Peiple always bemoan how horror movies are all cheap trash nowadays. I’m fairly new to the genre but that doesn’t seem fair. What are some of your fav modern horror films (last 10 years or so)?

it follows: a young woman is stalked by an entity that is always steadily walking straight towards her
the babadook: a woman grieving the death of her husband must raise her son while their home appears to become haunted
annihilation: four women journey into a region of the US that has been engulfed by strange light
get out: a black man meets his white girlfriend’s family and not all is as it seems
