    Despite the reputation it earned as shock-factor torture porn thanks to the increasingly reductive format of the sequels, Saw is essentially a horror-grown thriller with hints of outright violence and shockingly little gore. James Wan and Leigh Whannell's nasty little puzzle box introduced one of the most iconic modern horror villains in Tobin Bell...

    Brad Anderson's spooky little tale of encroaching madness is all about the atmosphere. There's not much that's inherently terrifying about the film – there's almost no gore, the pace is slow and the action low, and much of it is just a bunch of dudes talking as they go through the paces of their daily grind. But Anderson masters a slow-burn tension...

    In a genre as tried and true as the exorcism film, it's a challenge to come up with a new spin that manages to make the threat of the devil feel fresh and dangerous. With The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Scott Derrickson pulled off just that feat with a mature, heartfelt drama that also chills to the bone when the moment calls for it. Were it not for th...

    Like so many originals that spawn a franchise, Final Destination isn't nearly as goofy as the films that followed. Directed by James Wong, who would amusingly enough cement the franchise status in the realm of the silly with the delightful Final Destination 3, Final Destination, in its original incarnation, is an effective horror thriller with just...

    Yes, Cannibal Holocaust was technically the first ever found footage film. Yes, 1999's The Blair Witch Project pushed the boundaries of the genre in ways no one could have ever imagined. But 2007's Paranormal Activity, the first of a seven-and-growing franchise, kickstarted the found footage craze that persists today, 16 years later. The simple but...

    Paranormal Activity may have been the found-footage revivalist that launched a thousand imitators, but Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza's news footage-style descent into a hellish house of horrors was the most kinetically-charged and outright horrifying found footage film of the decade. Following TV host Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco) on a routine as...

    The 2000s were a decade filled with horror films about ordinary people doing extraordinary bad things to good people, but Eden Lake may well be the most wrenching. The feature directorial debut from My Little Eye scribe James Watkins follows a young couple Jenny (Kelly Reilly) and Steve (Michael Fassbender) on a planned romantic lakeside getaway th...

    Juame Collet-Serra is one of the cheekiest filmmakers in the genre, so it's fitting that he'd be the one to take the tired "Evil Child" trope and turn it into something completely bombastic. The movie follows a married couple, Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) recovering from the loss of a child in labor. To help the healing process, t...

    Antichrist is such a viscerally disquieting and disturbing movie, it's hard to translate the film's image-heavy effect into a quick blurb, but I'll do my best. In the hands of Lars Von Trier, who never seems to run out of new forms of torment for his characters, Antichrist is something between shock schlock and arthouse cinema. It's vile and unapol...

    A descendant of The Thing‘s lineage, Splinter is your classic practically-scripted limited-location starter film with an extra edge thanks to first-time director Toby Wilkins background in visual effects and a scene-stealing performance from Shea Whigham, who somehow still hasn’t become the industry-leading name his talent deserves . Set almost ent...

  3. Jun 14, 2024 · Some of these 2000s horror movies you forgot existed could go toe-to-toe (or machete to machete as it may be) with the greatest horror films ever made. Many of these films set visual and storytelling standards that are only now coming into fashion, while the rest are just great horror flicks.

    • Martyrs (2008) 15 years after her abduction, Lucie and a friend embark on a bloody quest for revenge against her captors. It's a seemingly well-trod premise shared by countless horror films.
    • Eden Lake (2008) Sadly, the gallows humor in "Drag Me to Hell" is the last gleam of sunshine we'll get on this list. The top two spots are taken up by movies that couldn't be any more bleak.
    • The Others (2001) Like "The Sixth Sense," "The Others" is a slow burn with a shocking twist ending. Set in 1945, World War II casts a long shadow, playing into the psychological strain the characters suffer.
    • Drag Me To Hell (2009) By 2009, "Evil Dead" director Sam Raimi hadn't made a horror film for a while, and "Drag Me to Hell" was his confident and bold return to the genre.
