5:02 “This one fell really flat, and to be honest, I think it’s the children’s fault. Ironically, because there’s something wrong with the children… they’re not believable” LMAOOO 😂

I personally really enjoy movies like “Happy Death Day“ or “Freaky” but they have that thing where they don’t take themselves too seriously, and with “It’s a wonderful knife” I was so irritated because it was so serious (maybe except for Justin Long’s performance). And I agree that it was really bad. But I think it could’ve been so much more fun if they just went with another tone

When I watched Saw X in the theater, I was actually alone, no one else in there, just me. It was incredible! I 1000% share the love you have for this movie :)

I can't believe you didn't even mention WHEN EVIL LURKS! This for me was by far the best horror movie I've seen in a loooong time. Everything about this film was amazing. The sound,the colour pallet, the dark hues. The absolute gut wrenching of at least 2 things that happened that shocked me to my core. I can't believe 😢this movie was so easily brushed off when it was probably greater than every other film mentioned. 😮

2 movies I haven’t heard anybody talk about yet from 2023: Dark Windows- A slow burn slasher/revenge movie with a nice twist and a very dark ending. Worth a watch. Malicious- Heavily inspired by Funny Games. A rapid paced, fun movie with some intense scenes. Again, very dark themed movie.

My favorite horror movie this year was "When Evil Lurks". It received such good reviews, I went to see it in the theatre first. I then rewatched it on shudder and felt like I was watching it for the first time because I had missed so much of the movie from closing my eyes in the theatre. It is such a fresh take on horror it has become a classic "go to" movie for me. Thanks for the 2023 ranking, there are several movies you recommended I hadn't seen I will now check out.

100% agree on Saw X. Got back to the original premise and was really well done. I always love your ranking videos- I appreciate all the hard work you put into them!

I'm so proud of the directors behind Talk To Me, the RackaRacka boys, Aussie icons over here. My first memories of them were their Ronald McDonald horror comedy skits back when I was in high school, and seeing them with an acclaimed horror, for A24 no less, brings a tear to the eye. This reminds me of when James Wan and Leigh Whannell first made Saw. 2 Aussie boys with an idea and now look at them. I can't wait to see what the Philippou's do next!

I saw several really good horror movies this year. When Evil Lurks was one of the best.

I loved Talk to Me & Thanksgiving, very gruesome. I love the originality of the films. At least for me, I can say they weren't movies I've seen 10x over. 🎬 🎞

I love seeing difference of opinions between us! Personally I thought knock at the cabin was boring and they could have done so much more with it! But I am happy some people enjoyed it like you

Yeah the FNAF movie had to walk a very fine line of catering to existing video game fans but still being accessible to people going into the movie blind. I think it did a pretty good job and I LOVE how much practical effects and costumes/suits were real versus CGI. I really hope we get some more movies out of the franchise because you can really feel the passion and love that was put into it. More importantly, I hope between FNAF and the Barbie movie that studios will realize that audiences actually like being able to see what is happening in movies and enjoy colors outside of dim to dark

Agree with your opinion on M3gan. Before watching it, I remember seeing people say that the kid was a brat. I watched it and didn't understand why people said that, she watched both of her parents die in a car crash. Did you expect her to act like everything was all sunshine and rainbows?

Skinamarink made me feel like a little kid sneaking downstairs to watch horror movies in the middle of the night because I wasn't allowed for the first time in at least 20 years. It scared me so much and in the best, most unexpected and original way. It may not reach the technical quality of the others, but that feeling made it blow past the competition.

