what was your best and worst horror movies of the year??
Talk to me is on Netflix in the UK, if anyone wants to rewatch 💕
Thank you so much for speaking out against Spyglass, it's really cool to hear. What they did to Melissa Barrera is outrageous. My favorite horror movie of the year is a french one called Gueules Noires, I don't know if its going to get a US release but I highly recommend it! Incredible practical effects and really good premise. French genre cinema was very strong this year, Animal Kingdom, Vincent Doit Mourir and Vermines are really films to watch.
You didn't get to all of them because some movies cross your boundaries! Sorry but that sounds so silly to me
Thinking that Exoricst Believer is in anyway okay is beyond me.. That film was trash from start to end, it's dreadful. I think in reality, we will never get Horrors as good as The Omen, The original Exorcist and the 3rd on in the franchise. I basically think that this generation is dumber because everything is done for them. We know to much now so we have very limited imagination. People are running out of ideas so they have to revert back to other decades like Joker, Strange Things and Fear Street 94.
I mean the last briliant monster flick I've seen was Jeepers Creepers and the 2nd one as very good too. I thought the Conjuring was basically bordering on a bore-fest.
I'm going to keep watching to see what films you think are very well done.
Okay, to know that you think Scream 6 or whatever it's called is good tells me that none of your top 5 films are going to be my cup of tea. I think All the Scream films are absolute utter garbage along with The Blair Witch Project which I thought was a joke. I'm just going to have to accpet that it's going to be very hard for me to find a modern horror film that will impress me. Maybe I've seen it all already and they can't go any further with horror.

“This one fell really flat, and to be honest, I think it’s the children’s fault. Ironically, because there’s something wrong with the children… they’re not believable” LMAOOO 😂
yes!
Savage...I love it.
When I watched Saw X in the theater, I was actually alone, no one else in there, just me. It was incredible! I 1000% share the love you have for this movie :)
I watched saw x with my boyfriend i enjoyed the movie so much and i thought it was ironic that my boyfriend is Mexican and its in mexico. But i felt so bad because he HATES horror movies but I LOVE horror and it was my turn to pick a movie. He hid behind be in the movie theater ( he his his face behind my head)
I personally really enjoy movies like “Happy Death Day“ or “Freaky” but they have that thing where they don’t take themselves too seriously, and with “It’s a wonderful knife” I was so irritated because it was so serious (maybe except for Justin Long’s performance). And I agree that it was really bad. But I think it could’ve been so much more fun if they just went with another tone
I love Happy Death Day, so I was excited for Totally Killer and Wonderful Knife, but they were both a major disappointment.
I liked them at first but then was shocked it became a subgenre. I was good with just one.
@@ManiacalMangoes Horror comedies have been a thing since at least the 70s. They are great when done right but most of these new one just don't hit right.
I enjoy the horror/comedy genre in general and I like Happy Death Day, but then I was surprised when time travel “your day repeats like Groundhog Day” specifically became a subgenre rather than a single movie franchise.
I can't believe you didn't even mention WHEN EVIL LURKS!
This for me was by far the best horror movie I've seen in a loooong time.
Everything about this film was amazing.
The sound,the colour pallet, the dark hues.
The absolute gut wrenching of at least 2 things that happened that shocked me to my core.
I can't believe 😢this movie was so easily brushed off when it was probably greater than every other film mentioned. 😮
I made a video that I won’t be watching that movie and why!
@@PossessedbyHorrorfair enough!! i loved it but i told friends of mine not to watch it. its pretty intense.
That shit wrecked me and it took me about a week to recover from how disturbing it was. Definitely the best one this year. But I don't want to watch it again
I know, I think that Talk to Me was more disturbing to me and worse with that scene with the kid👀 when evil lurks didn’t stick with me as much, more enjoyable and I would probably rewatch it before I’d rewatch talk to me😭
@@PossessedbyHorror My hard-core vegan/animal champion friend saw the same review you must have seen that made her nervous about watching it. But we watched the movie together and it wasn't at all as bad as the review made it out to be.
100% agree on Saw X. Got back to the original premise and was really well done. I always love your ranking videos- I appreciate all the hard work you put into them!
