The 40 Worst Horror Flicks of the 21st Century (so far)

Apparently Uwe Boll finances his films via some German tax loophole and get's bigger name stars by simply offering an incredibly short production shoot.

Perhaps dates after the titles would have been good idea, so people know which version you're talking about.

mmm Jennifers Body was OK

mmmmmmmmm

mmmmmmmmm

ahhhhh

Hm. I've only seen about half the titles on this list, but I rather liked several of them: The Reaping is interesting if you view it as an urban-rural horror film (whip out your Carol Clover!) and ignore all the apocalyptic hysteria (it takes some work). Untraceable is a just-fine "issue" movie about the desensitization to violence on the internet - I think Hoblit is a pretty consistently competent pulp-maker, actually, and haven't seen a Hoblit I've not enjoyed on some level (tho' I haven't seen Frequency yet, and don't really remember Fallen, and don't feel compelled to revisit it). Constantine is a playful noirish delight, if admittedly silly, that I've seen eight or nine times by now; the visions of hell and the demons are inventive and original, the cat-as-portal scene is priceless, there's a marvelous "bit" with a spider, and the film has strong, shameless acting throughout: it's certainly Keanu's finest moment, and the supporting cast (Rachel Weisz, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor-Vince, Peter Stormare, Shia LaBoeuf, and Djimon Hounsou) are all great. I liked Mirrors on first blush, and didn't HATE The Village (also really liked The Lady in the Water, too, tho' it's not horror and not on this list; best use of Bob Balaban since Altered States). Finally, I'm not sure how anyone who would watch a movie called Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer could condemn it as bad - it is surely by far the best Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer anyone has any right to expect, no? In fact, it was quite a bit BETTER than I expected - some fun is had with class rage, and a couple of the monsters are actually kind of neat (tho' not the Robert Englund one, which is just ridiculous and kind of gross).

Some of the worst horror movies of the 21st century by me would include Insidious, The Wicker Man remake, Paul Schrader's Exorcist-thing, *maybe* Identity (which I want to revisit), and a little low budget shitpiece called Bigfoot, directed by Bruce "Willard" Davison and starring Danny Bonaduce and Alice Cooper. Now that is one godawful film - if any of y'all have missed it, I'll drop a copy at the Straight office next time I'm there. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876261/

Didn't much like Hatchet, either. Glad to see The Devil Inside is not on the list!

True!

You ever see the French horror movie, Humains, that apparently involves paleontologists (or sumfin' scientific) battling a lost tribe of (I think) cavemen...? It was ROUNDLY panned by critics, but somehow it seems like a must-see, to me. Sometimes there gold to be mined from films critics hate (I routinely perk up whenever Roger Ebert gives a movie 0 stars).

Just watched the haunting of Molly Hartly. Now I want to murder private high-schollers. Gee-sus that sucked shit.

I'll second INSIDIOUS from the comments. The only thing truely insidious was this diarrhea sold as chocolate sauce by company sock puppets manufacturing its internet presence.
