This is open to everyones opinion on what movie they believe holds this title. Keep in mind that this just includes the last 10 years. So, what "true" horror film is your choice?

At the moment, I am still contemplating what movie I would pick. Feel free to post the movie name and a brief reason why you think it deserves to be named the best.

Most people will disagree with me, but I stand by the choice of Wolf Creek. You basically have 2 girls running from a psycho in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country. No fodder cast there just to be killed, no bullshit special effects. I just think it set out to tell the death of these 2 girls, and it did it brilliantly.

Haha, I hate that movie so bad; to me, it was one of the worst films I've seen over the last few years. Horror movies shouldn't be 90% anticlimatic.

I was actually surprised at how good that movie was. Good choice.


I'm waiting for people to say The Descent. It seems to be a main choice these days. I haven't even seen it.

ha, it was on IFC the other night and itt made me smile.

But I rarely ever actually watch true horror movies, so I couldn't really say what would be the best out of the last ten years.

the descent is up there for me. it had everything i love about horror movies.

probably that or behind the mask: the rise of leslie vernon. even though it's more of a horror/comedy, it was so fucking badass, funny and original that it deserves all the love in the world.

or ginger snaps. it deserves a mention too.

shaun of the dead and slither would also get honorable mention from me, again, even though they're horror comedies.

Kif
05/23/07, 08:21 AM
Slither was a great movie. It was so gruesome, yet so hilarious.

As for The Descent, I liked it, but it did get rather boring for me. Maybe I should watch it again.

Whoops, that's supposed to be 'for', not 'or'. Good movie, slightly creepy near the end though.

I'd say Dumplings too I guess, since it's just a completely fucked up idea, but it didn't really scare me that much.

If you count it, The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen is actually better than the original... but it is a re-release. However, I think Friedkin's new film Bug will become one of the best horror films of the decade.

In terms of serious horror, i'd say 28 Days Later probably... maybe Descent

I've been on a old comedy-gore kick lately... i've rewatched Evil Dead 2, Re-Animator, and Wishmaster in the past two days. Intruder is on the top of my netflix queue :). In terms of this horror sub group, the only ones I can think of recentally are slither and Shaun of the Dead. Anyone know any good slapstick-horror movies of late I might have missed?

I loved the Devil's Rejects.
I'm really anticipating the new Halloween movie and Bug for sure.
In the mouth of madness is a really underrated film (though I'm not sure if it falls within the ten year frame)
From Dusk 'Til Dawn just barely missed the 10 year mark, but I'll add it anyway since it kicks so much ass.
And I was really surprised by how good the Roost was. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of a good old fashioned creature feature (with some Zombie goodness thrown in)
It's to hard for me to choose just one, and most of my favorites are older.

Definitally The Descent. Best horror film I have ever seen. When I go to see a horror film I expect to be frightened silly, its what I want to get back from the price of my ticket. Needless to say I was scared shitless and my girlfriend who literally couldn't watch hated me for awhile after that.

I think the horror genre has been a little entangled with this new gore shock kind of horror which is big atm.. (saw/hostel).. Saw 1.. I can watch cos it has a pretty sweet plot.. But I generally hate this type of horror. Theres nothing wrong with old fashioned frights. Man... I remember scream when it first came out - that was so scary!

I know I'm going to get shit for this, but I don't remember being as scared in a movie theater as much as I was when I saw Signs. I know that people love to dump all over M. Night, including myself (the village and lady in the water were ridiculously bad), but that movie gave me sleeping problems for like weeks afterward. I might be kinda biased though, because the movie takes place in Bucks County PA, and I pretty much grew up a county or so over, so I know those places and have seen what they're actually like.
Also, it was on TV yesterday, but Jeepers Creepers is actually pretty good. It's been a long time since Hollywood has tried their hand at a straight-up monster movie, and this one came out a few years ago. The "Creeper" was totally badass, and reminded me of the classic Universal monsters.

