2000s Horror

The first decade of the early 2000s saw a chilling resurgence of horror cinema, with a wave of low-budget films proving that atmosphere, imagination, and thematic intelligence could produce profound dread with the most minimal of resources. Featuring unsettling new takes on the classic haunted-house movie ( What Lies Beneath , The Others ), innovative found-footage nightmares ( [•REC] , Lake Mungo ), visceral shockers ( Trouble Every Day , Toolbox Murders ), intense psychological mind-benders ( May , Triangle ), and more, this survey of DVD-era cult favorites finds both veteran masters and provocative new voices pushing the genre toward edgier, more disturbing extremes.
