"As with this year's Best Action list, 2021's harsh realities couldn't dampen the enthusiasm and talent of filmmakers wanting to make memorable horror films. Whether they premiered in theaters, at festivals, or on a streaming service, horror movies were on fire this year gifting genre fans with one bloody banger after the next.
This year's best horror movies also came to us from all over — in a first for these lists, a whopping four of the films below are from Canada! — and run the gamut when it comes to tone and content. Some are deadly serious while others fill the screen with laughs, some are gory as hell while others share their dark desires without a drop of blood. All of them, though, are fantastic."
