Suprak the Stud posted... Yeah I thought everything on this list, even those I dont consider straight up horror, at least were horror inspired or horror infused or horror adjacent to the point their inclusion made sense. Split and Purge Anarchy struck me as the biggest stretches, but both qualify as horror in my book. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Because its an action thriller mainly! For me to be a pure horror movie it has to mainly be aiming to evoke the emotions of horror and terror. Its not really about the content. Train to Busan doesnt really evoke horror or terror, its more excitement, and critically thats what its going for. It is, however, horror-themed by having zombies so Im not saying it shouldnt be on the list, Im saying its a different type of film to both The Conjuring and Hereditary, which are trying to evoke those emotions through different ways. This is kind of a genre vs setting discussion as the two are often confused. Like, superhero isnt a genre, its a setting. Here horror is the genre and monster/zombie is the setting. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

plasmabeam posted... I'm still waiting for a definition of "horror movie" we all can agree on. It was me! I don't know if one singular definition can exist. What I meant by a work should "attempt to be frightening" should not so much be seen from the audience's perspective, but from the intent of the author. Death of the author ensures not everyone is going to find the same things scary, and that's alright. At the same time, horror tends to target broader fears that many can relate to - death, deformation, existentialism, anxiety, depression, grief, torture, powerlessness - but most importantly, I think a sense of the unknown and unexplained plays a huge role in making something horror. The zombies make Train to Busan a horror movie because we struggle with what comes after death; if this mindless, hungering drone is what we become, the zombies become a threat because it's an undesirable outcome. That's the intent of the film - whether you personally find zombies scary anymore, or think they're totally overdone & overexposed is irrelevant. That's what I'm trying to get at when I say "attempt to be frightening". --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://www.instagram.com/horror_obscurities/ ...

6. The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (161 points) Why I Chose It: The VVitch, Robert Eggers' debut film, represented the most clear shift in the decade to arthouse, elevated horror pseudo-blockbusters. A surprising box-office hit, The VVitch impressed even more with its fanatical attention to detail, religious subject matter, and star-making turn by a then unknown Anya Taylor-Joy. rockus: 1 thesmark: 1 Suprak: 2 fortybelowsummer: 3 Johnbobb: 6 Tom Nook: 8 Inviso: 9 Lightning Strikes: 12 Snake: 12 FFDragon: 13 jcgamer107: 14 BetrayedTangy: 15 red13n: 16 PrinceKaro: 19 Plasmabeam: 30 Rockus - Pretty easily my favorite film in the group. The fact that its also a debut is pretty remarkable. From the period design, the attention to detail, and the work put into researching it for authenticity everything feels so carefully thought out that I would assume its the work of a more seasoned filmmaker. It also works on multiple levels. As a chilling atmospheric supernatural nightmare, as an examination of puritanical paranoia, and just on a purely sensory level with a great score and how good it looks. It also gave the world two of the biggest breakout stars in recent years with Anya TaylorJoy and Charlie as Black Phillip, becoming the most iconic animal star in recent memory. Thesmark - The language, sets/location, cinematography, clothes, its just a wholly unique level of authenticity, filled with atmosphere. The cast (featuring the breakout performance for Anya Taylor-Joy) and the score fit perfectly too. Beyond just themes (arrogance/pride of man being able to conquer nature/the unknown, patriarchy and the place of women in young America (along with their burgeoning womanhood), the tension keeps rising so effectively, and theres a human element to all of it: the characters are not just there to be symbols for something. And what an ending! Ive seen The Witch a couple of times now and it continues to delight me and yes, it is my favorite film in the whole ranking. Its funny, the only change I thought about for the movie is not to reveal whether the witches are real or not less than 10 minutes into the movie. Then again, there are plenty of movies like that where the whole thing rides the line between madness and the thing being real only for the movie to lose steam at the end once we know-moving it up to the beginning makes the film not about that anymore. Suprak - Holy shit was this one bleak. The film opens up and in the first five minutes a baby is kidnapped by a witch and is then murdered with a large knife. And then things get worse. Thats as ok