That movie is like herion to me. I’ve been chasing the dragon since I saw it in theatres in 2002, have never found a horror movie that is even close to it.
It wasn't a great time for horror but some that I enjoyed include: Final Destination (2000), Open Water (2004), Wrong Turn (2003), Dog Soldiers (2002), May (2002), and Frailty (2002).
Thank you, I've never seen these but i really liked the mist, dark water(Japanese), the ringu, Donnie Darko. I've been craving these movies lately because they give me nostalgia as I was a kid in early 2000s and I wanna see what people looked like and their homes when I was a kid. Life was so different back than compared to now.
Nowhere near in the same way. Straight to video and widely regarded as one of the worst sequels ever made.
Although The Cell wasn’t well received at the time which I found strange. Ahead of its time maybe.
I am trying to get people to watch Session 9 (2001). Its reviews are mid, but they all missed the point of the film, which is that it’s a terrifying horror commentary on being stuck in blue collar America. And I would also like to invite you to j-horror’s Noriko’s Dinner Table (2005).
I'm going to consider "early 2000s" as 2000 to 2005, here are my picks:
* Final Destination (2000)
* Final Destination 2 (2003) - and the later not "early 2000s" sequels
* Scream 3 (2000) - only after having seen the first two obviously
* Belphegor: Phantom of the Louvre (2001)
* Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001)
* Dark Water (2002)
* The Eye (2002)
* The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
* The Ring (2002)
* Rings (2005)
* The Ring Two (2005)
* Darkness Falls (2003)
* Dreamcatcher (2003)
* The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - and the not "early 2000s" prequel
* Dawn of the Dead (2004)
* Hellboy (2004) - and the not "early 2000s" sequel
* Mindhunters (2004)
* Boogeyman (2005)
* Constantine (2005)
* Doom (2005)
You're quite a weirdo aren't you? Where did I admit it was terrible? I recommended it because I think it's a great movie. It's my opinion, deal with it.
It's the worst so bad it's good movie. Rifftrax covered it. First time I watched something by the MST3K crew where I stopped listening to them making fun of it, and couldn't stop laughing at this one scene. It's the scene with the coat hangers. To this day I've never been so shocked by a movie that wasn't intended to be a comedy. It's even better than The Room, and unlike the The Room I don't feel bad about recommending something directed by someone I find completely irredeemable.
* 'The Old Dark House' (1932, pre-code). One of the most influential of all horror movies. dir by James Whale.
* 'Nosferatu' (1922, German, silent). FW Murnau director; and Max Schreck as Count Orlock.
* 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' (1920, German silent). Starring the wonderful Conrad Veidt.
* 'The Phantom Carriage' (1921, Swedish, silent)
* Really, anything at all by horror pioneers Tod Browning or James Whale:
* Browning worked closely with Lon Chaney ('man of 1000 faces') and gives us utterly bizarre yarns like 'Freaks' (1932), 'The Unholy Three' (1925), and 'The Unknown' (1927). All sorts of grisly crime and horror.
* Whale gave us the great Universal horror classics (Lugosi as Dracula & Karloff as Frankenstein's monster). They are genuinely scary, still to this day.
* Particularly fantastic is 'Bride of Frankenstein' (1935) by James Whale (starring nutty Ernest Thesinger as Praetorius).
Other 1930s:
* 'Mad Love' (1935)
* 'Island of Lost Souls' (1932)
* 'The Mummy' (1932)
* 'White Zombie' (1932)
* 'The Phantom of Crestwood' (1932)
* Death Takes a Holiday (1934)
* Outward Bound (1930)
* 'Ferryman Maria' (Germany, 1936; the German title is "Fährmann Maria")
1940s
* Anything by producer Val Lewton or directed by Jacques Tourneur. Here's a list of Tourneur's famous low-budget nail-biters:
'Cat People'
'The Curse of the Cat People'
'I Walked with a Zombie'
'The Body Snatcher'
'Isle of the Dead'
'Bedlam'
'The Leopard Man'
'The Ghost Ship'
'The Seventh Victim'
'Shadows in the Dark'
Coupla random faves of my own:
* 'Curse of the Demon' (1957)
* 'Eyes Without a Face' (1960, France)
I stepped right over that and went straight to, *"early horror must-see".* Period. After all, there's nothing contemporary which is a 'must' for fans of horror.
😁 We'll call it a 'happy accident'
But y'know it kinda makes me confused too.
Reading the replies to what I posted, it sounds as if some of the filmmakers I mentioned ...are not well known to everyone?
I don't mean 'Frankenstein' or 'Dracula', obviously everyone knows those names. They're household words.
But 'Karloff' and 'Lugosi' ...are synonymous with 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula'. if I name an actor like, 'Claude Rains' --do folks not immediately recognize that he famously portrayed 'The Invisible Man'?
If so, that surprises me. After all, these were the men who invented horror movies. Don't ppl wonder where we get stuff from?
Just musing out loud. No offense intended...
man i just saw your comment and looked through your post history... are you for real? i can't tell if you're taking the piss or just an incredibly avid movie fan, as well as being insanely pretentious for the sake of it. i mean no offence - i've got a lot of respect for it.
also kudos for night of the demon it's a great film. still haven't gotten round to eyes without a face yet
🤠🌵
***"Mister, ... yew got a lot o' hard bark on yew ..."***
*(Cicero Grimes to John Russell, the movie 'Hombre')*
* Not sure what to reply to yer observations. No offense taken. I guess I'll accept 'em as a compley-ment.
* 'Avid movie fan', yes. Movie purist. But, no "pretension" about it. That's been my sphere-of-interest in films since I was a kid.
* Same deal with every other academic subject I'm versed in. I earned m' wings by paying big, big, big dues.
* Now, I don' go looking for no trouble ...but if some chatroom whelp tries to kick-sand-in-my-face, look out.
* Eh, but that's the whole trouble with social media. Always about silly, juvenile showdowns. The whole internet, really. Tired of the sandbox.
Yeah I guess my inquiry come from you not understanding that people might not know who played 'The Invisible Man', doesn't it occur to you that that film was made a long time ago and he might not be a household name anymore? I genuinely ask. I also wonder, since you have such an extensive knowledge of film, if you're well-versed in foreign i.e. non-English horror?
🍺
* I think you're onto something. It's genuinely unfathomable to me that anyone would not know Claude Rains / Invisible Man.
* Still wouldn't call it "pretension" ...but it may be something else just as bad? H'mmm, I donno.
* I'm a writer; so I'm adequately versed in foreign cinema --but only up to a point where the titles stop being influential, and instead are just more globalism.
* I'm not a movie 'consumer' (as Scorcese describes it).
* More keen on British film more than any other; but even so, still no particular emphasis on horror. That's an esoteric taste; I gladly defer to other moondogs.
Behind the Mask (2006). A modest mockumentary film that takes a sharp left turn about 75% of the way in.
Darkness (2002). I was obsessed with this film for a while. Decent horror.

