2023 has proven to be an eclectic, weird, gory, and downright amazing year for horror. We watched Allison WIlliams take a break from being terrorized by Lena Dunham to be terrorized by a lifelike evil AI doll in M3GAN. Mia Goth returned to form as her usual maniacal character in Infinity Pool which premiered at Sundance. Streamers released surprising hits, most noticeably Shudder with Skinamarink which had everyone revisiting their childhood nightmares. Perhaps the most anticipated horror release this year, Scream VI, left Woodsboro, and Sidney Prescott behind for the bright lights of New York City. Not to mention an outstanding and terrifying directorial debut from Down Under with Talk to Me by Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou. And who would have thought Eli Roth would be the guy to give us a Thanksgiving horror movie worthy of a rewatch every year? We would say horror is back, baby, but the past few years have been a breeding ground for varied, quality horror. And this year is a strong continuation of that. Here are the best horror movies of 2023, so far.
