These aren't just good horror films - they're the ones that shifted what cinema could do. Specifically from the 2010s - every pick here was chosen for after a breakup because the craft holds up decades later. Watch them in order or pick one at random. Either way, you're watching something genuinely landmark.
The horror on this list earns its place. The 2010s produced more quietly excellent films than the decade gets credit for. These are some of them. Moviepiq has more lists broken down by genre, occasion, and mood.
