I loved how NOPE went from "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" to an episode of "Neon Genesis Evangelion"

[pepito]

That monkey scene was the scariest part of Nope

[mrmilindnair]

Shocked to see Smile placed at no. 10. I found Smile extremely well made and genuinely terrifying at places. The acting and screenplay were top notch. It should have been easily placed in top 3!!

2022 was seriously a good year for horror.

[EastsideSILENCER]

Smile was legitimately horrifying, Black Phone was disturbing, Terrifier was disgusting, X was freaky, Orphan: First Kill was unexpected, Bones & All was stupid so was Bodies Bodies Bodies and Scream wasn’t a horror film. BARBARIAN WAS A MASTERPIECE!!! I gotta see Fresh, Hatching & We’re all going to the Worlds Fair

I fell in love with Scream in my teen years. It feels awesome what you said and I think Wes Craven would be proud.
Rest In Peace, legendary horror director

You go in to Barbarian thinking one thing and leave knowing another. Absolutely brilliant.

How fresh was not an honorable mention when you use it as the opening to this video is beyond me. Fresh is amazing and a gem of 2022

[LeonardoKlotz]

Scott Derickson did good leaving the MCU while he could

He sure has a lot more to offer

[justapeacefulmanwhosbornin]

I really LOVE both 'X' and the 2022 'Scream' movie.
We can't wait to see the next one until March 2023.

I like how people were leaving and throwing up watching Terrifier 2. Come on it's Art the Clown, he makes his victims into Art.

[alialluaibi]

What I don't like about The Black Phone is that the paranormal phenomenon takes the majority of the film, heck, the kidnapper barley did anything and the kid wasn't acting much as he is kidnapped. It is like staring at a lion inside a cage, it is terrifying but it does loosen up a bit after sometime !

[garrettwidner]

Smile was fantastic. I haven't seen a horror movie that disturbing in a while, and the metaphors for the cycle of abuse are great.

[AgentWuT]

The movie "Smile" is one of the greatest i've watched but what ruins it is the ending

[noshgaming]

Wow I just watched barbarian and was expecting it to be on the list & it's number 1! Well deserved.

Barbarian Black phone smile nope and scream 2022 were some of my favorite horror movies of 2022.
