Horror Movies · 2010s Ranked
Best Horror Movies of the 2010s, Ranked by IQ Score
The decade horror cinema joined the prestige conversation. Ranked by IQ Score.
The 2010s in horror cinema is the decade A24, Blumhouse, and the prestige-horror branch transformed the genre's critical reception. Hereditary (2018), Get Out (2017), The Witch (2015), Midsommar (2019), all released within four years, all critically canonical.
Anchor picks: Hereditary at 164 is the catalog's most-canonical 2010s horror entry. Get Out reset the social-horror register. It Follows is the canonical 'arthouse-horror' breakthrough. The Witch established Robert Eggers's career. Midsommar is the catalog's most-formally-disciplined daylight-horror entry.
