House Of Wax [2005]
Not as pacey as the other slashers of the 2000s, House of Wax focuses on the creepy atmosphere and the bizarre nature of its main story.
00s Movies
Hollow Man [2000]
Still visually stunning after all these years, Hollow Man is both a commercial science fiction movie and a fascinating character study.
Troy [2004]
Still relevant and one of the best historic epics, Troy is a visually impressive, compelling, and thought-provoking masterpiece.
16 Blocks [2006]
A bit sloppy and forgettable but with a couple of cool gimmicks, 16 Blocks is a mildly entertaining action movie still worth checking out.
Black Hawk Down [2001]
Black Hawk Down is still the best modern movie I’ve ever seen, some twenty years after its initial release. A fucking masterpiece.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire [2001]
Charming and funny, Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a beautifully animated movie following an expedition to find the lost island of Atlantis.
The Core [2003]
Despite its bizarre premise, The Core is a fun disaster movie following a group of scientists drilling their way to the center of the Earth.
Van Helsing [2004]
A bit silly but still effective, Van Helsing is a fun and underrated creature feature honoring old-school monsters with style.
Red Eye [2005]
Under Wes Craven’s direction, Red Eye, a generic thriller set aboard an airplane, became a perfectly watchable movie with great performances.
The Hills Have Eyes 2 [2007]
Nasty and visceral, The Hills Have Eyes 2 is a stand-alone sequel worth watching only if you’re a fan of mutants vs. humans horrors.
Wanted [2008]
Unapologetically flashy, Wanted is a brainless but highly entertaining action movie featuring Angelina Jolie and bending bullets.
The Skeleton Key [2005]
Set in the Deep South where the supernatural still lives, The Skeleton Key is an atmospheric, simple, and effective occult horror movie.
