Director: Kevin Smith
The unparalleled worst of all the films on this list, it is hard to even fully consider Kevin Smith’s Tusk a movie. An idea born out of a podcast, that perhaps should have stayed there, it places us with Justin Long’s insufferable Wallace on a journey to Canada. Wallace is an arrogant and generally unlikeable podcaster who is making the trip to interview a strange, reclusive man for his show. When he arrives, he discovers not everything is what it seems, as the man seeks to turn him into a wa...
Director: Austin Vesely
In what was just narrowly better than last place, Slice is a film that managed to get a lot of talent involved, though it ended up with almost nothing to show for it. The most goofy of all horror comedies, it is set in a small town where a series of mysterious murders of pizza deliverymen mark the signs of something seriously wrong for the area’s residents. There is an intrepid journalist, some bumbling detectives, and cheesy effects, and it feels like it was trying to be a cult film without...
Director: Jeff Baena
Speaking of other horror comedies, the charming but meandering Life After Beth is one that has a lot of good within it, even as it ranks so low on this list. It follows Dane DeHaan as Zach, who is struggling with the accidental death of his girlfriend. The titular Beth, played by an outstanding Aubrey Plaza, then returns from beyond the grave and re-enters Zach’s life. The troubled lovers will have to work through their fraught relationship and figure out what is going on with her. It is that...
Director: Bryan Bertino
A straightforward and typical monster flick with a title that tells you most of what you need to know, The Monster is a road trip interrupted when a mother hits an animal on the road while driving with her daughter. Before this, mother Kathy (Zoe Kazan) and daughter Lizzy (Ella Ballentine) already have a strained relationship. Much of this stems from Kathy’s alcoholism, which Lizzy bears the brunt of, often having to be the adult in the relationship and take care of the parental figure who is...
Director: Lee Cronin
An entry that fully leans into the "creepy as hell kid" vein of horror, Lee Cronin's The Hole in the Ground is about that and so much more. It follows single mother Sarah (Seána Kerslake) who lives with her son Chris (James Quinn Markey) in the rural Irish countryside. One night, Chris disappears behind their home and comes back behaving rather differently. This leads Sarah to believe he may be an impostor and that it is somehow all tied to the titular hole that is in the forest near their ho...
Director: Peter Strickland
A film that had so much going for it that it breaks my heart to put it this low, In Fabric tells the story of a killer (in both appearance and in nature) dress. The first part of the film follows a brilliant Marianne Jean-Baptisteas Sheila, a divorcee who stumbles upon a dress that will alter the course of her life. The blood-red gown begins to haunt her and even destroys her washing machine. The film is silly yet hypnotic, making you wonder both at the dress and its witchy properties as well...
Director: Gaspar Noé
A hallucinatory drug trip of a film, Climax is a horror film that could only be made by the auteur director Gaspar Noé. It is more restrained and straightforward than some of his prior films, like the expansive masterpiece Enter the Void, though it still contains the director’s indelible stamp of surrealness. It focuses on an ensemble cast of a dance troupe who are drugged and begin to descend into madness that will leave them uncertain of what is real. It is a technical marvel with many exte...
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Before you even say it, yes, Enemy is not entirely a horror film in the conventional sense. Most would describe it as more of a psychological thriller, though that ends up leaving out a lot of the more horrifying aspects, especially its visuals. Loosely based on the novelThe Double by Jose Saramago, Enemy has Jake Gyllenhaal pulling double duty as two men who look the exact same, though are opposite sides of the same coin. When one discovers the existence of the other, their worlds begin to b...
Director: Rose Glass
A film that deserved a far better release than it got, Saint Maud marks the point where this list starts to get really good. An incredible feature debut from writer-director Rose Glass, it's a film about faith and loneliness that proves to be a brutally painful study of its central character. It stars a convincing Morfydd Clark as Maud, a nurse who is caring for Jennifer Ehle’s ailing Amanda. Maud believes that she is being directed by her faithand begins to drift increasingly into deeper lev...
Director: Valdimar Jóhannsson
Lamb is a story of family and loss that plays out in the most terrifying place in the world: rural Iceland. Actually, it is quite a beautiful, though painfully remote, location, where isolation is precisely the point. The movie follows a farming couple who have lost a child and are now living a life devoid of any joy as they struggle in silence with their grief. That is until they discover an unexpected gift that brings new life to the farm. Initially a joyous moment for the couple, they rema...
