone» and «Empire». Russian critics also not left behind - the journalists of "Kommersant" did not hesitate to recall and advised moviegoers indulge in cinemas.

Those who are interested in such a bankable movie, but can not now break away and run for a ticket in the first row, I suggest to get acquainted with dozens of paintings, produced over the last ten years, which is the same as the "spell" paid for their value exceeded it several times.





1. Paranormal Activity (2007)

Probably, no one doubted that would occupy the first position of a horror movie. In his piggy bank "Paranormal Activity" has collected a lot of both positive and negative reviews, which included the views of the absolute genius of the creators, and the suffering of the money spent aimlessly.
But it's worth noting that the money spent was not aimlessly. With a modest budget of 15 thousand dollars, the tape has managed to collect at the box office nearly 194 million. It's true, worthy of all the costs paid off?



2. Cleansing (2004)

The dramatic film about the life and death of rock musicians, full of realism and beautiful music. It was difficult to predict that at the time is not too great popularity of rock music, this film will bring nearly $ 3 million against those four and a half million that went to its creation.
However, very surprised it is not necessary, because the mental anguish, the problem of choice, and family relations - the topic is very complex and real, that's why attracts the attention of moviegoers.



3. Super Size Me (2004)

Among the feature films and documentary proved, as denoted as drama and comedy. The mixture of these genres together is understandable, because in the Morgan Spurlock talking about forever being discussed and criticized McDonald's.
The creators of the film have invested in 65 thousand dollars, and the output received 28, 5 million. That's just what's the point of this documentary? It certainly looked terrified, gave myself a vow have the right food, but ... Until now, all over the world fast food restaurants continue to operate and maintain a lot of people.



4. One (2006)

In any list of any popular or payback films can not do without a decent dibud films about love. Among payback films of the last decade it has become a picture of Irish attitudes about work busker and a young single mother. A touching and very thin film on the way two people meet each other.
On viewing audience did not spare the money, and as a result "Once" has collected more than 20, 5 million spent against 150 thousand dollars.



5. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Apparently 2004 was a year of payback and a variety of subjects for films. This time, the story of a strange teenager who lives in a remote area of ​​Idaho, outcast and loner kid. He paints imaginary animals, dreams of becoming a ninja and going with his friend to win the student elections.
Well what can I say? People like to watch the history of the formation of strong personalities of the children slaughtered. That's why the film has collected 45 million dollars, which is 115 times greater than its costs.



6. Open Sea (2003)

The film refers to the increasingly popular style of "enclosed spaces" where the characters are somewhere away from other people and can rely only on themselves. In this tape the couple happened to be in the middle of the ocean in a great company of sharks.
Despite the fact that the film received critical acclaim slightly above average, it was able to collect at the box 54, 5 million dollars, more than 10 times recoup all the invested funds.



7. Facing the Giants (2006)

The mention of an actual case history, night shooting, screams and seizures obsessed creators have provided $ 101 million, which more than offset the 1 million spent.



9. Saw: The game of survival (2004)

Not everyone loves thrillers with deep meaning, someone with enough horror liters of blood and guts a couple of meters on the screen. Perhaps, for this type include one part of a series of famous films "Saw", which is as much as 7 parts removed.
It is amazing that in the movie, which was filmed less than a month in one pavilion for 1, $ 2 million spectators paid 103 million.



10. Osama (2003)

Perhaps the most powerful film of the entire list, touching issues that are relevant today. "Osama" is the story of Afghanistan under the Taliban, during a time when women could not even leave the house without a male escort. In the shootings involved ordinary refugees have no acting experience, that only added to the tape realism.
It is a pity that the film has collected much less all the other bands, just 3, 7 million dollars, but this amount is greatly exceeded all expenses equal to 46 thousand.
