The 50 Greatest Horror Movies of the 21st Century
According to Rolling Stone magazine.
I’ve seen about 30 movies on the list. Even though it only has 16 years to play with, be warned. There are several absolute crap films listed, including–
Sinister, which is a godawful mess
Saw II, which I didn’t see, but I didn’t have to see Bride of Chucky either
Goodnight Mommy, which was much too arty and sterile; more unpleasant than frightening
American Psycho, which is no more “horror” than Weekend at Bernie’s
The Purge: Anarchy, again, not horror and not good.
Piranha 3D, which is a spoof, and even has Jerry O’Connell’s junk being bitten off by the fish
The Strangers, basically, a polished, overlong snuff film
Crimson Peak, which was fine, but My Lord, 19th??
The Descent, because when you wanna’ have a girls weekend, who doesn’t go spelunking?
Here are some replacements and solid suggestions as Halloween approaches–
Plus several horror films that were excellent and which I never reviewed:
The Last Exorcism
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Fright Night
