10 Best Horror Films of 2009

A decent close to the decade. The 2000's can be considered a comeback of sorts from the 1990's, with part of this being due to the sheer quantity of horror films being produced post-millennium. This is especially true of the latter half of the decade. Modern horror is heavily criticized for its lack of originality and intelligence, one that has some merit especially when you look at mainstream trends. However, with the amount of options out there now, there are bound to be some good ones as there have been.

The White Ribbon, District 9, Sin Nombre, Coraline, Mother, Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1974, Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1980, Red Riding: In the Year of Our Lord 1983, Exam
