Top 10 Horror Movies of 2010 according to me :)

10. The Last Exorcism

Think of it as new version of the 1973 The Exorcist classic, it doesn't come close to beating it but has some good attempts, although i didn't completely enjoy the movie i put it on the top 10 list as it did have some good ol' scary scenes.

check out my full review on the movie here: (http://pixieshorrorgalore.blogspot.com/2010/12/last-exorcism.html)

9. Piranha 3D

I have to be honest i didn't really have high expectations for the movie and actually put off watching it for a while, I mean come on its about fish massacring mostly half naked people at a spring break party *eyebrow raised*. But i don't know if it was watching it in 3D or not this movie didn't suck as much as i thought it would.

8. I spit on your grave

This was probably one of the most brutal movies i've watched and fella's i think this will definitely leave you cringing if not passed out on the floor. This movie is different in the fact that you will actually be cheering and rooting for the killer as she is trying to avenge the men that gang raped her.So guys i suggest you treat the ladies good cause they might just get some ideas from this movie :P

7. Mirrors 2

If you have watched the first Mirrors film then you will definitely enjoy the sequel. I held on tight to my pillow like a little baby throughout this movie and for about 2 weeks after watching it avoided looking in mirrors for long periods of time.

6. Let me in

This was probably one of the best 'disguised' vampire movies i have watched and i say disguised because you you don't even know that the little girl is a vampire, i mean technically the movie doesn't even flat out say that and thus you the viewer are left to your own conclusions. This movie had such a unique aspect to the over-used vampire concept.

5. Paranormal Activity 2

The scariest parts of this movie begin about 45minutes towards the end of the movie. It gave me chills and the scene in the kitchen when all of a sudden all the cupboards open almost made me fall out of my bed. I do feel though that Paranormal Activty 1 was better.

4. Daybreakers

Another movie that took a different and unique approach to the Vampire genre. I loved the movie but think the ending could have been much better and not as corny but Ethan Hawke is really sexy in this movie so I'm going to let this one slide *wink wink*.

3. Frozen

Lets just say this movie pretty much put off all my desires to go skiing someday. It's a great film that gives you chills throughout.

2. [REC]2

Aaah can't nobody do horror movies like the French, this a genre they have perfected and this can be seen in both Rec movies. It's such a good movie I had a hard time deciding on if it should be number 1, this is a definite MUST-SEE movie. Plus i have heard through the grapevines that there's plans for a Rec 3& possible 4, I can't wait!!!

And now the Top movie of 2010 according to me is *drum roll please*......

1. Insidious

This movie was freaking AWESOME, scary and had jumpy bits throughout the movie. I shamefully admit after watching this movie i slept with the light on...To read my full review of the movie please click on the link below:

The Last Exorcism

Hello my horror movie loving lil monsters! today the movie of choice is The Last Exorcism directed by Daniel Stamm.The movie is basically about a documentary crew that follows a fake exorcist named Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) to a remote family farm, where he’s been hired to exorcise the demon possessed teenage daughter (Ashley Bell) of a devout Christian (Louis Herthum). Cotton's reason for coming to the farm and agreeing to the exorcism is to expose exorcism as a scam hence the documentary crew tagging along, but once he arrives at the farm, he starts to doubt whether or not he’s witnessing a real case of demonic possession.

This movie took a rather different approach to other Exorcist movies in that the horror and scare factor other Exorcist movie are known and loved for kind of took a back step. Now i'm not saying the movie is bad its just that its not what i expected and hoped it would be like, i guess i thought that this movie would be equally if not better than The Exorcism of Emily Rose  which i loved. For a movie that was about 88 minutes long, i feel they wasted too much time building up to the actual exorcism and in the end i felt that the movie was mainly about the exorcist Cotton Marcus but maybe that was the approach they wanted to take, its just that coming into the movie i wanted to see and know more about the actual girl who was being exorcised.

I do feel though that Patrick Fabian did a GREAT job portraying the reverend Cotton Marcus and i loved his character who is basically this person who has been preaching since he was 5 years old, now has a change of heart and basically is starting to doubt his relationship with God and the church with concern to exorcisms.

 I actually feel the only really scaryish part of this movie is they way the girl snaps her neck and body when she is possessed. I really did wish they would have done more scary possessed scenes because i think it would have made the movie that much better and having watched all the Exorcist movies you can't shoot me for expecting that and being disappointed when  the movie doesn't deliver.


The ending of this movie was particularly mind-boggling and i in fact found it funny, which i don't think the director was going for. To me the ending seemed like production ran out of money but they needed to finish the film so they shot the quickest,cheapest and last minute thought out ending. It also felt like the director and producers morphed movies like (The Exorcist, Rosemary's baby, Blair Witch Project, The Exorcism of Emily Rose etc..) all into the last 5 minutes of the movie as the ending, which made it seem like the directors didn't even try.


In the end this movie was not too bad as it did take a different approach to this horror movie classic but horror wise i feel the best modern version of the 1973 The Exorcist movie is The Exorcism of Emily Rose  but other people might feel differently but at the end of the day the 1973 movie still and i feel will always kick ass!!!

Rating:7/10
