The 2010s were a good decade for horror, producing some of the genre's most innovative and boundary-pushing movies. The genre was revitalized with a resurgence in both quality and creativity. However, a handful of horror gems flew under the radar and didn't receive the appreciation they deserved.
The Girl With All the Gifts offers a fresh take on the zombie genre with its introduction of a new zombie type, caused by a fungal infection. The movie blends the zombies' horror with philosophical exploration of humanity, survival, and identity. The performance of Nanua as Melanie is very strong as she garners the audience's empathy yet keeps them on edge worrying about what she will do next.
Unfriended: Dark Web is a sequel to the 2014 Unfriended, the movie that popularized the screelife narrative device where the entire movie is told through a computer or a smartphone screen. Unfriended: Dark Web needs a significant amount of suspension of belief to be enjoyed, especially with its characters' frustrating illogical decisions. However, the movie creates a very immersive experience with its updated horror.
It Comes at Night was a victim of misleading marketing. The movie was marketed as a fast-paced survival monster film when it is a slow-paced psychological horror film instead. There's a possibility of monsters, and families' efforts to survive the deadly disease are looming in the background. However, the main source of horror is the psychological strains of survival in a post-apocalyptic world, especially when survivors don't trust each other.
The Loved Ones is a very violent and bold addition to the torture and the revenge subgenres, which makes the movie not very suitable for the faint of heart. The Loved Ones is a violent blend between Prom Night and Misery. The movie balances gruesome horror with a satirical edge to explore themes of revenge, obsession, and dysfunctional families. Furthermore, McLeavy's performance as Lola is a standout.
