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

13. 2009: Antichrist

The first and most controversial chapter of Lars von Trier's depression trilogy, Antichrist is one of the most disturbing and polarising horror movies ever made.

Following a couple (Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg) attempting to get over the death of their son whilst entering a cycle of mutilation, sex and hallucinations, Antichrist isn't for everyone, but even its most upsetting moments remains the work of a filmmaker completely committed to his vision.

Daring, utterly original and powerful, von Trier's experimental horror movie is one you might not like, but one that'll terrify and hold your attention all the same.
