Your Favourite Horror Film from 2001

[cyberspook]

I have to agree with Mr. Moderator, Session 9 creeped me out big time. Maybe it was because I had no previous knowledge of the movie and wasn't expecting anything. I thought the understated performances and subtle development of the film was masterful. Many other films that year were really very good, but I have to give my vote to the asbestos abatement boys...

aye session 9 has its moments...id question From Hell though personally, THAT bored me senseless.

Devil's Backbone in any case...was watching a lot of asian stuff round this time, and this stood out probably because of that.

It's nice to see another fan of Session 9 at last!

i've not seen Session 9, mainly due to Caruso being in it, can't take that man seriously...

Funnily enough, I'm not fond of Caruso either so had my reservations when I first watched it.

The Devil's Backbone, Wendigo, Sleepless and Dagon all stand out for me this year. It would have to be The Devil's Backbone though - a film of astonishing, mesmeric beauty.

The year's big turkey was surely The Hole.

I've tried to watch Session 9 twice now and never gotten very far into it. I keep meaning to give it another go!

Mulholland Dr. for me, a lovely little film about the descent into insanity and revenge. One of my favourite films ever.

Runners up would be The Devils Backbone or The Happiness of the Katakuri's

Mulholland Drive is fantastic, although I wouldn't personally consider it a horror film.

The Happiness of the Katakuri's is a mad little film that has to been seen to be believed! Not Miike's best, but definitely worth seeking out for those who haven't seen it.

I think of it on the same standing as Lost Highway and Eraserhead, dark, dark films full of dream logic and insanity.

Dagon was pretty good.
