Top 1. 0 Best Horror Movies Of 2. Let’s take a look at the biggest and best horror movies of 2. The scary list features the usual mix of sequels (. Based on what I’ve seen, and on anticipation, these are the top 2. Get excited. Let me know your picks, or anything I’ve missed, below (leave a comment for your chance to win one of the movies listed!)2. They’re Watching. Starring: Brigid Brannagh, David Alpay, Dimitri Diatchenko, Kris Lemche. Directors: Jay Lender, Micah Wright. Released: March 2. U. S. Dates) - Seen It- The TV crew of a property makeover show return to Moldova, Eastern Europe to catch up with an American pottery artist who bought a remote rustic house outside a simple village. The superstitious, pitchfork- wielding locals treat the crew with increasing hostility. Soon they will be trying to kill them, but why? To say more would go into spoiler territory. But then it finds its footing and with the premise in focus has a certain originality to it. After a good stretch, things collapse in the last 1. Sy. Fy Channel ashamed. Some have said these fx are deliberate spoof but the rest of the film really isn’t and either way it’s misjudged. Still, there’s enough quality in the second half to make . And it might have the best horror poster of the year. Howl. Starring: Ed Speleers, Sean Pertwee, Holly Weston, Shauna Macdonald. Director: Paul Hyett. Released: TBC 2. 01. Seen It- A long- suffering train guard (Speleers, . Before long the moaning passengers have more than delays to worry about, as they are attacked by werewolves from the forest. As siege horror goes the characters are by the numbers (eg the selfish one locking people out), the supposedly humorous types (football fan, Indian nerd) fall flat, but otherwise the performances are decent. It has strong atmosphere, solid production values and a nice old school vibe. The all- practical creature designs are a mixed bag: close ups of snarling faces and three- jointed legs are very effective but the torsos look kinda rubbery and the performers move a bit like a Comic- Con cosplay. I preferred . With the help of an Australian travel journalist (Taylor Kinney, TV’s . Japan looks good on film, always feeling well suited to the genre, though it’s not used as effectively as, say, . The acting is decent and it definitely has scares. However it’s hard to buy an emotional connection between one actress playing both twins since there’s a particular artificiality about it. The big frustration comes from a protagonist whose actions we are so against: She is warned that the woods will create illusions to trick her into despair but she falls for it every time. It all leads to a downer of a finale, and a kiss- off jump scare that leaves you shaking your head. Southbound. Starring: Kate Beahan, Matt Bettinelli- Olpin, Chad Villella, Kristina Pesic. Directors: Radio Silence, Roxanne Benjamin, David Bruckner, Patrick Horvath. Released: February 5, 2. Seen It- On and off a stretch of desert highway, five sets of sinning characters encounter a reckoning at the hands of demonic- locals and floating soul- reapers. They include three stranded rock chicks who accept a night with an unsettling ’5. The desert setting is used to strong atmospheric effect, with its rundown motels and empty gas stations. The John Carpenter- inspired 8. The first two segments are creepy and intriguing. But the long- winded hospital- torture sequence that follows turns out to be pointless and the idea of characters being killed for their past sins gets repetitive (being unoriginal to begin with – see also this year’s . For an anthology there’s a remarkably consistent look and tone going from one director’s segment to the next – anthologies typically feel like short films thrown together, often with wildly different levels of quality and the sense that the directors are competing with each other (see last year’s . The result is that it all exists within the same universe. The ending ties in quite nicely with an earlier event but still too much is left unexplained, from what the father did to the girl, why innocents are harmed, to the cafe shaking at the start etc, and there could have been much stronger overlap in the connections between the characters, instead of being randoms dropping in and out. A decent time but expected more. Cameras (aka . But far more concerning is their revolting, monosyllabic landlord, who has been spying and perving on them using tiny cameras hidden around the property. And just what is he doing in the locked basement? However seeing him shuffle around and grunting on film isn’t as effective as it could have been – in the final analysis he’s not frightening enough. Instead the movie is overtaken by the subplot of the husband (physically reminiscent of Mark Zuckerberg) cheating on his pregnant wife. That subplot is well acted, nuanced and shot, but it’s not what we came to see and its resolution is abrupt. Combine this with the violence being tame or off- screen and you feel they should have had the balls to go the full horror route. They could have nudged the Slumlord character into being one of the horror greats. The Boy. Starring: Lauren Cohan, Rupert Evans, Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle. Director: William Brent Bell. Released: January 2. Seen It- A young American woman (Lauren Cohan, . After violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing events lead her to believe the doll might be alive. She’ll need the help of the local grocery delivery man (Rupert Evans, . It’s an old fashioned film with a particularly slow build up, though off- kilter scenes like the elderly parents adoring the doll, and the nanny growing emotionally closer to it, make it rather watchable. Still, there’s little more than hints and suggestions right until the last 2. By then curiosity over whether it will be a moving doll (Chucky) or a stationary doll (Annabelle) is as peaked as it can be, for which the film deserves credit. But when things go in the direction they do for the last 2. It also obliterates the tension in what had been, until then, an enjoyable and atmospheric piece. Horror Movies 2. 01.

