To clarify though, the line between horror and thriller can sometimes be difficult to pin down, so when it comes to highly acclaimed movies like We Need to Talk About Kevin or Black Swan, they will sadly not be appearing on this list. The 2010s have already seen their fair share of awful horror films but there have also been some incredible ones that almost make up for them, this list will count down ten of the very best. Every now and then a real gem emerges, something original, inventive, brilliantly crafted and above all genuinely frightening comes along to surprise us. Then of course you have sequels that no one ever asked for like The Last Exorcism Part 2 (which is surely a contradictory title in itself) or needless prequels like Texas Chainsaw: The Beginning.īut it feels as if almost everyone has had some kind of rant about the state of modern horror recently and though it may be justified there is a reason to still be hopeful for the genre. When Hollywood had recycled everything they could, they went to churning out one lazy supernatural horror film after another, such as Ouija or The Other Side of the Door.

As well as that who can forget a series of terrible remakes/reboots like Friday the 13th, The Amityville Horror and Last House on the Left, none of which came close to capturing the brilliance of the originals.

For a while, the genre was weighed down with the horrifically terrible torture porn subgenre as people seemed to forget that excessive amounts of blood and gore by no means equal effective horror.Īfter that we experienced found footage phenomenon and while a few films were able to make use of it in creative ways, it quickly became a lazy way of cutting back production costs and making a movie seem much more frightening than it really was.
Too reliant on jump scares and the tiresome, predictable tropes that were growing tiresome twenty years ago but are somehow still used. In today’s era of cinema, the horror movie is in somewhat of a dark place.
