I agree with the majority here. District 9 was a sci-fi with a very small hint of horror, though they are trying to use all the gore as "horror" in this effect; but it's not. We feel no pity for the humans that are being destroyed towards the end because they were built up to be awful.

My favorite 2009 horror movie was the orphan and trick r treat coming in 2nd. Drag Me to Hell was good even though I am not into silly horror movies. I thought Zombieland was good but overrated. And Zombieland was more of a comedy/action movie than a horror movie. It didn't have any suspense and very little gore for a zombie movie. Weak plot but good actors though. Paranormal Activity was ok but I was definitely not spooked like those audience viewers. And I definitely wouldn't call District 9 a horror movie. I did enjoy that movie though. I want to see The House of the Devil when it comes on dvd or blu-ray.

Orphan was OK, but not great. Drag me to Hell and Zombieland were the best horror flicks I saw last year.

Agree that District 9 has no right to be on a horror list--it's Sci-Fi for sure.

Pontypool was good but falls apart at the end. Some of the others I haven't seen yet. (thirst, house of the devil)