When it comes to horror, writers go back to the old “evil in the shape of a child” motif time and time again. I know some people who hate it and I also know some people who love it. I am part of the latter group. I’ve always found things extra creepy when evil is represented as a child, especially when the character has a tragic aspect to it. The problem with top ten lists is that there is no way to include everybody so I give you something that is most assuredly not definitive but a pretty good representation of what I’m partial to. Here we go! 1. 0) Rhoda Pennmark (The Bad Seed 1. Nothing like little miss perfect in pigtails being a killer sociopath. I was reluctant to include her on the list because; while The Bad Seed is an excellent thriller I wouldn’t exactly say it’s horror. Highlights include her conversation with the old groundskeeper Leroy that results in him being burned alive. The Grady twins (The Shining 1. When it comes to iconic images of ghosts, you can’t really deny that the Grady twins are right up there. Even though they don’t really do much in Kubrick’s film, I’ve always been creeped out by their scene with Danny. For those of you who haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do. You have a bunch of murderous children psychically linked to their mother who kill whoever enrages her and it’s not pretty. Highlights include the children overwhelming poor Raglan and busting through the closet door after Candice. The infant (It’s Alive 1. What’s scarier than the prospect of being a new parent? Well how about if your baby is a horrible mutant with fangs that kills anyone it sees. It’s Alive makes the list on the laurels of being a killer baby movie. It’s totally ridiculous but I think that’s why I like it. Highlights include the birthing scene and the baby stalking the milkman to his doom. Santi (the Devil’s Backbone 2. In the wake of the 6th sense, Hollywood churned out quite a few ghost stories, one of which was the Devil’s Backbone. Santi is a tragic apparition that serves as a powerful reminder that history can and does repeat itself. The flick was directed by Guillermo del Toro, so his special brand of heavy handed messages are found in abundance. The Highlights is defiantly Santi’s tragic origin. Isaac/Malaki (Children of the Corn 1. There was something about the children of the corn that really made me want to see those kids get what was coming to them. I think if one evil child is creepy, than a bunch of them would be even worse. I couldn’t decide who was freakier in Children of the Corn, Isaac had the whole religious zealot thing going on, or Malaki who was much more brutal. Highlights are defiantly Malaki sacrificing Isaac, and then Isaac’s revenge. Damien Thorn (The Omen 1. For the fourth spot I picked Damien purely because it doesn’t get much better than straight up being the anti- christ. The Omen would see a lot of lesser sequels spawned from it and, of course, the remake in 2. Despite all of that, the film has always been a great example of stuffing a lot of biblical evil into a cute little kid. Regan Mac. Neil (The Exorcist 1. There would be no way to do this list without including Linda Blair’s foul- mouthed pea- soup- spitting monstrosity. The Exorcist was nothing short of groundbreaking, and the special effects coupled with the insane language just makes for a totally in- your- face horror icon. Highlights include the crab walking scene down the stairs and the infamous “cross scene.”2) Sadako/Samara (The Ring/Ringu 1. Whether you like the originals or the remakes, it’s hard to deny that The Ring produced an instantly classic and freaky little ghost girl. The Ring brought Japanese horror to the mainstream and made me kind of afraid of my own television. Highlights include her first emergence from the television set, and her well climb in the Ring 2. Toshi Saeki (Ju- on/The Grudge 2. Well we’ve reached the number one spot and many of you might be surprised at the decision. Trust me, I don’t mean to lessen the ground breakers that have come before it, but for me the freakiest kid has to go to Toshi AKA cat- boy. Like The Ring, I enjoyed both the originals and the remakes. I don’t know if I was the right age or in the right place, but The Grudge movie sucked me in and this kid scared the crap out of me (I mean jeez look at that thing’s face). The worst part about this kid is how he just turns up everywhere. Highlights include showing up under the table at a restaurant and, of course, his attack on William’s family. Well that’s my list. Have I missed some of your personal favourites? Or do you think I have the order all screwed up? Comment and tell me what you think and as always thanks for reading!
