ok lets all shit our pants to something new: post 2005 horror film thread

Could swear there was a poll thread for this but this is what I would recommend within the thread's time.

A Field In England
Amer
Strange Color Of Your Body's Tears
Borderlands (very good found footage)
Haze (Tsukamoto)
Drag Me To Hell
Pan's Labyrinth
Martyrs
Thirst
Stoker
Black Swan
Berberian Sound Studio
Inland Empire
Beyond The Black Rainbow (for a few great bits but it takes patience)
Under The Skin
Babadook (after the hype has faded I guess it's just good enough to list here)

Berberian Sound Studio

yes def, this one didn't get enough love imo

Slither too, that's 2006. so great

berberian is great but the horror elements are virtually nil

Trying to choose a horror movie to watch on Netflix tonight. Has anyone seen The Canal, Creep or Starry Eyes?

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.

yeah Teeth was p good

Any love for Henenlotter's Bad Biology 'round these parts? I've been curious.

Since the horror polls never progressed this far, I'm curious if anyone has a top ten list of recommendations for the years that fall within the remit of this thread. I realized recently that the past decade is the most poorly-represented (aside from maybe the '40s) in my horror movie collection. There have been a lot of good recommendations in this thread but I wonder what stuff has really stuck with y'all.

In addition to others already mentioned, I'd nominate The Mist, The Descent, Inside, The House of the Devil and Black Death.

Black Death hell yeah

Bad Biology: my wife did the evil baby vocalizations in that movie

It is honestly too gross for me tho

The Mist is pretty great, The Descent and House Of The Devil were about 3/4 great.

One of my favorites from the past ten years is the divisive, "hey, that's not horror!" Martha Marcy May Marlene. It's made it into my semi-regular rotation of Halloween-time go-tos.

xpost That's rad! It does sound pretty gross, though, yeah.

MMMM is a fun one, yeah. I'm always up for creepy cult stuff. And I loved The Mist when I saw it in theaters, especially the ending, which was perfect and hilarious.

Starry Eyes is a solid 6/10, hooked me in enough but not massively memorable.

I liked Starry Eyes. ersatz Lynch vibes, great lead perf.

Agree -- she was great and very committed to her part(s)

Been hovering over the watch button for starry eyes for awhile

What is up with The Djinn? Middle eastern cast, Tobe Hooper directing?

Would add to the highlights recap

Calvaire
Excision
Eden Lake
The Children

Yes -- The Children

I've forgotten so many!

calvaire was excellent

google image search for calvaire makes me think i am not down to see that

^^ that could be interesting, especially for the last 5 years - and considering how some ilx users might go for choices off the beaten track. might think of a bunch meanwhile...

Oh shit wait, I did a recent horror ballot poll a while ago, give me a sec to go on computer not phone

Calvaire is not that graphic compared to the nu-French extreme stuff iirc

also it has one of the best musical sequences in the history of cinema imo

oh whoops, it was just a 2011 specific poll i think

eh anyway, off the top of my head:
deadgirl
evil dead remake
the taking of deborah logan
the children
babadook
100 bloody acres
absentia
baghead
the innkeepers
the guest

Innkeepers was great

ah shit, also eden lake. and lords of salem. and hostel 2. and 50 other things im not remembering right now.

innkeepers is the ti west movie i throw down for, as a dude who hates house of the devil

of interest wrt to this topic, btw: Hey it's halloween, everybody should shit their pants - ilx horror crew top tens.

Sooooo...Halloween 2. That sure was brutal. Not sure I understand why people tend to over- or underpraise it, as it's roughly on par with its predecessor. Malcolm McDowell was pretty good in his inverted portrayal of Dr. Loomis as a pissy famewhore. Essentially, though, if you think Zombie's first Halloween was disappointingly bereft of graphic head smashing and visceral neck sawing, this is the film for you!

Was it Halloween or the sequel that begins with an extended rape scene?

I have trouble slotting The Guest in as horror. It starts off like it could be horror, but it slowly morphs into "The Terminator" as directed by John Carpenter.

Yeah, The Guest isn't horror - it's a throwback action movie. And a great one.

Another vote for The Children. (Not to be confused with the kids-in-a-schoolbus-who-give-toxic-hugs The Children, which is also great, but in a different way).

man it's been a slow year for horror, huh? I wanna catch The Witch and that's about it.

Did anyone see Cooties? I heard good things but the trailer seemed to negate the good things that I'd heard.

My list would look similar to the others here, I'll add these
The Battery
La Casa Muda
Citadel
Lovely Molly
Triangle
Found

Lovely Molly was good yeah

Anyone seen the german thing this year with the mom that comes back from cosmetic surgery all sinister?

Goodnight, Mommy. Yeah, it's very good. Goes in a direction I wasn't expecting.

^^ loved it. truly disturbing.

some great choices around here. without repeating names (i hope)here are a few more :

end of the line
grace
here comes the devil/penumbra/36 pasos
red velvet
388 arletta avenue
sauna
the signal (canadian one)
tears of kali

not quite horror, but still worth mentioning : blue ruin

Did anyone see Cooties? I heard good things but the trailer seemed to negate the good things that I'd heard.

it was ok, i guess - a few good gags and rainn wilson. quite a number of horror comedies surfacing this year - bloodsucking bastards, deathgasm, the editor and that new one with zombies and boy scouts or something come to mind. but everything pales in comparison to 'what we do in the shadows' obv.

i mean, is there any need for more zom coms? or even vamp coms for that matter?

zombie comedies pretty well-worn territory at this point. I liked What We Do in the Shadows okay.

and also on a "is it really horror" type of situation, tho truly devastating and disturbing i need to add 'red, white & blue'

I was very impressed by Triangle and Kill List. In fact it's high time I saw these again.

I caught Red, White and Blue at a genre fest some years back - maybe it was because it was kinda hyped in that context, but I was nonplussed by it.

Anyone care to vet this list of underrated horror films available on Netflix? Some of the selections have gotten a round of thumbs ups in this thread so I'm curious about the rest.

The Sacrament = Ti West = not to be trusted
