21st Century Horror: USA (tapekebab's Top 10)
Disclaimer: This is just my personal Top 10, not necessarily the best films from this region. I also include horror and horror-related titles, so if you see any movies on the list that you don’t think are technically horror movies, let’s not argue about it.
If you have any recommendations for movies from the US, please let me know in the comments!
The US puts out dozens if not hundreds of horror films a year, and there are so many that it’s awfully tough to narrow them down. For this list, I only went with films that are fairly explicitly meant to take place in the US. Interestingly, my personal Top 10 are all set in a relatively small selection of American locales: California (“Nightcrawler” and “The Invitation” in Los Angeles, “Zodiac” in San Francisco), the Pacific Northwest (“The Ring” in and around Seattle and “Green Room” outside Portland), and Detroit (unsurprisingly a pretty great location for a horror movie - “It Follows” and “Don’t Breathe” are both set there). “The Conjuring” is very, very loosely based on real events that occurred in Rhode Island, and assuming that they take place where they were filmed, “Hereditary” is in Utah and “Get Out” is in Alabama.
