TOP 10 HORROR MOVIES 2010
So it’s that time of the year again, when no exciting or fun news hits the wire as we wind down the year and every movie site devolves into making top 10 lists for all of the movies they’ve seen since last January. All joking aside, out of all the articles I write over the course of the year, this is the one I assume is an absolute gimmie every single year because I don’t have to think of any new topics.
The fact of the matter is that it’s extremely difficult to not only track down all of these movies but also to rank and file them in a coherent piece that exists not to stroke my own ego, but to hopefully spread the word of some really magnificent genre films that I truly believe deserve more respect than they get. So in an attempt to do just that I give you Djibril’s Top 10 Horror Movies of 2010. (All synopsis’ are from IMDB.com)
