great horror films, especially for Stephen King. So, here are my top ten best
horror films for this year….Enjoy.
1. Get Out
Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her
parent's for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly
accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's
interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of
increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could
have imagined.
2. IT
From the mind of Stephen King….In the Town of Derry,
the local kids are disappearing one by one, leaving behind bloody remains. In a
place known as 'The Barrens', a group of seven kids are united by their
horrifying and strange encounters with an evil clown and their determination to
kill IT..
3. Annabelle Creation

Esther's room would be off limits for the girls. The crippled girl Janice sneaks

Bee's room?
4. Happy Death Day

that this is her final one. That is, if she can figure out who her killer is.
She must relive that day, over and over again, dying in a different way each
time. Can she solve her own murder?
5. Alien Covenant
Almost eleven years after the futile and disastrous expedition
on the distant moon LV-223, the deep-space colonisation vessel Covenant
equipped with more than 2,000 colonists in cryogenic hibernation, sets a course
for the remote planet Origae-6 with the intention to build a new world.
Instead, a rogue transmission will entice the crew to a nearby habitable small
planet which resembles The Earth. The unsuspecting members of Covenant will
have to cope with biological foes, beyond human comprehension. Ultimately, what
was intended as a peaceful exploratory mission, will soon turn into a desperate
rescue operation deep into the cold infinite space.
6. Gerald’s Game
From the mind of Stephen King….When a harmless game between
a married couple in a remote retreat suddenly becomes a harrowing fight for
survival, wife Jessie must confront long-buried demons within her own mind -
and possibly lurking in the shadows of her seemingly empty house.
7. Leatherface
A violent teen and three others kidnap a young nurse while
escaping from a Texas mental institution. Pursued by a vengeful sheriff, the
disturbed young man embarks on a murderous rampage that shapes him into a
legendary killer known as Leatherface.
8. 1922
Featuring shades of Edgar Allen Poe's, "A Tale-Tell
Heart", 1922, based on the Stephen King novella of the same name, centers
on simple but proud farmer, Wilfred James, who, with his young son, murders his
wife to gain ownership of her inherited land. Shortly after, however, strange
and supernatural occurrences begin to plague both James and his farm. Is it
just simple bad luck, or is it the work of something much more sinister?
9. Houses October Built 2

Heading back out on the road to visit more haunted house attractions, signs of the Blue Skeleton start appearing again and a new terror begins.
10. The Monster Project
When aspiring horror filmmakers post an online casting call
looking for "real life" monsters to interview for their upcoming
documentary called, The Monster Project, they find three individuals claiming
to be a skin-walker, a vampire, and a demon. Meeting these monsters at a remote
mansion in the woods on the night of a total lunar eclipse, the filmmakers
invite the three subjects to share their haunting, personal experiences.
Working on the crew is a recovering drug addict who suffers withdrawal and paranoia.
As a person of faith, he fears his friends underestimate the dark powers they
are summoning. When the interviews turn deadly, he must battle the demons,
inside and out, to escape the house and defeat the rise of evil incarnate.
So, there you have it. You might disagree with some of my
choice, but that is your opinion and opinions are like backsides, we all have
them. I just happened to write mine down and share it with you. Nothing wrong
with that…
