Best Horror Movies Of 2018 So Far (And More We’re Dying To See)

Best horror movies of 2018
Horror movies always see a revival period when things in the real world take a dark turn. And if we can be certain of one thing in Hollywood, it’s that horror’s making a huge comeback right now. Some of the best films in general over the last several years have fallen into the genre. And one of them (Get Out) even saw Oscar gold at this year’s Academy Awards. So horror isn’t just for Halloween season anymore. Because this year, all year is Halloween season. So here are the best horror movies of 2018 so far. And we’ll tell you which ones we’re looking forward to watching in the next eight months too.

Mom and Dad (January 19th)

The Premise: A mass hysteria of unknown origins causes parents to turn violently on their children.

Why You Need to See It: It’s basically a zombie movie, starring Nicolas Cage. And we all know that anything starring Nicolas Cage is worth watching, even if he spends a good five minutes screaming about bees in it.

Hellraiser: Judgment (February 3rd)

The Premise: Three detectives investigating a series of murders cross paths with the denizens of Hell.

Why You Need to See It: It’s unfortunate that Doug Bradley turned down the opportunity to reprise the role of Pinhead, but you shouldn’t assume this direct-to-video flick is going to be as dog shit awful as 2011’s Revelations.

Judgment features an entirely new faction of Hell called the Stygian Inquisition, which — unlike the sadomasochistic Cenobites — just deals in straight punishment.

Unsane (March 23rd)

The Premise: A woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution, where she becomes convinced her stalker has found her.

Why You Need to See It: Steven Soderbergh is more known for action than anything else, but what he has done, he’s always done well. Unsane is one of those films that’ll keep you wondering if the main character truly is crazy or just the unfortunate victim of neglecting to read the fine print.

The Endless (April 6th)

The Premise: Two brothers revisit the UFO death cult they fled from a decade earlier, only to discover an impossible truth.

Why You Need to See It: It’ll make you question everything you know about cults and extraterrestrials. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead have managed to craft a pretty mind-blowing story for only $1M, which is basically unheard of in Hollywood these days.
