in 2016's the wailing, which follows a policeofficer as he tries to uncover the truth about the mysterious, violent sickness sweepingthrough his south korean mountain village. although the wailing is the slowest of slowburns, running a ridiculous two hours and thirty-six minutes, director hong-jin na earnsevery second of his movie's runtime by ramping up the tension to the perfect pitch and pacingout the scares like a pro. the babadook this entry from down under was on everyone'slists of the best horror films of 2015, and it's not hard to see why. tense, atmospheric, visually striking, andwith an oscar-worthy performance by noah wiseman
as the creepy kid to end all creepy kids,this story of a single mother battling an evil storybook creature called the babadookis high-quality nightmare material. as far as ceiling-crawling anti-gravity monstersgo, this guy is chilling. the unborn 2009 was a dry period for good, original horrorfare, with the exception of the unborn, which has plenty to make it worth a watch: a family-centric,fetal twist on the usual possession storyline, top-quality scares and solid production values,and a surprisingly great cast. the unborn asks all of the important questions. "do you think it's possible to be hauntedby someone who was never even born?"
not only does oscar-nominated actor gary oldmanturn up, but senior citizen scares like this one will probably keep you from visiting grandmafor a long, long time. (creepy moaning) sinister if you've been nostalgic for ethan hawke sincehis 1990s dreamboat days ended, you'll definitely dig him in this grown-up role as a skepticaldad who doesn't quite believe that he's discovered a haunted box of super 8 reels. until it's too late, of course, and the scaresare coming fast and furious. released in 2012, sinister does a nice jobof mashing up the contemporary concept of
found-footage horror with the feel of a classichaunting flick, and the "home movies" that are central to the film's plot are genuinelycreepy, from the first scene on. the host before he wowed the world with snowpiercer,director bong joon-ho was the director of the best korean creature feature of the earlyaughts. the 2006 film the host tells the story ofa hapless dad searching for his daughter, who has been kidnapped by an acrobatic, sewer-dwellingbeast with murder on its mind. the movie is as much a godzilla satire asit is a straightforward monster flick, and the director's trademark slapstick momentsare great tension-relievers in a very, very
taut thriller. a girl walks home alone at night as stylish as she is deadly, the veiled vampireat the center of ana lily amirpour's debut feature film is the best kind of bad girl,and remarkably sympathetic for a person who feasts on the blood of the living. the pacing in this horror flick is a bit slow,but made up for by the beauty of its leading lady and its atmospheric black-and-white world. when blood spills in amirpour's setting ofbad city, the splatter is downright elegant. housebound
this kiwi horror comedy takes a tongue-in-cheekapproach to a classic trope: instead of movie about a haunted house, it's a movie abouta haunted house arrest. small-time criminal kylie is sentenced toeight months on her parents' property, which happens to have an angry ghost in residence. kylie's ankle bracelet also serves as a cleveranswer to the question that plagues most haunted horror films — unlike the dopey charactersin other movies who inexplicably stick around to be terrorized, the heroine of houseboundcan't leave her ghost-ridden residence. "aren't you lucky kylie, having all that fancytechnology on your foot." choosing between brutal ghost death and aprison sentence was never so difficult.
