Monster movies are distinctly B-tier, but when the right filmmaker gets their hands on the right material, the A-list can beckon.

They are:

  1. Godzilla Minus One (Takashi Yamazaki, 2023)
  2. The Host (Bong Joon-ho, 2006)
  3. The Descent (Neil Marshall, 2005)
  4. Pan’s Labyrinth (Guillermo del Toro, 2006)
  5. The Mist (Frank Darabont, 2007)
  6. A Quiet Place (John Krasinski, 2018)
  7. Trollhunter (André Øvredal, 2010)
  8. Cloverfield (Matt Reeves, 2008)
  9. Prey (Dan Trachtenberg, 2022)
  10. Attack the Block (Joe Cornish, 2011)

    different movies, different objectives here, I wouldn’t compare them like this

    but on the basis of a “good movie”, minus one takes the win, it’s really well made and captivating
