Jigsaw9

Ohh right, sorry, I put it in spoiler tags now. xD (I'm just so accustomed to having this sort of stuff in the movies I watch)

Cool list. Jacob’s Ladder and Event Horizon were close to getting two sports on my list as well. But it's been way too long since I saw Jacob's Ladder, so I got a but uncertain about that one.
 
Event Horizon is great, and a bit underrated. I love the claustrophobic atmosphere in the spaceship, which looks great by the way. The set designs are amazing. If I had seen it a few years earlier (aka before I watched Scream) it would've taken its spot for sure. It gets a bit weaker towards the end, though. Gotta add that. But I like it a lot.

All right, time for da '90s! It was a total pain in the ass to locate as many as ten movies which are not only good but great - okay, maybe not great, I lowered my expectations a bit. xD Sooo~
 
1. In the Mouth of Madness Sam Neill in a horror movie - standard enough, with above-standard execution! Great atmospheric and creepy-cool flick with some very Lovecraftian elements, as Bear already mentioned. Probably my absolute favorite '90s horror film.   2. From Dusk till Dawn An unusual beast, it starts out as a crime-thriller, then kind of turns into a horrorfest with some funny gags. Robert Rodriguez is always good in the "high-budget B-movie" type department, as evident here.   3. Misery Excellent (dare I say one of the best) Stephen King adaptation, almost solely depending on the talents of James Caan and Kathy Bates. Needless to say, their acting is superb, especially Kathy doing the demented ex-nurse.   4. Jacob’s Ladder Totally creepy and surreal nightmare-like flick where reality and visions blur together (or do they? dun-dun-duuun). 'Nuff said, fans of weird mindfuck movies must see this one.   5. Braindead A true horror-comedy classic, very crazy, very gross and lots of fun... back when Peter Jackson wasn't busy chasing hobbits and elves, heh.   6. Scream A nice homage / critique / meta-look at the slasher subgenre, through a kind of teen-horror type setting. I chose this more for the sheer nostalgic value it holds for me, saw this when I was like 12.   7. Audition One of those "....oh shit" movies, haha. If you've seen it you know what I mean, if not - go see it right now! An unsettling ride, that's for sure.   8. Event Horizon Another solid horror with Sam Neill, this time with a good deal of sci-fi thrown in. To me, the interior and horrors of the titular ship almost rival Giger's fantastically otherworldly designs for Alien.   9. Army of Darkness This is the part where I'm just rounding out my list to have 10 movies. xD This is an okay movie, quite hilarious, not scary at all but that probably wasn't the point to begin with.   10. Hellraiser: Bloodline Probably the most decent Hellraiser movie after the first two. The ones after this were surprisingly enjoyable too actually (except for the horrific remake).

Since people don't seen interested we'll just jump to the 90's. This is a hard one if you ask me. The year that horror "died". Ok, it wasn't as bad as I make it out to be. But it's still the weakest decade ever IMO.
 
1. Braindead
What a I supossed to say about this masterpiece? It's hilarious from begining to end. The keywords here are blood, blood and more blood. Because that is what this is; a film full of blood. This is Peter Jackson at his best.
 
2. Army of Darkness
This is somewhat of an underrated film if you ask me. It's got a huge cult following, but is kinda looked fown upon because of its huge amoutn of slapstick humour. And it's less bizarre than the two others. And while this probably is the weakest of the three, it's stilla  great film.
 
3. Audition
A slow drama that suddenly explodes and gets fucked up. You just have to love that.
 
4. Ringu
This was one of the first films of its kind, isn't it? The new wave of terrorizing "J-horror" that scared the living shit of out people for years to come. That kinda says it all, doesn't it? Atmospheric, terrorizing and mean.
 
5. Wild Zero
This is one of those crazy, Japanese films that you've just got to love. This cult film stars Masashi Endô who plays a rockabillyfan who friggin' love Guitar Wolf. And who else stars in this film? Well, I'll tell you that. Guitar fucking Wolf! That's right. Guitar Wolf! How cool is that? Should be more than enough to get a hold of your interest. This is a badass film from start to finish.
 