2 movies I haven’t heard anybody talk about yet from 2023:
Dark Windows- A slow burn slasher/revenge movie with a nice twist and a very dark ending. Worth a watch.
Malicious- Heavily inspired by Funny Games. A rapid paced, fun movie with some intense scenes. Again, very dark themed movie.
👀👀 gonna have to look into malicious
The irony of the Eli Roth situation is that he’s outright doxxing people on his page, and Spyglass doesn’t seem to have a problem with his social media habits - yet Melissa was fired for simply standing up against genocide. Disgusting tbh.
My favorite horror movie this year was "When Evil Lurks". It received such good reviews, I went to see it in the theatre first. I then rewatched it on shudder and felt like I was watching it for the first time because I had missed so much of the movie from closing my eyes in the theatre. It is such a fresh take on horror it has become a classic "go to" movie for me. Thanks for the 2023 ranking, there are several movies you recommended I hadn't seen I will now check out.
When Evil Lurks not being part of this list from a horror channel is weird. Like it blew SAW X in terms of ranking. WEL should have been 1st.
I agree and I share the same feelings Sarah has about not wanting to watch kiddos die. I feel like I had to watch When Evil Lurks to kind of know if I could deal with that aspect.
I didn't realize that was one of Sarah's bottom lines with horror. There is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself wrote the man who cries at every King Kong remake and who had to take a survey amongst his friend's if he could handle the animal cruelty to Godzilla in the new Japanese film. @@mulletjunky
Yeah, best horror movie of the year hands down.
@@kayenicolle Sarah said she didn't watch When Evil Lurks and she doesn't plan to anytime soon because of the trigger warnings. Honestly, I don't blame her. That movie is depressing af.
I love seeing difference of opinions between us! Personally I thought knock at the cabin was boring and they could have done so much more with it! But I am happy some people enjoyed it like you
Sometimes I get interested in movies she disliked. I added It's a Wonderful Knife on my to-be-watched list after she said it's like Final Girls and Happy Death Day
I agree to me Knock at the cabin and Skinamarink were the most boring movies of the year I couldn't keep my eyes open..
I don't agree with a lot of her reviews, horror movies are very subjective that way. I loved Renfield, Megan, and No One Will Save You. Haven't seen Missing yet but I really liked Searching. I mostly watch these videos to see what movies I may have missed, like I had never heard of It's a Wonderful Knife, but it looks fun
@@ic5319 Exactly same, I don't agree with her lot of times but I like that she speaks about movies that I haven't even heard about.
Skinamarink made me feel like a little kid sneaking downstairs to watch horror movies in the middle of the night because I wasn't allowed for the first time in at least 20 years. It scared me so much and in the best, most unexpected and original way. It may not reach the technical quality of the others, but that feeling made it blow past the competition.
If you liked Skinamarink a TH-camr called Flawed Peacock did an amazing breakdown of the film. He filled in so many gaps that for me his analysis is simply canon in my head. To me his reading is the correct reading and nothing will change my mind.
I'm so proud of the directors behind Talk To Me, the RackaRacka boys, Aussie icons over here. My first memories of them were their Ronald McDonald horror comedy skits back when I was in high school, and seeing them with an acclaimed horror, for A24 no less, brings a tear to the eye. This reminds me of when James Wan and Leigh Whannell first made Saw. 2 Aussie boys with an idea and now look at them.
I can't wait to see what the Philippou's do next!
Holy shit I remember those videos.
Yeah it's my number 7 best horror movie of 2022 in a stacked year for horror
@aaronrumph3291 the fact 2 mostly unknown dudes from Australia make a movie that makes anyone's top 10 is inspiring 🙌
@baaron7 that is the beauty of horror its so easy for indie movies to be one of the best horrors of the year
Your channel should be called AnnoyedByHorror 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i am pretty annoyed by horror too lately lol.
😊
I loved Talk to Me & Thanksgiving, very gruesome. I love the originality of the films. At least for me, I can say they weren't movies I've seen 10x over. 🎬 🎞
Talk to me surprised me. But I was captivated by it and it kept my attention wondering what gonna happen next. I love that there wasn’t any cheap jump scares. Hate that
Agreed!!!
