The Best Horror Movies of 2022
Film School Rejects
by Rob Hunter
Horror films come in so many varied flavors — from the deadly serious to the silly and comedic, from monster movies to human terrors — and 2022 saw fantastic examples of every kind hit screens, both big and small. Fans are enjoying something of an embarrassment of riches these days, but that has quickly become a double-edged sword. The more horror films there are out there, in theaters and on home video or streamers, the better the chances that something will be missed.
Still, we horror fans will go the extra mile to see as many entries in the genre as possible each year, and 2022 was no exception. That includes scoping out the scene at film festivals like Fantastic Fest, Fantasia International Film Festival, Chattanooga Film Fest, and more while also hitting up theaters, scoping out VOD releases, and keeping an eye on Netflix, Hulu, and other streamer originals.
