Throughout the film, Incantations are dispersed, and Ronan encourages viewers to chant with her to break the curse. The movie follows Li Ronan (Tsai Hsuan-yen), a mother who tries to save her six-year-old daughter from a curse - one that Ronan herself ignited six years ago by breaking a religious taboo. I determined that Incantation, with elements of folklore and possession, is a slow-burn horror film that continues to scorch long after your screen fades to black.ĭirected by Kevin Ko, Incantation is now the highest-grossing film in Taiwan in 2022, and the highest-grossing horror film in Taiwan of all time. And so, in the name of journalism, I decided to partake in the challenge and find out if Incantation is truly as scary as TikTok describes. As a horror movie fan, I know how difficult it is to find horror movies that are actually worth the watch. But the ranked list of films here are guaranteed to have you repeating to yourself, “It’s only a movie … it’s only a movie… it’s only a movie …”.A Taiwanese horror film called Incantation has TikTok so spooked out, that folks are challenging each other to watch the movie without pausing or stopping altogether.

So we’ve assembled our take on the 65 best horror films of the 21st century – the zombie-apocalypse tales, things-that-go-bump-in-the-psyche ghost stories, retro-slasher flicks, neo- giallo nuggets, J-horror, K-horror, French extreme and Hollywood franchise films that have spooked us, shook us and scared us shitless since 2000. and abroad that deserve a place in the pantheon.

That, and the fact that such free-floating dread would help give birth to a number of films from both the U.S.

Yes, it’s always been a durable genre regardless of what’s going on in the culture, but considering what’s happened globally over the last 20 or so years, it makes sense that horror films would resonate with folks the way they have. Back in the late Sixties and early Seventies, Vietnam and civil unrest helped kickstart a new golden age of American horror movies shortly after the beginning of our new century, we had one massive public atrocity and several new wars to fuel a whole new wave of movies dealing with communal anxieties via scary monsters and super-freaky maniacs.