Yeah the FNAF movie had to walk a very fine line of catering to existing video game fans but still being accessible to people going into the movie blind. I think it did a pretty good job and I LOVE how much practical effects and costumes/suits were real versus CGI. I really hope we get some more movies out of the franchise because you can really feel the passion and love that was put into it. More importantly, I hope between FNAF and the Barbie movie that studios will realize that audiences actually like being able to see what is happening in movies and enjoy colors outside of dim to dark
Fr, I think that this movie was more for like, the fans, because going blind you wouldn't enjoy the little details like Balloon Boy, or it would seem stupid the animatronics possessed by children, but I think they did an incredible job with balancing it
I saw several really good horror movies this year. When Evil Lurks was one of the best.
Agree with your opinion on M3gan. Before watching it, I remember seeing people say that the kid was a brat. I watched it and didn't understand why people said that, she watched both of her parents die in a car crash. Did you expect her to act like everything was all sunshine and rainbows?
This year I've started EMDR (trauma therapy) which means I haven't really been able to watch much horror, it's just been too much for me. I've loved your videos, especially this one, for keeping up to date and feeling a bit more like myself still, without all the mental stress!
Possessedbyhorror: i didnt get to see them all.
Me: oh that’s fine! What did you only get to see like 12 or something?
Possessedbyhorror: I did get to see 32.
Me: -blinks as I stare at my hands- how many horror movies came out holy moly
Very much appreciate your stance on Eli Roth and Melissa Barrera 🍉 didnt think I could be any more of a fan of yours but here we are ❤️
If you watched Pet Cemetery and Evil dead you can definitely watch When Evil Lurks. It is not A Serbian film or Cannibal Holocaust. You are missing out on a really good movie
Influencer and Birth/Rebirth were my favorite releases from Shudder this year. Loved the twists and turns in Influencer and Birth/Rebirth was a great take on a Frankenstein-style tale. Thanksgiving and Totally Killer were my favorite slashers 🪓🔪. And my favorite horror film from 2023 isn’t technically a horror film; it’s a creature feature but the scenes with the creature were thrilling and terrifying… and that’s Godzilla Minus One 🦖
godzilla minus one was the closest thing this year to a masterpiece!! i feel like it could be categorized in any genre, but the monster and horror scenes were incredibly done.
Did you see Beau is Afraid? What did you think? I saw it in the cinema when it came out and i haven't been able to make my mind up on whether i like it or not 😅
watch it again, it's not a one watch kind of movie really
sorta disagree with missing. i dont think it was the best movie of the year but the acting was still good and i personally was hooked by the story
I don't mind the comedy horror movies...Happy Death Day, Renfield, etc, but It's a Wonderful Knife was by far the worst of this genre I've seen. If not for Justin Long it would have been unwatchable.
FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Movie Is One Of My Favorite Movie Of 2023 From Last Year And I Loved It
When Evil lurks was the best of the year, no contest.
Infinity pool was hands down my favorite movie this year! I hated the Nun 2. Unpopular opinion I loved the Nun 😂
Can I ask why?
I thought it was ridiculous and boring
I loved it too!! I prefer Possessor but Brandon Cronenberg keeps nailing it for me.
Surprised some one else actually prefered the original nun lol. Something about the setting just hit better
omg I have the same opinion on the Nun. The second one felt cheesy and not nearly as effectively atmospheric.
Absolutely loved Infinity Pool as well, one of my tops this year, it really stuck with me.
I was waiting for this since the 2022`s recap So excited for 2024!
I think covid is why every new movie feels like they go on vacation or some kind of getaway. Leaving the house is scary
Knock at the Cabin was one of the worst for me this year. I wanted to like it so badly, but I was disappointed. I love the book and I feel like Shyamalan didn't do it justice.
