    The 15 Best Horror Movies of the Last 25 Years

    1. Shaun of the Dead (2004)

    The top horror movie on our list, this British comedy directed by Edgar Wright documents the foibles of Shaun (Simon Pegg), a woebegone electronics shop salesman struggling to find direction and purpose in his life. Just when he commits to win back his ex-girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), a zombie apocalypse strikes the city. The impending threat of zombies gives Shaun the kick in the pants he needs: Along with his best friend Ed (Nick Frost), he takes to the streets to come to the rescue of Liz, his family and his precious record collection.

    2. Let the Right One In (2008)


    Swedish director Tomas Alfredson's romantic horror film chronicles the friendship between a boy and a vampire child in the suburbs of Stockholm during the early 1980s. The movie takes its inspiration from John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel of the same name. Kåre Hedebrant stars as Oskar, a 12-year old who is constantly bullied by his classmates, and Lina Leandersson plays Eli, who, appearing only at night, encourages him to seek revenge against his tormentors.

    The movie received widespread acclaim across the globe. The U.S. remake, Let Me In, stars Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloë Grace Moretz.

    3. Perfect Blue (1997)


    The only animated film our on our list, Perfect Blue is a Japanese psychological thriller directed by Satoshi Kon and based on Yoshikazu Takeuchi's novel, "Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis." The story follows Mima Kirigoe, a pop star who decides to leave her group CHAM in order to pursue a career as an actress. In short order, she becomes the object of obsession for an unrelenting fan and is haunted by ghosts from her past.

    The movie, which has remained influential since its release in 1997, was originally conceived as a live-action feature, but budget considerations, especially after the Kobe earthquake of 1985 destroyed the production studio, required the film be animated.

    4. Zombieland (2009)


    This raucous, smart comedy was for a time the top-grossing zombie film of all time, surpassed by World War Z in 2013. The film, which was the debut feature for director Ruben Fleischer, follows the adventures of winsome and witty college student Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) as he attempts to navigate through a zombie apocalypse. On his journey across America to find his parents in his Ohio, he's joined by a gun-totin' tough guy (Woody Harrelson) and a pair of con-artist sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin).

    5. The Belly of the Beast (2007)


    Jim Fitzpatrick stars as Adam Simeon, the leader of the Alpha Disciples, the 12 descendants of the original 12 apostles of Christ. Adam's mission? To battle Satan and defend the planet from an onslaught of evil, using 12 daggers that were designed to kill each of Satan's disciples. Joining Adam in the Alpha Disciples are his brother Aaron (John S. Flyyn), ex-cop Bill Hillman (David Gail), and detective Reece Mondo (John Castellanos). Corbin Timbrook directs.

    6. Saw (2004)


    Shot on a small budget and in 18 days, Saw debuted in 2004 to limited expectations. But the grisly torture film about two men who awake to discover themselves in a rundown bathroom quickly became a cult hit with viewers and ended up becoming one of the most profitable horror movies of all time. Its success spawned a sequel the following year and an eventual seven-part horror franchise, with Saw 3D (2010) as the most recent installment. An eighth movie is in the works.

    7. Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005)


    This 2005 South Korean movie tells the story of a woman's efforts to seek justice for a crime she did not commit. Lee Young-ae stars as Lee Geum-ja, who has been incarcerated for 13 years for the kidnap and murder of a 6-year-old boy. With the help of her fellow inmates and her reunited daughter, she seeks to exact vengeance on the man responsible for the boy's death.

    The film is the third installment of director Chan-wook Park's The Vengeance Trilogy, which includes Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and Oldboy (2003).

    8. Grindhouse (2007)


    This 2007 horror film, which recalls exploitation films of the '60s and '70s, is actually two features: one directed by Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror) and the other by Quentin Tarantino (Death Proof), joined together and bookended by fictional trailers for upcoming movies, advertisements, and announcements.