6. Sleepy Hollow
I've always had a weak spot for Tim Burton and his directorial style, but this is one of my favourites of his. Visually stunning film with a great atmosphere and a fabolous Johnny Depp. It's a great, and somewhat underrated film.
 
7. Bram Stoker's Dracula
This is a great, semi-erotic gothic horror film with a brilliant Gary Oldman in the lead. The atmosphere is great, but my favourite part of this film is probably the use of shadows. It's absolutely chilling and geat. You gotta love it!
 
8. In The Mouth of Madness
This seems to be a love/hate type of film. I love it. I think it's great. It is at times very Lovecraftian, but at other times it doesn't fee like anything close to Lovecraftian. I think that's quite exiting.
 
9. Tremors
Top-rate special effects, a superb Kevin Bacon and lots and lots of fun. Is it possible not to love this film? I mean... this is awesome.
 
10. Scream
I've got a love/hate relationship to this film. It' a great film and it makes lots of fun of the slasher genre, but on the other hand it always struck me as the film that killed the genre completely. But it's a great film. It really is.
 
 
And you have films like Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, Misery and so on that you easily can include on a horror list. I didn't do this now, though, as you can see. But some other day I might have included them.
 
 
 
I'll add some links later.

Big Bad Wolves - Apparently Tarantino said something like this was the best movie of last year... Well, I wouldn't vouch for that but it was a decent and pretty cool experience. This flick is like a mashup of drama, thriller, black comedy and some very toned-down torture porn, and rises some interesting moral questions. All in all, quite a nice movie - reminded me of those Korean revenge themed flicks a bit.

sorry i had to 

Great, another useless pair of releases. Tho might be cool to hear the live album.

Not once during the Quiet Family was I horrified but more so interested to see what happens next.
 
Here is my list 00 to 09, unless otherwise stated, it is determined by my horror or terror for the characters and less so for my scare or shock. A warning of possible spoilers ahead but I tried to limit them.
 
10)   Shutter
This is the movie that gave me ultimate respect for Thai horror. It is a typical ghost plot but IMO, it displays the full range of horror possible such as mood, tempo, atmosphere, false safety...
 
9)      One Missed Call
The beauty of this film is the imminent doom from something simple such as a ringtone. I especially like how Miike was able to twist a simple and innocent ringtone to something sinister.
 
     Saw
 
The main trait, I particularly like about this are the decisions proposed to the characters. They are horrible but still teaches you the lesson life is worth living even with the suffering. It is a simple film but the plot is something I have never seen or experienced before.
 
7)      The Descent
Darkness is a bitch and what is scarier is knowing there are unknowns that lies within it.  Well a reason to watch "six chicks with picks" is not bad too.
 
6)      Dumplings
This is the type of film that builds up to an eventual horrific reveal. What is especially discerning is the possibility of this actually happening in the black market. The ending stare is especially sickening as it shows the unapologetic nature of the actions of some people and their desires outweighing morals and ethics.
 
5)      Ju-On the Grudge
This is essentially the white-gowned girl fucking up my heartbeat movie. Many things have been said about this film already from reviews and such. It is an essential j-horror film only recommended if you haven't been desensitized by other harsher horror movies.
 
4)      The Hills Have Eyes
This is the first movie that made me uncomfortable at a very young age. The rape is scene was especially what I detest the most. Of all crimes possible, rape will always be the one I detest the most and this one shows one where help was possible. As well, other atrocities are shown just as horrific.
 
3)      28 Days Later
As stated before, running-aggressive zombies is just not a thought I particularly like to have. Secondary to this is the study of the male psyche or behaviour when faced with the dystopia of limited women.
 
2)      Funny Games
This is a film where the viewer gets to explore the feeling of helplessness and demeaning to an ultimate level at least in my opinion. There is very little bloodshed and the main villains are "normal" looking people. This movie ends with some loud grunge rock movie leaving me with an even rougher feeling in my stomach from what I have just witnessed and viewed.
 
