Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead

Ghostship. It wasn’t the most outstanding horror film ever, but I loved the pivotal scene that was filmed like a music video.

Silent Hill and The Mist are what I liked the most

Some scary ones have been

Blair Witch Project
Hostel
Saw (only saw #1)

but spooky films (not really horror) would include “The Others” which I found had a great twist

most of the rest I found to be unoriginal and sometimes even stupid

Here’s a list of horror films of the 2000s. Below are my personal picks!

2000 – Uzumaki
2001 – Brotherhood of the Wolf, The Devil’s Backbone
2002 – 28 Days Later
2004 – Shaun of the Dead
2005 – The Amityville Horror (one of the few films where I liked the remake better than the original), The Exorcism of Emily Rose
2006 – Mulberry Street
2007 – 1408, 28 Weeks Later, Borderland, The Deaths of Ian Stone, The Mist, The Orphanage
2008 – Let the Right One In

I’m kind of glad this question wasn’t about our least favorite horror films of the 2000s. That list would’ve been huge… Horror is my favorite genre because when it’s done well, there is just nothing better. Sadly, it’s not usually done well. :(

Seconding Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later.
Adding the Dawn of the Dead remake and 30 Days of Night.

Some not mentioned already. The bold titles are especially good.

2000 – Final Destination, Ginger Snaps, Shadow of the Vampire
2002 – Bubba Ho-tep, Dark Water, Dog Soldiers, The Eye
2003 – Gozu, House of 1000 Corpses, A Tale of Two Sisters
2005 – The Descent, The Devil’s Rejects
2006 – Bug, Ils (Them)
2007 – Grindhouse, REC
2008 – Cloverfield

Death Proof is the winner though (super sexy Tarantino b-movie – see Grindhouse) closely followed by 28 Days Later.
