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.)
5) Green Room
Jeremy Saulnier is a director to watch. His work with Macon Blair has produced some of the more interesting films of the past several years. 'Green Room' is his newest outing and one that further stakes his claim as a man with a future. This film is entirely unique in it's premise and it's execution. There's so many moments of extreme tension and adrenaline, that you'll have to wait until it's over to catch your breath. It's borderline, in terms of being classified as horror, but it's more than a thriller and can be quite terrifying. If you're looking for something new that you've never quite seen before, this is one to watch. Not too mention, Patrick Stewart creates a character that's unforgettable in modern cinema. A classic all it's own.
