[@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.

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.

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

[@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 😀

[@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!

"The Ruins" (2008) is really creepy and disturbing.

[@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.

And Amber heard is the lead which kinda ruined the film in the long run

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.

[@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.

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.

Yes! I loved Boogeyman! I probably saw it for the first time when I was tween or younger and I really enjoyed it. I haven’t seen anyone talk about it either, I’m so glad you included it in your video. I also enjoyed Boogeyman 2 and I think it’s worth checking out if you’ve never seen it.

[@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!

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.

[@laura6475]

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

[@motownman383]

Session 9 has one of the best one liners I've ever heard and I had to pause it because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe

[@CherBear113-iq3sk]

I am so glad you included Book of Shadows. It was something i always left on when i came across it. It was just my favorite background nouse. Now its so nostalgic. Its definitely cheesy and not for everyone. But if the early 2000s was a good time in your life, throw this baby on and be transported. ❤

[@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.

[@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 !

[@nicholemalloy4694]

I went straight to Tubi and watched the book of shadows after watching this and loved it. I was having a bad day and a good movie helped a lot!

The hole from 2001, that's my favorite hidden gem.

I've only seen 3 from this list. thank you! gonna hunt those other titles now. :D

[@petrius5630]

As a brazilian, is so funny watching Turistas now. Cause I remember my older siblings finding this movie at a video rental store, on late 00's, and we would joke about taking place in Brazil and laugh the whole movie. I don't think is wrong to enjoy the film, since is been a while now, but it's just weird how US folks likes to shove Brazil on stuff, everytime they wanna sound "exotic" lmao. I wouldn't like to see this being made nowadays

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.

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.

Dude, right off the bat you satisfied a movie brainfart I've had for awhile. I watched the sy-fy channel a lot as a kid in the 2000s and there are so many horror movies I remember pieces of but not enough to figure out what they are and Splinter was one of them 🙏 Thanks. If you havent covered it, I was scrolling on HBO max a few days ago and found an old horror movie I'd watched as kid called The Haunting starring Lili Taylor and (while not very scary) was a really enjoyable watch. It also had Owen Wilson in it which was cool to see. I think he had a great vibe, if he'd done more of them he might've been the early 00's version of Justin Long.

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.