bad milo! "what is it?" "you've got a thing in your butt." thanks to the oversaturated nature of thehorror genre, bad milo is not the only movie you can watch in which a murderous monsteremerges from someone's tushie. it is, however, the best of the bunch. sorry, dreamcatcher. starring longtime comedy icon and the stateveteran ken marino, bad milo tells the story of a man who discovers that his lifelong gastrointestinalissues are the result of a demonic polyp,
which escapes from his ass to kill his enemiesat will. despite its incredibly gross premise, themovie rises above basic bathroom horror to be reliably entertaining — and milo, thebutt gremlin who kinda looks like the baby from dinosaurs, is really pretty lovable. (adorable butt-monster noises) hush the ordinary home invasion thriller gets kickedup a notch by the injection of a unique twist in hush: the heroine is deaf. low on gore and high on suspense, the 2016film succeeds despite a limited budget and
almost no dialogue, thanks to its deliberatestorytelling and creative use of sound and silence to ramp up the tension. add in a stellar performance by kate siegel,who also co-wrote the film, and hush is more than worth investing the short 80 minutesit takes to watch. dead snow gory, ghastly, and campy as hell. in other words, dead snow fulfills all reasonableexpectations for a horror film about zombie nazis rising from a snow-covered hillsideto ruin a perfectly good ski vacation. you won't get nuanced performances or subtlehitchcockian tension from this movie; you
will, however, get all the blood-spatteredaction you've ever wanted. when will people realize that remote cabinsare absolutely terrible vacation spots? dead silence if you're creeped out by ventriloquist dummies,and seriously, who isn't?... (everyone's reaction to ventriloquist dummies) ...then you'll thoroughly appreciate thismovie by horror virtuoso james wan, who delved into dummy fare in between directing his better-knownprojects saw and insidious. starring true blood's ryan kwanten, dead silenceoccasionally veers into cheesy territory, but it's hard not to when your charactersare battling the ghost of an evil ventriloquist.
fortunately, its premise is unique enough,and it delivers solid scares. we are what we are in this 2013 film, the parkers are a close-knitand reclusive family bound by a mysterious shared religious tradition. but rather than draw out that mystery, weare what we are reveals it early on and then draws its horrors from the resulting familydrama. there's plenty of blood and guts here, too,but the american gothic flavor and subtle character development elevate it above theaverage gorefest. cabin fever: patient zero
fans of the original cabin fever will likethis film for the same reasons as they loved the original. it's gruesomely, graphically disgusting, possiblyeven more than its predecessors. centering on the origin story of the series'flesh-eating virus, and the worst bachelor party in history, cabin fever: patient zeroreveals the shocking truth. honeymoon if you've been missing actress rose lesliesince her untimely exit from game of thrones, this slow burn horror flick about a honeymoongone wrong will put her back on your tv screen. leslie stars opposite harry treadaway in astory about two newlyweds whose post-nuptial
bliss at a secluded cabin is rudely interruptedby something strange lurking in the woods. without spoiling anything, let's just saythat the honeymoon gets real weird, real fast, before it's officially over. it follows with every classic horror trope having beendone and re-done to death, it's rare to find a movie that looks and feels like somethingyou've never seen before. "wherever you are, it's somewhere, walkingstraight for you. all you can do is pass it along to someoneelse." but with its unique premise, slow pacing,and inventive soundtrack, it follows is one
of the creepiest and most original horrorreleases in years — a particularly impressive feat considering its small budget and useof old-school practical effects to bring the scares. a million-dollar cgi monster has nothing ona half-naked, toothless intruder peeing on your kitchen floor. take our word for it. the awakening for spooky atmospheric tension and a uniquehistoric premise, look no further than the awakening.
set in the aftermath of the first world war,this movie follows its heroine to a boarding school with a ghost problem…or is it? with its characters as haunted by the horrorsof war as they are by any spirits on campus, the awakening is big on suspense, and themystery of what kind of evil they're dealing with persists almost all the way to the end. v/h/s for those with short attention spans, there'snothing better than a feature-length anthology of mini-horror-movies—and v/h/s is amongthe best. using every available found-footage conceit,from recorded skype calls to vacation videos,
it tells a series of scary stories that runthe gamut from alien abduction to wilderness monsters, twenty minutes at a time. if you dig the v/h/s anthology, a pair ofsequels in the same format, v/h/s/2 and v/h/s: viral, are also available to stream on netflix. troll hunter not to be confused with the original animatednetflix series trollhunters, or even the amazing troll 2… "oh my goooooodddddddd!" ...troll hunter is director andrã© ã˜vredal'sfirst horror movie, so catch it while it's
still on netflix. set in the remote, forested northern fjordsof norway, this found-footage mockumentary follows a group of students as they try tocatch an elusive species of giant troll on camera, without being eaten or trampled alivein the process. needless to say, some of the characters aremore successful in that endeavor than others. ravenous in this 1999 film, a group of mid-19th-centurymilitary frontiersmen save the life of a stranger who stumbles into their camp… who then thanksthe frontiersmen by having them all for dinner. "man eats the flesh of another, he absorbsthe other man's strength…"
(epic, cannibalistic yelling) cannibal hillbilly stories are a dime a dozen,but ravenous breathes fresh life into the trope with an awesome cast, a nifty historicalangle, and some unexpectedly hilarious jokes about the etiquette of eating your fellowman. tucker and dale vs. evil "come on!" "what is going on?" "how is he even walking right now, tucker?" "he looks like he's going to walk it off.
