The 2022 horror movies slate started strong with Scream 2022’s release on January 15. Despite the meta-slasher franchise being inactive for over a decade, Scream 2022’s return to Woodsboro didn’t feel tired or played out. Scream 2022’s smart satire of “re-quels” kept the horror deconstruction edge of the slasher franchise alive, but it was the sequ...
Another of the best horror movies of the year was the aptly-named Fresh. Fresh was a welcome surprise for horror movie audiences when it arrived on Hulu in March. Newcomer Daisy Edgar-Jones managed to wring real pathos and believable fear out of a somewhat ludicrous premise, while Sebastian Stan proved he could have been a great Patrick Bateman as ...
As the stellar reviews for Predator’s prequel Prey prove, audiences are crying out for effective sci-fi horror. Set in Pangnirtung - a small fishing village in the Canadian indigenous territory of Nunavut - Nyla Innuksuk’s feature debut Slash/Back could easily have been a worthy, self-serious attempt at so-called “elevated horror.” However, the ali...
The A24 movie Men is likely the most divisive title amongst 2022 horror, and for good reason. A gory, unsettling, and somewhat obtuse effort, Men is director Alex Garland’s most ambitiously weird movie so far. Men’s seemingly simple story follows Jessie Buckley’s bereaved heroine as she takes a vacation in a secluded English country house to proces...
An exercise in effective simplicity, The Black Phone is an adaptation of author Joe Hill’s short story of the same name - something that initially brought concerns from those who suspected the brevity of the written tale wouldn't translate well to a feature-length film. Directed by Sinister’s Scott Derrickson, The Black Phone traps its 13-year-old ...
Jordan Peele’s first two horror movies were rightfully recognized as instant classics of the genre but, despite this impressive pedigree, the sheer zaniness of Nope’s ambitious premise still gave many fans pause. Could Peele’s take on “Cowboys vs Aliens” really work? The answer proved to be a resounding yes, as Nope took all of the thrills and chil...
Michael Myers finally gets his in the final film of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy, Halloween Ends. The film sees the ultimate survivor Laurie Strode and her granddaughter Allyson Nelson face off against the masked slasher villain Michael Myers once and for all, in a nail-biting battle to the death. The film takes a different route than the...
Damien Leone's sleeper hit Terrifier 2 left audiences fainting and vomiting in theaters upon its release — obviously making it one of the year's best horror movies. Terrifier 2 follows the latest slasher villain on the block, Art the Clown, as he literally terrorizes Miles County on an all-out killing spree. The only one who can stop the resurrecte...
Everyone loves a good Christmas-themed horror movie, and The Mean One didn't disappoint. A new twist on a classic Dr. Seuss tale, The Mean One answers the question "what would happen if the Grinch was a horror story?". Directed by Stephen LaMorte (Bury Me Twice) and written by Flip and Finn Kobler, the horror-parody turns Cindy Lou-Who into Cindy Y...

- Fresh. A perfectly-cast Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan star in this rom-com-turned-cannibal nightmare, which brilliantly builds a budding romance for 33 minutes before unleashing a sharp twist and a darkly comedic opening credit sequence.
- The Cursed. Criminally overlooked due to a theatrical release opposite milquetoast hits such as “Dog” and “Uncharted,” this early-1900s werewolf tale remixes classical mythology with some frightening new visions.
- Men. Alex Garland’s latest nightmare is an all-too-timely fable about men controlling and gaslighting women. Effectively a two-hander, “Men” stars the brilliant Jessie Buckley as a woman vacationing in the British countryside after the suicide of her husband.
- Scream. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the directing duo who helmed 2019’s clever horror mystery “Ready or Not,” revived the “Scream” franchise with a better-than-expected new chapter.
