The 32 Best Horror Movies of 2019, Ranked – Scary New Movies to Watch | Rotten Tomatoes
October 31, 2022 - Happy Death Day 2U was the first 2019 horror movie to connect with critics, even if its Tomatometer score didn’t approach the original’s high mark. In fact, virtually all of this year’s sequels all fell around in the same area: You’ll see Annabelle Comes Home, It Chapter Two, and Zombieland Double Tap all clumped together in this guide.

The 10 best horror movies of 2019
January 28, 2025 - Though studded with body horror, gruesome gore, and much murder, this is a story about love — at least, according to the monster at its center. And that's where things get really interesting. With an unreliable narrator and a thoughtful exploration of rape culture, McConnell made a movie that's not only skin-crawlingly scary but rivetingly relevant to the MeToo era.

Best Horror Movies of 2019, Ranked: Scariest Movies to Watch from 2019 - Thrillist
January 17, 2020 - This new version seems content to plunk Hellboy and his eclectic mess of horror tropes into sort of a wise-assed Bond movie structure, and for the most part it works as amiably insane monster madness. Well, it did for me, anyway. Where to watch it: Rent on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, VOD · Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Release date: October 18 Cast: Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg Director: Ruben Fleischer (Venom) Why it's good: Yeah it's just more of the same, only 10 years later, but when you've got such a game cast, an amiable tone, not much plot to deal with, and a lot of colorful zombie carnage to offer, that's enough to warrant a mindlessly entertaining sequel.

The 10 best horror films of 2019
December 23, 2019 - Inexplicably shunned by cinemagoers, director Mike Flanagan’s movie is both a handsome sequel to Kubrick’s The Shining and very much own its own deliciously weird thing. Virginia Gardner, from last year’s Halloween, must save the world from monsters with the help of some mixtapes. At least that’s what we think is happening in this gorgeous, gnomic directorial debut from musician A.T. White. A fascinating examination of the African-American community’s complicated relationship with the horror genre, Horror Noire features a stellar, and engaging, lineup of contributors, including Rachel True (The Craft), Ken Foree (George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead), Keith David (The Thing, They Live), and Jordan Peele.

Josh Millican’s Top 10 Horror Movies of 2019
December 19, 2019 - The title of this movie is a lie; whether he’s imaginary, a symptom of psychosis, or something supernatural, Daniel is definitely real—and Daniel Isn’t Real is one of the best horror offerings of 2019. It’s a brilliant and thoughtful examination of mental illness and its stigmas, as well as a scorching indictment of toxic masculinity.

April 27, 2024 - Two films into his career, the Peele style is already cemented, as Get Out and Us mix high concepts, political protest, comedy, and traditional horror set pieces with a propulsive, meme-ready intensity. The central concept of Us, of subterranean people who indict the capitalist guilt of people who aren’t at the top of the food chain but merely go along with the status quo, was in the air this year and will probably continue to command filmmakers’ imaginations.

August 3, 2025 - If you’ve seen “The Wicker Man”, you’ll probably get a similar experience with “Midsommar,” but make no mistake: this 2019 entry is as unique as it is bright...literally. Just as we were waiting for Ari Aster’s follow-up, Robert Eggers’s latest film was also highly anticipated. Eggers is known for “The Witch,” which is often hailed as one of the best horror movies of the decade. “The Lighthouse” is arguably even better, and honestly, it will be hard for him to top this one.

January 3, 2020 - Depraved Indie horror king Larry Fessenden wrote and directed this modern take on the Frankenstein tale about a PTSD-suffering army medic named Henry who spends his days in his Brooklyn laboratory creating a “man” named Adam out of borrowed body parts (Adam…see what he did there?). This may be Fessesnden’s best film to date and also includes great makeup FX by Brian Spears and Peter Gerner who are up for a Fangoria Chainsaw Award for their work.

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?

Past winners:

  • 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

Best Horror Movies of 2019 — The Bloodlust
January 31, 2020 - The only film as clever as this one in 2019 was Parasite, & that’s the most lauded movie of the year. Not too shabby, One Cut of the Dead. This is maybe the best love letter to filmmaking to come out this decade, & yes, I’ve seen Hugo. Jordan Peele excels at so many things you almost want to hate him. How can someone be so good at both comedy & horror, AND have the ability to meld the two together so seamlessly?
