[@JustDinsgirl]

I've seen all except Cursed. I really like Creep, too many people hate it but for me is a good movie.

[@nicolacook1699]

Great list , seen all but cursed . Love all the films on this list apart from Ghost ship ( love the opening though) . My hidden gems would be slasher films like Valentine with Denise Richards and David Borneanz from Buffy from the early 2000s / late nineties .

Just yesterday, I was really in a 2000s horror mood and re-watched the 2005 House of Wax remake and the 2009 My Bloody Valentine remake, so this video comes at a perfect time!

[@ergoth154]

House of Wax is underrated and overhated, it's honestly such campy fun and a great thrill ride.

you should watch Club Dread (2004)! i rediscovered it earlier and from what I remember it's cheesy goodness

The original story for Midnight Meat Train, by Clive Barker, is amazing.

[@justmejenny7986]

Love Clive Barker.

[@nikoteardrop4904]

Dread, also a Books of Blood adaptation from the 2000s, is also pretty damn good. We were supposed to get Pig Blood Blues, but that one went the way of so many announced Barker joints.

[@nikoteardrop4904]

Reckon anyone's got the balls to adapt The Damnation Game? ;-)

Session 9 is an awesome movie!! Definitely underrated. The ending was such a twist! So good.

[@robbelanger2244]

I went to Danvers right before it burnt down and that place was absolutely creepy as hell

[@kimberleymonroe1157]

I don't scare easy, but the ending of Session 9 genuinely scared me. It got in my head so bad. Those goddamn voices on the tapes

[@laurenearly7937]

This movie genuinely terrified me. One of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen, hands down. I had goosebumps at the end. That last line. Damn.

[@TheJohnGill]

I was obsessed with Splinter growing up. The monster is super underrated.

[@mjmomo541]

I got "Creep" on VHS for my 18th birthday in 2006 and it had me shocked to my absolute core! It is so gruesome and horrifying, I don´t think I could ever rewatch it!

Great list, Sarah! Here's a couple more : The Skeleton Key (2005), Behind the Mask (2007).

[@shortinsomniac76]

I saw The Skeleton Key as a kid becouse i got it confused with another movie and im still not able to forget it lol

[@ic5319]

It's funny you mention Ghost Ship as a hidden gem, because there was an even lesser known "haunted ship" movie in 2002 called "Below" about a submarine in WWII that experiences supernatural occurrences. It is, IMHO, the superior movie, and if you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a watch. Also, I LOVE your t-shirt 😀

[@garethallen4191]

Yes! Below is WAY better than Ghost Ship!

[@cineturon]

Ah yes, good one!

[@whiro8945]

[@masteronionnorth2341]

There are aspects of Ghost Ship in 1899 on Netflix. Along with various other film homages and themes.

[@laura6475]

I just rewatched Frozen (2010). It’s one of my favourite winter horror movies. ❄️

[@nikoteardrop4904]

Fun fact: Session 9 was the last film shot at Danvers State Hospital. So many haunted asylum movies use Danvers as *the* model for creepy mental hospitals. A lot of them use shots of Danvers for their exteriors even after it was demolished.

[@Hexentric8]

One of my faves from the 00's that literally nobody ever talks about is The Pool or Swimming Pool in some regions, it's a b-movie slasher starring James McAvoy and Isla Fisher (in her first ever role). I watched this movie sooo much as a kid and reccomend it to anybody that's in the mood for an obscure 00's slasher 😁 Also for anybody that liked Turistas I reccomend a 2009 thriller called The Perfect Getaway starring Timothy Olyphant and Milla Jovovich.

[@ShittyShittyGameGang]

Yeeessss, the perfect getaway is sp good, I'll have to check out the others u mentioned as well!

I’d love to see a video on people who are trapped and trying to escape! Here’s another video idea-You recently mentioned that horror movies don’t get recognized at the Academy Awards. I’d love to your opinions on movies that deserve Oscars. So you could give awards for Best Horror Film, Best Actor/Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Score/Music, etc… I know you’re busy with life as a new mom, but if you ever have time, I’d love for you to consider filming these. I’m a new mom too and share in your pp struggles. I watched your 1 month update. You’re doing a wonderful job. Would love to see more motherhood/baby videos from you as well 💗 I have 6 week old and it’s so nice to find someone who’s going through the same things as me. Hugs!

[@alyssseil]

I was 100% certain that Darkness Falls would be on this list and was shocked it wasn't 😮 Maybe you have another video that mentions it but I'd love to hear what you think about that one! Big nostalgia for me, it used to terrify me in like third grade

[@krystianwierzchowiecki6555]

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane from 2006 is the best looking, sounding (soundtrack) and edited slasher i have ever had the pleasure of watching. I like that people seem to miss this movie. Festival delights, publishing hell and the second premiere after many years, which went unnoticed. A wonderfully tragic story.

one of my weekend routines now is going to watch one of your videos and adding some recs to a list to come back to

[@theodoreshoebat9142]

My favorite on the list is Session 9. It was a slow burn that got really underneath your skin with the voice recordings. I watched Ghost Ship when it came out in theater and it disturbed me at that age. Looking at the film now it just has that cheesy 2000s feel. A hidden gem from the early 2000s, for me, is The Omen from 2006. I absolutely loved that film and remember seeing in the theater when it first came out.

