Top 5 Horror Films of the 21st Century!
We’re nearly 15 years into the 21st century, if some of you can believe that. That’s given us a swatch of horror films and it’s worth making sure that we recognize the great ones that have come out so far.
With that in mind, we’ve got Terminal Gods vocalist Robert Cowlin, who has decided that he’s up for the task of looking into this topic and weighing in with his thoughts.
Cowlin states:
Horror movies, so many to choose from. I spent four years studying and exhibiting them and still you merely scratch the surface. How can one reduce this great swelling tide into one coherent list? The stuff of nightmares, fantasy, story books – and here are my favourite ones loosely tied together under this thing we call genre. No, this is the sort of thing that requires a much larger canvas than I am permitted here. I am restricted to the concept of the list, but that’s it. How to fill it? Well, I once toyed with the idea of a thesis that had post-millennial horror films at its core. I won’t go into the interlinking theories and themes now, but I scoured my archive of popular 21st Century horror and here are five that I always recommend…

‘Late Night With the Devil’ – Exclusive Clip Begins the Supernatural Horror on Halloween 1977
The upcoming Late Night With the Devil is one of the most buzzed about horror movies of the year, currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and earning rave reviews from both Stephen King and Kevin Smith. King raves that the film is “absolutely brilliant,” adding that he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Smith comments, “I love it. It’s Rosemary’s Baby meets Network.”
David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as the host of a late-night talk show that descends into a nightmare in the Ghostwatch and WNUF Halloween Special-inspired film.
IFC Films & Shudder will release the hotly anticipated Late Night with the Devil theatrically on March 22 before it heads to Shudder exclusively on April 19, 2024.
Begin the horror with a brand new EXCLUSIVE clip below…
David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.
The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign).
The film premiered last year at SXSW. Meagan wrote in her review out of the fest, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.
“The ingenuity, the painstaking period recreation, a riveting performance by Dastmalchian, and a showstopper of a finale make for one Halloween event you won’t want to miss.”
Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (It, The Grudge, The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Pet Sematary, Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Derek Dauchy (“Al Kameen”) and Future Pictures’ Mat Govoni (“Lone Wolf”) and Adam White (“Lone Wolf”) and John Molloy are all producing.
Joel Anderson (Lake Mungo), Rami Yasin, and David Dastmalchian executive produce.