Possessedbyhorror: i didnt get to see them all. Me: oh that’s fine! What did you only get to see like 12 or something? Possessedbyhorror: I did get to see 32. Me: -blinks as I stare at my hands- how many horror movies came out holy moly

If you watched Pet Cemetery and Evil dead you can definitely watch When Evil Lurks. It is not A Serbian film or Cannibal Holocaust. You are missing out on a really good movie

Influencer and Birth/Rebirth were my favorite releases from Shudder this year. Loved the twists and turns in Influencer and Birth/Rebirth was a great take on a Frankenstein-style tale. Thanksgiving and Totally Killer were my favorite slashers 🪓🔪. And my favorite horror film from 2023 isn’t technically a horror film; it’s a creature feature but the scenes with the creature were thrilling and terrifying… and that’s Godzilla Minus One 🦖

I don't mind the comedy horror movies...Happy Death Day, Renfield, etc, but It's a Wonderful Knife was by far the worst of this genre I've seen. If not for Justin Long it would have been unwatchable.

When Evil lurks was the best of the year, no contest.

Huge overlook with "When Evil Lurks". I see lots of people saying the same thing, but it bears repeating - if you're a horro-phile and you missed this film. You missed the best horror film of the year.

Did you see Beau is Afraid? What did you think? I saw it in the cinema when it came out and i haven't been able to make my mind up on whether i like it or not 😅

This year I've started EMDR (trauma therapy) which means I haven't really been able to watch much horror, it's just been too much for me. I've loved your videos, especially this one, for keeping up to date and feeling a bit more like myself still, without all the mental stress!

Your channel should be called AnnoyedByHorror 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Infinity pool was hands down my favorite movie this year! I hated the Nun 2. Unpopular opinion I loved the Nun 😂

Knock at the Cabin was one of the worst for me this year. I wanted to like it so badly, but I was disappointed. I love the book and I feel like Shyamalan didn't do it justice.

When Evil Lurks hands down was the Best.

WHEN EVIL LURKS #1

Please give When Evil Lurks a chance, it was a MOMENT

Last Voyage scratched all the right parts of my brain, I really enjoyed it. Great list, as always!

I was waiting for this since the 2022`s recap So excited for 2024!

Saw x.....worst: a creature was stirring 😵‍💫

Can you please review Lake Mungo (2008)? It's very controversial and I'm curious how you'd rate it ! Some people say it's the scariest movie they ever saw, others say they don't even consider it as horror. Personally, I think it's one of my top horror movies of all time, right after Pulse 2001 (the Japanese one).

Yesss Sarah!!! Also happy 1 year to little fern 😍😍

I watch a lot of horror movies, almost one per day, and I also write tales. I'd like to recommend a 2023's Argentinian Movie, 'When Evil Lurks', which I suspect you would give five stars, or almost. Would you like to mail?

I really liked Infinity Pool. I also liked Talk to Me and Thanksgiving. I enjoy your videos. Thanks!

I think covid is why every new movie feels like they go on vacation or some kind of getaway. Leaving the house is scary

Sad to see When Evil Lurks not make it here. I know you said you won't watch it but it deserves a place in the good or best movies category

I thought When Evil Lurks is your #1 but got disappointed when it was Saw X, I like the movie but to me it was just meh probably at #8 Evil Dead Rise should be at top 3

I loved When Evil Lurks, Cobweb and Thanksgiving. Hated M3GAN, Insidious 5 and Scream 6.

I honestly really want to see skinamarink because if hiw its so obiviously inspired by the analog horror genere and from what i seen it really excuated it perfectly, id honestly love to see more horror films be inspired by analog horror cause its honestly one of my favorites

I would like to add Nefarious as one of my top picks. I love movies with a lot of dialog. Sean Patrick Flannery did a great job at that duel role, and he stayed in character the whole way through. The movie did a great job of keeping me entertained while literally taking place in just one setting.

My 3 favorites were When Evil Lurks, Cobweb and Skinamarink My 3 most hated were The Exorcist: Believer, Insidious 5 and M3GAN

sorta disagree with missing. i dont think it was the best movie of the year but the acting was still good and i personally was hooked by the story

I loved loved loved Saw X and I hope they go in that direction vs. spiral, would love to get more of Amanda’s back story too

Yo. I have been watching your videos for a while. Im super glad you took time to talk about the issues with spyglass entertainment and thankskilling! Thank you for that!

skinamarink was easily my #1 this year, no movie has ever terrified me more

Peacing out after that Exorcist take lol.

