What are your favorite / best horror movies of this decade?

So, I'm probably going to see Peele's "Us" this week and I tried looking back at some good to great horror movies this decade.

I personally really loved last years Hereditary & A Quiet Place.

While not really my definition of "great", I actually really do like James Wans Insidious movies. The first is really scary, the second is really interesting, the third is fine, and even the fourth isn't at least a complete disaster.

Otherwise, I'm not really that big on horror this decade, meaning I haven't seen that much.

What are some of your favorite / best horror movies of the past 8/9 years?

Train to Busan (2016) is definitely one of my favorite horror movies of the last decade. The Conjuring movies as well

Honorable mentions would be:

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Starry Eyes (2014)
Oculus (2013)
You're Next (2011)

So very few. My personal favorite genre.

And so many bad films.

If I had to pick one, I'd say "The Conjuring" and even then it wasn't all that great.

So I'll say that there were a lot of horror films from 2010-2019 I thought were either weak or disappointing, and it might be one of the weaker decades for the genres, but there are a couple at least from each year I think were worth seeing.

2010: Black Rat, Rare Exports, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, YellowBrickRoad

2011: The Cabin in the Woods, The Day

2012: Barricade, Sinister, The Conspiracy, Truth or Dare

2013: Curse of Chucky, Dark Skies, Don’t Go to the Reunion, Vampire Ticks from Outer Space, Weaverfish, Wolf Creek 2

2014: As Above, So Below, It Follows, Kristy

2015: Hell House LLC, Most Likely to Die, The Devil's Candy, The VVitch: A New-England Folktale

2016: A Cure for Wellness, Hush, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Train to Busan, 10 Cloverfield Lane

2017: Happy Death Day, It, Neverknock

2018: Apostle, Kill Game, Killer High, The Strangers: Prey at Night, You Might Be the Killer

2019: Midsommar, Recovery, Sea Fever, The Banana Splits Movie

Some of these are quite low budget (Don't Go to the Reunion and Vampire Ticks from Outer Space), but I thought all the above movies were at least enjoyable.

Dang, that was a good decade for horror, especially horror/comedies, especially from NZ! Wasn't even done with the 8/10s before my "brevity low" light went on.
