Best Horror Movies of the 21st Century

List of the best horror movies of the 21st century is downright terrifying. These are the scariest films around.

Every once in a while, someone likes to declare that the horror genre is dead, and so far, every one of those predictions has been wrong. Horror movies have been around almost as long as filmmaking itself, and while the genre has always been cyclical in nature --dipping, sometimes drastically, in both quality and quantity from time to time -- all it usually takes is a well-timed box office hit, a fresh new angle or a hot young filmmaker to reanimate it again.

The 21st century has been, overall, an extremely healthy one for horror. There’s been the usual amount of dross, of course, but the genre has branched out in a number of interesting new directions as well. We had absolutely no problem tallying the initial batch of movies for this article, and have just updated it again since last year, starting with the newest and going back in time from there.

So here are more than 40 terrifying favorites that you can use for your own personal Halloween film festival -- and we promise that this lineup delivers. Brace yourselves for a look at the best horror movies of the 21st century.

A Quiet Place (2018)

Who knew that mild Jim Halpert from The Office would end up directing one of the most acclaimed and outright scary movies of the past few years? In his third outing behind the camera (which he also co-wrote and stars in), John Krasinski uses silence -- which can be deployed to great effect in horror movies -- in the most ingenious manner possible. He, Emily Blunt and their three children live in a near-future world overrun by hideous, blind creatures that use their superior hearing to track prey by sound, thus necessitating that the human survivors remain as quiet as possible.

It (2017)
It’s been a long time since a Stephen King screen adaptation really got the author’s work and intent right, but It does so and then some. Full of heart and warmth for its seven young main characters -- all of whom are perfectly cast -- It sets them against an insidious evil in the shape of Bill Skarsgard’s unforgettable Pennywise the Clown.

It Comes at Night (2017)

Was this movie mismarketed? Or did audiences just reject its overwhelming, unrelenting bleakness? Either way it’s one of the overlooked horror gems of the past year. Writer/director Trey Edward Shults is not interested in the whys or hows of his post-apocalyptic setting -- he just puts regular, fearful human beings into the aftermath and lets us watch them as any chance for survival slowly unravels.

Split (2017)
(Spoilers ahead if you have not seen Split) This was the film we had the toughest time deciding whether or not to include on this list. Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan gives it the structure, atmosphere and tone of a horror movie, yet it’s clear now that it’s also an origin story for a comic book-style supervillain and a de facto sequel to his Unbreakable.

This movies, in my opinion are horror movies of 21st century. If you have some movies which are more horror than this movies than surely comment down below.

Thank you guys..Have a great day!
