Honestly - Loved the concept. Very Rosemary's Baby meets Ray Bradbury's The Small Assassin.
HOWEVER
I honestly think that it could have pushed the envelope more. I feel as though it was trying to be really "shocking," but didn't quite make it there. It could be that I'm desensitized, but I REALLY think that it could have pushed the envelope even more to make it a delightfully icky film.
...
Other than that, I would bump District 9 off the list entirely (it was really only 1/3 a good movie) and bump up Trick 'r Treat. Also, I really have a hard time believing that The Orphan was any good... Or, well THAT good.
Has anyone seen it?
With the rave reviews that movies like Mum and Dad, Martyrs, and Antichrist have gotten, I have to roll my eyes at that list a bit.
Then again, those aforementioned movies might actually have been released prior to 2009 in their respective homelands, but only made it to the US this past year. I'm too lazy to go figure it out for myself.
Also - I think there should definitely be a shout out to Tokyo Gore Police.
But, ultimately, NE is right: It's Fearnet. It'll only go after the popular horror movies and only the MOST Popular of the cult ones.

I don't see their list as that bad - I'd definally have had Trick 'r Treat up there - District 9 really isn't a horror film...
I did like Grace - it was wasn't amazing (LOL) but it was pretty solid. Weirdly I did find it quite icky too...
I absolutely loved Orphan - granted it I enjoyed it on the big screen with a bag of cans but I came out totally loving it..Its totally trashy AND I didn't get the twist either LOL..
I liked Antichrist but I can see ppl not liking it and it is hard to classify as Horror film too...
I agree that if Mum and Dad + Martyrs were eligible they should be up there - Mum and Dad is great. Its funny to see that disfunctional family done in a suburban UK setting..
I'd put the Last House remake over Paranormal Activity and Grace.
