Plenty of shots convey how menacing and gigantic the titular “Meg” can be as nightmare fuel. The Meg works well within its PG-13 confines as Jason Statham fights a megalodon, shows another dimension with cute romantic banter, and is more than just another of his action stereotype heroes. Maybe horror fans would have been more forgiving should the film have become an R-rated ocean of blood, but that’s wishful thinking. I’m still baffled by its poor reception upon release.

Stars: Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Cliff Curtis.

The rest of the film keeps pace with ease, giving The Conjuring a run for its money. We’re still talking about trailer shots like the red-faced demon behind Wilson because they’re that impressive, and that’s just in a few minute glimpse.

From Patrick Wilson to Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye to Leigh Whannell, Insidious is such an expertly cast horror movie that takes the familiar and makes it exceptional. Between The Further ghouls and “Tiptoe through the Tulips,” Wan proves a mastermind behind morphing the comforts of home into the devil’s playground. The Conjuring might be James Wan’s best haunted house movie, but Insidious might be his scariest. Stars: Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Leigh Whannell.Dawn of the Dead is how you remake a horror movie, y’all. It’s a top-notch 2000s remake putting its own spin on a classic, respectful of Romero’s voice yet smart enough to keep a little distance between a stone-cold masterpiece and a contemporary revamp. Snyder’s eye for stranded characters meeting horrific fates is cranked to the max, while Gunn’s morbid creativity breaks through in memorable ways (for example, zombie babies). Romero’s capitalist commentaries into a killer new beast that helped introduce the concept of runner zombies. Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake is an expertly tense zombie reinterpretation written by James Gunn, transforming George A. Stars: Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Jake Weber, Mekhi Phifer, Ty Burrellĭo you know what my favorite version of Zack Snyder is? The “Director Only” one.

Wan earned Malignant, and we deserve Malignant. Wan embraces camp, randomness, and unpredictability, which is so much fun to behold. In a time where horror’s so reliant on trends like haunted house crazes after The Conjuring or trauma-based storytelling after Hereditary, Malignant defies all expectations. There’s bone-snapping action, gothic dread, Giallo lighting, and plenty of blood - a bit undefinable, but that’s why people love Malignant. Jame Wan’s throwback to late 90s, early 00s horror where anything goes takes huge scripted swings on a studio budget. If I didn’t put Malignant on this list, I feel like there’d be a riot. Stars: Annabelle Wallis, Maddie Hasson, George Young.This article is frequently amended to remove films no longer on Netflix and to include more horror movies that are now available on the service.