Can you review Cobweb?

As always she ate this video! 🔥

....no When Evil Lurks? Give it a shot ASAP

Oh and Totally Killer should have been called Totally Woke Insufferable Blond Girl. And has no place in any horror list

Damn Slotherhouse didn't even make it :/

My thoughts on this video in her words.."it was fine" 😆 good stuff i subbed

you missed out "when evil lurks" and that movie was 6 stars at least :D

Thank you so much for this video! Sending you all the love to you, your daughter, and your family!

I was wondering where your review for thanksgiving was!

What happened to "when evil lurks"

Been waiting for this! 😍

The irony of the Eli Roth situation is that he’s outright doxxing people on his page, and Spyglass doesn’t seem to have a problem with his social media habits - yet Melissa was fired for simply standing up against genocide. Disgusting tbh.

When Evil Lurks was my fav for this year

1. Beau is Afraid 2. Infinity Pool 3. When Evil Lurks 4. Birth/Rebirth 5. Moon Garden 6. Skinamarink 7. Talk to Me 8. Malum 9. Run Rabbit Run 10. Saw X

I really love your Reviews channel. Nice to have a quick overview before watching the movie

This came up on my feed late, so I hadn't gotten to watch it until now, but it was on my front page.. and I just want you to know, I read the title and immediately thought, "Her number one spot is Saw X." I knew it had to be. It's just my favorite horror franchise of all time, and it's the reason I started following your channel. I'm so glad you loved it the way I loved it. Saw X was just so well done and we got so much of the story that was missing and there's still so much about John Kramer and the Saw universe that I want to learn. I am also nervous about the next movie. But I'm hopeful the writers will see what we loved about Saw X and will try to run with it.

Surprised at your #1 given the styles and subgenres that came to the fore higher up your list but this is my first time watching your stuff, so I'm guessing you're a big fan of the franchise (not for me personally outside the first film). I've dropped my 10 below (starred the ones not on your list) but also wanted to list a few others not on your list that I'd highly recommend - good video and appreciate your rationale for every choice. My 10; 10) It Lives Inside* 09) Thanksgiving 08) The Last Voyage of the Demeter 07) Evil Dead: Rise 06) No One Will Save You 05) Dark Harvest* 04) Infinity Pool 03) Cobweb 02) Talk to Me 01) When Evil Lurks***** Additional Recommendations; - Little Bone Lodge (think it's called The Last Exit in the States) - The Royal Hotel - From Black - Malum - The Sacrifice Game

Skinamarink 1 and Talk to Me 2 for me this year, though not seen Saw X because I haven't seen any Saws after the first three. But if Saw X it's a bit unlike a Saw movie than I'll give it a shot. Nice one for being honest about your views on Spyglass and Eli Roth. I concur

Great video 🤙 seriously missing out on watching blu ray movies though

For me Infinity Pool its a really good and special movie with nice but secret message

When Evil Lurks was getting 99% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, and you left it out?

I'm looking forward to checking out Totally Killer, Insidious, and Skinamarink. Some of my favorites were definitely Megan, Scream, 6, Thanksgiving, and Talk to Me as well.

I agree that last year was an absolutely killer year for horror. This year was a bit lame for movies in general.

I know this one is on your never-watch list, but man... When Evil Lurks takes the cake for me this year.

Yeah, this was a rough year for movies. Last year, when I made my best of list, I filled out a whole page in my notebook front and back. This year there were maybe... 12 on the list? And even then, a lot of them were movies that in previous years would have been in the runner up category.

If you saw the original classic “It’s A Wonderful Life” you might get “Knife” a little better. I didn’t like it too much, but I did enjoy Justin Long’s smarmy performance.

