"It's been another frighteningly good year for horror fans. Movie theaters still, by far, the best place to enjoy a proper fright night have been absolutely loaded with quality offerings essentially all year. They've come in all sorts of chainsaw-sharp shapes and sizes, from straight-up gorefests and slow-brewing supernatural thrillers to silly-scary sci-fi and disturbingly romantic body horror (if, indeed, there is such a thing). Some of these films were grand cinematic achievements, while others were breathtaking indie-success stories."
"Weapons It's as perfect a film from any genre as we've seen in 2025, a remarkably visionary piece that succeeds on so many levels and seems destined to be referred to as an all-time horror-movie classic for decades to come. Director Zach Cregger having already stormed the castle with the directorial-screenwriting debut of Barbarian in 2022 takes his game to an even higher level"
The year delivered a stacked slate of horror films across theaters and streaming, spanning gore, supernatural thrillers, sci-fi, and romantic-leaning body horror. Major studio releases and indie successes both stood out, and several sequels and prequels equaled or surpassed expectations. Thirteen standout horror films are highlighted and ranked for the Halloween season, with most titles available across multiple streaming services. The top film, Weapons, is presented as a remarkably visionary, genre-spanning epic by director Zach Cregger that interweaves multiple storylines about missing grade-school children and suggests all-time classic potential.
