Top Ten of 2017

It's the end of the year and time to make our list of favorite films of the year.  So without further adieu....


10.  The Void

It's Assault on Precinct 13 meets John Carpenter's The Thing, and to me that's a good thing (pun intended). 
 

9. The Blackcoat's Daughter

From director Oz Perkins (the son of Anthony Perkins) comes this slow burn chiller.  It takes a while to get where it's going, but it's worth the trip. 

8. Better Watch Out

A home invasion film with a twist, this is a new holiday classic. 

7. Annabelle Creation

I love director David Sandberg and this film cements him as an amazing director. 

6. IT

This was probably the most anticipated horror movie of the decade.  I can't say it's superior to the original because this is only the first part.  I did enjoy this and I have high hopes for the sequel. 

5. A Dark Song

An intimate and creepy film about loss and moving on it shows a side of mystical ceremonies we never see. 

4. Mayhem

Director Joe Lynch shows us the ultimate hostile work environment and makes us kind of want to be there. 

3. 

Director Mike Flanagan continues his streak with a film many thought wasn't adaptable, he proved them wrong


2.

A horror film that broke into the mainstream and started people talking about the film and our country. 


1.

This movie combined several of the things I love and was my favorite of the year.  Heavy metal, ghosts and serial killers all add up to a great film. 

Better Watch Out

On a quiet suburban street, a babysitter must defend a twelve-year-old boy from intruders, only to discover it's far from a normal home invasion.

I knew absolutely about this going in, and I think that is the best way to see it.  Things are so easily spoiled now that it's good to be surprised. 

I was expecting Home Alone meets The Strangers, but got so much more. 

Co-writer and director Chris Peckover deliver a very unique holiday horror film that delivers on tension and surprises.  

I wouldn't be surprised if this shows up in a lot of top 10 horror movie of the year lists. 

Never answer a call when you're isolated in a house.
