Best Horror Movies of 2017 - Thrillist
December 1, 2017 - Released: September 29 Cast: Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Henry Thomas Director: Mike Flanagan (Oculus) Why It’s Great: I’ve always believed that Gerald’s Game ranked among Stephen King’s most underrated novels, and I also figured the book was more or less “unadaptable.” So imagine my satisfaction when this movie turned out to be one of the year’s best genre films. Carla Gugino delivers some of her best work ever as a woman who has been handcuffed to a bed inside of an isolated cabin -- and you simply won’t believe the horrors this poor widow has to contend with. Where to watch it: Stream on Netflix (watch the trailer)

The 10 Best Horror Movies of 2017
With a solid cast (including Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds) and a truly horrifying premise that’s pulled off with style and affecting suspense, Life is the kind of unnerving science fiction horror film that another certain sci-fi horror film this year (Alien: Covenant) should have been but wasn’t. ... It’s rare when a sequel (which serves as a prequel) is actually an improvement on the original movie (which itself was a prequel to The Conjuring), but Annabelle: Creation managed to build upon the previous film and deliver a more finely tuned supernatural horror film in the process.

The Spooky Vegan: Top 10 Horror Movies of 2017
9.) Annabelle: Creation - The first Annabelle movie was so forgettable that I was really surprised how well done and spooky this one was, and I loved how they tied in other elements from The Conjuring universe into the film. Director David F. Sandberg is definitely one who knows how to build dread and create a good scare (as evident in his last horror film, Lights Out). 10.) I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore - This was one of my most-anticipated films of 2017, and it didn't let me down when I watched it on Netflix.

r/horror on Reddit: Our favorite horror movies of every year: 2017
September 6, 2024 -

Let's create a list of our favorite horror movies based on how good they are! Consider factors like rewatchability, story quality, and overall effectiveness. This list should focus on how well the movies hold up today, considering them at face value, not on their legacy or influence on the genre.

Here's how it works:

  1. Comment below with your nomination for your favorite horror movie of the year in the title. Do not comment duplicate movie titles. If your favorite movie has already been mentioned, simply upvote that comment instead. Note: Release dates will be based on when a film has its theatrical release (US), not whenever it premiered at festivals. So for example, the winner of 2023 was Talk to Me, which premiered in October 2022, but didn't get a wide release until July 2023. This list will use the latter date.

  2. Upvote the movie title(s) you agree with.

  3. The single comment with the most upvotes will be crowned the unanimous favorite for the current letter. If a movie title is posted multiple times, only the comment with the most upvotes will be counted. This prevents users from influencing the results by upvoting multiple comments for the same movie.

So let's have it, what're your favorite movies of the year in the title?

Past posts, winners & runners up:

  • 2023: Talk to Me

    • Runner up: When Evil Lurks

  • 2022: Barbarian

    • Runner up: Prey

  • 2021: The Night House

    • Runner up: Titane

  • 2020: The Dark and the Wicked

    • Runner up: Possessor

  • 2019: Midsommar

    • Runner up: The Lighthouse
