50 great British horror films since 2010

Every so often I see someone on Twitter bemoaning the lack of recent British horror films. If only they made more films like this one movie I like; or Why don’t the Brits make horror films anymore; or It’s been too long since there was a good British horror film. I have created this post so that in the future I can provide a service to these poor, benighted souls by pointing them to a list of titles.

Here we have 50 - 50! – British horror films released on DVD in the UK and/or USA since 2010, every one of which I would personally recommend. The ten marked with an asterisk are particularly superb. Not everyone will agree with me on all of these, but there’s enough here for anyone bemoaning the lack of recent good British horror films to find plenty they will enjoy. Some are scary, some are funny, some are dramatic, but all are worth your time and money.

Awaiting, The Awakening, Axed
Before Dawn, Berberian Sound Studio*, Black Death, Blackwood, Blood + Roses, Blooded, Book of the Dead, Bordello Death Tales, Burke and Hare, Byzantium*
Cage, The Captive (US: Armistice), The Chamber, Community, Cryptic
The Dead*, The Devil’s Music
Elfie Hopkins (US: Elfie Hopkins: Cannibal Hunter), Exam*, Exhibit A
F (US: The Expelled), The Falling*, The Fallow Field
Gangsters Guns and Zombies, The Girl with All the Gifts*
The Harsh Light of Day, Heartless, The Holding
Inbred
Little Deaths, Little Devil (US: Demon Baby)
The Other Side of the Door
Plan Z, P.O.V., Prevenge
Red Kingdom Rising, Resurrecting ‘The Street Walker’*
Sawney: Flesh of Man (US: Lord of Darkness), The Seasoning House*, Stalled*, Strigoi
Tony, Tower Block
Under the Shadow*, Unhappy Birthday (aka Amen Island)
Wasteland, White Settlers (US: The Bloodlands)

And there's plenty more where those came from! Please note that this list does not include:

• Films that are highly rated by other people but not by me (Attack the Block, Kill List, Howl, The Borderlands…)
• Excellent films which have not yet been released on UK or US DVD (Blood and Carpet, The House of Him, My Bloody Banjo, Claire, Stag Hunt, The Invisible Atomic Monsters from Mars, Harmony’s Requiem, The Hell Experiment…)
• Films which have been well-reviewed but which I haven’t yet got round to seeing (A Dark Song, B&B, Await Further Instructions, K-Shop…)
• Films which I personally think are great but certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea (Slasher House, Zombie Women of Satan, Kill Keith, The Rise of Jengo…)

Supplement, May 2020:
Here are a few more: Anna and the Apocalypse, Darkness Wakes, Double Date, Egomaniac, Frankenstein's Creature, Freehold, The Ghoul, Hex, Nina Forever, Possum

You’re welcome.
