"Slant's 25 Best Horror Films of the Aughts [link]"


  

          

An interesting list, with some choices that are going to make some of y'all's heads explode. I haven't seen a lot of these (and God willing I'll never see "Martyrs" or "Human Centipede"), but of those I have seen I mostly agree with their inclusion (I'm especially glad "High Tension" didn't make it; I fucking hate that movie). And while it's arguable whether it qualifies as a horror film, I'm glad to see someone agrees with me that Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" is actually pretty good.

Too long to swipe, but here's the link and the list.
