2019 treated us very well in terms of how our podcast is doing and in terms of great horror movies. I would even go so far as to say we were spoiled by 2019. So let's take a look at what we love and hated about the horror movies that we reviewed in 2019.

We had such a great time with horror in 2019!

Worst Horror Movies of 2019

The Prodigy

This was such a boring movie that I resent it for technically being decent enough to be called mediocre. This is a movie that holds the title of "mediocrity" high above it's head and smiles.

From Miles, the boring antagonist child, to his boring parents that boring birthed him, this movie is one that I will not watch again.

Greta

While not committing any mortal sins, Greta manages to be more forgettable than The Prodigy. This PG-13 thriller has a great trailer that leads one to believe that things will get real crazy, real fast.

All that ends up happening is kidnapping and some Boo-box play. Yawn.

The Curse of La Llorona

Looking back on this, we only gave it a 4/10 but this movie was (in my mind) a 2/10. The real curse was having to sit through an hour and a half long movie that could have been 22 minutes of witless bullshit.

This was a clear cash grab that the studio behind The Conjuring franchise, and hopefully not a sign of things to come.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

To be honest with you, SStTitD was not that bad. It was really my fault for getting my hopes up about a movie that is nodding at my childhood nostalgia and winking.

This is a fine movie to introduce young teens to the genre, but if you are looking for interesting concepts or a fun time, look elsewhere.

Best Horror Movies of 2019

The Dead Don't Die

The Dead Don't Die is lowkey one of the best movies of the year in terms of entertainment value, star power, script, and acting. Taking a totally fucked-out premise like zombies and making it fun and funny again is always impressive.
