31 Days of Modern Horror: The Shortlist

You'd be surprised how difficult it is to create a list of just 31 horror films that we believe are the best of the last 18 years. There have been tears, glares, and the odd insult but we've managed to hack away at our massive Longlist to bring you this, our 31 Days of Modern Horror Shortlist.

(Which, by the way, is still twice as long as it should be. Say a prayer for our marriage. 😉)
