It’s true that filmmaker Rob Zombie’s style of horror isn’t for everyone. But what can be said is that this film is probably his best directing effort to date.

Powered by Steven Spielberg, the first Paranormal Activity (2009) was a simple and highly effective success – proving to be the “Blair Witch Project” of the following decade. The success turned the film into a sequel machine, and ten years ago the fourth feature was released. Following the same “home videos” formula, the film served to reveal young girl Kathryn Newton.

Speaking of blockbuster sequels, the third film in the Spanish franchise is now making it to the list [REC]. The first film, even with the now-tired style of found footage, proved to be an effective take on the zombie subgenre. The second film upped the game, proving to be even better than the original. But ten years ago, the third film regressed by leaving aside the previous style and adding a lot of humor. The plot takes place at a wedding.

Ten years after the beginning of cinema, it was the turn of the master of the Giallo subgenre, Dario Argento, to create his unique take on the legend of Count Dracula. And more in 3D. The director cast the late Rutger Hauer as the huntsman Van Helsing and the blood is flowing enthusiastically.

Speaking of vampires and masters of horror, Irishman Neil Jordan may not be an expert on the genre himself, but he has at least one great work in the style on his CV: Interview with the Vampire (1994). Here he returned to the subgenre almost twenty years later, for a story of mother and daughter vampires – played by Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan.

Filmmaker David Cronenberg can also be considered one of the greats of the horror genre – his line was more grotesque and visceral body horror. His son, Brandon, decided to follow the same style as his father and recently released the much-loved Possessor (2020). Eight years earlier, the young man took his first steps at the head of a disturbing and graphic book Antiviral, on the future where fans of celebrities want to share their illnesses.

The original Maniac is a film from the 1980s that showed a grotesque psychopath stalking his all-female victims in New York and scalping them. The original is part of the slasher craze and had effects created by the great Tom Savani. It’s the most psychological remake, featuring Elijah Wood in the lead role of the troubled young man.

Yet another reimagining of a classic horror from the past. The original Piranha dates back to 1978 and shamelessly hitched a ride to the success of Tubarão, only changing the antagonistic fish. In 1981 came a more messed up sequel, directed by James Cameron. In 2010, it was the turn of the fun remake, which would also spawn a funky sequel – two years later and ten years ago. The plot takes place in a water park.

Continuing to the land of huge killer fish, how about the story of two youngsters (a boy and a girl) trapped in a supermarket after the place was completely flooded due to a tsunami. The water also brings huge white sharks for company.

It’s not just supermarkets where horror movie victims have been trapped in movies for ten years. Here, the very blonde Alice Eve has found herself trapped inside an ATM next to two “manes” all night while a psychopath with an ax prowls outside.

Here Jessica Biel stars as a mother desperate to find her kidnapped little son home – who may have been led by the legend of a local entity known as ‘Tall Man’. a small town with missing children.

This movie has an interesting twist when a couple of tourists are attacked by criminals. They are kidnapped, but the bandits soon discover that a psychopath, played by Luke Evans, is going to hunt them down one by one. Blonde Adelaide Clemens plays the victim trapped in the villain’s car.

Terror in Silent Hill (2006) is the adaptation of a famous video game that still mixes horror into its plot. Compared to other movie versions of games, this one even proved successful and even gained a sequel six years later, and ten years ago this sequel hit theaters. The protagonist is the blonde Adelaide Clemens (she still here), who was successful at the time, but is now a bit absent. She is portrayed as Heather, the daughter of the original protagonist Rose, now an adult, she must return to the grim town of Silent Hill and confront her dormant inner demons. The cast includes Kit Harrington and Carrie-Anne Moss.
