Best Horror Movies of 2020, Ranked | Rotten Tomatoes
October 31, 2022 - The Invisible Man resurrected the Universal monster movie (and at the fraction of what the 2017 Mummy cost), while Color Out of Space was the best H.P. Lovecraft adaptation since Re-Animator. Sheltered in place, audiences turned to streaming, quickly raising quarantine-shot Host and Spain’s social class-dissecting The Platform into word-of-mouth hits. Streaming helped horror movies with diverse themes and origins get more attention than they would’ve during normal distribution times, like the Canadian First Nations zombie film Blood Quantum, the political La Llorona, Russia’s alien thriller Sputnik, and Sudanese refugee haunter His House.

December 20, 2020 - Release date: April 10 Cast: Connie Nielsen, Dougray Scott, Hermione Corfield Director: Neasa Hardiman Why it's good: An Irish fishing trawler becomes lost at sea, and to make matters worse, it seems that there's a freakish parasite hiding on board the ship. A strong cast, a smart screenplay, and a gloomy tone help sell this one as a solid weekend matinee. It's not exactly The Thing, but horror fans will appreciate it.

October 1, 2020 - Horse Girl is one of those creepy-dreamy-horror-sci-fi movies where the less you know about it going into the film, the better. We’ll tell you that it stars Alison Brie as a social outcast whose dreams start bugging her out and spinning her life out of control.

December 11, 2020 - You know you’ve made a particularly eerie chiller if folks on Twitter suggest it’s “kind of a documentary.” Such is the case with director Kurtis David Harder’s Spiral, centering on a gay couple (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and Ari Cohen) who move to suburbia inhabited by right-leaning homophobes both fascinated and perturbed by their existence. If that’s not horrifying enough, per white suburban horror movie standards, cryptic murder and quiet mayhem abound. Spiral is a surprising film that keeps the mystery on level 10 the entire time.

The Top 10 Best Horror Films Of 2020
January 1, 2021 - The Dark and the Wicked is a bleak, suspenseful supernatural horror film—indeed one of the scariest supernatural horror films of all time and certainly in the running for the scariest film of the year. Its simple story escalates in some incredible directions, and Marin Ireland’s performance as the daughter, Louise, is top notch.

October 26, 2020 - Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s “The Lodge” might not live up to the spine-tingling spookiness of their breakout “Goodnight, Mommy,” but this wintery tale of a woman (Riley Keough) who’s snowbound in a remote cabin with her fiancé’s kids is convincing proof that the Austrian filmmaking duo are experts of atmospheric horror. The first 10 minutes of “The Lodge” — in which Alicia Silverstone makes one hell of an impression as the children’s tortured mother — are an unforgettable masterclass in how to shiv a profound sense of dread into the stuff of daily life, and the rest of the movie is at its best whenever it lets the anxiety of its ambiance do the talking.

Joel's Top 10 Horror Movies of 2020... That Aren't Host - Horror DNA
January 13, 2021 - While the state of the cinema industry itself remains unclear and in a kind of flux (will we ever see A Quiet Place 2, or Nia DaCosta's Candyman?), the movies that were released were some of the best we've had in years. Some of them had been in the can well before 2020 struck, while others were conceptualised, filmed and released in the midst of it all. What they have in common... these are some of the most impressive horror films I've seen in years. And, stuck in my apartment for months on end, I saw a lot this year. And here are the top 10 that aren't Host.

What we said: “An amazing achievement considering that it was made during lockdown they hype surrounding Host is completely legitimate and it functions both as a time capsule for the real horrors of 2020 and a jump in the genre of found footage to fresh and truly frightening new ground.
