The 21st century has seen its fair share of horrors: The COVID-19 pandemic, the 2008 financial crisis, the 2013 VMAs – the past two decades haven’t been pretty. Like an annoying little sibling, art has spent the 21st century doing what it always does around its big brother life: imitating. As the disturbing events have compounded over the years, plenty of disturbing films have emerged in response. A cursory glance at Netflix or the evening news will tell you: horror is having its day. Here are the ten most disturbing horror movies of the 21st century, to prove that as bad as real life gets, art is here to prove things could always get a little worse. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, after all.
The House The Jack Built
(IFC Films)Lars von Trier’s The House That Jack Built is a building that needs to be condemned and demolished. The plot revolves around a serial killer named Jack, who is recounting his murders to Virgil – the same shmuck who guided Dante through the Inferno in The Divine Comedy. As Jack relives the gory details, we take a trip down memory lane into his nightmare highlight reel. A failed architect in life, Jack begins to design a house made from the corpses of those he has killed. Strangers, romantic partners, children, the building materials come from a variety of unfortunate sources. Unlike classic cinema killers like Hannibal Lector, Jack isn’t a particularly charismatic or even interesting character. He’s a career loser who moonlights as a murderous lowlife, only successful at causing pain and suffering. It’s a disturbing downer of a movie featuring some particularly sadistic sequences – the portrait of a hollow life lived in pursuit of bored cruelty.
