Best horror of 2013

[Elvis_Christ]

The year is getting close to finishing up and I've been feeling a bit jaded on modern horror so I started this thread to hopefully find out about some gems I've missed out on so far this year. Post some of the flicks that have impressed you this year...

Dunno about best but I liked:

Maniac
A Field in England
ABC of Death (for the most part)
Th Conjuring
Stoker (dunno if i would call it horror though)

Evil Dead was okish

The worst (that i saw in the theatre) was TCM 3D..

Stoker was awesome. Got The Conjuring sitting here been putting off checking it out but will give it a shot along with the others I haven't seen.

Haven't seen the others Ferox has mentioned yet, but The Conjuring is indeed the best I've seen so far this year. But we still have a month and a half to go!

[The Villain]

Conjuring
Insidious 2
Dark Skies
Mama

Evil Dead and Carrie were ok

[Kandarian Demon]

"The Conjuring" gets my vote too.

I think 2013 has been a bit of a weak year, in my personal opinion.

I hate to admit this, but I don't think I've seen any 2013 horror films. :eek:

(some of these may have been 2012 but they were only released here this year):

I really liked Byzantium - but I think I am in the minority.
The Purge was predictably disappointing - as was World War Z.
Lords of Salem was (sadly) very weak.
I Spit on your Grave 2 was silly but entertaining.
Missed You're Next - it ran for only a week here.
Curse of Chucky was pretty good fun. Weak ending though.
American Mary was worth checking out.
Frankensteins Army was of course a letdown after the whole long drawn out making but it still had some redeeming features.

Hate Crime is the worse film of 2013 I have seen, by far.

Good topic - Was just recently thinking about this myself...

The Awesome

• Stoker - Hands down brilliant
• You're Next - Thoroughly enjoyed this one but need to see it again; had a distracting audience experience
• The World's End - Loved it

The OK

• The Conjuring - Didn't love this as much as everyone else seems to
• American Mary - I was hoping that it would push the envelop more than it did. Ending was a HUGE disappointment especially
• Evil Dead - Enjoyed this one; thought the gore was especially great
• Dark Skies - Not bad. I can see why people liked this one.

The Bad

• Mama - Hugely disappointing, especially the awful terrible gag-worthy end
• The Purge - Too bad; really liked the concept. Could have said a lot of interesting things about socioeconomic divides.
• World War Z - Bleah.
• Warm Bodies - Rob Cordray was the best part of this movie. The rest I found pretty Meh.

Haven't Seen

• Byzantium - Pretty psyched to see this actually
• Lords of Salem - I know it's getting terrible feedback but I am still unavoidably curious
• Insidious 2 - While I thought that the first movie was uneven and weak toward the end, there was enough that I did like about it (or at least I found interesting) that makes me want to see this
• Maniac - Not sure if it's my sub-genre, but I am very curious about this one
• Escape from Tomorrow - Really intrigued by this one

I haven't seen many this year.

Texas Chainsaw 3D - If I completely ignore all the other sequels and a few small plot holes relating to the original and watch it as a totally separate entity, then I actually think it's pretty enjoyable.

World War Z - I thought it was really pretty enjoyable. The almost continuous action kept it pretty tense and never really gave you much of a chance to relax.

Evil Dead - Some things were ok, but overall it didn't do much for me.

Curse Of Chucky - A bit convoluted in spots but actually pretty enjoyable if you are a fan of the franchise.

The Lords Of Salem - My biggest regret of 2013 was watching this piece of crap. I would like that 90 minutes of my life back.
