Worst Horror/Dark Cinema Films 2000-2009
by bertramsharp | created - 24 Nov 2011 | updated - 03 Aug 2012 | PublicUpdated: 8/2/12
Dark Cinema is probably a better desciption of these films than horror, simply because everybody seems to be so concerned about classification and nitpicking what is and is not horror. Some of the films on this list are more traditional horror, while others fit a little more neatly into other genres. I believe a film can be a horror-comedy, action-horror, horror-drama, science fiction-horror, horror-western, etc. Many seem to think this is not possible. That is why I think that Dark Cinema is a better description. These films may be traditional horror, alien invasion, serial killer, mad scientist, ghost stories, old dark house, zombie, ghost town, supernatural powers, disturbing, sick, creature from space, nature run amock, graphic violence, revenge thriller, rape revenge thriller, dark fantasy, horror spoof, horror comedy, explorations of the dark side of life or society, virus, contagion, outbreak, apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, cannibalism, demonic, satanism, witchcraft, giant creature, kaiju, some exploitation, some resurrection, vampires, werewolves, Jekyll & Hyde stories, Frankenstein stories, more descriptions to be added later, etc., etc.
I hope that helps to clear up the thinking behind this list a bit. Also, this is a list of my least favorites and simply opinion.
