- 80 Best 2000S Horror Movies
- Misery (1990) Part of what makes Misery so affecting is the simplicity of its premise. What if a popular writer was at the mercy of an obsessive fan? Much of the unexpected twists and turns of the film come from the now-revered Kathy Bates, who was a relatively unknown actress at the time, though she's a force to be reckoned with for James Caan, who plays a famed romance writer who is left helpless and bedridden after a nasty car crash.
- It (1990) Speaking of Stephen King adaptations, his creepy clown novel It was turned into not one, but two big-budget movies (2017, 2019) with a prequel TV show in the works.
- Night of the Living Dead (1990) Hollywood loves to remake movies, especially horror films. Sometimes, this is for the better (do you actually know any horror fans that would rather watch 1951's The Thing From Another Planet over the transcendent 1982 John Carpenter classic?)
- The Exorcist III (1990) Before you call up an old priest and a young priest on us, just listen: Exorcist III is far better than you think it is. This moody psychological horror film is more than just an apology for the dreck that was the second Exorcist movie.
Top 100 1990s Horror Movies/TV. 100 notable horror films and franchises that were released or began in the 90s (1990-1999). Sequels are included in my own description of the films, which can only be viewed in list mode.
- The Silence of the Lambs (1991) The '90s is the only decade thus far to give an Academy Award for best picture to a horror movie. That movie is, of course, Jonathan Demme's "The Silence of the Lambs."
- Scream (1996) There is perhaps no more defining work of '90s horror than Wes Craven's meta-slasher "Scream." From its killer opening scene, which featured Drew Barrymore and the killer's instantly recognizable Ghostface mask, "Scream" reinvigorated horror with its sharp satirization of the genre's clichés.
- Misery (1990) "I'm your number one fan." One of the best Stephen King adaptations to date, "Misery" perfectly highlights the perils of fan culture with its story about an obsessive fan, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who holds her favorite author, Paul Sheldon (James Caan), hostage, forcing him to burn his latest manuscript and write a new novel about her favorite character, Misery Chastain.
- Cure (1997) While '90s classics like "Audition"(1999) and "Ring" (1998) are well-known films in J-Horror, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Cure" remains an underseen but influential psychological horror masterpiece.

As with many movies that get famously knocked for being “terrible,” Anaconda isn’t as bad as the prevailing commentary about it would indicate. Still, one has to wonder how Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Danny Trejo, and Owen Wilson all ended up in this creature feature about a killer snake. Of course Anacondais not a traditiona...
It’s the year 2037. The world has been devastated by a nuclear apocalypse, but most of the surviving humans on the planet don’t realize it because they are hooked up to AI machines that give them the impression that they live in a utopia. Marta Martin stars as Judy, a woman who seeks to free herself from the virtual-reality shackles, only to be exi...
Armed with enough weapons to take on an army, a group of sea bandits board a luxury sea liner in the South China Sea, only to realize the ship has already been invaded by a group of gigantic, carnivorous creatures who do not appreciate the sudden competition. The action-packed horror of Deep Rising owes a lot to monster movies like Aliens (1986), g...
In this effects-heavy supernatural horror movie executive produced by Wes Craven, a demonic Djinn is released from an ancient jewel while it’s being appraised by an auction house. Appraiser Alexandra Amberson (Tammy Lauren) is mystically connected to the Djinn and sees visions of every twisted wish the Djinn grants. It’s now a race against time as ...
Owing a lot to The Bad Seed (1956) by way of the late-80s/early90s trend of films featuring adults learning lessons from little kids, Mikey is about a young boy who appears sweet on the outside, but he has a habit of murdering people when he doesn’t get what he wants. Mikey is a good psychological horror movie worth a watch as part of a mini-wave o...
Kolobos can best be described as MTV’s The Real World but with lots of violent death. Five young adults answer a newspaper ad for participants in an experimental film where they will share a house together for three months while all of their actions are recorded. Personalities begin to clash once everyone is inside the house, but personal issues qu...
Set in the then-near-future of 2003, Death Machine is about a morally bereft high-tech weapons designer, Jack Dante (Brad Dourif), and the person trying to stop him, Hayden Cale (Ely Pouget). As Cale closes in, Dante unleashes a huge robotdinosaur to kill everyone that opposes him. Many bullets are fired and much blood is spilled in this gloriously...
In what is famed Italian horrordirector Dario Argento’s first full-length American production, a young man encounters a teen girl (Dario’s daughter, Asia Argento) who appears to be attempting suicide after escaping from a psychiatric hospital. The girl is returned to the hospital, but the hospital soon becomes the connecting point of a string of vi...
Before he achieved fame with South Park, Colorado native Trey Parker wrote, directed, and starred in this horror-comedy about the notorious Alferd Packer, who cannibalized others during a failed expedition in Colorado. Cannibal! The Musical was produced by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Entertainment, and it’s every bit as ridiculous as you might expect. I...
Sleepwalkers is a bonkers mash-up of vampire and werewolf movies from the mind of Stephen King. Mary and Charles are a mother and son who move to a small Indiana town after getting into some trouble. You see, Mary and Charles are sleepwalkers (shapeshifting werecats who feed off the mystical life force of virgin women), and they tend to leave suspi...