1)      The Chaser
This is quite a thrilling and suspenseful ride of a movie that had me down right immersed in the movie emotionally for the first time ever. The main suspense is the use of my favourite Hitchcock technique where the audience knows what the villain is up to but unknown to the main hero. This technique often creates frustration for the viewer and this becomes especially frustrating by the pre-climax as a victim nearly escapes from the villain. Think Taion but there being hope even though it was only a sliver. What sets this a part from Hills Have Eyes is that the hope is held throughout the film making me constantly attached to the character. The final result is not final until the climax ends but with the Hills, the family has nothing to lose after everything they have gone through and their still desolate position set the ending even before the movie ends.

If I understood it correctly, there should be some sort of announcement at 03/31 midnight.
 
  (so in about 2.5 hours?)

^ Superb idea! You have a nice list, although totally different from mine (as you will soon see), however I did enjoy some of the movies you listed. The Call of Cthulhu was a really cool experiment and Happiness of the Katakuris is one fucked-up weirdfest alright, haha. Eden Lake is a good one for people who wanna check out more "real-life"-like horror. Somehow The House of the Devil completely went by me - there were instances in the middle when the tension was rising but somehow nothing really happened till the end, so I felt a bit bored. They sure made their best to recreate that '70s vibe tho, so props for that.
 
Anyway, here's my list. "Post-2000's" was too big of a period, so I narrowed it down to 11 instead of 10, hah!
 
1. REC
Excellent Spanish horror of the handheld-cam / found footage variety. It flows really well and has an almost constant sense of dread and tension all the way, making it a very entertaining and thrilling watch. Recommended for fans of zombies and the occult (it's almost like a modern-day found footage version of Demons 2). The sequel would have deserved to be here too (more demonic stuff), but I had to make some sacrifices to include other movies.
 
2. The Devil's Rejects
Gritty, gruesome thriller/horror from Rob Zombie, continuing from where his last movie (see: item 5) left us. Only this time the execution and tone is much more realistic and violent. It's an interesting piece for the fact that you practically watch a bunch of demented psychos driving around killing people, and the manhunt by the police - yet in the end it's up to you who you sympathize with (prolly nobody cuz everyone's kinda crazy, haha).
 
3. Saw
The whole Saw saga is good for one watch in my book, however the first movie rises above all of them by far. Very smart, tricky horror/thriller with some fun twists and "oh god I didn't see that coming" moments, it was probably the first of its kind, inspiring many "escape room games" and whatnot. The idea of someone kidnapping people and putting them to a deadly test to evaluate how they take their life for granted is an interesting one.
 
4. The Ring
I'm not a big remake fan but goddamn, this movie scared me shitless. I found it much, much, much more disturbing, frightening and foreboding than the Japanese original. It's like a big drawn-out mysterious nightmare with some very haunting but somehow beautiful imagery and color scheme, and you never know what's coming next. Very stylish and spooky film.
 
5. House of 1000 Corpses
The sort-of-prequel to The Devil's Rejects, it's a much more fun or funny ride. Basically it's a big tribute to '70s and '80s slasher and crazy backcountry flicks like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, only a great deal more kooky and humorous. The visuals really hit the spot with the random weird effects and color choices, and the music is superb and cool too. The characters are what really make this movie tho, lots of over-the-top crazy people.
 
6. Dagon
A Spanish horror based on the H.P. Lovecraft mythos and directed by Stuart Gordon? Seems like the stars were aligned right when they made this excellent B-movie type horror. The atmosphere is awesomely creepy and quirky, and you can really feel that certain Lovecraftian "slowly losing grip of the real world" vibe as more and more frightening things occur. It's not the most high-budget movies as evident in the special effects, but lovingly made!
 
7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The remake of the classic horror, and not less great either! I could've slapped on its sequel here too, which is equally good. This is what a modern-day reimagining of an old well-known story should look and feel like. It's fresh with some killer atmosphere and great evil characters - the demented sheriff takes the cake for sure, almost outshining Leatherface.
 
8. The Descent
If you have claustrophobia, you're in for a treat (or quite the contrary...well you get it). Some women go down into a largely unmapped cave system where they run into their doom. The tension in this movie just builds and builds and then escalates at an "oh shit-" moment, and then all hell breaks loose. It's just pure awesomeness. Recommended for fans of survival horror.
 
