2016 but The Wailing is an all timer
As Above So Below
I partial to the first 3 Paranormal Activity movies, but they're pretty polarizing. I forgot what year Marked Ones came out but I enjoyed that one too
Sinister
Green Room
The Invitation (2015)
The Babadook
Not sure if it counts as mainstream but Grave Encounters
2017 but It Comes at Night
Under the Skin
The Void
Train to Busan
I rewatched the first 2 Conjurings recently but they didn't hit as hard as they did on first watch for me
Funny Games American remake
I didn't really get into horror until the 2010s though there are a decent amount of older horror I like, but not a lot from the 2000's

I'll look into all of those, only have heard of about half. Horror is a great genre because it's the first foray into filmmaking for a lot of young filmmakers that end up being a big deal, and sometimes they get actors on the way up or down.Separately, I watched Pulse (2006, American version) last night and the RT score was absolute **** but I enjoyed it with the exception of the end. But that's where I can't trust RT.

I've marathon'd every Saw film in the fall of 2021. Spiral was terrible. I actually liked through 4-5, in terms of the tie-ins and the protege/mentor stuff. Not knowing Jeff was related to to the surgeon until the end of III, etc.B Bronson Seen The Strangers, loved it.

I've seen a lot of classics up to the 90s now, but have massive gaps in 2000-2015.

I live in a college town, like I'm sure a lot of you do. SIU (Southern Illinois University) is the college in this town. Like all college towns, they really make a huge deal whenever someone blows up after attending their college.
Bob Odenkirk is one of the more talked about SIU alum, and I guess he was on Fallon last night and showed his old ID card. Everyone has been talking about it all day today.

IDENTITY is amazing. good thing you put that in since I somehow forgot that it came out in 2003.What lies Beneath (2000)
The Cell (2000)
Hannibal (2001)
The Ring
Red Dragon
Cabin Fever
Identity
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
The Village
Constantine
Brothers Grimm (Guilty pleasure film)
That gets you through 05’. Part 2 will be later
I love Constantine but I don't really categorize it under horror, personally speaking.

I find THE WAILING good as well. was about to include it when I put Train to Busan although I like the latter more than THE WAILING.

why do you hate horror? what genre do you like?As a hater of the horror genre in general, The Wailing is EE-LEET.

I was thinking the exact same thing but 05’ might be the worst year for horror films in history

Yikes, man. Just saw Jeremy Piven in a Hair Club for Men commercial. Seemed like he was reading his lines off a prompter and was sad while doing it.

Dude was on top of the world at one point. Crazy how much work he didn't get after Entourage, I just remember The Goods.

Yeah, relatedly, I was thinking recently about how starring in a big hir HBO show is not a springboard into long-term stardom.
To illustrate, none of the main people from Entourage went on to do big things after. Kumail is the only guy from Silicon Valley who’s career went to a different level. Even the GOT stars haven’t done as much as I expected when the show was at its hottest.
