Every year, you never know what the horror genre is going to unleash upon the world. You have an unsuspecting audience, just waiting to have their deepest and darkest fears manipulated.... all in the comfort of an air conditioned theater or their home. Not every year has been full of winners, some have proven to be better than others, but 2016 has yielded some very interesting genre fare that is full of a little bit of everything under the sun. My fellow creeps, I've put together what I feel (in my humble opinion) to be the best of the best for this year. There were a few that were nudged out by only inches and that's not a bad thing. It just proves that there are more stories to tell and makes me dream about all the amazing scares yet to come. So, without further adieu, I give you my top 13 horror films of 2016! (based on release dates and not the years they were filmed.... although some may be in the last quarter of 2015.)
10) He Never Died
I love Henry Rollins. Ever since the Black Flag days, through his spoken word performances and his staunch views on nearly everything, I love the man. He's crossed over several times into major motion pictures, but this was the role he was born to play. It's one of the most original stories I've seen and without giving away the premise, this is one that you need to add to your queue. He plays the character almost completely straight and deadpan, but it works. 'He Never Died' is part cannibal movie, part undead anti-hero, part action film and part dark satire. It's all woven together into a tapestry of fascination that you can't look away from. A solid contender on this list.
Suggested snack to eat while watching: blood sausage
