The Best Recent Horror Movies For Grown-ups
by John Farr
I suppose it sounds snooty, but I’m really tired of those teen horror movie entries that get trotted out every Halloween.
I mean, we have children who are worried about getting employment and don’t even go trick-or-treating anymore. Who could believe that soon-to-be codgers like us would want to watch I Know What You Did Last Summer, Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge or Scream 3?
I crave build-up, atmosphere, and perhaps even a dose of intelligence and originality with my scares. I also want to see something relatively new, having screened the Universal Horror classics endlessly over the decades. (True, I never tire of them, but still…)
So- where to look? Why, overseas, of course!
Sorry, Hollywood, but the best horror movies for adults made since the millennium are coming from foreign shores. Here’s a list of my own favorites, a few of which may not even be on your radar.
