Arrow in the Head's top 10 horror movies of the decade

IT and Hereditary sucked.

I like Black Swan, but it isn't a horror film.

Never saw the Evil Dead remake, but this is the only time I've seen it mentioned in a positive light. Everyone else seems to think it sucks.

Haven't seen The Guest or I Saw the Devil.

I liked all the others on this list.

Good enough list. I don’t agree with it of course, but that’s because everybody’s is gonna be different.

Allow me to also mention Evil Dead '13 in a positive light. Instead of retreading the original, it finds a unique angle at the story, while also being insanely over-the-top in gore to the point that it comes damn close to matching peak Raimi. One of the few remakes of the last 15 years that actually did its source material justice.

It’s a decent looking list.

‘I Saw the Devil‘ and ‘The Witch’ are excellent picks. ‘The Guest’ was entertaining, but surprises me the most from the picks.

I would replace the ‘Evil Dead’ remake with the ‘Maniac’ remake.

Like mentioned above, I’m surprised ‘Train to Busan’ didn’t make it.

I still need to see ‘A Quiet Place’, Raw’ & ‘Heredity’.

Black Swan is a horror movie, Hereditary is definitely a good film but the second half lets the first down and Midsommar is a step up for the director, The Guest is a perfectly fine and fun movie but nothing special and less of a horror movie than others that have been argued not to be, The Conjuring and James Wan's work in general is bland and generic, IT is also perfectly decent movie and an ok representation of the book but still a let down, I feel like the response to Evil Dead generally has been good, and The Witch is rightly regarded as a masterwork.

I don’t find it to stick out. If anything I thought the director’s previous film ‘You’re Next’ would make the list before ‘The Guest’. Since there was a lot hype around that film... sort of got people paying attention to Wingard.  

The ‘Green Room’ was another. Plenty of hype, and positivity.
