25 Best Horror Films of the Past Decade
Looking for some scares this spooky season? Our list above is all treats, no tricks: It includes the 25 best-reviewed horror films of the 2010s, ranked by Metascore.
Writer-director Robert Eggers won the U.S. Dramatic Competition Directing Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival for his debut feature about how superstition and paranoia take hold of a Puritan family in 1630s New England. With immaculate period detail, including dialogue inspired by court transcripts of the time, a goat named Black Phillip, an eerie score, and a stunning debut lead performance by Anya Taylor-Joy, Eggers sneakily concocts a “New England Folk Tale” of female empowerment. A forest treeline has rarely evoked such terror.
“The Witch is one of the most genuinely unnerving horror films in recent memory because Eggers has the guts to earn your fear.” —David Ehrlich, Time Out
