As an adventure film, Raiders of the Lost Ark continues to dazzle unlike any other.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite film.
Yet, despite the lavish set pieces and thrilling chases, what really makes Raiders of the Lost Ark stand out amongst the rest are its surprising horror elements, of which there are many.
Of course, nothing else in Raiders of the Lost Ark terrorizes like the aforementioned finale — perhaps the most gruesomely shocking ending of any commercial film catered to a wide audience.
