Hello movie friends,
welcome
to a new feature on my blog, and I thought about sharing my favorite
movies with you from now on. So I try to do a ranking of my favorite
movies in each genre like Horror, Action or SCI-FI, and I am going to
create a ranking for you, so that you have a better understanding of my
taste and of my personal favorites.
Today
I want to start with the genre Horror, and here we are going to have a
look at my favorites since 2016. There are 10 movies which I want to
introduce to you, which are in my eyes the greatest of all Horror movies
since the past 365 days. All of them will have their movie banner and a
little storyline.
Enough talking, let's go :)
10. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE (2016)
After a car accident, Michelle awakens to find herself in a mysterious bunker with two men named Howard and Emmett. Howard offers her a pair of crutches to help her remain mobile with her leg injury sustained from the car crash and tells her to "get good on those" before leaving the bunker. She has been given the information that there has been an alien attack and the outside world is poisoned. However, Howard and Emmett's intentions soon become questionable and Michelle is faced with a question: Is it better in here or out there?
9. THE BOY (2016)
Greta is a young American woman who takes a job as a nanny in a remote
English village, only to discover that the family's 8-year-old is a
life-sized doll that the parents care for just like a real boy, as a way
to cope with the death of their actual son 20 years prior. After
violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing and
inexplicable events bring Greta's worst nightmare to life, leading her
to believe that the doll is actually alive.
8. THE WITCH (2016)
New England, 1630: William and Katherine try to lead a devout Christian
life, homesteading on the edge of an impassible wilderness, with five
children. When their newborn son mysteriously vanishes and their crops
fail, the family begins to turn on one another. 'The Witch' is a
chilling portrait of a family unraveling within their own sins, leaving
them prey for an inescapable evil. In
this exquisitely made and terrifying new horror film, the age-old
concepts of witchcraft, black magic and possession are innovatively
brought together to tell the intimate and riveting story of one family's
frightful unraveling in the New England wilderness circa 1630. New
England, 1630. Upon threat of banishment by the church, an English
farmer leaves his colonial plantation, relocating his wife and five
children to a remote plot of land on the edge of an ominous forest -
within which lurks an unknown evil. Strange and unsettling things begin
to happen almost immediately - animals turn malevolent, crops fail, and
one child disappears as another becomes seemingly possessed by an evil
spirit. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, family members accuse
teenage daughter Thomasin of witchcraft, charges she adamantly denies.
As circumstances grow more treacherous, each family member's faith,
loyalty and love become tested in shocking and unforgettable ways.
Writer/director Robert Eggers' debut feature, which premiered to great
acclaim at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival - winning the Best Director
Prize in the U.S. Narrative Competition - painstakingly recreates a
God-fearing New England decades before the 1692 Salem witch trials, in
which religious convictions tragically turned to mass hysteria. Told
through the eyes of the adolescent Thomasin - in a star-making turn by
newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy - and supported by mesmerizing camera work and a
powerful musical score, The Witch is a chilling and groundbreaking new
take on the genre.
7. THE FOREST (2016)
The
Forest, which is set in the Aokigahara forest at the base of Mt. Fuji,
tells the story of a young American woman who goes in search of her twin
sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. Despite everyone’s warnings
to “stay on the path,” Sara enters the forest determined to discover the
truth about her sister’s fate, only to be confronted by the angry and
tormented souls of the dead who prey on anyone who wanders into the
forest.
6. CABIN FEVER (2016)
Executive
producer Eli Roth presents this reboot of his instant classic gorefest,
which features all new characters and all new kills. This story is
familiar: fresh out of college, a group of five friends retreat to a
remote cabin in the woods for one last week of partying- only to become
snacks for a gruesome, flesh-eating virus. What’s surprising are the
ingenious new deaths, which offer a fresh spin on a horror-comedy
milestone. With Gage Golightly (Teen Wolf) and Dustin Ingram (Paranormal
Activity 3).
5. A CURE OF WELLNESS (2017)
Tells the story of an employee (DeHaan) who is sent to rescue his boss from a European “wellness spa” but soon realizes he's trapped, and discovers that the facility has a more sinister purpose than just serving the health needs of its patients.

4. GET OUT (2017)
Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods).
At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.

3. DON'T BREATHE (2016)
Rocky, a young woman wanting to start a better life for her and her
sister, agrees to take part in the robbery of a house owned by a wealthy
blind man with her boyfriend Money and their friend Alex. But when the
blind man turns out to be a more ruthless adversary than he seems, the
group must find a way to escape his home before they become his newest
victims.
2. MARTYRS (2016)
Ten-year-old Lucie flees from the isolated warehouse where she has been held prisoner. Deeply traumatized, she is plagued by awful night terrors at the orphanage that takes her in. Her only comfort comes from Anna, a girl her own age. Nearly a decade later and still haunted by demons, Lucie finally tracks down the family that tortured her. As she and Anna move closer to the agonizing truth, they find themselves trapped in a nightmare - if they cannot escape, a martyr's fate awaits them...
1. THE CONJURING 2 (2016)
Director James Wan brings this supernatural thriller to the screen with another real case from the files of renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren.. Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits. In 1977, where single mother Peggy Hodgson believes that something evil is in her home. When Peggy's youngest daughter starts showing signs of demonic possession, Ed and Lorraine attempt to help the besieged girl, only to find themselves targeted by the malicious spirits. The most impressive movie since I started to like Horror movies, with a pyscho terror from the very beginning on, full speed of Horror until the middle of the movie, then it cools down a bit to tell the story of the Hodgsons, then it speed ups again until the final. I was watching that movie, I was sweating all the time because of that terror which happens in that movie, and I was so much scared like never before, and pictures of the horror, which is performed so well, are still in my mind. This one is a master peace of horror movies.
And so this was the first ranking on my blog. Of course we can discuss about it, let me know what you think about these horror movies, wether you agree or disagree. Hope you find womething for yourself to watch, have fun, and see you soon. Thanks for reading.
