- 'Barbarian' (2022) With a story that begins one way, shifts dramatically into something else after the first act, and then does another dramatic shift later on, Barbarian feels like the kind of movie where the less that's described plot-wise, the better.
- 'Pearl' (2022) Though Pearl is a prequel to another Ti West-directed and Mia Goth-starring 2022 horror movie, it's able to be enjoyed with or without that context.
- 'Crimes of the Future' (2022) The title for Crimes of the Future is particularly accurate, as it does indeed take place in the future, and narratively, it unfolds a bit like a film noir/old crime movie, too.
- 'Talk to Me' (2022) Talk to Me is another modern horror movie that understands how grief and trauma can be just as scary - or perhaps even scarier - than anything supernatural.
- After Midnight
- Sputnik
- Swallow
- Blood Quantum

Elisabeth Moss' performance in Leigh Whannell's remake of The Invisible Manwowed critics and audiences at the beginning of the year, and it remains one of the best horror movies of 2020.

- Relic. There’s something specifically horrific about watching the slow fade of people we love. Natalie Erika James, in her feature debut, examines this unique form of grief.
- Possessor. The name “Cronenberg” carries certain expectations. And Possessor more than lives up to expectations. This time it’s Brandon Cronenberg, son of David, with a science-fiction horror story you won’t soon forget.
- The Invisible Man. H.G. Wells’ classic horror story The Invisible Man was rebooted to perfection early on this year. Elisabeth Moss plays Cecilia, who in the tense opening sequence escapes the clutches of her abusive, wealthy boyfriend Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen).
- Freaky. Christopher Landon proved his horror chops with the wonderful Happy Death Day films. This year, he returned with another exciting, joyful horror romp: Freaky, a spin on Friday the 13th and Freaky Friday.
Watched 60 horror movies from 2020 so far and I don't think it was a bad year at all. Of the 60 movies, 38 got 3/5 stars or higher, and I'm not afraid to give movies 1 star. There were plenty of excellent films that didn't crack this 25, I can guarantee it.
