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)
