Movies Favourite Horror Movie of the 2000s

[TCE]

SOTD is a comedy movie though?

None of the above, but a tie between Session 9 and Frailty.

I have to also give a nod to the underrated gateway/kids horror film Monster House.

I found the Ring pretty damned scary when I saw it in theatres.

Wheres Jeepers Creepers? Is it not from 2000s?

So this thread is stupid.

Horror-comedy is a generic hybrid that deliberately provokes an emotional shift from terror, suspense, or dread to hilarity. In comedy-horror—its relative—a playful tone predominates, but it is undercut by horrific or startling events or effects.

It's more of a horror than American Psycho.

 

[Kardashians]

Ginger Snaps, duh.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

No love for Scary Movie ?

 

[BluntForceTrama]

So weird The Grudge is never included in these discussions

Of the ones on that list I'd go with The Descent but The Hills Have Eyes remake from 2006 is probably my favourite from that decade.

Event horizon. Don't care it was 1997. It's like silence of the lambs. It's horror but it's extremely good horror. Nothing else even gets me close to the dread in that film
All the characters act smart, rules are set, there are arcs, it has jump scares and long burn scares
It's probably one of if not the greatest horror movie ever made. Structural perfect, perfectly casted and utterly insane.

I saw it in the cinema. Despite its flaws, the atmosphere and especially set designs were amazing. I wish we could see the full cut version.

Session 9 was with William Macy? If I remember right that movie was great.

Edit: David Caruso. But still a good mentally scary flick. Saw that on IFC back in the day.

Dawn of the Dead. If it wasn’t for that movie I never would’ve known who Richard Cheese is.

Some weird ass picks to not have Paranormal Activity on there. I also don't consider Cloverfield a horror movie, but it does rule. Unless I'm forgetting something obvious, my pick would probably be The Collector from 2009. Basically a horror Home Alone with a psycho who turns a family's house into a booby trapped house of horrors, and there's an unaware burglar trapped inside. Genius premise and executed brilliantly. And it's an amazing one-two punch with the 2011 sequel The Collection. Brings the whole story full-circle quite cleverly, even if the opening scene is lame. The ending more than makes up for the beginning.
