1. Hereditary
This by far gave me all the wants I need in a horror film, I think my mouth was dropped open in shock for most of it, Toni Collette better get a oscar nomination for this role. Just eerie in all departments here. You have to see this movie alone in the dark! This years Exorcist for me. Shocking creepy good!
2. The Ritual
Netflix best horror original of 2018 was early in the year and its a great visual horror with the buddy factor going on. This film is creepy good.
3. Revenge
This kick ass final girl horror film of the year. Loved this movie and female lead. I can’t wait to see more of her in the years to come.

This is the action horror that gets me all excited like the Raid films.

On the edge of your seat action pack horror film with some kick ass imagery and gore, a must see for any horror action fans out there.
6. A Quiet Place
Main Stream horror done right and great acting and monsters.
7. Veronica
The best foreign horror of 2018, this was some scary shit on Netflix! These Nuns were the scary ones this year.
8. Searching
I figured this would be one of those lets try a new age social media horror again, but it was done so good and the right way all the way up to the suspenseful ending!
9. Overlord
Was hoping for this horror movie to kick ass, and it did. Great cast and great horror moments, one of horror films to watch right now!
10. Halloween
I hoped for better but I got some happy camper horror moments in this long awaited Halloween film with Laurie and the Halloween family.
11. Summer of 84

12. Anna And The Apocalypse
Christmas, Gore, Horror Comedy, Dance Routines & Blood…sign me up.
13. What Keeps You Alive
Do you ever know who you fall in love with? LGBT horror film of 2018.

Hard to say this but one of the only Nicholas Cage performances and movies I would recommend. Loved this movie, okay already changed my mind, I didn’t like Nicholas Cage performance…bluh.
15. The Endless
What did I just watch Horror film this year.
16. Hell Fest
Slasher horror gold, a horror film in 2018 for every teenage out there.
17. The Meg
Go back to being a kid going to the movies to see Jaws, and this movie will scare the crap out of you and make you not wanna go in the water again.
18. The Haunting of Hill House
Okay not a movie but look at it as a 8 hour epic horror film, that you have to take some breaks to watch! It just so good I had to include it on my list.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