9. May
This is a curious little movie, I'm hesitating to call it purely horror... it's more like a psycho-drama/horror/thriller I guess? We follow the life of May, who is a really awkward and weirdo introvert struggling to properly connect with people but ultimately she fails. She finally snaps and proceeds to find different enjoyments and whatnot... don't wanna spoil it, heh. It might give away a hint that the Hungarian title is "Frankenstein's Playthings".
 
10. Martyrs
Another one of those "holy shit-" films. I remember watching this once, thinking it was one of the coolest and creepiest things I've ever seen, then proceeded to get it on DVD and then I didn't watch it for like half a year... yeah, it really hit home I guess. Powerful, gruesome stuff. A deadly mix of psycho-thriller, drama and torture flick elements with a feeling that will linger around you for days.
 
+1 Tucker & Dale vs Evil
Okay, this isn't really horror, it's more horror comedy with a bigger emphasis on comedy, but boy is it fun! It's guaranteed to make you laugh your pants off if you know/love the "crazy countryside folks" type of slasher horror movies. The characters are amazing too, especially the two loveable idiots from the title. A great funny spin on horror, looking at the typical slasher scenario in a whole different way.

Let's do somethig funny. This is impossible as one will leave out som mandatory films and forget a film that should be on that list. But one can't reember everything, and this isn't very serious. But here's the thing: let's make a top 10 list for every "decade". We start with the 2000's, then the 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's, 30's, and the 1890-1929's. You might not have a top 10 for the 40's, 30's or maybe 70's, but just add what you've got. There's only TWO rules here: try as good you can to go from best to worst-worst to best, and WRITE WHAT YOU THINK OF THE FILM! WHY THE FUCK DO YOU LIKE THIS FILM! Why should we write about it? To inspire people to check it out and make it a whole more interesting. Just a list isn't very interesting and I tend to skip those meself. Sounds good? I think so. Oh, and let's take two decades a week. The 00's now, and the 90's from wednesday, then the 80's on sunday, and 70's on wednesday and so on. Hope some people can contribute to this thing.
 
Top 10 horror films post-2000's:
 
1. The Call of Cthulhu
Andrew Leman is an obvious fan of H.P. Lovecraft and 20's horror films, and The Call of Cthulhu is made in a 20's fashion. It's silent and it's black and white. Andrew Leman takes H.P. Lovecrafts most faous short story and turn it into a 50 minute long horror film that isn't just the best of this decade, but among the best horor films ever known, and H.P. Lovecraft's amazing short story finally got an worthy adaption. If you, like me, have seen many, many 20's films, you'll be able to tell that this isn't from that era. It's not filmed on the right equipment and just doesn't look 100% real. But does it matter? No, because Leman still manage to give you a feeling of watching a 20's horror film. The atmosphere, the acting and the score are 100% 20's. You won't get cheap scares or gore, but what you will get here is the most important thing in a horror film: THE HORROR! This is one of the few true classics of the 2000's.
 
2. The House of the Devil
Ti West has become somewhat a cult figure in the horror scene over the last 10 years, and it all started with The House of the Devil. This is the film that really took this man from just being another horror director to becoming one of the most promising, young directors in the world. Ti West loves horror and it's so easy to see. The whole film feels like a tribute to the late 70's horror scene. If I didn't know better I would, in all fucking honesty, think I was watching a film from the late 70's. There's only one thing that gives this film away, and that is some trash cans. Yes, trash cans. Everything else feels 100% authentic. This is, as with The Call of Cthulhu, not only one of the best horror films of the 2000's, but on my top 10 list ever as well. Such a well made, crafty horror film without cheap scares and shit. It's pure horror!
The underrated The Innkeepers were close to making the list as well.
 
3. Les nuits rouges du bourreau de jade aka Red Nights
I wrote a review of this not too long ago, so most people interested in films probably saw that. This is a neo-giallo which borrows heavily from the giallo genre. Is it truely a horror film? Well, one can discuss that. But with so much giallo inspiration I'm having a hard time not seeing it as one. It's visually stunning, well-acted, superbly directed and just bloody brilliant. This isn't as atmospheric as the two above, but elies mroe on gore and visuals. But it never feels cheap. One of the really overlooked films in recent years.
 
