Hasitha Fernando with a selection of horrors from the past decade that you may have missed…
Horror films are a dime-a-dozen, but really good ones? Now that’s a rare commodity. As always some of these good horror films have a tendency of flying under the radar of audiences due to them being indie-films with limited engagements or simply because they were swept under the gigantic tsunami of blockbuster madness, eventually becoming forgotten. Regardless, with Halloween just around the corner here – in no particular order – are eighteen such horror films which debuted during the past decade which are absolutely worth your time.

The Night is available on digital platforms from 2Â April.
In The Night, a young couple check into a haunted hotel and discover theyâve brought more ghosts with them than they find on the premises. Itâs a familiar set-up, though director and co-writer Kourosh Ahari doesnât fall into the trap of rationalising every phantasm away as a manifestation of unresolved issues. Among Ahariâs earlier work is a short based on Charlotte Perkins Gilmanâs classic psychological/feminist ghost story The Yellow Wallpaper (1892); here, he draws on a variety of film texts â including such spooky hotel dramas as The Shining (1980), Barton Fink (1991), 1408 (2007) and The Innkeepers (2011) â to ground his own original take.

DESERVEDLY nominated for six Academy Awards, you can’t help but be swept away by this exquisitely tender and heartfelt story of a Korean-US family in pursuit of the American Dream in 1980s Arkansas.
Though totally fictional, writer-director Lee Isaac Chung was inspired by his own family and provides a fresh new take on the immigrant tale. It is a touching love letter to his own parents and their tenacity to forge a new life in the US and to provide their children with a more promising future.
The film, the produced by Brad Pitt and named after a peppery Korean herb, follows the pressures that a Korean family of four face as they move from California to a small farm in rural Arkansas and how their lives are upended with the arrival of the maternal grandmother (played superbly by Yuh-Jung Youn).