I kinda agree 2023 was pretty weak on the horror side. Most of the ones I really liked were only horror-adjacent at best. BEAU IS AFRAID I simply adored, even though that movie was so polarising. One that I haven’t seen anyone talk about is “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person”, which I saw at a festival, so maybe it’s not out yet? It’s a French-Canadian romantic vampire story and it’s soooo cosy.

Sarah I love your videos!! Congrats on your bby!! And oh man I loved Renfield, but I like a horror comedy lol. To each their own!

When Evil Lurks. Hello!!! 🥳

you didn't when evil lurks????

Imo I’m shocked When evil lurks isn’t on any part of this list have you not seen it yet if not you should.

Cobweb was soooo good!!!🖤 thanks for another great review list😊

Searching is better, but I gave Missing 4 stars. I really liked it

Definitely took notes on what to watch! I didn't see a lot of movies, so way behind. Really want to see the vampire movies even though they didn't score well. Have to see Cobwebs... Have never seen a Saw movie, not likely to start now. Thanks for the ranking and the comments!

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Movie Is One Of My Favorite Movie Of 2023 From Last Year And I Loved It

Where is Beau is afraid? I swear I saw a thumbnail video of you reviewing the movie but I guess I misremembered BUT I'd love if you did a review on the movie, super curious how you feel about it :)

I was surprised Cobweb was 4! I expected it to be your #1 but I’m not surprised saw X is there. I actually have no 4.5 or 5 star horror movies this year (😳) but I think No One Will Save You was my favorite!

Great list. I didn't agree with all of them but a great review nonetheless. I added a few of the to my tubi/Amazon list and if I like them I will buy them on dvd/blu-ray. I ordered Cobweb and am getting the Blu-ray tomorrow. Awesome channel!!

The best horror movie of the year is missing on this list: when evil lurks.

Great list!

You uploaded on my birthday omg yay!!!!!

Yessssss Cobweb- surprised me! The scares were so good and not traditional jump scares.

I love analog horror so skinamarink is very scary, especially when i had an issue when I was a kid. I love found footage stuff like that because it seems more real than a movie that's just put together professionally. Knock at the cabin was disappointing since they changed the ending I found the book ending far more Superior and changes the way you think about things

Hearing Brightwood is similar to a story you wrote makes me want to watch it!

My Top 12 Worst To Best Horror are: 12) Evil Dead Rises 11) Cabin At The Woods 10) There Something Wrong The Children 9) Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey 8) Totally Killer 7) Talk To Me 6) Skinamarink 5) Voyage Of The Damned 4) Reinfield 3) Saw X 2) V/H/S 85 1) Cobweb

I guess I'm the only person on planet earth who liked the last voyage of the demeter 😂

i guess not fully horror, but mine was beau is afraid with saw right behind

i really enjoyed 'brightwood' as well! i stumbled upon it while in a clickhole session after watching 'the endless'. i agree with you abt its story editing; always fun to see elements exist perfectly with no extraneous story-noise to hide behind. what it had to say abt marriage had me laughing/nodding/screaming, as well. i bought-in immediately.

I really liked Renfield I think bc I saw it as only a comedy with I guess like a sprinkle of horror. I also watched it in dubbed in Spanish with my family since its our first language & I think maybe that made it funnier / more enjoyable.

My favorites this year were evil dead rise , consecration, and when evil lurks. Also do you have to watch all the other saw movies to "get" saw x ? Ive only seen the first saw

Awesome list! Yeah Saw X was such a pleasant surprise this year. I had a similar experience seeing it on the big screen. I honestly loved Infinity Pool but get that it's very chaotic and bizarre so not for everyone. I loved how it linked its concept to its characters and we saw the downward spiral of James as he fell to his own temptations.

Evil Dead rise is the best in the franchise, in my opinion. The creepy factor surpasses the other films. Supernatural horror usually doesnt scare me, but this movie was scary. The ending was mediocre, but so are 70% of horror movie endings. Its worth a watch.
