200.

THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN







197.                BAIT 3D
    






196. TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN







195.        HELL HOUSE LLC
I was lukewarm on the sequels but this first one was ripe spooky fun





194.      WE ARE THE FLESH







193.           LATE PHASES







192.             AFFLICTED
Would make a kick-ass double feature with the actioneer HARDCORE HENRY (2016)





191.                WILDLING







190. HANSEL & GRETEL: 
                WITCH HUNTERS

Seems tailor made for ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992) fans





189.    PATRICK: EVIL AWAKENS 
Really solid remake of PATRICK (1978)




188.       MY SOUL TO TAKE





187.       CHAINSAW BABE 3D








186.    JOHN DIES AT THE END





185.                 HORNS

          TO TELL IN THE DARK





180.          RED LIGHTS






179.       BIG BAD WOLVES







        THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE
178.     (FIRST SEQUENCE)




177.            UNFRIENDED





176.           
HAUNT (2019)
I also dig the similarly structured ESCAPE ROOM from the same year, but this one's overall ambiance & finale went even harder.



175.          DAYBREAKERS






175.     EXTRAORDINARY TALES






174.         THE QUIET ONES





173.               MOTHER!





172.            I AM A HERO
an honorable stab at adapting the superb manga




171.     THE MOTH DIARIES





170.        AMIGO UNDEAD






169.THE CABIN IN THE WOODS
Does anyone else think this film has Drew Goddard's original ending for the Lost series?







168.            RAW [GRAVE]





167.    THIS WAY TO EGRESS

   [NIGHTMARE CINEMA]
David Slade's segment




166.      THE CHANGEOVER





165.          L IS FOR LIBIDO

          
[ABCs OF DEATH]
truly unnerving & unhinged short from Timo Tjahjanto





164.          
 THE BATTERY
might be nepotism for me to list this here, but fuck it.




163.                GRETA





162.    AMATEUR NIGHT [V/H/S]
David Bruckner's segment




161.          YOU’RE NEXT





160.        
 DON’T BREATHE
Despite the title, this is surprisingly not about farts





159.           THE HALLOW




158.          STARRY EYES




157.
   THE BURNING BUDDHA MAN




156.               TUMBBAD



155.
DUDE BRO PARTY MASSACRE III




154.                   
LUZ
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen another film with the same narrative structure as this. It’s truly unique. I think it would translate well to the stage




153.      
COME OUT AND PLAY
Remake of 
¿QUIÉN PUEDE MATAR A UN NIÑO? (1976)





152.               
THE DEN



151.        BENEATH
Larry Fessenden's killer fish movie. Not to be confused with the coal mine collapse film from the same year of the same name.





150.     FINAL DESTINATION 5
Gimmicky 3D at its best. William Castle would have been proud. I wish this series was as popular as the stupid SAW series




149.      100 BLOODY ACRES





148.     OUIJA
: ORIGIN OF EVIL





147.            HONEYMOON





146.                 SPRING





145.            SWEETHEART




144.             STAKE LAND





143.                  IT (2017)

I preferred this one to IT CHAPTER TWO (2019). The sequel’s screenplay is far too cluttered for its own good




142.                HELLIONS





141.            THE TALL MAN





140.            PROMETHEUS

prequel to ALIEN (1979)






139.            THE MONSTER




138.         THE SACRAMENT

If you’re as scared of religious people as I am this piece of found footage is goddamn nightmare fuel. Gene Jones nails the greasy Jim Jones act so well he could probably actually start a cult in real life. haha. Thank goodness he’s not a soulless charlatan





137.               DARLIN'

The third in the “Offspring” trilogy






136.  TUESDAY THE 17TH [V/H/S]

aka “The Glitch”. Glenn McQuaid’s segment





135.       GOOSEBUMPS 3D




                           SIREN 
134.     [SOUTHBOUND segment]
Roxanne Benjamin's segment







133.           FROZEN (2010)
Disney is so fucked up for adapting this into a princess movie





132.             ABSENTIA






131.               THE VISIT





130. GIRL ON THE THIRD FLOOR








                   THE WAY OUT
129.   [SOUTHBOUND segment]
the first segment by Radio Silence







128.            DETENTION 返校







127.     THE STRANGE COLOR
          OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS






126.             BLACK ROCK




125.    ANNABELLE
:
CREATION
my favourite in the CONJURING cinematic universe (so far)




124.             THE CANAL





123.              THE ЯOAD





               Z IS FOR ZYGOTE
122. [ABCs OF DEATH 2 segment]
Chris Nash’s segment







121.                 SPLICE





120.         DOCTOR SLEEP

an admirable "legacyquel" to THE SHINING (1980)





                   FATHER'S DAY
119.    [HOLIDAYS 2016 segment]
Anthony Scott Burns' segment







118.            BLACK DEATH




                 K IS FOR KNELL
117.  [ABCs OF DEATH 2 segment]
Kristina Buožytė’s segment. Like a short & sweet mashup of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and REAR WINDOW







