The 10 Scariest Movies of 2025, Ranked
1 week ago - A creepy story with an intriguing premise, Weapons is the scariest film of the year. Much like director Zach Cregger’s debut film Barbarian, humor is used to misdirect our attention before hitting us with a surprise punch running at full speed. It helps that it has one of the best horror creations in recent years, with Amy Madigan's career-best, scene-stealing turn as the mysterious Aunt Gladys.

The best horror movies of 2025 (so far)
October 14, 2025 - A horror-thriller in the mold of Wolf Creek – only a lot, lot more fun – this tongue-in-cheek Aussie monster movie is a sunlit slasher where sharks are the instrument of death, but Jai Courtney’s gurning bogan, Tucker, is the real monster. The Suicide Squad actor is a blast as a shark dive owner who welcomes unsuspecting travellers onto his old rust bucket, only to use them as snacks for the local fish life.

r/horror on Reddit: Top 5 horror films of 2025 so far
May 26, 2025 -

We are getting close to the halfway point of 2025 with about a little over month to it so what is everyone's top 5 so far for 2025. Think it is a pretty descent time as there is still not a enough really great movies to make for 1 or 2 interesting choices in it. Right now for me in no particular order it is:

Ash, Companion, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Locked, and The Ugly Stepsister

The Best Horror Movies of 2025 According to Our Horror Expert
1 week ago - Del Toro corrected that with Frankenstein, showcasing the pain and grief of a creature doomed to survive yet never asking to be created in the first place, witnessing firsthand the highs and lows of the human condition. On top of the power of these themes, the production design and cinematography continue del Toro's reputation as an expansive storyteller, pulling off the impossible by breathing fresh life into a story only few would dare to adapt.
