Must See Horror Movies from 2. Happy New Year everyone! With the end of 2. I’m no different. It is the age old tradition to compartmentalize a years worth of media into an easy to read checklist.

In some cases writers attempt to be unique. Their lists can include best of, worst of, best theatrical experiences, most hyped, best of Netflix, or worst films based on personal experiences that created a bias toward the films in question. I’ve decided to create my very subjective list in a straight forward manner. The following films all saw their wider release in 2. This means they were made available for mass consumption, whether it be in theaters, VOD, DVD/BLU, or Netflix/Hulu. For a few films that made the list, my partner- in- crime and I saw them during their festival run in 2. This being said, though I loved The Sacrament, it is not eligible for the 2.

So without further ado, here is my top 1. Feel free to hate it in the comments section. Bloody Acres (Cameron and Colin Cairnes)This Aussie horror comedy delivers equal doses of gallows humor and bloody special effects. That’s a Morgan Brothers guarantee.” Actor Angus Sampson steals the show as Lindsay, a stoic bully of an older brother. In the fertilizer biz it’s all about your brand’s special ingredient.

October 2017 VOD Releases Include CULT OF CHUCKY, BETTER WATCH OUT, WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES With the Halloween season finally upon us, that we’ve got a ton. New York based actor Maho Honda's official website. Watch The Curse Of Frankenstein Tube Free.

The Morgan brothers have found an ingredient to die for. Bloody Acres is 2. Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil. 1. 2. Contracted (Eric England)View my full review here. Eric England’s Cronenbergian take on sexually transmitted diseases even had the seventy year old couple behind us laughing at the utterly horrific on screen transformation. Among Friends (Danielle Harris)Danielle Harris’ (Halloween IV, V and Rob Zombie’s Halloween I, II) directorial debut showcases the beauty of a relatively new sub- genre taking shape – the dinner party comeuppance film.

In Among Friends we get Next Wave regular AJ Bowen in another great performance and cameos by Kane Hodder and Xavior Gens (Frontier(s)). Also, don’t miss the hallucination sequence where Harris cameos in her Halloween IV costume. Would You Rather (David Guy Levy)Another dinner party film.

Horror legend Jeffrey Combs plays a sadistic high society figure who invites desperate individuals to his home to compete in a series of “would you rather” games. Each round, the game gets bloodier and more satisfying. The film asks the age old question of how far you are willing to go to find a bone marrow donor for your brother dying of leukemia?

Sasha Grey fits her role like a glove. American Mary (The Soska Sisters)The Soska Sisters first film, Dead Hooker In A Trunk (2. American Mary solidifies their presence in modern horror.

Katharine Isabelle of Ginger Snaps fame trades the traditional route of a surgeon for that of a bod mod goddess. The modifications you see are all done through practical effects and they are a feat to behold especially since the film was shot in only fifteen days. V/H/S 2 (Various)Some claim this sequel is better than the first, but I believe they are equally perfect.

Shaun has seen hundreds of horror movies, these are his 13 favorite horror films from 2013. Cast, crew and production information, as well as viewer comments.

Simon Barrett’s wrap around narrative – Tape 4. Adam Wingard’s “Phase 1 Clinical Trials” is absolutely horrifying. The ability to view another plane of existence whether it be ghosts or alternate dimensions is not just a plot device but a frightening philosophical concept that evokes the writings of H. P. Lovecraft. From one of the directors of The Blair Witch Project, Eduardo Sanchez, we get “A Ride In The Park” which creatively shows through POV the lifespan of a zombie. No other film has made me want a Go.

Pro camera so badly. Then we get to Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Evans homerun “Safe Haven.” Had this been a feature film, it may have crept into a top five spot on this list, maybe even number 2. Finally we get Hobo With A Shotgun director Jason Eisener’s “Slumber Party Alien Abduction,” which has all the likable elements of a Steven Spielberg film without all the elements that we hate. The kids in peril here have no happy ending, and rightly so within the confines of VHS 2. ABC’s Of Death (Various)2. There is nothing but pure beauty here.

Even if a few shorts don’t completely hit their mark, most do. Here’s a grocery list of its perfect ingredients: Angela Bettis (Roman), Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani (Amer), Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun), Xavier Gens (Frontier(s)), Timo Tjahjanto (VHS 2, Macabre), Ti West (House Of The Devil), Adam Wingard (You’re Next), Srdjan Spasojevic (Serbian Film), Simon Barrett (You’re Next), and among the producers is Tim League. I’m very excited for the sequel.

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (Jonathan Levine)…And so do I, but not in a fragmented or misogynistic kind of way. This year gave us two delayed films, but the two years of waiting for You’re Next is nothing compared to the seven long years we’ve waited for Jonathan Levine’s first feature. He’s gone on to do The Wackness and 5. Warm Bodies did so well that some suits realized they could make money off of Mandy Lane.

We all thought that when Amber Heard became a star that they would release it then, but unfortunately it sat collecting dust. It couldn’t have been an MPAA problem, because while the film does give us blood soaked scenes, there is nothing too excessive. We get a nice, clean- cut, post- modern Slasher during the era of Torture- Porn. The film is not a self- reflexive Scream knockoff, it is a loving tribute to the 8.

Slasher craze while being wholly original. Stoker (Chan- Wook Park)When I first heard about Stoker, I thought about Alexandre Aja’s transition from French Extremist to American remake connoisseur. Granted, Park has firmly established himself as a taboo breaking visual artist. I still feared that a Hollywood backed film would be his ruin. I was wrong, completely wrong, in my assumption. Taboos are broken and each scene is meticulously detailed in an eerie beauty.

Mia Wasikowska gives a complex performance. While, Nicole Kidman steps away from her normal center stage to let Mia shine, her stoicism and naivete are impressive. Stoker fits perfectly in Park’s filmography. Maniac (Franck Khalfoun)Speaking of Alexandre Aja and remakes, Maniac is a great example of what a remake should be. Produced/written by Aja and directed by P2’s Franck Khalfoun, Maniac takes the sweating and sleazy blob of Joe Spinell’s performance and chisels him into the good mannered Elijah Wood.

While William Lustig’s original focused on Frank’s psychology, the remake takes this even further in one of the most technically challenging and unsettling choices ever made in horror cinema. The film is told only through the POV of its killer, you are seeing the world through a Maniac’s perception. Also, a big thank you for including Q Lazzarus’ Goodbye Horses – I can never get enough of that song. The Battery (Jeremy Gardner)Jeremy Gardner is a remarkable director. Every frame of The Battery is saturated in love. All the pieces of the story fit perfectly together: A buddy road movie, an existential drama, a loss of innocence theme, and a zombie plague. With a budget of $6,0.

The Battery shows us exactly how independent horror is made. A special thank you for introducing me to not only Rock Plaza Central, but also Wise Blood. The Conjuring (James Wan)Even though The Conjuring was this year’s most hyped horror films, it was also one of the scariest. When they changed the rating from PG- 1. R due to overall tone, I thought back to Poltergeist.

Poltergeist still holds a parental guidance for 1. There has been a lot of conversation over The Conjuring using “Based On A True Story” in their ad campaigns. We will never truly know what the Warrens saw or what the Perrons went through in that house, and that’s okay because we get to be entertained for an hour and a half. As a film, James Wan delivers the unknown world of the supernatural through a less- is- more approach that works on all levels to create fear in the heart of his viewers. Watch Crashing Online.
