It's that time of year again! The time when we all gather around the television to watch the latest horror movies. Some of us love them, and some of us hate them, but we can all agree that they're always a good way to get into the Halloween spirit.
This year, there have been some great horror movies released. Some of us have been scared out of our wits, while others have been left disappointed. But which ones are the best and worst of the bunch?
How to choose a horror to watch
With so many different horror movies coming out each year, it can be hard to know which ones are worth watching. Here are a few tips on how to choose a horror movie that you'll actually enjoy:
1. Check the reviews.
Before you spend your hard-earned money on a movie ticket, do some research and check the reviews. Look for reliable sources like Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb, and see what professional critics and everyday moviegoers are saying about the film.
2. Consider your personal preferences.
Not everyone enjoys the same type of horror movie. Some people like jump scares and gore, while others prefer a more psychological approach. Think about what you usually like in a horror movie, and use that as a guide when choosing which one to watch.
3. Don't get too caught up in the hype.
Just because everyone is talking about a certain horror movie doesn't mean it's going to be good. In fact, sometimes the most hyped-up movies turn out to be the biggest disappointments. Again, make sure to read the reviews before you see a heavily advertised film.
4. Give something new a chance.
If you're feeling adventurous, why not try something outside of your comfort zone? You might be surprised by how much you enjoy a different type of horror movie than what you're used to.
5. Wait until it's available for rent or streaming online.
Let's face it: not every horror movie is worth seeing in theaters. If you're not sure about a particular film, wait until it's available for rent or streaming online before watching it. That way, you won't waste your money if it turns out to be terrible.
So, what were the best and worst horror movies of the year 2022? Read our movie reviews examples.
The best horror movie of the year 2022
The best horror movie of the year was undoubtedly 'Get Out'. Directed by Jordan Peele, 'Get Out' was a masterclass in suspense and terror, with a social commentary that was both timely and relevant. The film follows Chris (played by Daniel Kaluuya), a young black man who is invited to visit his white girlfriend's family home. While initially apprehensive, Chris decides to go ahead with the trip - but soon discovers that all is not as it seems.
'Get Out' was praised for its clever writing, directing, and acting, with many calling it one of the best horror movies in recent memory. It was a commercial and critical success, grossing over $250 million at the worldwide box office and winning numerous awards, including an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The worst horrors of 2022
"Slender Man"
This long-awaited adaptation of the popular creepypasta was one of the most highly anticipated horror movies of 2018. Unfortunately, it was a major letdown. "Slender Man" is a boring and flat attempt at bringing the legend to life on the big screen. The titular character is barely in the movie and when he is, he does nothing but stand around and look creepy. The film is also plagued by cheap-looking CGI and poor acting.
"The Purge: The Island"
The first "Purge" movie was an interesting take on the home invasion genre with a unique premise: for one night every year, all crime is legal. The sequel upped the ante by moving the action to an island where people could purge in peace without worrying about innocent bystanders being caught in the crossfire. However, "The Island" completely misses the mark. It's a convoluted mess that lacks the tension and suspense of its predecessor. Plus, it's just not very fun to watch people kill each other for two hours straight.
"Saw: Legacy"
The "Saw" franchise has been dead for years, but that didn't stop Lionsgate from resurrecting it with this ill-advised sequel. "Saw: Legacy" brings back none of what made the original series so
great while simultaneously feeling like a tired rehash of old ideas. The traps are uninspired and lack any real sense of creativity or invention. This is one franchise that should have stayed dead and buried.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to horror movies, there are always going to be some duds. However, by following the tips in the previous section, you can avoid choosing a bad movie and instead find one that you'll love. There's nothing quite like being scared out of your wits by a great horror film, so make sure to put some thought into your selection, and you're sure to have a good time.
