Comments on: The Best Horror Movies Of The Decade http://80sfear.com/blog/horror-movies-decade/ 80sfear.com - gore, horror and sleaze from the 80s Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:03:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: aphexbr http://80sfear.com/blog/horror-movies-decade/comment-page-1/#comment-6075 aphexbr Mon, 12 Jul 2010 06:39:39 +0000 http://80sfear.com/blog/?p=590#comment-6075 Yeah I know what you mean about the characters in FD2, but for my money the death sequences themselves are good enough to outweigh the characters' failings. I haven't seen A Perfect Getaway, but the twist's been spoiled for me so it would probably miss the top 10 even if I do enjoy it eventually! I did love Paranormal Activity, but I could make another top 10 list of movies that just missed the cut... I disagree about My Bloody Valentine, though. I enjoyed it for what it was and it's not even one of the worst remakes out there - The Fog, The Day The Earth Stood Still and The Hitcher were all far worse IMHO, and I don't even want to subject myself to the Day of The Dead remake! Thanks for the comments though, always appreciated!

It was a good opening followed by characters you could care less about getting killed, similar to the second Saw film. I think the Descent was the best of the decade. Inside was crazy good, and I liked Let the Right One In for its atmosphere. I agree with almost all of your worst picks as well...you got Valentine down perfectly (I didnt really hate it, but it was pointless). I think Id add the My Bloody Valentine remake to the list of the ten worst cuz it sucked big time. I would have added Paranormal Activity to this best of list because while it did copy Blair Witch (which I loved), it was still good. I might put A Perfect Getaway at number 10, as its only pseudo-horror, but it is thrilling as hell. I agree with you on most of these except Final Destination 2.

As you can tell, I'm a fan of Italian horror. Love the classic 80s gut munchers. Day of the Dead (again, the original!) is one of my favorites too.
