The 5 Best (& 5 Worst) 2010s Horror Movies, Ranked According to IMDb

Horror in the 2010s boasted a lot of great movies, but there are also some deemed the worst by IMDb.

The 2010s were a different time for horror. Small movie studios like A24 helped revolutionize the low-budget, character-driven horror/drama with “slow burns” that earned critical acclaim and a devout fanbase. Other films, filmmakers, and studios began to experiment more, offering more unique stories and filmmaking styles.

Of course, the decade was also filled with many great horror “blockbusters” as well, some of which were based on beloved IP and some of which earned acclaim and popularity thanks to stellar casts, ideas, and execution. And, as is always the case, the decade was filled with a lot of horrible horror films as well.

10 Best: It (2017) – 7.3

It desperately needed a remake. While the 1990 miniseries/movie is iconic in its own right (primarily thanks to Tim Curry), it is now horrifically dated. Enter the 2017 adaptation, which wonderfully updates the story for a new generation. While the film doesn’t accurately adapt the novel’s scares, it is still faithful to the overall story and characters, and the acting is highly commendable. No one could fill the clown shoes of Tim Curry, but Bill Skarsgård does wonderfully.

9 Worst: Bunnyman (2011) – 2.9

Bunnyman must be commended as a passion project, as it was written, directed, and produced all by the same man. But that doesn’t excuse it from being a terrible film. The movie is a poorly made piece of entertainment on nearly every level, featuring truly horrid acting, numerous audio problems, noticeable continuity errors, and a meandering story without focus or any semblance of pacing. It’s a cheap slasher, and it both sounds and looks like one.

8 Best: The Conjuring (2013) – 7.5

The only bad thing about The Conjuring is that it birthed the “Extended Conjuring Universe,” which is seeing increasingly diminishing returns. The original, impeccably directed by horror maestro James Wan, works wonderfully as a standalone ghost story. It’s very old fashioned in its approach, complete with a languid pace. But all the scares work beautifully, and Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson make a great duo as the Warrens.

7 Worst: Hellraiser: Revelations (2011) – 2.7

Hellraiser: Revelations is such a horribly produced film that even Dimension Films wanted nothing to do with.

After learning that they risked losing the rights to the Hellraiser name if they didn’t release another movie, Dimension Films threw this together in a literal matter of weeks. Not only that, they released it one theater, where it was screened for the cast and crew. This movie was made for no other reason but to keep the Hellraiser name. And it shows.

6 Best: The Lighthouse (2019) – 7.6

The Lighthouse was Robert Eggers’s highly anticipated follow up to 2015’s The Witch (which doesn’t make this list, sitting at a rather surprising 6.9). And even though The Lighthouse is arguably more esoteric than The Witch, it has received a far more favorable reception. Perhaps that has to do with Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, two exceptional actors who work absolute wonders. It’s sure to remembered as a masterpiece.

5 Worst: Alice In Murderland (2010) – 1.8

Alice in Murderland is every bit as terrible as its name suggests. This is a very cheap slasher film made, for some unknown reason, with an Alice in Wonderland twist. A college girl named Alice attends an Alice in Wonderland-themed birthday party thrown in her honor, but an unknown Jabberwocky shows up and starts slaughtering everyone. Like Bunnyman, this is yet another horribly-produced slasher filled with blatant mistakes and little care for the filmmaking craft.

4 Best: Get Out (2017) – 7.7

Get Out is a monumental piece of work by Jordan Peele. It works wonderfully as a standalone horror story that can be appreciated on its surface as a weird body-swap-type horror film. But it also serves as an exceptional piece of social commentary, the perfect horror film for the late 2010s.

Its quality took everyone by surprise (especially the direction from Peele), and it made Daniel Kaluuya a star. Making an astounding $255 million at the box office, Get Out is one of the most important (and popular) horror films of the decade.

3 Worst: Birdemic: Shock And Terror (2010) – 1.8

Again, respect must be given to filmmaker James Nguyen, who made and produced the film himself. He even self-financed the film at a cost of roughly $10,000. However, the minuscule budget is very apparent. A budget of that size works for a movie like The Blair Witch Project that largely relies on the unseen and the imagination. It doesn’t work for a movie trying to be Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds.

2 Best: Black Swan (2010) – 8.0

Even though he’s directed many great films, Black Swan may forever be known as Darren Aronofsky’s masterpiece. The movie was a huge hit back in 2010, grossing an exceptional $330 million on a $13 million budget. Some of that success must be credited to the incredible cast – including stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis – but it’s also an impeccably directed film that grips and frightens in equal measure.

1 Worst: Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013) – 1.6

This time around, James Nguyen was in on the joke. Birdemic 2 was filled with “greatest hits” moments and a deliriously tongue-in-cheek approach. But just because a film knowingly winks at itself doesn’t excuse its poor quality. There are ways for a movie to acknowledge its own poor quality in various entertaining ways, but Birdemic 2 failed to achieve it. It was just as awful as the first, only this time it knew it was bad.