Yeah...I watched Penny Dreadful as well, and it was interesting but weak in the end. I really liked the premise of Penny Dreadful too...it just came off as cheap in too many points...and the blood they used did not look too realistic

No

What Rob Zombie represents...is perhaps the worst thing that could ever happen to horror. To believe that special effects is what can shape the genre, and that a coherent plot is unimportant...its devastating to watch on film. That movement is the exact reason I hate horror to this day. Watch the exploitation films of the 70's...there are NO special effects...just filled with gore, and the do it a million times better.

I believe, at this moment, that Rob Zombie will actually manage to ruin the Halloween series to the point that nobody outside of Rob Zombie fans will ever want another Halloween movie to be made. The portions of the script I've read...he is single-handedly destroying the main character

i can see where youre comming from. and i dont think zombie does horror. what zombie does is a different genre of horror, be it snuff, slasher, whatever, call it rot, its not horror. horror is something completley different, not many people get. blood, guts etc is not horror, horror is tightly related to suspense. horror is supposed to scare us, movies like hostel, turistas, new saw's, are not scary, their purose is to gross us out, and to me, that is not horror. i totally agree that special effects do not shape the genre. so, i agree with you, but disagree that zombie is not a good thing to happen to film.

i was trying to get at that he is inventing a new genre of film. dark comedy filled with mindless terror/gore filled with profanity and sex filimed in a gritty 70's fashion. i like what he has done so far, and i have high hopes for halloween. if he does ruin it, as you say he will, i will be sorley dissapointed to the max.

Good lookin out with the hostel and TCM remake picks. I agree with you totally, but i think we are in the minority when it comes to those 2.

somebody said Wolf Creek...yes, a wonderful flick about a bunch of stupid characters no one cares about, with a lot of really nifty backstory and beautifully spoken dialogue.

this movie wasn't even funny to watch as a joke.

There haven't been any good horror movies in the last 10 years, a few in the 80s, but most horror movies that have come out in the past few years have been shitty remakes of 70s ones.

not everything is a remake of a 70s movie, but there's a lot of remakes [and in cinema in general, which is a problem], and a lot of remakes of foreign films...(The Departed, anyone? and for horror movies, the Ring, The Grudge, etc etc) And they're supposed to be remaking the Bad Seed, which I think is 50s, but damn. The lack of originality displayed people people whose job it is to make movies is appalling.

Most people will disagree with me, but I stand by the choice of Wolf Creek. You basically have 2 girls running from a psycho in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country. No fodder cast there just to be killed, no bullshit special effects. I just think it set out to tell the death of these 2 girls, and it did it brilliantly.

I though John Jarret played the killer so well. I enjoyed it but I wouldnt rate it as one of the last decades best I dont think. Although we havent had many.

28 Days Later, and it's not that close.

Agreed.

The Blair Witch Project.

Agreed.

for people who liked Descent, I thought Dog Soldiers (from same director) was good too

I am curious to see The Descent (I read a book of the same name of creatures in caves is it based on that?) The book kinda sucked though. Dog Soldiers sucked balls.

BILLY AGE 8
05/30/07, 09:44 PM
i liked 28 days later, but it just wasnt as scary as people raved on and on. it was good though

to me, i have never really found a horror movie that has scared me or anything like that, i still have yet to see the descent, but i doubt i will find it to be scary

i thought The Hills Have Eyes, was just killing with no real good plot, yes it had gore in it, but i dont think that makes a horror film good

I know people will hate me for saying this, but I actually liked silent hill, not even close to the best, and DEFINATELY could have been better, but... seeing the disturbing things in that movie that creeped me out hardcore in the games was just a giant plus. I would like to see a Silent hill movie that follows the story of 2. And STICKS to it, that would be good. the thing that made silent hill for me was it was disturbing, not disgusting, there is a major difference.

but really, no movie is going to scare me more than an actual survival horror game, because for one, i am not just sitting there watching people do their thing, i actually have to decide what to do, and pretty much live the story, thats what makes games scarier than movies. but only if you let yourself get into the game, you cant go in with the mindset of "this is just a game", you have to let yourself get into the story, i prefer to play horror games in the dark, alone. they are much better that way. The only drawback would be that it takes more than two hours to finish, but thats a plus to me because i dont mind long games.

but pretty much i guess one of my favorite horror movies in the last 10 years would have to be, Shawn of the Dead, or 28 days later

but i guess i need to watch more horror movies, because i really dont know too much about this

The Saw movies have progressively gotten worse with each movie. I enjoyed the second one to some extent, but the third one was brutal to watch for me due to the first thirty minutes seeming like a waste of time (even after the ending).

