Favorite Horror from the 2020s
No one ever mentions "The Dark and the Wicked" It's legitimately one of my favorite horror films of the last few years. Dark atmosphere, bleak, disturbing, and with genuine scares. More on reddit.com

Movies like Sinister,Don’t Listen (2020), Hell House LLC
This is an unpopular opinion lol, but the 1st Paranormal Activity. The fact there werent a whole host of characters, we never saw the ghost and the ending scared the hell out of me. It was very effective. The rest of the series is terrible. Another would be Insidious. The musical score for this was phenomenal. It made you feel uneasy even before we knew what was happening to Dalton. More on reddit.com

Don't Listen (2020) A nice Spanish horror movie.
I really enjoyed it. Nothing groundbreaking but definitely a worthwhile watch, especially for those of us who enjoy paranormal horror. The ending definitely surprised/shook me. More on reddit.com

May 3, 2021 - I don’t know if this is a horror movie as much as it is a love story? Or a dark comedy? What I do know is that it’s gory and it’s great. Katherine Langford as Mara is just awesome and Spontaneous is a hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride through a really screwed up situation.

February 1, 2021 - Brandon Cronenberg has really created a unique, unsettling film and it’s clear that he’s been influenced by his father’s films. That being said, this movie was very much his own, with his own stamp on it. A wonderfully acted, written, and directed movie - one of the few “must watch” movies of 2020.

December 29, 2021 - During an exceptionally scary year, genre fans were able to find solace in a creative batch of horror movies. In a sign of the times, many titles mimicked the isolation of quarantine, with protagonists trapped deep in the ocean (“Underwater”), at a snowy retreat (“The Lodge”), in an Airbnb from hell (“The Rental”) or even in their own minds (“Possessor,” “Relic”). Variety has picked 18 of the best titles of 2020.

October 11, 2024 - Hyams never whips up phony hysteria, instead counterpointing the lurid, derivative plot with detailed staging. The film has little subtext apart from the double meaning of its title, which refers to the aloneness that renders Jessica vulnerable to a horror that she must also navigate solo.

The 15 Scariest Movies Of The 2020s (So Far) - SlashFilm
September 29, 2025 - David Prior's "The Empty Man" is a horror film that endured its own nightmare on its way to audiences. Left on a shelf after test screenings suggested it was a dud, the film finally opened in select theaters in late 2020 during the Covid lockdowns, where it was promptly ignored. It was only when the movie hit streaming a few months later that it found an audience hungry for its paranoid, conspiracy-laden, creepypasta horrors.
