Good CREATURE horror movies...recent

Anyone recommend modern day Creature horror/sci-fi movies please that didnt suck?

Say... 2000 - 2011.

This means no Ghosts, Zombies and Human Mutations, etc....
I know there are some great movies in regarding the above sentence but I'm trying to see if people still make good Creature movies.

Which means stuff like Jeepers Creepers, The Cave/Decent, Pandorum, Let Me In/Let the Right one in...etc....... does NOT need to be mentioned.

Hate to say this but maybe the last "horror" movie that I actually really enjoyed which fit the requirements was Pitch Black. (or The Host if you include foreign)

Seen:
The Mist (ok)
Cloverfield (meh)
The Wolfman (good)
Drag Me to Hell (ok)
Slither (ok)
Eight Legged Freaks (i liked its cheesyness.. sorry )
Piranha 3D (see above)
Splice (avg)
Please dont mention movies from Asylum Productions

Cheers.

You seem to like all the ones I hate, and hate all the ones I like.

Check out 'The Reef'. It's a shark movie that's quite well done.

There's a great South Korean movie called The Host, very worthwhile if you're looking into creature horror

"The Host" gets my vote. By far the best monster movie I've seen.

Monsters...............any tv show which shows Hollywood celebrities and their plastic surgery distorted faces and their "only bones" bodies.
It's really a freak show in all its glory

If I can remember The Relic is cool.

Ooo yes, The Relic, sorry seen that too.. it was just too early in the morning to recollect the good horror movies I've seen. The Relic was great... especially alone in the cinema years back.

Seen Silent Hill... loved the games... movie was ok.

I thought that "Cloverfield" was brilliant.

Hmm... you've mentioned "Slither" and "The Host"... the only one I can think of offhand (meaning the only other one which is memorable) is "Splice."

If you don't care enough to research your own question, why should anyone else care more?

Hate to say it bro, but not many creature features get made anymore, and the ones that do tend to be "straight to DVD" C-movie crap.

Interesting, but it could have been better. At least it was fun.

I've been thinking about this a bit more, and remembered one more which I liked over the last decade:

(REC) (made in Spain, avoid the lesser remake "Quarantine")

If you don't care enough to research your own question, why should anyone else care more?

Splice (avg)D

Cheers.
Let me correct you

Cloverfield is not MEH, it SUCKED HARD! HAAARD! (predictable, bad acting, everything felt scripted, crappy CGI and the cameraman captured everything perfectly like he knew where every evetn would happend)

The Wolfman SUCKED even HAAARDER! Incredibly boring, slow paced, bad CGI, lackluster manuscript. Allmost fell asleep

Drag me to hell was a comedy. Not a horror movie. Did you notice it had too "comedy actors" / sidekick actors?

Splice that you mentioned as "OK" was actually the best on your list. And that movie CRUSHES all movies together on your list. Why? Because of this: Original, good acting, creepy and an epic ending you will never forget.
I am not saying its the best horror movie I saw but compared to your shitty list it should get 10 oscars.

No one can argue with this. If you are not agree with me, then your taste in movies sucks and I will not discuss with you

How the fuc* do you dare to bring up a SHITTY movie like Monsters? Because of this fuc*in forum I saw this boring, shitty, bad acting, crappy piece of SHIT MOVIE!
In another thread a friend of mine who is registered on this forum got lured into watching this crap. Every single person on that thread said the movie was good.
WHY is it good? 98% of the movie is about 1 guy and 1 woman walking, walking, talking, walking (allmost ....ing). There are just 2 % of monster time in the whole movie!
And it is not even scary cause in the end the two monsters are FUC*IN each other and then just leave and then the movie ends!
This must be one of the worst movies I ever saw.
I dare you. TELL WHY YOU LIKED IT SO MUCH! PLEASE!
I am dying to know!
I have one sentence for this movie: Low budget piece of crap

Another shitty movie recommended on 7strings forum.
Well now I have to warn everybody I know against movie-recommendations on this forum.
Maybe just since I own 6strings-guitars I have good taste?
Let me ask you one thing: What do you remember from this movie? All I remember is one gigantic fish in the ocean and nothing more. Maybe just some sad japanese faces.
You know why? Cause the movie SUCKED! Boring manuscript, predictable japanese acting (sad faces, saying allmost nothing).
