At The Movies: December Brings List Of Best Horror Thus Far For 2020
A lot of this year’s best horror has been coming out in unexpected places. With movie theaters either shuttered or showing a severely limited slate due to the pandemic, many of the year’s best horror pictures have been released on VOD or have gone straight to streaming services like Netflix, Shudder, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Fortunately, no matter how you watch your movies, there’s bound to be something on this list that will keep you sleeping with the lights on for at least a few nights. . .
So begins “15 Best Horror Movies of 2020,” by Orrin Grey on THE-LINE-UP[DOT]COM and, one usually waiting a year for prices to go down for the DVD, I’ll have to confess I haven’t seen any of these titles yet. I do have two immediately marked to check about, though, EXTRA ORDINARY (number 15 and a British ghostly quirky comedy, according to Grey, one I’d find welcome in a year where a bit of humor has seemed extra special) and, one I’d heard about and have been waiting for, COLOR OUT OF SPACE (number 13). This latter is one of three adapted from stories, the others being THE INVISIBLE MAN (3) and GRETEL & HANSEL (12). And another is from, at least, a kind of urban (and maybe not so urban either) legend LA LLORONA(9).
That leaves ten to go, including such themes as sea stories (UNDERWATER at number 1 and SEA FEVER, 7) and the occult (HOST, 4), one anthology movie (THE MORTUARY COLLECTION, 10), you get the idea, most from the US but with at least one Korean as well as the British one cited above. And a lot that can be streamed, as noted above, for enjoyment right now!
To find out which, as well as the remaining six on the list, one is invited to press here.
