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 2017 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 2017! (based on release dates and not the years they were filmed.... although some may be in the last quarter of 2016.)
2) 'Here Alone'
Once again, a film I knew nothing about that popped up our of nowhere and surprised the hell out of me. Also, another zombie film that took the old tropes and made them new. In reality, there isn't a lot of the mythos that changes for this one and the premise is very well worn territory. I'm not even sure I can place my finger on exactly what it is about this film that makes it so memorable, but it leave you feeling breathless. It's got all the ear marks of good film making, complete with a great script and a stellar cast. There isn't anything bad I can say about this one. It starts strong and finishes strong. It's why I do what I do here. Films like this don't come along every day and when you find them, you have to share them with the world. This is a prime example of that.