M. Night Shyamalan movies are usually mid to terrible. I was genuinely shocked when she said she loves his movies and there's only one she didn't like. Six Sense (obviously amazing), signs was good with a TERRIBLE weakness given to the Aliens, why would they land on a mostly water world then? Slit was good however the 1st movie Glass was a good idea but only a ok movie for me. Everything else was just bad with dumb unsessery twists. He always wants to say something with his films it seems but honestly just isn't talented enough. It seems like he blew all his magic out the gate and nows he's just chasing that Dragon.
Can you please review Lake Mungo (2008)? It's very controversial and I'm curious how you'd rate it ! Some people say it's the scariest movie they ever saw, others say they don't even consider it as horror.
Personally, I think it's one of my top horror movies of all time, right after Pulse 2001 (the Japanese one).
I totally agree with Lake Mungo. Fantastic movie!! It was a real gut punch for me and plays out in a completely original and multi layered way. I'd definitely place it in my top 3. The final act is strangely difficult to watch and definite nightmare fuel so I'd certainly place it in the horror category!
Thank you for acknowledging the whole Marissa Barrera situation. I'm glad people are spreading the awareness of such BS! ❤
No big loss. she is annoying snd her character is so unlikeable. hate the fact she got fired for her opinion. that’s dumb but she’s not a good actress. the new scream films are so bad
Last Voyage scratched all the right parts of my brain, I really enjoyed it. Great list, as always!
Yeah I really liked it too. Was very surprised to see she ranked it so low
I also loved it, but I’m also a huge lover of the Dracula book so I really fangirled over this movie being made from that one chapter of the book! 🖤
Please give When Evil Lurks a chance, it was a MOMENT
When Evil Lurks hands down was the Best.
Yo. I have been watching your videos for a while. Im super glad you took time to talk about the issues with spyglass entertainment and thankskilling! Thank you for that!
I just started watching and I too really appreciate this! I watch a lot of horror commentary channels and I immediately stop watching if they cover a spyglass movie without talking about what’s happening or in a “promotional” way.
skinamarink was easily my #1 this year, no movie has ever terrified me more
A very unique film, have it in my top 3.
Skinamarink was my favorite as well. Brought me back to my childhood when I was severely scared of the dark
WHEN EVIL LURKS #1
I thought When Evil Lurks is your #1 but got disappointed when it was Saw X, I like the movie but to me it was just meh probably at #8 Evil Dead Rise should be at top 3
I really liked Infinity Pool. I also liked Talk to Me and Thanksgiving. I enjoy your videos. Thanks!
I watch a lot of horror movies, almost one per day, and I also write tales. I'd like to recommend a 2023's Argentinian Movie, 'When Evil Lurks', which I suspect you would give five stars, or almost.
Would you like to mail?
As always she ate this video! 🔥
Imo I’m shocked When evil lurks isn’t on any part of this list have you not seen it yet if not you should.
I loved loved loved Saw X and I hope they go in that direction vs. spiral, would love to get more of Amanda’s back story too
Given the reviews and sales, I don’t see them going back to Spiral. I watched them all back to back this Halloween and that one can get thrown out lol doesn’t fit and wasn’t very scary.
Evil Dead rise is the best in the franchise, in my opinion. The creepy factor surpasses the other films. Supernatural horror usually doesnt scare me, but this movie was scary. The ending was mediocre, but so are 70% of horror movie endings. Its worth a watch.
Sad to see When Evil Lurks not make it here. I know you said you won't watch it but it deserves a place in the good or best movies category
She stated in her other video that she won't watch it.
@@nick-elodeon9919 wbk
@@nick-elodeon9919why?
I honestly really want to see skinamarink because if hiw its so obiviously inspired by the analog horror genere and from what i seen it really excuated it perfectly, id honestly love to see more horror films be inspired by analog horror cause its honestly one of my favorites
I loved Skinamarink, but just know going into it that it's more of an atmospheric experience and not like a typical movie with a narrative.
Surprised at your #1 given the styles and subgenres that came to the fore higher up your list but this is my first time watching your stuff, so I'm guessing you're a big fan of the franchise (not for me personally outside the first film).
I've dropped my 10 below (starred the ones not on your list) but also wanted to list a few others not on your list that I'd highly recommend - good video and appreciate your rationale for every choice.
