Find all of Bloody Disgustings Best Horror of 2020 coverage below!

Choice Cut: Matching the glorious gore and intricate character/actor work is the slick production. Cold, slick sci-fi meets a Grand Guignol aesthetic in Possessor, and its stunning. That sterile coldness means its a little bit tougher to acclimate to this world and its detached characters, but its a must for fans of cerebral thrillers.

Choice Cut: The Last of Us Part II has sometop tier horror set pieces(the Rat King!) anda richer interpretation of its post-apocalyptic world that make it a very involving journey through two warring perspectives.

Choice Cut: His House creates strong characters and upsetting scares, not to mention a fantastic twist, all of which point to a bright career ahead for debut filmmaker Remi Weekes.

Choice Cut: The dirty, dark and grimy found-footage-like camerawork in Underwater creates a constantly unnerving underwater atmosphere that only adds to the believability of the grandiose finale that can only be described as Lovecraft meets Cloverfield. Its epic.

Choice Cut: Haley Bennetts acting in Swallow captures emotional suppression frighteningly well and particularly her performance in the third act solidifies her as among the best that this year has to offer.

Choice Cut: The second segment in the delightful horror anthology The Mortuary Collection gives a subversive twist on the body horrors of pregnancy.

Choice Cut: Gretel & Hansel, Osgood Perkinss reimagining of the classic fairy tale, injects a whole lot of style, and the poster art exemplifies that. The foreboding dark woods surround a peculiar, sharp-angled house, with the witch standing in the doorway, washed in a warm glow.

Choice Cut: The year kicked off with a bold take on Bram Stokers 1897 classic Dracula, one not too interested in adhering faithfully to its source material. The feature-length, 3-episode run followed Dracula (Claes Bang) from his Eastern Europe origins to his battles with Van Helsings descendants and beyond. Dolly Wells threatened to steal the entire show as the feisty Sister Agatha Van Helsing, but the gore certainly helped quite a bit. If you thought youd grown tired of Bram Stokers Dracula, this series shook things up in a surprising way.

Choice Cut: Instead of creating themes for each character in The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Newton Brothers represented the multiple storylines by using instruments suited to those time periods. Piano is the star, effectively dripping with nostalgia, longing and bittersweetness. Its a perfect ode to the mood of this year.

Choice Cut: In many ways, 2020 was a year where horror showed the world what horror does best, not just enduring and thriving no matter the circumstances but also reflecting our current lives, troubles and experiences in a way that no other genre really can. And Rob SavagesHost, filmed during the pandemic and released onto Shudder in the very early stages of that same pandemic, personified those qualities better than any other movie released this year.
