Horror Fanatics: Top Upcoming 2018 Horror Films

I think Slender Man looks pretty terrible, personally. Plus they're about 10 years late in cashing in on the name recognition. I guess it might do well enough, but it looks very cheap and poorly made. Nothing interesting about that trailer at all.

Winchester has Hellen Mirren, and a sort of political point of view I guess, but it looked pretty stupid and the reviews are really bad... Like REALLY bad. And that includes horror fans, not just the mainstream critics that horror fans like to dismiss.

I've had about 3 or 4 too many Insidious movies already come my way, so I will pass there.

Truth or Dare looks absolutely atrocious. I couldn't imagine it being anywhere near decent if the selling points are as presented in the trailer. They are pushing the extremely terrible looking CGI effect of a stupid looking overly wide grin that looks like a horribly animated version and intentionally worse version of the Joker makeup from 1989. It's as if you were making a trailer as a parody for a bad modern horror movie trailer.

The Open House is on Netflix now. It's not terrible, but it's also not any good. It's generic and oddly unfulfilling at the same time. Bland and completely forgettable.

I was never much of a fan of The Strangers to begin with, so I don't care much for the way-too-late sequel, but I will give it a chance. It does appear to at least have some style and skill behind it as opposed to most of these other titles.

Mom and Dad sounds rather insane if a bit obvious, but I'm at least a little intrigued. It seems to be going for laughs, which is good, since Nicolas Cage is impossible to take seriously.

A Quiet Place has a chance at being decent. The ad campaign so far wisely reveals almost nothing.

Annihilation is the only one on the list that genuinely excites or interests me. I admired Ex-Machina quite a bit, so I am certainly interested in what Alex Garland is up to now.

The New Mutants seems to take a novel approach to that material. X-Men universe as a horror movie is new and could be interesting. I'll check it out.

If Day of the Dead is anything but a lame rehash of something we've seen a zillion times, I'll be shocked.



I missed the last one, but I'll take a look at Victor Crowley when it's available.

I try to be, as long as it's not an Eagles victory parade......


I think there will be plenty of solid horror movies coming this year, but come on, do you think Truth or Dare has a fucking prayer in the world at non being a steaming pile of horse shit? I know as an Eagles fan you're inclined to gobble that up.... had to be done, my apologies...

I love horror movies, but it's undeniable that the majority of them are garbage, and especially those that are released by major studios have a tendency to be lame and generic.

The horror movies that we tend to talk about at the end of the year are often movies that don't make these lists of movies looking ahead to the year. Some of the stuff coming out of festivals now sound fun and interesting, and I'm sure there's other stuff that hasn't been on anyone's radar that will surprise audiences in following months.

Don't know if I made it to the 3rd in that series. Is that the one that opens as a Bruce Campbell movie but fakes you out and is something else completely? My memory is foggy on that.

I'm cool with just being entertained, but stuff like Truth or Dare or Insidious chapter 87 is about as boring as I could ever imagine.

Unless Truth or Dare is actually as terrible as it looks. Then it might pull off that magic trick of being so bad it's good. It's got that chance.


For the record, I did reluctantly congratulate you on your team's victory despite how much I hate them. My blanket can't be all that soggy.