    The title comes from a common film industry term, "grindhouse," which refers a type of movie house, now mostly defunct, that specialized in "grinding out" double-bill programs of B movies. Rodriguez' offering follows a group of rebels caught in a zombie outbreak, while Tarantino's portion is pure slasher thriller, where a stuntman (Kurt Russell) stalks young women with his cars.

    9. 28 Days Later … (2002)


    Director Danny Boyle serves up a frightening post-apocalyptic vision of London in this 2002 survival tale. Cillian Murphy plays Jim, a bike courier who awakes in a hospital from a coma four weeks after a highly contagious virus is unleashed upon the city. Discovering London completely deserted, he ultimately finds other survivors, and with them, he strategizes to find sanctuary from the contagion.

    10. American Psycho (2000)


    Long before he played the iconic, caped crime-fighting vigilante in The Dark Knight, Christian Bale was inhabiting the privileged world of serial killer Patrick Bateman. Based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel of the same name, American Pyscho offers a satirically harsh critique of the excesses of '80s-era capitalism through the eyes of a young, brash, and ultimately psychopathic investment banker in Manhattan.

    11. The Others (2001)


    Directed by Alejandro Amenábar, The Others tells the story of Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman), a strict, devout mother who retires with her two photosensitive children to a manor in Jersey at the end of World War II. As she awaits the return of her husband from battle, she notices a series of unusual events in the residence, which coincide with the arrival of a mysterious trio of servants. Before long, the terrifying secrets of her household are revealed.

    The film was wildly popular with fans and critics, winning eight Goya Awards (Spain's national film awards), including Best Director and Best Film. In fact, it's the first English-language movie to win a Goya for Best Film without having a single word of Spanish spoken in it.

    12. Army of Darkness (1992)


    This 1992 dark fantasy comedy is the third installment in the Evil Dead series. In this episode, Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) is hurtled through a time warp to 1300 AD, where he battles an army of the dead to retrieve the Necronomicon, a book with magical powers.

    Along with the other two movies in the trilogy, Army of Darkness enjoys a sizable cult following, inspiring a whole franchise of comic books series and role-playing games. Television sequel "Ash vs Evil Dead" features Campbell returning in the lead role and premieres on Halloween 2015 on Starz.

    13. Interview With the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)


    Anne Rice herself penned the screenplay for Neil Jordan's 1994 adaptation of her popular novel set in New Orleans. In the lead vampire roles are Brad Pitt, who played moody protagonist Louis, and Tom Cruise in a memorable portrayal of the charismatic and enigmatic Lestat. But it's then 11-year-old Kirsten Dunst who is the breakout star, earning widespread recognition as 12-year-old enfant terrible Claudia, a young vampire who's doomed to remain a little girl for eternity.

    River Phoenix was initially cast for the role of Daniel Molloy, a part which eventually went to Christian Slater after Phoenix's untimely death four weeks before filming. As a tribute, producers inserted a dedication to the late actor in the closing credits.

    14. Dead Alive (1992)


    Long before he helmed the popular Lord of the Rings trilogy, New Zealand director Peter Jackson served up a zombie comedy that today enjoys a wide cult following. The story follows hapless Lionel Cosgrove (Timothy Balme), who lives with his overbearing and insufferable mother Vera (Elizabeth Moody). When momma Vera decides to meddle with her son's relationship with his girlfriend Paquita, she ends up bitten by a rare monkey, gradually dying and turning into a zombie.

    The movie is said to be one of the bloodiest of all time, measured in the amount of stage blood used during production. The final scene alone reportedly required 300 liters of fake blood.

    15. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)


    This Canadian-American comedy horror directed by Eli Craig showcases the bloody consequences of allowing appearances to cloud your judgment. Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) are two affable West Virginian hillbillies heading to their mountain cabin for a little vacation. At a gas station, the pair come face to face with a group of preppy coeds who, also on vacation and intimidated by Tucker and Dale's looks, assume the worst. Later, when one of the college kids hits her head and wakes up in the hillbillies' cabin, the other students jump to some serious conclusions — and blood-stained shenanigans ensue.
