20 2010s Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die
1. Get Out
Plot: A young African-American discovers a conspiracy beyond his worst nightmares when he visits his white girlfriend's family.
It's been a fine decade for horror films, but Get Out remains the crowning horror achievement of this decade. How couldn't it be?
The performances are stellar, the visuals are highly effective and the brilliantly layered screenplay is complete genius and makes Get Out's seamless mix of hilarious comedy, fast-paced, terrifying ideas and razor-sharp social commentary look effortless.
Get Out is also, despite its unconventional nature and lack of traditional scares, emblematic of what horror should be in that it uses horrific ideas to reflect the deepest fears within society. Get Out uses its terrifying story and nightmarish villains to offer a devastating, unforgettably terrifying meditation on racism in America that'll leave most viewers watching through their fingers.
Get Out is not just the finest horror film of the decade, it's one of the decade's finest films in general and not one that people will forget any time soon.
