Horror fans cannot hide from the truth: it was not a great year for gender. This does not mean that there were no real stars, but 2022 - a banner year for horror - was a difficult act to follow. I have been making a list of end of year like this for 10 years, and I do not remember the last time that so many the most publicized titles have fallen flat for me. At the same time, there were surprising winners among the studio outings that I expected to feel less enthusiastic. What I had left during the dressing of this list of my favorites was an eclectic mixture of twisted Indes, solid suites and really powerful fear. Read the rest to see my choices for the 19 best horror films of 2023.

Thriller in part, horror of the body in part, but all viscerally uncomfortable to look. Carter Smith Swallowed is difficult to describe, especially on a family website.

The pre-courses , a film of sequences found on a group of friends who disappears in the desert, may not be for you. I say that from the start because this deeply disturbing film will sneak under your skin - it is a 110 -minute nightmare that not everyone can bear. Writer-director Robbie Banfitch has created something that seems dangerous in a way that few contemporary horror films do. It is the release in 2023 which is the most glued with me.

Few horror bad guys have become an instant icon like M3gan, the robot doll with homicidal impulses. She is clearly Chucky for the new generation infected with AI, but she herself has a style. M3gan is really a comedy of horror, without ever forgetting or moving away from the ridiculous of his premise (credit there to Akela Cooper wise script). For those looking for something a little more Ryd, the Noted cut offers additional blood effusions.

Yes, this is an influencer ( Emily Tennant ) On vacation in Sponcon in Thailand, but once she met a mysterious foreigner ( Cassandra Naud ), things become more complicated.

The horror of pregnancy is nothing new, and yet, Huessera: the bone woman manages to feel completely fresh. Part of this is due to the director Michelle Garza Cererara Script - with which she co -written Abia Castillo "Do you play the expected destination."

Admittedly, the 10th episode of a horror frankness cannot be one of the best of the year, right? Never doubt the power of Jigsaw! Saw x is both a prequel (take place between Saw And Saw II ) and the inherited suite ( Tobin And Shawnee Smith make their feedback so much expected), and it's so much better than Saw Fans dared Dream. Yes, he delivers the gnarly kills for which the series is known, but it may also be the clearest and the most thoughtful Saw Film never directed.

Do not read anything on this film. Maybe I haven't even read this brief recommendation, even if I'm going to do my best to reveal anything. John Ainslie's Do not disturb Benefit from not knowing anything - you just have to enter with an open mind and a strong stomach.

Bad is one of the most difficult to spine horror series. The first two are the comedy of cabin horror in wood - increasingly emphasizing comedy in the following - but the third launches the time trip in the mix. The restart of Gritty 2013 (ISH) was followed by a much lighter television series, and now Mélone du evil has a little of everything. (OK, no time travel.) It's darkly funny, tirelessly brutal and just as soaked in blood as its predecessors. In other words, an explosion.

A story of a deeply disturbing modern Frankenstein, Laura Moss' Birth / Renaissance is one of the best horror films of the year. I am not saying that as negative - sometimes sit with discomfort is the genre. Sailor And Judy Reyes Offer high -level performance as two women whose life is hidden by tragedy and very experimental treatment. The film is as convincing as it is disturbing.

The horror of the holidays is abundant, but Thanksgiving has always been a poorly served - at least so far. Eli Roth Extension of the false trailer he made for 2007 Tight is really valid. Thanksgiving is another shameless Slasher return which feels both nostalgic and new. The real stars here are the killings on the theme of the infinitely creative vacation, which will make you cringe and laugh to an equal measure.
