Top 5 Horror movies of the 21st century!!!!!! with detail

[SLYTHE U UP]

Well i'm a big horror fan but it just seems that horror movies are just getting over head and just not scary anymore, but i'm going to be serious and name the 5 horror films of the 21st century that I thought were decent.

1. Grudge 2

2. Pulse

3. The Descent

4. Amytivvle Horror

5. Dawn of the dead, You may think none of the movies are scary but if you were in these peoples shoes you'd probably think to your self this is scarier then I thought first theres

The Grudge 2: Your in a foriegn country you barely know anybody and there a little boy and girl who are blue and make wierd noises, also people dying in front of you.

Pulse: You find out your boyfriend,girlfriend is dead and he hung himself in front of you, people keep commiting suicide right in front of your face,(jumping off watertowers),and theres a computer virus that the dead go through and the grab your head and take your will to live, and the only way to keep them out is redtape.

The Descent: First of all your with 5 other girls and your going in a cave that you think its a tourist cave, but your leader knows its not a tourist cave its a cave that has never even been found before, everybody finds out when there exit back gets clogged by rocks.There leader tells them that she wanted to name the cave and explore it. Worst of all the main character in the begining of the movie gets in a car crash and her husband gets three construction poles right through his head:eek: .But the main character sees something in the dark like a white man, very white. They walk a few more steps and they stop to look around, there bones everywhere.A women has a camera with night vision then when she turns the camera there a vampire looking thing standing behind a women. The all go through the cav because there is another way out, everyone dies except for the last two. The leader accidentally killed her friend because the friend was walking behind her and axed her in her neck. The main character falls in a hole with skulls and devoured bodies,(the monsters eat your body)She kills about 4 of them down there and eventually she finds the leader, she knows that the leader killed that one friend but I cannot tell you why,A bunch of the monsters are coming and the main character gets her axe and clenches it into the leaders knee cap, the leader is stuck and trhe monsters eat her. The main character find the other way out drives to the road throws up and when she goes back in the car her dead friend is sitting next to her.

The Amytivvle horror: You buy an incredible house for a low price but you wonder whats the catch. Oh its nothing really, just that 5 people were murdered in there beds with a shotgun blown to there head by there brother and amazingly no one heard the shots, but the little sister who was hiding in the closet, and the brother did it because he thought they were all demons. The people who moved in ,were in for a ride because if you live there that same thing that happened to them is going to happen to you. One more bit of thing is that that house was built over and indian preservation, and the owner of the indians tortured them with bear traps, hanging them and clamping them with spikes.

Dawn of the dead: Long story short Zombies,Mall,Basicaly cant go any where,and your girlfriend is pregnant having a zombie baby.

i hope you changed your perspective of these horror movies now let me here yours.

PULSE? Okay Slythe dude you're dumb haha.
Yeah there was some frequency they found that unleashed these eletrical ghosts that just so happened to kill everything in the ENTIRE WORLD!!
Stupid ending..

[Silent Kitten]

Well, for the 21st Century, I'd have to say SAW. James Wan is just a genius and its twist ending is the best since The Sixth Sense.

But if the poster doesn't mind, I'd like to broaden it to all-time. If you do that then it is plainly Hellraiser. Clive Barker delivered the best horror film of all-time and never really returned to movie making because he knew he couldn't top himself.

[SLYTHE U UP]

Thats true but, was hellraiser made in the 21st century? that is the question

Top 5 Horror Movies eh? I was actually born on Halloween so I've always taken a shining (heheh shining) to horror and supernatural stuff. As such, I watch alot of horror movies so in this particular order here are my top 5.

1.The Blair Witch Project
Now before you roll your eyes, hear me out. When you are watching this movie, because of the way it was filmed, the fear, the frustration, the anger, the stress everything that you see emoted from the actors is very close if not exactly how the actor actually feels. When these peope with frayed nerves, running on no sleep and very little food are dealing with frightening situations (even though they know that the situations are manufactured) they can't, and in turn I can't, help but feel the same fear. The ending as well, coming full circle to the observant viewer, is also a chilling image that I have had flash in my mind days after watching the film.

2.Ju-On
This film was frightening for it's invasive nature. You didn't have to be a drunk, high, promiscous teen to be slated for the chopping block. In the original film you only had to have spoken to somebody who was in a house. The haunting was a virus spread through simple contact with an individual. The kicker was that absolutely NO WHERE was safe, because Sadako and her child are everywhere. As a child, who hasn't made sure that they didn't have any limbs hanging over the edge of the bed at night at one point or another. In this film they are coming at you not from under the bed, but from under the covers, they are always with you, most often rubbing shoulders with you and you don't realise until it's to late.

3.John Carpenter's The Thing
This film was frightening for it's ability to make you feel real isolation, and it's ability to build incredible amounts of tension. While the film can be dismissed as just a gore hounds dream, if you work to place yourself into the film you can relate to how the characters are meant to feel. You are hundreds of miles from any help. Exposure to the outdoors equals death. Your close friends may no longer be your friends, they may be a creature intent on devouring you in a gruesome fashion. You have no one to trust. You are ALONE. The ending to this movie left me speechless, and I had to remind myself to breath as the credits began to role.

4.Ginger Snaps
This movie isn't a particularly scary film but it really works well in capturing the awkwardness of ones teenage years, and the changes that come with it. Emily Perkins and Catherine Isabelle are very believable as sisters and there is a very effective sense of realism maintained through the film as Ginger and her sister try to deal with the changes occuring. The visual effects on the monster at the end are really bad but it was a low budget film so I can forgive. Also bonus points for being a Canadian film.

5.Shaun of the Dead
This film was able to effectivily mimic everything that makes a zombie film a zombie film and then spin it on it's head. Clever sequences: the foreshadowing during the opening credits, oblivious to the initial outbreak, even the channel changing scene, all come together fantastically to create a solid, funny, horror experience.

Well, that's my list, hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did recalling.

Ginger snaps was kind of low par werewolf movie! They even had a 2nd one.

I agree with pulse and saw, but not reall the rest of the movies. Shaun of the dead was more of a comedy. Blair Witch was very boring to me, and i havent seen grudge 2 because the first one was a joke of a movie. Omen was boring but i was suprised no one has that on here. Black Christmas will hopefully win a spot, I really love the actresses in it, especially the girl from final destination, she is really good in those movies.

alas, i don't really have a top 5. I would look through my dvd collection or netflix and hard to pick any that were really stand out awesome. Though pulse had some good jump scenes and i enjoyed the storyline (much better than frequency)

interesting choices although none really define Horror, it takes alot to scare me or gross me out, being a true Horror fan and all. I can't say any of the above mentioned deserve the best in the 21st Century. Saw was a good movie but not original the Movie Seven is very similar and was before Saw. The 2nd and 3rd you already expect new and interesting or gross ways to kill someone, so you already expect it therefore not really scary. Amityville Horror the remake was a tad scarier then the original but again you already know what will happen. Same goes for Texas Chainsaw, still can make you jump. To me horror movies are suppose to scare you, not just make you jump once or twice and to me there hasn't been any real decent horror movies in the last 10 years. If I had to choose any then I would choose Saw, which even if similar to Seven was still more original then anything put out in the last 10 years. I would also pick the Sixth Sense for definately being an original and a totally unexpected ending. If you ask me the last thing that scared me and grossed me out wasn't even a movie. It was an X File episode of an incest family from hell basically.
