Best Horror Movies Of This Millennium

The "Horror Genre" is one of my favorite film genre's and if you are shrinking back then maybe you don't know what "horror" is. Horror plays on primal instinct with a deep psychological impact. In a true horror movie, there is no escape, you must survive. Gremlins, Arachnophobia, and Jurassic Park all fall under action horror, which is sometimes called "thriller." The only horror movie type that I really don't appreciate is what is called "Slasher flicks" and that's just were a weirdo goes around with a knife. Ugh. Spare me.