as the characters in this movie are going to get. Usually in horror movies there is some level of happiness. Like obviously the characters arent happy when theyre getting butchered but theres at least some point in the movie where the film is ok letting you know that happiness, as a concept, still exists and these characters felt that at one point. Not here. In The VVitch, happiness is a word that maybe one of these characters saw in a book one time and then fell to their knees and started to pray because they were afraid reading about it might be sinful. It is a heavy, dark film that just slowly beats you down and beats you down until you feel almost just as desperate in the family in the movie. And I think I love it. I checked on Rotten Tomatoes after watching this, and the sort of common complaint from audience viewings was that it was just kind of boring and I can understand where they were coming from, even if I dont agree. Like, I was watching this and it was pretty clearly heading towards the end and I remember thinking to myself, I bet this absolutely bombed audience scores because it isnt really what youre expecting from something that markets itself as a horror movie. There isnt a spooky clown showing up and going BLARGHARGHARGHBOOOOO and you dont have any sort of demon popping up from the dark to bite someone in the throat or anything like that. If someone was to ask me if this was scary, Id probably respond with a No, but because it is more complicated than that. Where The VVitch succeeds, at least for me, was this constant and unrelented feeling of dread where I wasnt maybe jumping out of my seat, but I felt like I was clenching my jaw the entire time. It is this really interesting focus on this one family and how they slowly lose their mind and turn on each other while none of them know what the hell is going on. The characters were great and I was shocked how much I liked this cast. I can see why this launched Anna Taylor Joys career and even the child actors were excellent. There are so many great scenes here and this was one of the films on this list where I really lost track of time. Like I felt like it just started and then all of a sudden I realized an hour had passed and they were coming up on the final act. I thought it might be hard to follow at first because of how close they try to keep the dialogue to the period, but it works really well to help reinforce the atmosphere and by the end I barely noticed. The atmosphere in this movie is excellent. I love how that hopelessness builds up over time, and at a certain point the which almost feels ancillary. You have the baby disappearing, and the corn is rotten and they cant catch any food and the father is letting Anna Taylor Joy take the blame and each thing adds up over time to the point where you are basically just begging for these people to have something go their way but it never does. The payoff is great too, and the scenes where the dad is begging for his kids to be spared for his pride or when he is asking Anna Taylor Joy to confess are just so good. Everything just builds on each other and it was so nice to sit down with a film where the horror comes from this creeping dread and hopelessness and not LOUD MUSIC JUMP SCARES BOO. One thing I think I wouldve liked to change was the ending. I had one in my from roughly the two-thirds mark, where what I thought would happen is that everyone died and then Anna Taylor Joy would go back to town and everyone would burn her for being a witch. Which I thought would be a suitably dark and dreadful and bleak ending for such a dark and dreadful and bleak film. Like, there was no hope for her. All this bad stuff was happening and she knew it wasnt her and no one would even help her because they thought she was doing all this bad stuff that she was suffering from. Sort of an interesting here is why it was terrifying being a woman back then even if you want to assume you live in this history where witches are in fact real. So Im not sure I was entirely on board with the ending. I liked it up until she goes and talks to the goat but then, I dunno, it just didnt feel in line with what I thought the movie was up until that point. And maybe Im just misinterpreting something or I missed something. This was a film I really thought about for a while and it stuck with me more than most of the movies on this list. I dont know exactly, but I wanted it to close out on even more misery. GIVE ME THAT SWEET SWEET GRIEF, BABY. And maybe there is a little bit of that if you assume shes fallen so low she is now being sucked into something where she is going to be causing that same grief onto other families that absolutely tore hers apart. Maybe I sound like an idiot rambling here, but just, to me, it didnt quite stick the landing and I thought there could be a more clever way to wrap this all up. I feel like I could be missing something though, but fortunately this is one I plan on rewatching sometime soon so maybe Ill pick up on other stuff then. