## Key points

- Six once-censored horror films are now regarded as masterpieces.
- The text details *Possession*, *The Evil Dead* and *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre*.
- The supplied article cuts off before all six films are covered.

## Summary

The article argues that six horror films once banned or heavily censored have since earned lasting reputations as masterpieces. It says the controversy surrounding them obscured their filmmaking craft, and that their influence and reputations grew despite attempts to restrict them.

The supplied text describes three films: *Possession*, whose intense portrayal of a marriage breaking down is anchored by Isabelle Adjani’s performance; *The Evil Dead*, praised for turning its low budget into visceral effects and restless energy; and *The Texas Chain Saw Massacre*, which builds dread through its dusty setting and implied violence. The article text ends mid-description of another film, so it does not provide the remaining entries or details.