4. Happiness of the Katakuris
This is one of my favourite Takashi Miike films, and a really overlooked one. No-one ever talks about this when they talk bout Miike. Maybe it's a bit too weird for most people? This is a surrealistic horror comedy with musical numbers, dance numbers, karaoke-styled sing a long scenes and mroe, with lots of absurdness and madness. Yes, that's the word I was lookign for. Dark, twisted and strange, but yet heartwarming. A hilarious film. This film is pure MADNESS.
This film is loosely based on the South-Korean The Quiet Family. Woth seeing as well, but it's not as crazy as this.
 
5. The Brotherhood of the Wolf
Some would argue that this isn't a horror film, but it is. It's filled with great, atmospheric horror, brilliantly crafted action scenes and an interesting mystery. This film isn't scary, and it never tries to be. But it's still atmosheric and great. Looks beautiful as well.
 
6. A Tale of Two Sisters
A chilling, atmospheric horror film that feels very classy. It's an atmospheric piece, and all in all, that's where its greatness lies. The atmospheric is absolutely brilliant.
 
7. Versus
This is as much action as it is horror, but I just can't leave it out. You get a bit of everything here. Zombies, gunplay, sword fights, martial arts and gangsters, and it's all so well-coreographed and funny it's hard not to like it. There's a reason why this has gained a cult following over the years. There's nothing like it.
 
8. Eden Lake
I thought this was awful the first time I saw it, but I accedently watching it a few years ago and came to my senses and realized what an amazing film this is. Provocative, brutal, very effective and relentlessly upsetting flick. This film makes you wish you were in the film and could kick some very serious ass. Really.
 
9. All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
This is probably the most original slasher since Scream, which again might be the most original one since Halloween. But this is a lot better than Scream. Surprisingly intelligent, intense and fun horor film with many a surprises throughout the film. One of the biggest surprises of the 2000's IMO as I had no expectations whatsoever.
 
 
10. Frankenweenie
Frankenweenie is Tim Burton close to his best. Black and white, stop-motion animation movie that is a huge parody and homage to Frankenstein, but also pay homage to a billion other great horor films. This isn't a scary horror film. It's charming and sweet, and just so much fun. As I said, among Tim Burton's best (only Big Fish is better), and that should say it all.
 
 
 
Some of these could have been swapped with another film, though. Mainly thinking about the 4-5 last ones. Been some very good film the last 14 years.

Snowpiercer - International debut (I think?) of the Korean director who made The Host, with a nice cast (Tilda Swinton, yayyy). Kinda typical distopian story with the only interesting bit being the setting - which is a big-ass train holding what's left of humanity after the start of an artificially induced ice age type thingie (good job, scientists! lol). Anyway, it was pretty epic, lots of cool visuals and interesting bits.

@indigo: OMG Snowpiercer is out finally?? Definitely gonna check it out, thanks for mentioning.
Also agreed, Stoker was an interesting experience.
 
Dogtooth [a.k.a. Kynodontas] - F'ed up movie about a family keeping their kids (well they're practically almost grown ups I guess) locked away from the outside world. Not your usual locked-up torture flick tho, still, quite sick. Not much story to it but it was good for one watch.
 
Naked Killer - Hilarious early '90s action/crime movie from Hong Kong... totally over the top and cheesy, and full of ridiculous dialogue and great moments. Nicely vivid and clear visuals too (and lotsa boobies and that sort of stuff, hah).
* note @Bear: the main villain is the same actress as in Red Nights

Snowpiercer - International debut (I think?) of the Korean director who made The Host, with a nice cast (Tilda Swinton, yayyy). Kinda typical distopian story with the only interesting bit being the setting - which is a big-ass train holding what's left of humanity after the start of an artificially induced ice age type thingie (good job, scientists! lol). Anyway, it was pretty epic, lots of cool visuals and interesting bits.

^ They are recording and mixing stuff, also had some sort of shoot (dunno if video or photo), according to what I could find out from Jin's recent tweets.

Small twitter update: the band has been recording since yesterday.

* CAT5 slowly transforms into GOAT5

I expected a lot worse from that description, lmao. It sounds okay to me music-wise but please don't tell me this one is also about his mom or I'm instantly never going to look up translations of this ever. About 5-6 songs is enough geez louise.
 
 

 
groovy.