My 10;
10) It Lives Inside*
09) Thanksgiving
08) The Last Voyage of the Demeter
07) Evil Dead: Rise
06) No One Will Save You
05) Dark Harvest*
04) Infinity Pool
03) Cobweb
02) Talk to Me
01) When Evil Lurks*****
Additional Recommendations;
- Little Bone Lodge (think it's called The Last Exit in the States)
- The Royal Hotel
- From Black
- Malum
- The Sacrifice Game
Cool list. Just wanted to give you a heads up that Sarah has stated in a previous video that she won't watch When Evil Lurks :)
I know this one is on your never-watch list, but man... When Evil Lurks takes the cake for me this year.
Why is this movie in a "never watch" list?
@@matiasbarrios7983 I think it's because it involves children + brutal violence
When Evil Lurks was getting 99% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, and you left it out?
1. Beau is Afraid
2. Infinity Pool
3. When Evil Lurks
4. Birth/Rebirth
5. Moon Garden
6. Skinamarink
7. Talk to Me
8. Malum
9. Run Rabbit Run
10. Saw X
In no particular order, several horror movies I thought were bad or even terrible:
Five Nights at Freddy’s (the best of the worst)
The Exorcist: Believer
The Boogeyman
Insidious: The Red Door
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
It’s a Wonderful Knife
The Nun II
you missed out "when evil lurks" and that movie was 6 stars at least :D
Saw x.....worst: a creature was stirring 😵💫
Oh and Totally Killer should have been called Totally Woke Insufferable Blond Girl. And has no place in any horror list
....no When Evil Lurks? Give it a shot ASAP
Thank you for bringing more respect to Skinamarink’s name!! I love that movie SO much, yet I completely understand why it’s so polarizing (it’s not a case of quality, it’s just about personal taste). I agree with everything you said about it and now I’m gonna check if you have a full review after I leave this comment lol.
I went into the movie completely blind and ended up being the only person in the theater. I think you can imagine how that went.
Damn Slotherhouse didn't even make it :/
I would like to add Nefarious as one of my top picks. I love movies with a lot of dialog. Sean Patrick Flannery did a great job at that duel role, and he stayed in character the whole way through. The movie did a great job of keeping me entertained while literally taking place in just one setting.
Scream 6 was terrible imo. Agree with most of the other movies I've seen.
I agree that last year was an absolutely killer year for horror. This year was a bit lame for movies in general.
I actually gave more 5 stars this year than last year. But in overall horror it’s definitely worse than last year
I loved When Evil Lurks, Cobweb and Thanksgiving. Hated M3GAN, Insidious 5 and Scream 6.
Thank you for Scream!
I feel like I am in the minority here.
I'm so tired of these horror comedies and Conjuring rip-offs. Last year there were such innovative horror movies like Barbarian, Pearl, Nope, The Menu (technically). In comparison, 2023 was a complete dud
Talk to me and the new HellHouse llc were great imo.
Agree, dud. Fell asleep watching most of these.
you didn't when evil lurks????
Imo: the fnaf movie wasn't too bad, but it wasn't exactly accurate especially with the characters. I don't know how interesting of a movie it would've been, but I think they should've started with fnaf 4 if they wanted the movies to be lore accurate. If that's not really what they were trying to do that's fine.
The best horror movie of the year is missing on this list: when evil lurks.
I guess I'm the only person on planet earth who liked the last voyage of the demeter 😂
I liked it too. Not amazing, but not bad. It was good to me
Did I miss her ranking of When Evil Lurks? Or did she not see it yet?
I made a video why I won’t watch that one
I think "The Pope's Exorcist" should be a 2 star really. It was so painfully generic and the demon voice was Ralph Ineson who played Finchy in uk's The Office. I just couldn't take it seriously. Talk to me was pretty good and Knock at the Cabin could have had a slightly different, vaguer open ending. It was a bit too by the numbers. Apart from that, I think your list is pretty spot on!