he's going to be fine." if you're looking to scream with laughterrather than terror, it doesn't get better than this pitch-perfect sendup of the campslasher genre. tyler labine and alan tudyk star as a pairof backwoods bffs who are just trying to enjoy a relaxing vacation at their fixer-upper cabinin the mountains. but when a group of preppy, judgmental collegekids sets up camp nearby, a series of absurd misunderstandings unleash an unstoppable tideof rage, violence, and accidental deaths-by-woodchipper. an american werewolf in london the best practical special effects you'llever see in a creature feature belong to this
classic werewolf movie from 1981. an american werewolf in london is as darklyfunny as it is terrifying, in a dry, british sort of way, like when the mangled spiritsof the various victims of david's lunar activities turn up to scold him for not only killinginnocent londoners, but being such an unrefined boor about it. "what shall i do?" "suicide." they just don't make horror like this anymore…although they tried, bless their little hearts. don't confuse this one with the 1997 film,an american werewolf in paris, which was a
pile of hot garbage. odd thomas in this film based on a book by dean koontz,anton yelchin plays a small-town fry cook and part-time vigilante psychic who uses hisgifts to hunt down killers. he runs into trouble when his town is invadedby an evil beyond anything he's seen before. as horror flicks go, odd thomas is more whimsical,and occasionally sentimental, but yelchin is so charming in the title role that youwon't miss the jump scares a bit. hellraiser on its surface, hellraiser is a cautionarytale about buying and solving puzzle boxes
from sketchy moroccan street vendors. but really, it's all about master of horrorclive barker, and his first foray into the grotesque fantasy world that would spawn closeto a dozen films. the acting won't win any awards, and the goreis over the top even for a horror film, but hellraiser's unique combination of demoniclore and lingering cringe shots of slimy, torn-off people parts makes it a must-watchfor anyone who claims to be serious about horror. the fly everyone loves david cronenberg's 1986 versionof sci-fi horror story the fly, but this version
from 1958 came first. it's a classic science fiction film, witha cast that includes everybody's favorite cadaverous leading man, vincent price. as far as the plotline, you know the drill:mad scientist gets overambitious, has careless lab accident, transfigures self into gruesomehalf-human, half-fly monstrosity. but back in the mid-20th century, this moviewas groundbreaking—and even by modern-day standards, it goes to some shockingly darkplaces. the shining we know you've seen the shining, or at leastthe thousands of pop culture references to
it. "no tv and no beer make homer something something…" "go crazy?" "don't mind if i do!" but no matter how many times you've seen it,you haven't seen it enough. stanley kubrick's 1980 adaptation of stephenking's terrifying haunted-hotel novel was notoriously loathed by the author, but it'sstill a brilliant piece of filmmaking from a master. the shining packs in plenty of gut-punchingterror, focusing on a horrific performance
by jack nicholson as a man coming undone inthe worst way. in kubrick's hands, a slow and lingering visualcrawl down an empty hallway at the overlook hotel is more terrifying than any jump scare. but really, see it for the hundreds of popculture references that will suddenly make sense. "redrum redrum!" "danny stop it! danny?" "trab pu kcip!"
