Ari Aster, Guillermo Del Toro, Claire Denis, Yorgos Lanthimos, and M. Night Shyamalan are only a few of the familiar names in this collection of the best horror movies of the 2010s. Below, you will find all of the reviews of horror films this decade that Roger Ebert or his staff gave 3.5-4 stars. It’s a rare, small collection, but that only speaks to the high quality of the films allowed into this VIP section of their respective genre. From a 2010 remake that impressed Roger (“Let Me In”) to the Aster one-two punch of “Hereditary” and “Midsommar,” two films that our staff gave four stars, there is a diverse array of voices within those two extremes that includes everything from independent cinema to foreign films to major blockbusters. Doing horror well is very difficult, but the films on the list below are the kind that will be shocking and jolting viewers all the way through the next decade and beyond, truly representing the best horror movies of the 2010s.