116.             DETENTION




115. TOMORROW I WILL BE DIRT








114.THE NIGHT EATS THE WORLD








113.         THE LOVE WITCH




112.                 KUSO
Cringe comedy taken to horrifically disgusting heights





111.                   TAG





110.       GOODNIGHT MOMMY





109.          EXTRA ORDINARY





108.                PIERCING




107.
 RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION 3D





106.                KILL LIST





105.                LIKE ME



          LA LLORONA
104.   [THE WEEPING WOMAN]
Not to be confused with the Warner bros. english language THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA from the same year







103.                   TWIXT
[2012 theatrical cut]



102.          THE GOLEM (2018)





101.    THE TRANSFIGURATION




                
100.        THE WOLFMAN
       [UNRATED Director's cut]
gorgeous blood-spattered remake of WOLF MAN (1941)




99.                    CREEP





98.           MOM AND DAD

I hate the way this movie suddenly comes to a screeching halt in its last minutes but it’s such a funny ride up until then... I miss Neveldine/Taylor





97.       AT THE DEVIL'S DOOR




96.     FRIGHT NIGHT 3D (2011)
For my money, an improvement on the 1985 original





95.            THE INVITATION




94.                 CLOWN





93.             CARGO (2018)

92.               JUG FACE





91.            THE WIND (2018)





90.          DARK SHADOWS

Tim Burton almost in top BEETLEJUICE form here. I’m disappointed this wasn’t a big hit





89.             A QUIET PLACE





88.            KNIFE + HEART




87.                 APOSTLE




86. THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT

 THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS





84.               DEPRAVED




83.                  CLIMAX




82.            THE WOMAN
the middle & best segment in the “Offspring” trilogy. All hail Pollyanna Mcintosh!





81.         THE HEAD HUNTER





80.                INSIDIOUS





79.               MAMA (2013)
feature length extension of the 2008 MAMÁ short

:
       
ROAD OF THE DEAD





68.                   KOTOKO








67.             THE FALL (2019)

66.             CRIMSON PEAK






65.                 OCULUS






64.              PIRANHA 3D

Hilarious remake of Sayles & Dante’s seminal '78 classic

62.                   CREEPY





60.                   BURIED





59.  THE WOMAN IN BLACK (2012)

a beautiful Hammer studios remake of the creepy 1989 made-for-tv film of the same name






58.       WITCHING & BITCHING






57.               GRABBERS






56.                 IN FABRIC






55.              MANIAC (2013)

A surprisingly effective remake of William Lustig’s 1980 masterpiece



54.
WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS
Doubles as one of the funniest comedies of the 2010s




53.                 POSSUM





52.      10 CLOVERFIELD LANE




51.                 THE GREY





50.               BLACK SWAN







49.        「JUNK HEAD」  (2017)







48.                  V/H/S/2
I didn't isolate a particular segment from this anthology because I loved the whole crazy thing




47.             TROLL HUNTER





46.               THE KILLING

       
OF A SACRED DEER




45.                      US





44.                    SPLIT





43.             HOUSEBOUND





42.        VIOLENCE VOYAGER







41.         KOKO-DI KOKO-DA







40.            REVENGE (2017)







39.             THE ENDLESS
An awe-inspiring sequel to 2012′s RESOLUTION




38.                THE LURE





37.          THE CRAZIES (2010)

As far as remakes of Romero classics go: This > Zack Snyder’s DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004)




36.               BOBBY YEAH





35.  BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO





34.          THE INNKEEPERS





33.           GOOD MANNERS
            [AS BOAS MANEIRAS]




32.             PARANORMAN





31.    A CURE FOR WELLNESS

It’s sad Verbinski probably won’t ever helm a big budget production again after his last two box office bombs. He’s as good as Fincher in my eyes. And this is Verbinski’s best horror film





30.             A GIRL WALKS

          HOME ALONE AT NIGHT




29.  THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE




28.           RARE EXPORTS

27.                   CRAWL





26.              THE WAILING







25.           TRAIN TO BUSAN
This had the tone and energy I felt the 2013 WORLD WAR Z adaptation was missing




24.       UNDER THE SHADOW







23.           I SAW THE DEVIL




22.        A FIELD IN ENGLAND





21.      ONE CUT OF THE DEAD





20.         D IS FOR DELOUSED

   [the ABCs OF DEATH 2 segment]

Robert Morgan’s segment




19.             ANNIHILATION





18.                LET ME IN

That rare gift of a remake that complements its original rather than detracting. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008) and this make as great a original/remake double bill as THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951) and THE THING (1982)






17.         BONE TOMAHAWK







16.        THE SKIN I LIVE IN






15.   TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID
                     [VUELVEN]