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Overall, I really, really liked this. I might be a bit more tentative recommended this to people than I am other top tier films on my list. Like, it really, really worked for me but I wouldnt be surprised to see this pop up in the bottom half of some peoples lists here or even in the bottom five of others. I could see some people being bored by this, and I wouldnt even really debate them on that assessment. But everything here was just so good outside of maybe a bit of an unsatisfactory ending and I loved the acting and the way it was filmed and the atmosphere and I just thought this was a really, really good movie. It definitely stuck with me and I found it to be one of the most unsettling movies on the list. Fortybelowsummer - Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? Something about the 15th century Puritan times is just inherently creepy. I think its because everything was dark and grimy and depressing, but mostly the idea of things like the Devil and witchcraft seemed so prevalent. The VVitch capitalizes on that, creating a cloudy candle-lit nightmare that provides a real sense of dread throughout. I appreciated that right from the start you see what youre dealing with. It isnt something ambiguous in the deep dark woods. It's a real honest to goodness witch that will snatch your baby and grind up his delicate little body. Yikes. Excellent music, imagery, and performances create an unforgettably disturbing tone, and whether its all real or just paranoid delusions fueled by fervent religiosity, I think its the scariest movie on the list. Johnbobb - I called it, upon seeing this movie for the first time in 2015, that Anya Taylor-Joy was going to be huge. In an already impressive film by one of the best horror directors currently working full of great performances and terrifying imagery, Thomasin STILL managed to stand out far above her family. Now seven years later she's taking a stab at becoming my favorite actress. Tom Nook - This ranking is where the heavy hitters start landing for me. First truly great movie so far. The VVitch is solid as a drama film, dealing with settlers struggling in the harsh conditions; a world where there isn't much joy, as they worry mostly about survival. And to occupy their mind, they focus a lot on religion to get them through, as their one form of hope. This leads to the movie feeling bleak, even before horror elements are added. Seeing horror in this setting makes it all the more nasty. In some ways, I wish this one had been longer, because it feels so short for its setting and pace. I'd have liked this as a 2.5 hour film! The actors do great, featuring a couple small Game of Thrones people too, one of which is Kate Dickie who is apparently contractually obligated to have creepy breast feeding scenes in every role she plays. Black Phillip is also one of the GOAT movie villains, and seeing him transform at the end was such an excellent scene. Inviso - Given that this is a more artistic kind of horror movie, going for a more serious tone, I wasnt expecting to enjoy it at all. Yet somehow, throughout its entire runtime, VVitch never got boring. The characters all felt fully-realized in a manner that made for an interesting plot. From minute one, were teased with a plot about a hyper-religious man whos so devout that hes willing to drag his whole family into the wilderness, rather than humbly remain part of the congregation. And from that point on, we have varying levels of faith on-display, leading to some interesting inter-family dynamics. Overall though, Thomasin is the heart and soul of the film, and I couldnt help but feel awful for her by the end of the movie. She didnt choose to live in the wilderness; that was her father. A witch stole her baby brother and let her take the blame. Her father lets her take the blame for her mothers family heirloom going missing (which directly leads to her brother getting lost in the woods and abducted by a witch). Shes accused of witchcraft because she made a joke towards her obnoxious, disobedient little sister. And then her whole family ends up slaughtered at the hands of the devil, or her mother trying to murder her. She only turns to witchcraft after her whole life has been destroyed. I cant blame her for that. And the fact that I can think that is, in and of itself, a solid example of storytelling. Lightning Strikes - Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? A spectacular debut for Robert Eggers and one of the defining horror genre-blends of the last decade. This film combines a fairly straight historical drama about settlers that are cast out of their community on religious grounds with a nightmarish supernatural horror. What is also interesting is that not only does it combine the two, it actually takes quite a while to reveal itself. The film is exclusively a period