17 best horror movies of the 2010s that are definitely worth a rewatch

As a seasoned horror enthusiast who’s spent countless nights huddled under blankets, peeking through fingers at the screen during my favorite films, I must say that the 2010s have been an exceptional decade for horror cinema. Each of these films offers a unique blend of suspense, terror, and psychological thrills that keep me coming back for more.


As a gaming enthusiast diving into the realm of horror films, let me tell you this: my collection has got quite a mix, from folk and supernatural terrors to psychological and post-apocalyptic nightmares. You might have already watched some of these spine-tingling masterpieces, but I guarantee that each one is worth revisiting again and again.

Black Swan (2010)

In a reinterpretation, let me say: Black Swan features Natalie Portman portraying Nina Sayers, a dedicated and ambitious ballerina striving for the lead role in Tchaikovsky’s iconic ballet, Swan Lake. As she delves deeper into her role, she begins to lose touch with reality, spiraling downwards under mounting pressure. Her rivalry with another dancer escalates, eventually leading Nina to succumb to madness.

I Saw the Devil (2010)

As a relentless gamer, I find myself immersed in the chilling thrill ride that is “I Saw the Devil.” This tale revolves around my quest to hunt down the ruthless serial killer who viciously took the life of my beloved fiancée. Yet, instead of ending his life swiftly upon finding him, I opt for a sickening game of cat and mouse. In this game, I ensnare him, inflict pain, release him, only to capture and torture him once more in an endless cycle of retribution.

Prometheus (2012)

As a devoted fan, I found myself immersed in the fifth chapter of the Alien saga – a chilling sci-fi horror journey. This tale follows a daring space crew aboard the Prometheus, venturing to a far-off moon in pursuit of Engineer beings, alleged creators of humankind. However, upon our arrival, we were swiftly thrown into a terrifying struggle for survival as we confronted fearsome, monstrous creatures.

The Conjuring (2013)

The Conjuring revolves around the Warrens, a duo known for investigating paranormal activities, who are summoned to assist a family besieged by an evil entity lurking in their isolated Rhode Island farmhouse. The ensemble includes Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor, and additional stars.

You’re Next (2013)

To mark their wedding anniversary and reconnect with their long-lost children, Aubrey and Paul Davison plan to invite them along with their spouses to their country house for a weekend gathering. However, things take an unexpected turn when the estate is suddenly under siege by a band of masked attackers armed with crossbows. Now, it’s up to the Davisons to stick together and make it through this ordeal alive.

Creep (2014)

A video producer encounters a puzzling situation when they respond to a web post requesting footage of a single day in the life of an enigmatic character named Josef, who claims to be terminally ill. As Josef’s actions become more bizarre and unpredictable, the videographer grows suspicious that Josef might harbor harmful intentions.

The Witch (2015)

1630s New England serves as the backdrop for the tale The Witch. The story centers around a Puritan family who move to a secluded farm in the woods, only to experience tension and suspicion among themselves when their youngest child mysteriously disappears and strange occurrences begin to take place.

The Wailing (2016)

In a secluded Korean village, an unexpected string of killings and strange ailments strikes, placing the safety of police officer Jong-goo’s daughter at risk. It falls upon him to unravel the enigma surrounding these events before tragedy befalls his family as well. The chilling story is brought to life by Kwak Do-won, Hwang Jung-min, Chun Woo-hee, and Jun Kunimura in this spine-tingling horror movie.
