J.P.'s Top 13 Horror Films of 2016: The Honorable Mentions

It's that time of year folks! When we look back at last years best horror films and leave you with a list of fantastic films you can't ignore! This year is full expected favorites you've probably heard of and as usual, we always we want to surprise you with things you need to see!

Sequels will not make this list although James Wan can still do no wrong with Conjuring 2; Ouija: Origin of Evil was a far superior idea than its predecessor; The Purge: Election Year gave us the perfect close to a franchise; 10 Cloverfield Lane was part Black Snake Moan and War of the Worlds; Underworld: Blood Wars (coming January 6, 2017) is hopefully the end of a tiring storyline, same for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (coming January 27, 2017); and finally Amityville: The Awakening, Phantasm Ravager, and Dead Rising: Endgame are all worthy franchise additions. No remakes will make this list either, especially since Cabin Fever was a shot for shot, line for line, un-neccessary un-re-imagining of a Roth classic.

Speaking of Roth, Clown didn't make this list either, mostly because I added it last year when we thought it was going to be released, although there will eventually be clowns mentioned. I'm pretty sure I cannot do a list without an evil clown included. Zombies will likely dominate this list as will foreign films and independents that are both eclectic, fresh, and cerebral to help rejuvenate the horror genre. With all that said lets get to J.P.'s Top 13 Horror Films of 2016!

First the Honorable Mentions...

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (UK)

Five sisters in 19th century England must cope with the pressures to marry while protecting themselves from a growing population of zombies.

Director: Burr Steers; Writers: Burr Steers (screenplay), Jane Austen (Quirk Books novel); Stars: Lily James, Sam Riley, Jack Huston

Jane Austen's classic novel about finding arranged love in the time of war gets the monster parody treatment that is totally worth the watch. Not your average chick flick. The title says it all!

Yoga Hosers (Can)

Two teenage yoga enthusiasts team up with a legendary man-hunter to battle with an ancient evil presence that is threatening their major party plans.

Director/Writer: Kevin Smith; Stars: Lily-Rose Depp, Harley Quinn Smith, Johnny Depp

Kevin Smith pimps out his and Depps daughter for what feels like clerks with chicks and throws in an evil Nazi plot. There can be nothing more glorious in all humanity! Lots of Smith callbacks including Mewes in a  cop uniform, and lots of overdone Canadian accents. I knoo, soory boot that (not really). Kevin also takes sausage party to another level, as you would expect.
