01. ¡Madre! (2017) 02. Aniquilación (2018) 03. La cabaña del terror (2011) 04. Nosotros (2019) 05. The Babadook (2014) 06. ¡Huye! (2017) 07. Bajo la sombra (2016) 08. El faro (2019) 09. El legado del diablo (2018) 10. La bruja (2015)

Conclusion: "I don't watch horror movies to be entertained always. If they evoke the feeling of horror and create an engaging experience with that feeling throughout, then they succeed as horror films. I also like a little dark comedy thrown in as well."

Conclusion: "The best horror films aren't the goriest. They existentially wreak havoc on one's understanding of the world and human nature. Cosmic horror shatters and reshapes people's oversimplified worldviews. That there are worse things out there than serial killers and silly ghosts who throw furniture around your living room."

01. ¡Huye! (2017) 02. Zombis, Cámara, ¡Acción! (2017) 03. Un lugar en silencio (2018) 04. Nosotros (2019) 05. Bird Box. A ciegas (2018) 06. El faro (2019) 07. La cabaña del terror (2011) 08. Guerra mundial Z (2013) 09. Estación zombi. Tren a Busan (2016) 10. Avenida Cloverfield 10 (2016)

Conclusion: "My favorite horror movies aren't necessarily scary, but tend to exploit the fundamentals of the genre and art form in reflexive or otherwise interesting ways."

NDbportmanfan's favorites:

01. ¡Huye! (2017) 02. La cabaña del terror (2011) 03. No respires (2016) 04. El conjuro 2 (2016) 05. Avenida Cloverfield 10 (2016) 06. Estación zombi. Tren a Busan (2016) 07. El faro (2019) 08. Nosotros (2019) 09. Un lugar en silencio (2018) 10. Boda sangrienta (2019)

Conclusion: "For me the 2010's have brought back the concept of fearing the unknown which I always found interesting. Growing up watching 2000's horror, I find myself having trouble remembering times where I was debating who is in the right when a scene or movie ends. I think horror in general is far more interesting when conversations are started more often than people laughing if someone jumped."

rubyfruit76's favorites:

01 El faro (2019) 02 El legado del diablo (2018) 03 The Babadook (2014) 04 Está detrás de ti (2014) 05 Bajo la sombra (2016) 06 La bruja (2015) 07 Un lugar en silencio (2018) 08 Bajo la piel (2013) 09 Aniquilación (2018) 10 No respires (2016)

Conclusion: "I have never watched many horror films, besides the old classics, and at first I thought that I might not have even seen ten made in the past decade. I think it's because of A24 that I actually watched many more than ten and that I would recommend most of them. Netflix, Jordan Peele, and especially the directors that put empowered women in the lead roles of several of these smart films also get a lot of credit. "
