The Best Horror Movies of 2023
Comedy, psychological thriller, grieving, and other oddities: the year in horror
1. M3GAN
Legitimately funny and surprisingly dark, this is a story of grieving and motherhood gone wrong. Also, we have a new creepy doll in town.
2. Infinite Pool
Solid movie, with twists and turns that are both innerving and entertaining. It also has Mia Goth in it.
3. Talk to Me
This is a terrifying and dark story of possession. Great screenplay, great acting, all around well-made horror for the ages.
4. Attachment
A very unique possession movie with a little bit of romance (and its downside) and also an interesting plot twist. Attachment at its worst!
5. When Evil Lurks
Engaging, fully realized and creepy! This is a possession story in a larger scale, grounded in a specific and obscure lore.
6. No One Will Save You
A pretty ambitious movie that kind of pull it off. Alien invasion movie about forgiveness, grieving, trauma and all that good stuff.
7. Beau is Afraid
Dark comedy about emasculated man incapable of making real choices. I guess it’s about me. And I am also afraid.
8. Thanksgiving
A little slow at the beginning and the whodunit aspect is a bit meh. But it was overall stupid, great fun. We need well-made, silly old horror movies.
9. Perpetrator
A positively odd movie with loads of interesting ideas and imagery, and a body-horror quality.
10. Enys Men
An internalized folk horror, dreamy, otherworldly, atemporal. This feels like a relic from the 70s.
