Yesterday I posted a video blog on Youtube where I counted down the Top Ten Greatest Horror Movies of the Past Ten Years, and I had this at #1.

Does anyone else agree with me?
It's definitely up there with "28 days" and a few others. The scares are based on a pervasive sense of creepiness and wrongness, that build in a very satisfying way to real horror. I think my favorite horror film of the past 10 years is now "Cabin in the Woods", but as a deconstruction/comedy it's sort of apples and oranges.
sharethere's a lot i haven't seen but ya this is my fav although paranormal activity is a close second.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this film was truly excellent.
shareI'm not sure if it's the best. But it's up there.
shareOne of the scariest films ever, yes. But I wouldn't use the word horror. Horror usually entails monsters and gore.
shareFavorite suspense/horror of all time, actually. I could picture myself being Cusack's character; I'm as skeptical as they come. My favorite part of the whole movie is when the clock resets and says "we've only just begun." Just a chilling sense of hopelessness.
shareIt's so hard to find good horror movies, but yes this and Insidious are the best I can recall seeing in the past 10 years, and they both do it without buckets of blood being shed or a group of teenagers being stalked. I haven't seen Emily Rose yet but I have the DVD, I'm hoping it's good also.
