Your Favourite Horror Film from 2001

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

2001 was definitely an improvement on 2000 in terms of great horror, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?

Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 2001 is...

Session 9 - Brad Anderson

Possibly my favourite horror film of the 2000s, Session 9 is a fraught psychological horror with some fantastic performances. I could happily watch this film over and over again.

I know I'm in a minority of one but "Session 9" bored the arse off me.

Not at all - I know many people couldn't stand it.

I've a feeling that I could be in the minority for the ones who like it!

Not at all, it's one of the rare films that was recommended to me by several people with no love of the horror genre. When I told them I didn't like it they looked at me like I was mad.

I am with you Mr. Slowly!!! Didn't like that fillum AT ALL...especially after how HYPED it was!!

For me, this year was all about The Devil's Backbone, with the Hole and Sleepless slipping in very close behind.

I really enjoyed the vampire film The Forsaken and She Creature.

However Dagon is in my eyes the best horror of 2001.

Everything about it is good, from the acting and production values to the gory sfx. Easily Stuart Gordon's best feature.

Looks like I'm in the minority with liking Session 9 after all!

[Argentofan]

Gonna have to say Sleepless.

Though I don't like the film myself, I'm really surprised that you are it's only champion in the whole of Cult Labs.
