Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

From the top 9 (according to Rotten Tomatoes) horror films from the year 2000 to the present, which is your favorite?

Or select "Other" and tell us your answer!

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Of the ones listed, I'd go with It Follows. Interesting premise, stylish direction and tone, and originality in a genre known for being incredibly derivative.

The Cabin In The Woods is great but it's really more of a film deconstructing horror tropes - I was never scared watching it. Surprised none of the Conjuring movies made it on the list.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I would go with Session 9.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

A Tale of Two Sisters (2003). It's not even close.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

My favorite is The Descent.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

A lot of decent choices, but even not limiting to horror, Get Out is perhaps the greatest film of this century.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Pan's Labyrinth is the best film of all those listed, followed by Get Out.

However, it's really not a horror film is it? Or is it? It is? Or is? It or? Bernard?

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I went with Babadook.
IMO, it's damn near perfect.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Trick 'r Treat

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I like Sinister, Conjuring, Insidious, Dead Silence, etc.
Clearly I have a problem with choosing just one.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I voted for "Get Out," although I don't really consider it "horror" - then again, a number of movies on this list fit that category...more "thriller" than "horror."

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

If you get right down to it, Mulholland Dr. was more terrifying than anything listed in the poll.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I voted for Cabin In The Woods, though it was a toss up between that and Get Out. Both were great but I admit that neither really scared me, in fact, both had many laugh out loud moments.

As far as being actually scared, The Witch takes the cake for me.

I'm surprised Us didn't make the list. That also scared the hell out of me.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

That's a great choice. Fun horror movie.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I picked The Witch, but my other favorite is The Devils Backbone. I've seen every movie on the list, which is weird because I don't watch that many movies.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Love The Devil's Backbone.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I'm not a big horror guy and I've only seen three in the poll (Quiet Place, It Follows and Cabin in the Woods) but I thought It Follows was brilliant. Not your typical horror flick.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Not sure which one I would pick (I will say Trick r Treat is a good choice), I do know which I wouldn't: The Witch. I found more on the funny side than anything remotely scary or unnerving.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

For me, Cabin in the Woods was an excellent comedy; but I wouldn't call it a horror film tbh.

If I had to pick one of the poll options, without picking "other", I'd have to go with A Quiet Place. Looking forward to the sequel.

If I went with other, I'd say The Descent.

There's just something about being trapped in the dark an underground cave with seemingly no way out.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Seeing it in the theater really enhanced that feeling.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Yeah that is a good one.

REC would be mine.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I voted Alien while it consider to be sci-fi film, I pretty much jump off my seat seeing it first time. Yeah, even that stupid cat made me jump on one scene. :lol:

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

A Tale of Two Sisters and Pulse (the original Japanese film, obviously) are good choices. I would have to give serious consideration to I Saw The Devil as well.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I voted Pan's Labyrinth (even though I would consider it more of an adult fairytale). If I had to toss on an other I would vote The Strangers

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

Pan’s Labyrinth by country mile. That movie is sublime. Horror? Eh, not sure about that, but if those are choices, then no hesitation...

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

You voted other for a movie a century ago? ;)

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

I was torn between Let The Right One In vs Pan’s Labyrinth. I went with the former only because PL could be just as easily be called dark fantasy as horror. The real horror is more in the subtext of what creates the fantasy.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

i would also say The Descent and Let the Right One In, as well was, High Tension and Martyrs. Loved those. But, PL for the win.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

This is the correct answer!

And Pan's Labyrinth is not a horror movie. Pretty poor poll choices made by someone who doesn't watch many horror movies, obviously.

Re: Facebook Poll: What's the Best Horror Film of the 21st Century?
 

What genre would OldBoy be considered? I always thought psychological horror, so if PL eligible, I would say OB would qualify. Obviously, that’s my #1. #1 foreign, #1 horror, lots of #1’s for me, but not all time...

My favorite - Lights Out

gets started very quickly and only one or two fake, jump scares (pet peeve for me)
