10 Horror Movies From the 2000s That Deserve a Second Look (ihorror.com)

The 2000s were a strange decade to love horror. The remake machine ran nonstop, J-horror imports arrived by the crate, Saw and Hostel kicked off years of arguing about torture porn, and found footage crept in underneath all of it. It was also the last decade when discovery was physical. You walked down a shelf, picked something up because the box looked cool, and took your chances.

With that much product moving, good stuff got flattened. Some movies caught reviews they did not earn. Some got dumped by studios that had stopped caring. Some opened next to something bigger and vanished.

None of these are secret masterpieces. A few are genuinely great, several are a mess, and every one of them deserves to be judged on its own terms instead of against whatever trend it happened to land in. You will disagree with at least three. Good.

My favorites from that era were all horror-comedies. Leslie Vernon and Slither are good picks from this.

Have you seen Fido (2006)? Billy Connolly, Carrie-Anne Moss, Dylan Baker, Tim Blake Nelson, it's a mashup of the old Lassie TV series and Night of the Living Dead, where zombies are domesticated and turned into free labor. I don't think I've ever seen it brought up on horror forums so maybe it slipped through the cracks, idk.

I remember watching Fido and thinking this is a weird, Canadian film. Watched back to back when we rented it from the video store.

I wouldn't really say it's a horror film. Definitely a weird, early 2000 comedy film.
