The 15 Best Horror Films of 2020 - Paste Magazine

Years like 2020 showcase just how malleable movies' interpretations can be. In a similar phenomenon to how media was viewed again and again as representing entertainment "in Trump's America," the best horror films of 2020 seemed to presciently capture the isolation, mistrust, and racial tension permeating a year dominated by protests and a pandemic. Whether they reflect everything that mattered to moviegoers (or movie streamers, as most of us were by necessity this year) through their form—filmed on video conferences like Zoom—or their content—gripping tales of confinement, trauma, and contagion—the world of horror was a respite simply because it seemed to understand exactly what we were going through.
