The best horror movies of 2022 so far chosen by the public

So far, a few months from the end of 2022, audiences have chosen which are the best horror movies released in theaters or streaming platforms so far this year. It is worth mentioning that films like “Barbarian” are not on the list, as they have reached only a very few countries, and others will be released in commercial theaters until the following year.

Grandmother

Probably one of the first sensations of 2022 was the horror film by Spanish director Paco Plaza with ‘La Abuela’. From the same person responsible for the excellent ‘Possession of Verónica’ and ‘REC’ comes this story that follows Susana, a girl who has to leave Paris to return to Madrid, as her grandmother had a stroke and now she has to take care of her, but as the days go by, things get more and more terrifying. Available on Amazon Prime Video.

The black phone

What for most of the lovers of the genre it will be the best horror movie of 2022, is ‘The black phone’, directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Ethan Hawke. The story is set in a small town where local children have started disappearing, while a strange killer in a terrifying mask is on the loose. Available on Amazon Prime Video.

Menu

The first position in the list that is occupied by A24, and with ‘Menu’, a horror film that took those who could already see it by surprise. In the rest of the year it will stop showing all over the world. The story is directed by Alex Garland and follows Harper, a girl who leaves the countryside after a tragedy, but when she arrives in the woods, a series of strange events begin to haunt her.

X

Subsequently, a title that has barely had success at several film festivals, but which can rival the bloodiest horror films of the year is “X”, another horror film produced by A24, directed by Ti West and starring MiaGoth. The story follows a group of directors trying to make an adults-only film, but the owners of the house they arrive in aren’t very friendly.

scream 5

The return of one of the most beloved and popular slasher sagas of the 90s, and which Wes Craven started, was ‘Scream 5’, a return to the classic formula of the saga, but this time with new faces like Jenna Ortega, Melissa Barrera , Mikey Madison and Jack Quaid, but with some already known like Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox to deliver. Available on Star +.

no

Finally, what took many by surprise, and which arrived without too many expectations, was’no’, one of the best horror movies of 2022, and one that is sure to be at the top of many lists at the end of the year. The story stars Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, who play two brothers who face a strange creature from another world. Still in theaters.