I have to say that I'll probably end up seeing the fourth when it comes out, though. I hope it just doesn't come out as big of a disapointment as the third.

The second one was alright (mostly because it had Emmaunelle Vauiger in it), but it reminded me too much of Cube most of the time. Still a decent flick, but not terrible in a way like The Fog remake or the Pulse remake.

The third one really picked up once it switched the what was interesting about the movie. Not the Jigsaw/Amanda storyline, but the storyline about the guy having to face the people who were involved with having his son killed. While the actor in the role got annoying at times, that was the highlight of the film, and I was really intrigued about it.

Since that guy will be in the fourth (as well as the black S.W.A.T. guy), I hope they go into another direction that is as interesting as the one in the third, but not as flawed.

I honestly havent seen a horror movie I love from the past 10 years. The newest horror film I own is that Dawn of the Dead remake, i dont really care for it that much though. Im more of an 70's/80's horror guy.

Theres probably some that have slipped my mind that I like.

I'm sure that is the case. I'm having the same problem trying to remember all the horror films I have seen within the last 10 years.

One of those genres where although there is rarely a good film, you are still tempted to see every single fucking movie.

The Mothman Prophecies scared me pretty bad when I saw it in the theater, I was only about 15 or so at the time but I'm pretty sure I would still be scared from parts. Also August Underground Mordum.

I was actually surprised at how good that movie was. Good choice.


I'm waiting for people to say The Descent. It seems to be a main choice these days. I haven't even seen it.

the only thing wrong with the decent was that is was to slow for queter of the movie. and the pome accents was sort of distracting.

oh and Wolf Creek was crap. for one the fist hour was just talkin. and 2 what seriel killer uses a sniper. yer i know im a aussie but we make the worst horror movies. not inclcuding japan or some eastern country.

wolf creek was worser then the village-(over rated)

Well, not counting pure horror/comedies (if I was, then Shaun of the Dead is a definite mention),

Dawn of the Dead


and, though its not the best horror movie in any way, as an honorable mention I'd say Cabin Fever. Hated the movie the first time I saw it, but ended up loving it.

I don't think Ravenous and Cube have been mentioned, and deserve to be since The Hills Have Eyes is listed on the first page..

Never seen ravenous, but Cube didn't really look like a horror when I watched it. Also, Cube dragged on.. I wouldn't have minded it if it was a lot shorter than what it was.

dawn of the dead (remake)

the blair witch project

i think the ones with the most impact were Saw and 28 Days Later. 28 Days Later for bringing zombies back into the limelight and Saw for bringing a new wave (albeit not great and not as successful) of torture horror movies. These are the two i see still being mentioned on lists 10 years from now.

The Hills have eyes remake gets my vote.So much better than the original and most other horror films of the last few years.It's a shame that the sequel is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

28 Days later gets honourable mention

if you had seen the movies he listed, you'd realize they all rely on much more than just jumps. and we aren't talking about just scary movies, shaun of the dead and slither are horror comedies.

28 Days Later- (the way it was filmed was really good, and seemed almost surreal at times..which added alot to the already solid plot/movie)
Blair Witch Project- (it was just different, and was really lame if you think about it...but at the time that whole self shot movie..and the wierd background noises...actually turned out to be somewhat scary...too bad the sequel ate witch ass)
The Devils Rejects- (it was twisted, sick, and ruthless....but somehow Zombie had me rooting for the badguys by movies end...he did a really great job ,of letting you get to know the characters....and almost get the feel that you personally know them...plus it stayed true to the "real" horror movies of the 70's...with a new twist)

-and all though I am not a big fan of the saw movies....I have to mention them..because I do enjoy the endings and creativity of these movies....its definately soemthing different as well

ghosts"True horror" hahaha. Horror is an umbrella genre encompassing everything from exploitation films to slashers to shitty remakes. To say films cannot be considered horror because they contain humor is idiotic. Even the MGM classics had their comedic moments.