[@robk.6591]

Not enough people talk about Lake Mungo. The acting is so believable and the vibes are creepy as heck 💯 Also, Wrong Turn 2 is hilarious. The funniest of the franchise, imo.

I've been recently going through the 2000s era of Horror movies. An era I previously considered the worst time for horror and It's been slowly winning me back. Cabin Fever, House of Wax, Joy Ride, Wrong Turn and Slither have all become movies I would highly recommend. I have a list on Letterboxd called "Blockbuster Video - Horror Section" with 120 films from the 2000s. I plan on going through all them eventually.

[@ashleyosborn5983]

I am such a fan of Book of Shadows. I wonder how I would have felt about it if I was one of the people who saw it at the time it came out expecting a very "Blair Witch 2" but if you put this movie on it's own, it's so nostalgic and fun!

[@billneedscpr]

Ashley Osborn, I *was* the exact person you describe. My disdain for Book of Shadows was LEGENDARY among my horror friends. So you can imagine their shock when, a few years ago, after reading about its troubled production history and the original intent for its interpretation, I re-watched it with that knowledge and completely changed my tune about it. I now think it’s actually a very good movie when the expectation of an in-universe BW sequel is taken out of the equation. And the Y2K nostalgia is definitely wonderful.

[@Tom-uk8ol]

Nooooooo!!!!👐💤

[@SpookyTxMama]

Mirrors (2008) is so good and I hardly hear it talked about

The Tartan Asia Extreme “brand” has some of my all time favorite movies. Bloody Reunion, Reincarnation, The Red Shoes, Koma, Infection… LOVED Session 9 too, so many movies come to mind for 2000’s favorites.

[@ShadowRayne16]

Ones that I have been thinking of rewatching lately are The Unborn (2009), Pulse (2006), and The Messengers (2007), and Legion (2010).

[@jessehohm5835]

So glad you mentioned “Midnight Meat Train”!! Definitely an underrated gem!

[@Kody-hf6eh]

Great video. My favorite horror films from the 2000s that I think no one talks about are Shredder, House of Wax,Jeepers Creepers and The Hitcher remake.

[@barnabykane4515]

It's funny you mentioned Triangle at 13:15 as the director for that movie also directed Creep (2004)!

[@IsSarahPi]

Really loved Splinter, creature features/isolated locations are some of my favourite sub genres of horror.

[@vonVile]

Some great movies you forgot: - "Feast" (2006): This movie was made from the "Project Green Light" reality TV series contest with a budget of $1M. It's a horror comedy on the level of "Evil Dead 2". This did spawn a trilogy of films, but the production quality drops substantially. Currently on Tubi. - "The Skeleton Key" (2005): Great psychological horror movie involving voodoo.

[@sethkamp7164]

These 2000's movies are hidden gems in my opinion 1. The skeleton key(2005) 2. Venom(2005) its from the director of I know what you did last Summer, and Kevin Williamson is a producer 3. Tamara(2005) its campy, but fun

[@SommerNicole22]

Oh my gosh yes!!

[@tabithamayer2442]

I love tamara and the skeleton key! I had a friend that had so many lesser known horror movies and Tamara was one we watched quite a bit

[@adamgardner2244]

The skeleton key is fantastic

[@robynmiller7996]

Not sure if it counts as a hidden gem or not, but I really enjoyed Ginger Snaps (2000). It's a werewolf movie exploring girlhood and puberty.

[@capnlinnius]

Fragile/Frágiles from 2005 with Calista Flockhart is one of my favorite hidden gems from the 2000s. It's hard to say anything about it without giving it away, but it's about a night nurse at a children's hospital that's closing down, and the kids are being moved to a new place. But as the children are being moved, something or someone is inflicting bad bone breaks on them to keep the children there. It's really creepy and the atmosphere is spot on. If you liked The Orphanage then definitely check this out!

[@AVspectre]

Hmmm interesting!

[@robj577]

I had a crush on her too lol, I'm gonna check it out

[@jessiesmyth1949]

Boogeyman was one of my favorites as a teenager with the ring, amityville, blair witch, dead silence, the descent etc.. and I agree with you, no one is talking about it but it's so good, for me as much as the others I mentioned. You can find boogeyman 2 and 3 on prime video but not the first one. Well, it is on prime in some country only.

[@zharko]

omg LOVE the new editing style for the titles

[@luthebong]

„cursed“ is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies of all time, I watched it so many times, I just love Christina Ricci in this and I like this whole sibling thing and the suspense when you don’t know who the bad guy is, I think it could’ve been executed better but I’m still so happy with the result.

[@frightfiendspodcast8506]

I'm one of the few that absolutely LOVES 2000s horror. One of my first episodes that I recorded was Cursed. I knew very few would be interested in it , but it was so game changing for me when I first saw it. I love this list and love your affection for 2000s horror !
