Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: 2011’s Best Horror Films

When Matt and I began discussing 2011, and doing a best of list, we actually had a few moments of impasse. I tend to take the blame for that because I admit, I like some weird-ass shit. I often peel layers away and try to find things that some wouldn't notice. In most cases, though, I end up finding things that are't even there. At which point, I blame the drugs and crawl back into my pillow fort to cry myself to sleep while listening to Enya. In those instances, Matt just takes the reigns and acts as the single, sane voice of both of us, which I am forever indebted to him for. In this case, I took the odd numbers, and Matt took the even numbers, and joining forces, we created the ULTIMATE Top Ten Horror Films for 2011. Now if you are wondering why we are not doing a best of 2012 list, just be aware, him and I both already have plans to do so singularly, so be on the lookout for both.

2) I Saw The Devil

Recommended Videos

What do you know, foreign horror strikes again! Hailing from South Korea, I Saw The Devil is a high-octane revenge thriller that absolutely flies through a two hour and twenty minute run time. Pitting Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe (Lee Byung-hun) against Oldboy (Choi Min-sik), I Saw The Devil is a no holds barred assault on all senses, barraging you with mentally stimulating moral conundrums along with bone-crunching violence too realistic to believe. I could barely hold my breath while the two characters fought through a multitude of increasingly horrific scenarios, wearing me down, but still establishing luminous quality too bright to ignore. It’s an absolutely hard watch for some based on the graphic imagery along, but could you imagine if director Kim Jee-Woon wasn’t forced by censors to cut down his film to receive a theatrical rating?!

1) Attack The Block

When this film began I believed I was not going to like it. You see, I worked counseling inner city kids for a long time, and when I see that gangster attitude on film, I tend to not want to willingly spend my time with kids like that again. So how did this movie end up being number one? Easy. That is just what they wanted. You see, the kids at the start of the film are in no ways the same kids at the end of the film. There is a moral swing that happens in the characters, and to be a witness to that as it happens very naturally (so much so we almost don’t notice it) across the course of the film is a real joy.

Attack The Block could best be described as Shaun Of The Dead mixed with the movie Kids, then mashed up with Pitch Black. It is funny, and quick-witted, and FAR more well-written than you think it is in the first five minutes. You get to see these punk boys evolve into men in this movie, and they get to do it while fighting furry aliens. No horror film in 2011 could touch the unfiltered entertainment found in Joe Cornish’s directorial debut, and that’s a fact.
