25 Best Horror Films of the Past Decade

Now considered by many critics to be one of the best films of the decade, Jonathan Glazer’s 2014 adaptation of Michel Faber's 2000 science fiction novel qualifies for this list based on a few haunting scenes—a man sinking into mirror-black ink, a baby abandoned on a beach, and a bleak, fiery finale. Scarlett Johansson’s alien seductress might be hunting for human flesh and bones, but what she finds is the horror of humanity.

“It’s an intoxicating marvel, strange and sublime: it combines sci-fi ideas, gloriously unusual special effects and a sharp atmosphere of horror.” —Dave Calhoun, Time Out
