Set in the same mythology the filmmaking duo built in their 2012 indie horror Resolution, The Endless follows two brothers (played by Benson and Moorhead, who also wrote, directed, shot, edited, and produced the film) who return to the cult they abandoned in their youth in search of closure. Fortunately, The Endless is now available on Netflix and you should definitely move it to the top of your list. But still, in a year as crowded as 2018, plenty of folks missed the genre-bending delight at the time.
Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's trippy cult drama The Endless spent a year earning rave reviews from critics and audiences in the festival circuit before landing in theaters earlier this year to more rounds of rave reviews from critics and audiences. With the year drawing to a close and the time of Top 10 lists upon us, I wanted to look back at some of the bets horror movies of the year you might have missed, from theatrical releases to streaming exclusives. If you miss a great horror movie, the folks on Twitter and Reditt are going to let you know. Just look at Shudder the horror streaming service continues to build an excellent lineup of Shudder Originals and Exclusives (many of which are in the list below), but the platform simply isn't as big as other household name streaming services yet.įortunately, there's no fandom more passionate and eager to talk about the movies they love than horror fans. Part of it is no doubt the amount of content between streaming services, VOD releases, and theatrical hits, there's just a lot to keep up with. For every Heredtiary and Halloween, there are twice as many movies that should have made it to theaters but didn't, and even films that faltered at the box office like Suspiria and Annihilation became a larger part of the conversation than so many horror movies that seemed to arrive in silence from general audiences. In a year where Steven Soderbergh made his horror debut and nobody saw it (!), it's safe to say a lot of great horror this year flew under the radar. In fact, there's so much excellent horror content to go around right now, that naturally, a lot of good horror movies - movies that might have been the talk of the town less fruitful years - end up falling through the cracks. Across the board, horror storytellers have more support - from audiences, studios and distributors alike - and more reach than anytime in recent memory. As for indie horror, things have arguably never been better with folks like A24, Blumhouse and IFC Midnight keeping the release date calendar lined with stranger visions of terror a la Hereditary, The Witch, and last year's surprise giant Get Out. If franchise horror is more your speed, The Conjuring, The Purge, andthe triumphant return of Halloween this year have led the charge. In the realm of studio horror, blockbuster hits like IT and A Quiet Place have thrilled critics and audiences. No matter how you like your horror, the last few years have been an especially rich time for the genre.
