- '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.
- 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.
