Cabin In The Woods is just about the only unqualified recommendation I can think of (off the top of my head) from the past ten years.

i suppose the overrated Babadook is still good enough to make the cut hereand both Swedish and American versions of Let the Right One In

I just watched the Babadook and thought it was fucking ace. Though sadly I can't join in any previous conversation about it here as when I try to load all answers the thread seizes up. Maybe time to start a newer new film thread? Or just time for me to get a new computer?

May is great, The Woman is cool, Red got taken away from him, the rest have been short films, right?
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 14:45 (eight years ago) link
May and Red both make my cut if they're recent enough to fit the criterion. The Woman sucked. Another one he didn't direct by had a hand in, The Lost, would also make my list.
and both Swedish and American versions of Let the Right One In

Tops from recent years:BorgmanLast Will and Testament of Rosalind LeighTrash Humpers (yeah I know it's just me)
Lords of Salem is 75% amazing. I have my doubts Zombie can ever close the deal on the last 25% though.
― The Thnig, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:23 (eight years ago) link
tons of great horror in the past decade imo, most already mentioned - Under the Skin, It Follows, Babadook, Kill List, A Field in England, Cabin in the Woods, Let the Right One In (original),
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:26 (eight years ago) link
May was v good. Can't wholeheartedly get behind the Strangers because the ending is botched so badly. Oculus probably deserves a mention.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:27 (eight years ago) link
Oh, yeah! Under the Skin and A Field in England -- both tremendous.
― The Thnig, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:27 (eight years ago) link
I gotta find my horror ballot and then I can answer this question probably. Despite some definite split opinions just upthread, I think "Deadgirl" is amazing.

xpostThe Bruno Dumont movie? I think it's possible to see all of his movies as horror movies, but Hors Satan is the one, if so.

Woops I meant Dogtooth not Flanders (I saw them at same time and for some reason get the titles confused).

Yeah, if Under the Skin counts then The Lobster would also quality (also: Hard to be a God)

Hated Oculus. Super hated it. The only thing I've loved by those people is Insidious. And that for basically being an unabashed pastiche.
I think I'd like to throw in the paranormal activity installment with the witch cult which number was that?

I've seen quite a few surprisingly good found footage joints mostly thanks to the explorations of jjj but I'm having trouble remembering all of them now
Oh yeah (not found footage): The Woods

Ohhhhhhhhh Home Movie was a good recent-ish found footage horror film.

― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 16:50 (eight years ago) link
Home Movie might be my favorite found-footage flick.
And yeah, the witch-cult Paranormal Activity was really good.
― The Thnig, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 16:53 (eight years ago) link
There are a handful of good found footage horror movies, but I agree that I don't support it as a genre because most people have no idea of what to do with it. It's a facile go-to because it's cheap and quick. The conceit probably needs to go away altogether for a decade or so until someone has an idea that employs it effectively.

Home Movie is probably objectively better than Blair Witch (the latter of which was really only effective for me when I first saw it at a preview screening and had no idea what it was).
― Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link
I've heard of Resolution and want to check it out. Absentia, too. There's a good review of that one here.
― the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 17:14 (eight years ago) link
Absentia was very good but not quite top 10 for me. Likewise yellowbrickroad. Both well worth watching and I'll probably rewatch both.
I've never seen Home Movie!
Looked super promising but sorely disappointed me: mama, thale, the woman, the reeds, that movie about the guy in the wilderness who mails haunted packages to ppl.
― banned on ixlor (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link

You mean the new Creep or the subway one? I'm assuming new, which I haven't seen. Subway one is so-so (and I think possibly too old for the remit of this thread? Early '00s iirc).

New creep is worth seeing. More than good less than great.

The imaginary horror film being made inside Berberian Sound Studio is plenty spooky. It gave me a bigger dosage than most horror films so I think it has a substantial claim.
Teeth is a pretty good laugh.
