2020 was a horror movie if we're being honest.

I’ll save you guys some time!
10.) Host - not very good, an hour long, a remade, worse version of “Unfriended”
9.) Swallow - Thriller
8.) Sputnik - Sci-Fi
7.) Relic - Horror
6.) Color Out Of Space - Sci-Fi
5.) She Dies Tomorrow - Comedy Thriller
4.) I’m Thinking Of Ending Things - Romance Thriller
3.) Possessor - Sci-Fi Thriller
2.) His House - Horror - I personally shut it off before the end. Very slow and boring
Honorable Mentions:
- Come To Daddy - Action/Thriller
- Blood Quantum- Zombie Flick
- La Llarona - Horror - good movie, the 2020 one is better though!
- The Platform - Thriller
1.) The Invisible Man - Horror - kinda cheesy, but overall decent movie! It deserves the #1 spot for sure!

I'm glad i came straight to the comment section before watching this, coz majority of the commenters did a better job at picking out the top horror movies of this year than WatchMojo did. Thanks guys!!

“Swallow” was pretty weird. Don’t know if it was really for me but that main actress, was absolutely amazing and wouldn’t be surprised if she became an a-list actor in no time

[AnimeWolf]

It's very eerie hearing the summary of _She Dies Tomorrow._ When I was dealing with anxiety and depression, I didn't want to tell people about it, because I didn't want them to deal with it too. Like I'd just pass it on to them.
It's so strange to see a story someone else wrote mirror a thought you've never said out loud.

Edit: I feel like I should say I haven't watched it. I'm more commenting on it's summary and what I got from it.

Possessor is probably my favorite film to come out of 2020 and Invisible Man was last film I saw in theaters before the end times. Horror movies and 2020...how I will be remembering this year.

[Solo_Sessums]

I seriously thought you said a "gay" Nicholas Cage.

[kershuffle]

I just watched Sputnik last night. It was definitely more dramatic than I expected it to be but it added to the tension – highly recommend!

[diegomelendreras]

I’m so happy La Llorona, the Guatemalan film, was mentioned here. It was nominated for a Golden Globe.

[hellhound_haunt]

Invisible Man DESERVES to be #1. It was a perfectly executed movie.

[rhythmoriented]

Lemme just say that Possessor Uncut was insane at times, and seeing it in the theater added to the experience. Highly recommended as an NC-17 level horror film, with Brandon Cronenberg carrying on the family tradition.

I haven't been able to find any good horror movies lately so this was helpful to get recommendations

[lorenzruiz]

So basically the first one was
Online class gone wrong

[tabsumkhadka]

Seeing this list, I would't be suprised if they labled spongbob squarpants in a horror category. What a waste of time.

[corradoriccomini]

Sputnik is a really nice twist on the "alien creature" subject .

[SimRacing]

How is it that I’ve been bored for an entire year, but haven’t seen any of these?!

[Kmng]

Okay, The Invisible Man was the last movie I watched in theater before the pandemic lockdown