drama for quite a long time, then it slowly seeds in the horror elements before it launches into an insane festival (literally) of memorable horror imagery. This is punctuated by Robert Eggers vervent style that makes scenes like the peekaboo with the disappearing baby or the Black Thomas scene at the end much stranger and much more creepy than they would have been with more typical direction. There is also a terrific performance by Anya Taylor-Joy that makes one of the most chilling endings I have seen even darker. Whats impressive about this film to me is that it covers a huge amount of narrative and thematic ground while also soaking in a creepy atmosphere in just 90 minutes. This is a short film but has a lot more to it than many films half its length. This helps make the fact that the film does not truly show what it is up to until near the end much more enjoyable as it doesnt keep you waiting too much. Unfortunately, I do not think that the two parts of the film, while well balanced in terms of pace, are equal in terms of quality at all. The horror parts are much more engaging to me, I found the historical drama elements a little dry. While this will of course be a matter of personal preference, I am not necessarily a diehard horror fan and I love a good period drama so to me that shows that they do not work as well as each other. With that said the whole thing is still a unique, mesmerising experience with an ending I wont soon forget. 4/5 Biggest scare: The whole ending. What else is there to say? Snake - Still one of the darkest and most miserable entries in the 2010s horror canon. And its DELICIOUS. The best horror films of the decade played on family - to what extent are our parents responsible for the way we turn out, how parents pressure and blame us even when things arent our fault, how parents are no more infallible than anybody else. The VVitch pushes it to faulty extremes - the whole film balances on a tightwire act of misery, pushing the familys limits of their happiness straight into the dark depths of hell. At the center of it all, Thomasin, played to perfection by Anya Taylor-Joy in what I still think is her best role yet, a rather hapless young woman who doesnt deserve anything that happens to her yet gets treated badly regardless. Its the frustrating plight of anyone who ever tried to just live their life normally but get no reward for it. Like the unfortunate victims of the Salem Witch Trials, Thomasins progressive and free-spirit nature is unfit for the cruel surroundings and time of the world she grew up in. A perfect period piece, The VVitchs attention to detail is nothing short of a marvel; authenticity enhances the piece and goes a long way towards building believable dread and atmosphere to make the proceedings work as well as they do. Its a film Ive adored from the start, and I only wish this list wasnt better so I could raise it higher. FFDragon - BLACK PHILLIP --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Inviso - While The VVitch may have never fully clicked with me, The Lighthouse certainly did. Robert Eggers style choices of black & white with an almost 1:1 aspect ratio are perfect for this setting, and both actors are in top form. Also makes excellent use of the unreliable narrator trope. BetrayedTangy - Alright so Im just gonna be honest here. The VVitch just isnt my cup of tea. Dont get me wrong Eggers proved himself to be a master of the craft with this movie alone, but when I want to watch a movie for fun, Its not going to be the one with dialogue from the 1600s. On the other hand, if I want to watch a movie like this, Im just going to watch The Lighthouse instead. Now that Ive attempted to justify the midtier ranking, I do want to at least talk about some of my favorite aspects. The biggest thing for me is honestly the portrayal of Satan. Hes usually either incredibly dramatic or so evil you wonder how he could have any kind of influence over sane people. Here though hes calm, patient and lets the religious paranoia bring his victims down. Like for Christ's sake he spends most of the movie as a damn goat and still gets Thomasin to join him in the end. Speaking of which, Anya Taylor-Joy is very quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. Not only is she an actual queen when it comes to accents, but she also breathes a lot of life into this movie by having fun with the dialogue. Her line about William chopping wood all day had me actually rolling. The other thing that really gets me is how horrific this movie can get. Like we have witches sacrificing babies and crows pecking at nipples, like holy shit. I was not ready for half of the stuff this movie threw at me and goddamn was it effective. Red13n - A couple of crappy parents lose track of their infant, have two kids consorting with a demon goat and then gets what is coming to them by making their one good kid say fuck it and join the demon goat. This is pretty by