For me Infinity Pool its a really good and special movie with nice but secret message
What message? 🤔
Mess about life in generaly and perspecitve of what we really want in our lifes ...ye @@ana_voland
The message is EAT THE RICH
lol@@j.p.gonzalez9218
Searching is better, but I gave Missing 4 stars. I really liked it
Skinamarink 1 and Talk to Me 2 for me this year, though not seen Saw X because I haven't seen any Saws after the first three. But if Saw X it's a bit unlike a Saw movie than I'll give it a shot. Nice one for being honest about your views on Spyglass and Eli Roth. I concur
My 3 favorites were When Evil Lurks, Cobweb and Skinamarink
My 3 most hated were The Exorcist: Believer, Insidious 5 and M3GAN
What happened to "when evil lurks"
Peacing out after that Exorcist take lol.
When Evil Lurks was my fav for this year
My Top 12 Worst To Best Horror are: 12) Evil Dead Rises 11) Cabin At The Woods 10) There Something Wrong The Children 9) Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 8) Totally Killer 7) Talk To Me 6) Skinamarink 5) Voyage Of The Damned 4) Reinfield 3) Saw X 2) V/H/S 85 1) Cobweb
Yesss Sarah!!! Also happy 1 year to little fern 😍😍
My thoughts on this video in her words.."it was fine" 😆 good stuff i subbed
I really liked Renfield I think bc I saw it as only a comedy with I guess like a sprinkle of horror. I also watched it in dubbed in Spanish with my family since its our first language & I think maybe that made it funnier / more enjoyable.
Wait what. You’d rather have a dvd than a Bluray?
When Evil Lurks. Hello!!! 🥳
If you saw the original classic “It’s A Wonderful Life” you might get “Knife” a little better.
I didn’t like it too much, but I did enjoy Justin Long’s smarmy performance.
Infinity Pool was a great horror movie and I highly recommend it to anyone reading the comments
I was surprised Cobweb was 4! I expected it to be your #1 but I’m not surprised saw X is there. I actually have no 4.5 or 5 star horror movies this year (😳) but I think No One Will Save You was my favorite!
When evil lurks is the best horror movie of the year. It's not even on this list 🙄
Can you review Cobweb?
I kinda agree 2023 was pretty weak on the horror side. Most of the ones I really liked were only horror-adjacent at best. BEAU IS AFRAID I simply adored, even though that movie was so polarising. One that I haven’t seen anyone talk about is “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person”, which I saw at a festival, so maybe it’s not out yet? It’s a French-Canadian romantic vampire story and it’s soooo cosy.
I love analog horror so skinamarink is very scary, especially when i had an issue when I was a kid. I love found footage stuff like that because it seems more real than a movie that's just put together professionally. Knock at the cabin was disappointing since they changed the ending I found the book ending far more Superior and changes the way you think about things
I appreciate you saying you will not be supporting the 7th movie w/o Melissa & called out the unfair treatment! They absolutely shouldnt have fired her for being against a genocide and I’m so glad Jenna Ortega followed in solidarity.
That Saw X gargabe at the first place killed it.
Skinamarink is my movie of the year
I don't understand the hype of Sax X.
It was decent but I thought it was way over hyped.
Genuinely curious, why do you prefer DVD over Bluray? Blurays have much higher quality, and players are cheap now
Top 5:
1. Skinamarink
2 When Evil Lurks
3. Cobweb
4. Thanksgiving
5. No One Will Save You
Bottom 5:
1. Knock at the Cabin
2. Scream 6
3. Renfield
4. M3GAN
5. Insidious 5
Skinamarink was kinda boring
I’m noticing a lot of just unnecessary negative comments on your videos lately, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos Sarah! I get so excited when you post! It’s so fun as a horror fan to have someone share with you their love of horror, so thank you!!! 💞
I really appreciate this thank you I’ve been noticing it too 🥲
Talk To Me is my favourite horror movie this year. it was more tragic than scary but it's a great tragedy story
When Evil Lurks is #1 for me 2023
Hmmm...tried getting through Insidious: The Red Door based on the recommendation and the promise of many jump scares, but couldn't, because the movie was too boring. Why wasn't When Evil Lurks on the top of the list?
Huge overlook with "When Evil Lurks". I see lots of people saying the same thing, but it bears repeating - if you're a horro-phile and you missed this film. You missed the best horror film of the year.
