10 Best Horror Movies Of The Decade

2. Get Out (2017)

Perhaps the most important horror movie of our generation as well as one of the most entertaining of the decade, Get Out is Jordan Peele's love letter to classic, mind-bending scary stories that aren't afraid to get a little weird. And of course, told through the lens of societal attitudes to race, which have never really felt as accurately and poignantly reflected upon as in this directorial debut.

Chris goes with his white girlfriend to meet her parents for a weekend at their extravagant home, and as a black man, faces a whole heap of problematic conversations that are as tiresome as they are painfully awkward. Slowly losing his endurance for keeping up relationships, strange occurrences begin to up the tension - with a dark secret lurking at the heart of the family home that make the title all the more apt.

Not only excellently put together and beautifully visualised, but hitting an almost untouched upon, insanely pertinent topic with needle-point precision, Get Out managed to do something never before seen and will last the ages because of it. It's not often things are history-defining in contemporary society, but here we are all the same.