the books horrible things happen to a family til we get the interesting twist at the end that yes, the dumb goat thats been running around the whole time actually was behind it all. I wouldn't call it particularly exciting, like many of the movies on this list the point more than overstays its welcome, but at least the dumb ending where everyone gets what they deserve could probably make you crack a smile. PrinceKaro - The story of a christian family with sticks so far up their asses that they somehow manage to get kicked out of a Puritan settlement for being too religious. So they go and build a farm in the middle of nowhere where they can live in the light of the Lord, which in this case means being assholes to each other until it is pretty much Little Jerry Springer Show on the Prairie. Anyway, supernatural forces assault the homestead, and with her toxic family finally dead, the main girl makes a pact with Satan and then runs off into the woods to be a witch. I actually really liked the ending, but there is so much that is unrefined about everything that leads us up to that point. Like we have this mysterious witch who may or may not be more than one person and we also have a demon goat who probably isn't the witch maybe. Everyone talks in a manner that is so weird and mumbley, that I can probably understand less than 20 percent of the things that come out of their mouths. It is so bad that they might as well be speaking in Klingon. Son of a v-vitch. Plasmabeam - The best sleep-aid in the history of horror. An absolute slog and the worst movie on the list. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://www.instagram.com/horror_obscurities/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

After reading everyone's write ups, I'm convinced that The VVitch simply wasn't for me. There are some admittedly great concepts and tragic arcs at play, but I never found myself drawn to any of the characters. It doesn't help that historical fiction is one of my least favorite genres, and the "attention to detail" that many of you lauded actually worked against the movie IMO with the dialogue being such a pain to make sense of. Combine all that with sludgy pacing, and this movie never had a chance of winning me over. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

1, 3, 8, 16, 18. Honestly I like that I'm still kinda rooting for 16 and 18. There were just so many good movies on this list. --- https://www.backloggery.com/betrayedtangerin ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, there were two parts of my write ups I would change if I could and one of them was my criticism of the ending here. I wrote it right after seeing it but after having a couple of extra weeks to think it over, I agree with red. I like this ending much better than what I proposed. I am really surprised VVitch somehow made it all the way to 6. I had that one begged as one of the "top six scored, bottom six scored" Snake teased right before the topic went up (this and one other movie that hasn't fallen yet, actually). I thought it would be dead right around 15. I thought it was fantastic and was one of the movies that flew by the fastest for me. Almost perfect from start to finish. Oh, and unlike Babadook, I thought the child actors here were really good! Even the two little kids I thought were excellent and I never felt like they took me out of the movie or that I wanted to stuff them in their locker. --- Moops?

Midsommar for top 5 horror film of the decade. Looks like another movie I hear too much bad about because I hang out with the wrong circles online. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the VVitch is now the first movie without any rankings in the 20s! Quite the accomplishment. Lightning Strikes posted... 3,4,6,7,11. Pretty decent. Sad that Suprak did The Babadook dirty!

I am pleased with the Ari Aster respect. 1, 2, 5, 11, and 13 left. also just to get my VVitch write-up on here: This is another one I should probably rewatch - I really didnt care for it much when it came out, but now Im a pretty big fan of The Lighthouse and The Northman, so maybe I just needed to mature more as an audience member lol. I always appreciate Eggers commitment to the time period, but there just wasnt a lot going on in terms of story from what I recall. Its almost realistic to a fault, I was hoping for a little more of a hook to it. That said, its visually fantastic, and once its Black Philips time, the fun really starts. --- azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify ...

Ari Aster was another one I was afraid was going to controversial himself into the middle of the pack, particularly with Midsommar. I expect a chunk of our outstanding low rankings are for it, but the rest must've been in the positive/very positive range to keep it afloat this long! Oh and my guess is going to be Midsommar. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion." ... Copied to Clipboard!
