The 2. 0(+) Best Horror Films of 2. It took a while for 2. But it’s tough to look at a full twelve- months and fail to pinpoint at least twenty strong, solid, or downright fantastic horror films. While there are many ways to design a “best movies” list, my choices are not ranked in any particular order.

Godchecker guide to KRAMPUS (also known as Grampus): Beware the Anti-Santa. Krampus is the Germanic Demon and comes from the mythology of Germanic Europe.

Bottom line: I’d recommend all of these movies — some a bit more fervently than others. Here we go! Bone Tomahawk— “The Searchers meets The Hills Have Eyes” is the first thing I thought after seeing this enjoyably verbose horror / western mash- up. And I stand by that statement. It’s your standard five- in- one horror anthology, but there’s only one clunker in the bunch, there’s a lot of creepy creativity in the others, and there’s even a a few freaky twists in Act III. Might not be as fully satisfying as Krampus (see below) but the two would certainly make for a solid double feature. Watch Avengers 2 (2015) Online For Free.

The switch this time? All the zombies are kids. Don’t read too much about the movie before checking it out. It’s got a few very creepy surprises. Suffice to say that we probably won’t be seeing an American remake of this one any time soon. It’s about two hard- rockin’ Kiwi kids who accidentally summon a demon with their music. All nine of us.” (full review)Ex Machina — OK, fine.

This is sci- fi. It’s just so damn good I felt like including it. Also it is a pretty creepy film if you think about it. The “sucked into a movie” gimmick doesn’t always work (The Last Action Hero), but then again some times it does. It’s about a guy who runs into an old school chum — only it turns out that they weren’t exactly chums, and that sometimes old grudges are never forgotten.

SUPERGREITI!

Lots of weird jolts and shocks to be found in this off- kilter but very well- made Austrian import. The Green Inferno— The Italian cannibal flick gets a fresh homage via Eli Roth, and the results are a grim, gruesome experience. Aside from a few missteps in the comic relief department, this tale of American kids who stumble across a tribe of Peruvian cannibals does a fine job of emulating the sub- genre “classics” like Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Feriox.

It’s about a seemingly immortal man who learns that he has a daughter, which is news to his numerous enemies . Trust me on this one, and please avoid the trailer, which gives away a lot more than it should. Well, maybe there is one way, but it’s pretty awful. Gorgeous to look at, darkly funny, and wonderfully weird, It Follows is the best horror film of 2.

The flick takes a little while to warm up, but a great cast and some pretty awesome monster FX combine to deliver a generous portion of yuletide mayhem. Sounds like a really terrible comedy from the 1. It’s actually a very smart, weird, and offbeat piece of romantic horror from across the pond. This is a rough, confrontational indie horror film that recaptures some of the “misfit strikes back” vibe that horror fans will no doubt recognize from Carrie (1. While most of these movies wedge four or five scary tales into one frame, this one boasts no less than ten(!), which means there’s a little here for everyone.

A slice of Bavaria since 1968, Alpine Village is a destination for shopping, dinning, entertainment, and home of the biggest Oktoberfest celebration in L.A. Egypt's Karnak Temple was built in alignment with the solstice, in order to focus light on a shrine to the sun god. Photograph by Kenneth Garrett, National Geographic.

A group of snotty young jerks find themselves “haunted” by a malevolent online presence — and of course it has something to do with a terrible secret they all share. Night Shyamalan returns to the horror genre with this offbeat, laid- back, and unexpectedly engaging thriller about two young kids who spend some time with their estranged grandparents — accent on “strange.” (full review)We Are Still Here— A couple move into a creepy, old, isolated house, only to discover that. Something evil is afoot in this chilly thriller that combines standard supernatural tropes with 1. TV movies and a nice dash of Giallo- style pay- off. That’s why I write the reviews and not the movies, I guess. But see this movie tonight and you’ll thank me tomorrow. Is there an under- the- radar indie thriller that may warrant inclusion on this list?

Are there any plain old stupid omissions? Feel free to let me know on twitter. I may just update this piece to 3.

P. S. These might be on my 2. Bite, The Devil’s Candy, Green Room, High Rise, The Mind’s Eye, Sun Choke, and The Witch.—Want even more awesome thrills and chills? Check out Nerdist Presents: The Hive, now available on VOD!
