In The Clovehitch Killer, director Duncan Skiles replicates this bait-and-switch through cinematographer Luke McCoubrey’s camera. Life in small-town Christian America can have a stultifying effect on a person, sucking out all personality and vitality, replacing all individual identity with better living through dogma. Here are the 15 best horror movies of 2018. The best horror movies of 2018 both stoked our fears and satiated our futile lusts, both screamed into the endless void and wept into the uncaring future. (Even the Online Metropolis of Ralph Breaks the Internet bears the manifestation of a terrifying edifice.)Īnd yet, as much as our writers squabbled over specific picks, we could all agree on the essence of these films: that we are on the brink of apocalypse that we all seem to hate each other that being “extremely online” will kill us all.
Talk about it too much nowadays, and everything sort of seems like horror. It’s been, in other words, an odd year for the horror movie, at the mercy of as many thinkpieces about “what” horror “is” as what it isn’t, with services like Netflix and Shudder expanding their qualifications into broader genre considerations while allowing directors to push at the borders of their pulpier sensibilities. When ranking the best horror of the year, 2018, perhaps more than any other 12-month period, provided the most chances for complete disagreement amongst our staff.
