Redefining Terror: Early 00s Horror That Stood Out
Today, we’re celebrating the late, great director Tobe Hooper, by looking at his underrated 2004 horror film Toolbox Murders, which features a chilling “coffin birth” scene that sets its unsettling tone. Shifting to another horror classic, Brittany Murphy’s role in Cherry Falls stands out as a unique slasher where the killer targets virgins, unlike her well-known parts in Clueless and 8 Mile. Finally, Valentine (2001), starring Marley Shelton, David Boreanaz, and Denise Richards, encapsulates the early 2000s vibe with its unexpected twists despite some typical slasher shortcomings. These films exemplify what makes early 2000s horror interesting: a mix of innovation, subversion of genre tropes, and a distinctive stylistic flair. Join us as we explore these unique horror films that capture the essence of early 00s horror.
