Don't worry, I know a lot of us don't respond well to long posts - so I am not putting pressure on anyone to reply to this. I won't throw a hissy fit like one particular former user ! I thought I would create this post here in case anybody is looking for modern recs, and for personal reference. It goes without saying, it is all subjective. Obviously some may disagree with some listed or not listed.

The 21st century has been, overall, an extremely healthy one for horror. There’s been the usual amount of dross, of course, but the genre has branched out in a number of interesting new directions as well.
