I watched it on Netflix in either 2018 or very early 2019, but it may have been a few years old at that time. I'm guessing it wasn't a Netflix original because I can't find it on there but I might just be overlooking it. Edit: It was an American movie (or possibly Canadian, I guess).

It began with a flashback of man at a farmhouse murdering his family then went forward to present day. There were several young women babysitting one little girl and I guess they were treating it like a slumber party. I don't remember how the two time frames connected but I think the trauma of the event in the past created / attracted some kind of evil entity which started haunting the house and killing the women. It centered mainly around one of them and the little girl trying to fight the entity.

I keep thinking it was called "The (something)" but I could be wrong. I thought it was The Guilt, The Guilty, or something similar but I can't find it under either of those titles. I don't think it was that great of a movie but kinda a fun watch. It's mainly just bugging me that I can't remember what it was called. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Discussion

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?
