Top 6 Horror Films of Early 2000s: 2001-2005

The beginning of the aptly named “Naughty Aughties” (c. 2000-2010/12) was a time in the horror/thriller genre to set precedents and “change the game.”  While no one can deny the impact of classics like Mansquito and Frankenfish, there were several game changing films that surfaced during the first half of last decade.  These films not only honored their genre through the complex waves of terror they summoned in audiences, but reached heights that would be emulated countless times over the following years.
