Good modern horror films

The other day a friend asked me if I knew any good modern horror movies and I found myself struggling with this question, I could think of a whole loada good old horror movies but recent ones? The only ones that really came to mind were the hills have eyes remake, dog soldiers (not that recent but still pretty recent and good) and SAW, but thats all I could think of. Has hollywood run out of good horror movies? There seems to be a lot of remakes of old horror films (none that are that good) so another question for this thread is has hollywood also run out of idea's for horror films?

The Descent, May, High Tension (shit ending but solid none the less), Martyrs, Let the Right One In, 28 Days Later.

Off the top of my head.

28 days later had a pretty sh*t ending too, I saw the descent and I wasn't too fond of it, I saw high tension and I thought it was a pretty terrible film...I really, really hated it...the only bit I liked was when the girl was chasing her friend with a chainsaw whilst shouting 'I love you!' and thats cuz I found it to be hilarious

Let the right one in...haven't seen it and dunno if it's available here 😬

Well it's going to be hard if you think some that have been mentioned already are shit... it's just your bad taste that is making you struggle... 😛

Just look through all the bloody topics, all sorts of good Horror mentioned.

🙂

Be happy.

Hey at least I gave these movies a try, you gotta gimme that

Have you seen high tension? Seriously I hated that movie...it was terrible, I'm not gonna advice someone to watch a movie I hated unless I hated them back...I mean you hate the halloween remake right? You gonna advice a person you like to watch it?

Considering that there are at best 2 movies there that could be defined as "bad" movies, I doubt Backfire's the one who's in the wrong here.

I wasn't that much of a fan of 28 days later, plus the ending was just terrible, sorry but for a horror movie that kind of an ending...what the hell!?!

I don't see how that ending was any better or worse than what could have happened.

Should they have found a cure for the disease? Saved the day with machine guns and grenades? I found that end much more satisfying than some ridiculous plot where they come out as heroes. Or god forbid the super-unoriginal twist where zomg, a zombie appears out of somewhere!

Sorry but I wasn't to happy with the whole disney like ending, heck maybe disney shoulda made it...then at least thats the kinda ending I'd have expected and not be dissapointed...

We all have different tastes in horror I guess 😬

4 out of 6 are brilliant. Silly kilt wearer.

Martyrs and High Tension are the only one's that I don't really think are truly great, but solid and worth seeing none the less.

Also, Roman. A spiritual successor to May, written and starring Lucky McKee and directed By Angela Bettis, is excellent. Not a full horror, though. A hybrid, much like May.

Also, we should define 'modern'. If modern counts as 90's then there are a bunch more. If 'modern' are only films from the last few years, then he's pretty much ****ed cuz there aren't very many.

Also, Irreversible. Not horror but extremely disturbing.

There are plenty of great, modern horror movies. Considering that the horror genre has become so popular there are probably more good horror movies being produced today than ever before. There are at least just as many good ones as say...,the 70's or 80's. The movie's may not be as impactful but that's because the boundaries of what's acceptable have been greatly extended, thanks to the pioneers of the 70's and 80's.

I don't know what we're meant to discuss here because there really are a nearly countless list of fine horror flicks out there. They may not be masterpieces but there are a lot. The only problem is having to sift through all of the shit. Since Horror is the easiest type of movie to make there are just so many. Without a good reference website or forum like KMC you must force yourself to endure blind viewings, hoping for the best. Although, even with good websites like Bloody-disgusting and internet forums i find that people expect far to much from horror movies. I generally end up enjoying many horror movies that are panned by critics and forumers. Unless they are instant classics like, Descent, or Let the Right one in, many people seem to dislike a lot of horror flicks.

End of the Line
Rec
Books of Blood
Severance

28 days later
Joshua
Trailer park of terror
anatomy

them
stir of echoes
Laid to Rest
dead mans shoes
Exorcist the beginning ( i dont care what you bitches say that's a good movie)

Thats what i can think of off the top of my head. I know there are loads more.

As for the remakes. I actually like the idea of having remakes. Most are garbage but some are quite good and in some cases, better than the originals.

Oh yes, Rec and Session 9 are both great. Them is quite good too.

I hated Martyrs. I did enjoy them though. Let the Right One in was the best Horror movie I seen in a while. I heard the children was ok.
