Top 15 Horror Movies of the Decade

15. Southbound

My favorite anthology of the decade! Great stories that were all connected and incredible sound design.

 

14. I Saw the Devil

A South Korean flick about a serial killer and the man trying to exact revenge for his murdered fiance. Gets super gory within the first 10 minutes and doesn’t stop there!

 

13. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

An Iranian vampire western you say? And it’s black and white? I’m in!

 

12. Willow Creek

That 18-minute long shot of them in the tent just made the movie. Super awesome Bigfoot movie and very well-researched by Mr. Bobcat Goldthwait.

 

11. Absentia

The movie that made me a Flan-girl.

 

10. The Witch

For a while I wasn’t even sure this would be on my list. I was a damn fool.

 

9. Baskin

I learned Turkish for this god damn episode, you best believe it’s on the list. Plus the sing-along!

 

8. You’re Next

Favorite home invasion movie and best ensemble cast for me. Love these guys. Just typing the words Looking for the Magic gets the song stuck in my head.

 

7. The Babadook

I still think about this movie a lot. So well written, the pop-up book is incredible and I love the monster.

 

6. The Ritual

Best monster and one of the rare instances where the movie is better than the book (the book is very much still worth reading, it kept me up at night!).

 

5. What We Do in the Shadows

Best horror comedy, I swear I could watch this movie every week and never get sick of it.

 

4. Raw

 

3. It Follows

Loved the fresh take on the slasher trope of teenagers having sex and getting killed. Bonus points for being set in Detroit!

 

2. Us

Great acting from everyone involved, especially Lupita Nyong’o. Loved the story, loved everything about it.

 

1. Midsommar

If you would have told me after I watched Hereditary that the same director would direct my favorite horror movie of the decade, I would have punched you in the face. It’s got everything: awkward sex, comic relief, fun illustrations, menstrual mocktails and awesome acting by Florence Pugh.

Honorable Mentions: Train to Busan, The Visit, Bone Tomahawk, Evil Dead
