10 Horror Flops From the 2010s That Deserve a Second Watch
It's always great to discover some gems in the world of horror films. And the 2010s were packed with amazing, yet overlooked, horror Movies. These are some movies you should totally check out!
So Why Did They Bomb at the Box Office?
It’s really kind of a shame. Horror films are a great chance for talented folks to make something special, but sometimes, the timing is off.
- Those cult horror movies? Maybe the marketing was bad or even the critics didn’t quite get them, but there are some incredible movies that didn’t find the right crowd, which really is a bummer!
- These were made when slashers were super popular, or there were a bunch of psychological horror movies hitting theatres all at once, making those movies just get overlooked! It was like they were all competing with each other for the best scares!
- But you have to realize: that's why horror rewatches are super fun, and sometimes they end up being so much better after a little time goes by!
Why Re-watch Horror Flops?
You might be surprised: those Horror Movies that flopped can actually be some of the most satisfying to watch now! They're actually super good. We’re in a whole new decade now! Horror Movies are doing something so different than before! We’re looking for the real psychological thrills - or the more dark and twisted things. These 2010s horror flicks have everything.
Maybe some were just a bit out there, like “Annihilation” and some were pretty controversial - and maybe others just didn’t make sense to people then but now - with the way the horror landscape has changed! We really love the stories.
So Which Movies Should We Check Out?
- “Annihilation”? - You’ll totally see a lot of really surreal, super strange stuff going on, It’s not the typical alien horror. And with the star-power of Natalie Portman, it's a must-see!
- Or how about “Knock Knock”? That one’s more in your face. It has this kind of "tech horror" vibe that will keep you wondering what's gonna happen - and if it’s a good or a bad thing!
- "The Lords of Salem" is a bit of a mind trip, full of scary things from a time gone by.
- "Doctor Sleep" might just give you all those chilling feelings you had after “The Shining”, so don't skip this!
- “Under the Skin” with Scarlett Johansson is one of those awesome science-fiction horror flicks with some crazy thought-provoking themes!
- If you love horror movies on Netflix, that one is actually super easy to watch!
- ”The Blackcoat’s Daughter" with a story about students at a boarding school, is actually pretty terrifying! If you like creepy movies with dark vibes then this one is worth a watch - you’ll see it's got some great ideas in it.
The 2010s really made those Movies really fresh and new. Check them out, because they are totally worth watching!
