Top Sci-Fi Horror Films From the Last 25 Years as Ranked by IMDb Users20 of 20
1. Let the Right One In (2008) – Rating: 8.0
This is a beautiful, spare, dark, disturbing, sophisticated, sad, sweet, super-creepy character drama that just happens to be about the 12-year-old vampire next door. Eli has been 12 for more than 200 years now, but that's not something our main character, young Oskar, knows right away. He just knows he's bullied by other kids and falls in love with the peculiar Eli, whose continuing need for human blood becomes a serious problem.
This Swedish horror film is based on the book by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and it got itself an American remake, Let Me In, starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Richard Jenkins.
Despite the remake coming just two years after the original, fans still embraced it, giving it a 7.2 rating (although with fewer than 100,000 votes so far). If you head to the message boards on that one, you'll see there are actually a few fans who prefer the remake to the original.
