Conclusion: "I think in general the quality of horror movie productions rised in the last decade.

Conclusion: "For someone like myself, who does not scare easily & cannot abide waiting around for some not-so-scary 80s style 'ghost' to make their appearance, the best 'Horror' movies are fast-paced plot-twisty thrillers with gore." - DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsJennifer LawrenceJavier BardemEd HarrisA couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.JamesMovieGuy_117's favorites:
01. Mother! (2017)

Conclusion: "I don't watch horror movies to be entertained always. If they evoke the feeling of horror and create an engaging experience with that feeling throughout, then they succeed as horror films. I also like a little dark comedy thrown in as well." - StarsMichael J. NelsonKevin MurphyBill CorbettThe stars of MST3K riff the classic "Manos - the Hands of Fate" LIVE in front of a nationwide audience!

Conclusion: "The best horror films aren't the goriest. They existentially wreak havoc on one's understanding of the world and human nature. Cosmic horror shatters and reshapes people's oversimplified worldviews. That there are worse things out there than serial killers and silly ghosts who throw furniture around your living room." - DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.Silitonga's favorites:

Conclusion: "The Conjuring (2013) is of the best horror movie in 2010s. This is the Till date this is the scariest horror movie I've seen since The Exorcist (1973). James wan did a great job of creating a new horror universe. The images it offers will haunt you long after the movie is ending." - DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.IMDbmember's favorites:

Conclusion: "My favorite horror movies aren't necessarily scary, but tend to exploit the fundamentals of the genre and art form in reflexive or otherwise interesting ways." - DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.NDbportmanfan's favorites:

Conclusion: "For me the 2010's have brought back the concept of fearing the unknown which I always found interesting. Growing up watching 2000's horror, I find myself having trouble remembering times where I was debating who is in the right when a scene or movie ends. I think horror in general is far more interesting when conversations are started more often than people laughing if someone jumped." - DirectorRahi Anil BarveAnand GandhiAdesh PrasadStarsSohum ShahJyoti MalsheAnita Date-KelkarA mythological story about a goddess who created the entire universe.

10. Scream 4 (2011)
Conclusion: "The best horror movies according to me are the ones with a good story and atmosphere that evoke the horror, where the pace is slow and steady with may be few jump scares, and where horror elements are not added just for the sake of adding them." - DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.CyrilMartin's favorites:

Coclusion: "My fav horror movies are one with a good story with an atmosphere that tends to exploit the fundamentals of the genre and which does not entirely depend on jumpscares for horror elements. Best Horror movies are one's with suspense creating anticipation that something bad is gonna happen." - DirectorRobert EggersStarsRobert PattinsonWillem DafoeValeriia KaramanTwo lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.rubyfruit76's favorites:
01 The Lighthouse (2019)
02 Hereditary (2018)
03 The Babadook (2014)
04 It Follows (2014)

09 Annihilation (2018)
10 Don't Breathe (2016)
Conclusion: "I have never watched many horror films, besides the old classics, and at first I thought that I might not have even seen ten made in the past decade. I think it's because of A24 that I actually watched many more than ten and that I would recommend most of them. Netflix, Jordan Peele, and especially the directors that put empowered women in the lead roles of several of these smart films also get a lot of credit. "
