2025 was another landmark year for the horror genre. While only one film, Sinners, was able to crack the top ten, 21 titles made it onto the top 100 movies of the year
It was a year of original titles – like Weapons, Heart Eyes and Death of a Unicorn – and a year of unnecessary sequels – as seen with 28 Years Later and Megan 2.0.
Whichever movies you enjoyed the most, all that matters is you got your ass in a theater and supported our favorite genre of cinema.
