Top Ten 2000’s Horror Films
The turn of the new century saw some really great horror flicks hit the big screen. Due to the influence of Asian cinema, there have been some unusual plots and storylines emerging. The decade isn’t over yet but for the top ten 2000’s horror films so far, look no further than these titles.
- Slither – Alien slugs are taking over a sleepy town. They infest a rich tycoon who controls the other alien slugs. Once the slugs get inside you, they turn you into a zombie.
- The Descent – A group of women go cave exploring and stumble upon a group of underground creatures. The creatures naturally attack the women. But there is more troubling the women than just survival as secret are revealed.
- Saw – The first movie spawned a whole series of films. A serial killer (who, of course, wears a mask) captures a group of people and challenges them to escape. Unfortunately for them, the killer has created some booby traps that would make Willie Coyote envious.
- Dawn of the Dead – A remake of George A. Romero’s 1978 classic. This movie sees an army of undead rampaging across the land. Survivors hide out in a mall (think of the shopping) and make plans for escaping.
- The Ring – A woman watches a video that supposedly kills anyone who watches it within a week. So now she has a week to try to keep from being attacked by the ghost of a drowned girl. Based on the Japanese film of the same name.
- The Grudge – Another American remake of a Japanese film, this one also involving a curse. A house has a curse on it that is passed on every time it takes a new victim. We get to see Sarah Michelle Geller without her cool Buffy tricks.
- 28 Days Later – This British film took the zombie survival holocaust to a new level. A group of activists get infected with a man-made plague called “Rage” that spreads all across London. Besides making its victims hungry and aggressive, it gives them really cool red eyes.
- Shaun of the Dead – If you haven’t seen this film, stop reading and go watch it. A man and his best mate wind up in the middle of a plague of zombies. It is a hilarious comedy with some gory effects thrown in as well.
- Grindhouse – Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez team up again for a double feature. The first film is about a chemical gas that turns a town into brain-eating zombies. The second feature has Kurt Russell as a psychopath with a death-proof car.
- The Others – Another creepy ghost story with a twisted ending. Nicole Kidman moves her two light-sensitive children into an old house in the country. When some weird things start happening, she blames the three strangers and old lady living with them.