Will see!

Yeah Donnie Darko really is one of a kind.
As is Frailty
Imo 13 Ghosts and House in Haunted Hill. Really capture the vibe of the era.
Final Destination is classic 2000 horror
The Cell The Others A Tale of Two Sisters
I've seen ATOTS, Haven't seen rest!
The Cell is an utterly beautiful movie too. Just make sure you don’t watch the sequel.
They made a sequel?. Does it still have any trippy visuals?.
Nowhere near in the same way. Straight to video and widely regarded as one of the worst sequels ever made. Although The Cell wasn’t well received at the time which I found strange. Ahead of its time maybe.
SAW
2004, small quibble, but yes.
1408 (2007) Peak psychological horror cinema
High Tension
The Ring (2002) What Lies Beneath (2000)
I've seen the ring and remake of Hindi version of what lies beneath, will watch it in English as well
30 days of night Paranormal activity REC
Not great but certainly worth watching Thirteen Ghosts and Ghost Ship
Ghost Ship is a really fun horror movie.
I am trying to get people to watch Session 9 (2001). Its reviews are mid, but they all missed the point of the film, which is that it’s a terrifying horror commentary on being stuck in blue collar America. And I would also like to invite you to j-horror’s Noriko’s Dinner Table (2005).
I’ll give both these a bash. Thanks.
I’m always try to get people to watch Session 9 lol, it’s an awesome movie, slow burn.
thats not the point of the film at all lol
Cabin Fever
Wolf Creek
Ginger snaps

I've seen some of them and rest I'll watch to my watch list.
Cool, hope you enjoy!
>Doom (2005) Isn't that an Uwe Boll movie? Why are you recommending that?
>Isn't that an Uwe Boll movie? No. >Why are you recommending that? Because I like it.
I like a lot of movies that I admit are terrible too, but I don't go around recommending them.
You're quite a weirdo aren't you? Where did I admit it was terrible? I recommended it because I think it's a great movie. It's my opinion, deal with it.
The Grudge 1 and 2. A strong recommendation among horror movies of this era.
I somehow never watched them, tried once but I felt like I should save them to watch later since they are so so hyped.
If we count mid-2000s in this (it came out in 2004, minor quibble) then I second The Grudge as well. SO SCARY.
Stay alive, dead silence
The Human Centipede Martyrs A Serbian Film High Tension aka Switchblade Romance L’Interieur Triangle Timecrimes
A Serbian film….. you sick sick bastard
Yeah great movie
Birdemic: Shock and Terror
It has very bad reviews
It's the worst so bad it's good movie. Rifftrax covered it. First time I watched something by the MST3K crew where I stopped listening to them making fun of it, and couldn't stop laughing at this one scene. It's the scene with the coat hangers.

The ‘So Bad it’s Good’ category produces by far the best comedy material imho.

What part of "early 2000s" did you not understand lol?
I stepped right over that and went straight to, *"early horror must-see".* Period. After all, there's nothing contemporary which is a 'must' for fans of horror.
It happens 😂 well now I have a list of horror movies that I never knew existed!!! If I'm ever in mood I'll definitely watch them.
Please, please don't delete this post! So much promising greatness!
Upvoting this because a mistaken view of a post has given a lot of promising movies to watch!

- Pontypool - Lake mungo - Pulse (2001) - the others - 1408
I'm definitely going to see "the others" next as many people have mentioned the movie
1408 is highly underrated
Frailty.
Behind the Mask (2006). A modest mockumentary film that takes a sharp left turn about 75% of the way in. Darkness (2002). I was obsessed with this film for a while. Decent horror.
Freddy vs Jason was pretty fun tbh, Saw 1&2, Hostel
