Ranking What Was Really The Best Horror Movie Every Year 1990-2021

14. 2008: Let The Right One In

Not all horror movies have to be ugly and unforgiving; some of them can be oddly beautiful.

Case in point, Tomas Alfredson's romantic coming-of-age horror about a bullied pre-teen (Kåre Hedebrant) who befriends a girl (Linda Leandersson) with a deadly secret.

A gorgeously filmed and wonderfully unconventional vampire movie, Let the Right One In is shocking, violent and unsettling when it needs to be, but balances its disturbing tone with a genuinely affecting tale of love that ends with a haunting thud.
