Promising Independent Horror Films to Watch Out For This Year. The blockbuster business these days is all about spandex and sequels and reboots. It’s never been a better time to be a superhero, but if you know where to look, it’s also never been a better time to be a horror buff. Genre festivals like Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest are bigger than ever, while the Midnight lineups at heavyweight events like Sundance, South by Southwest, and the Toronto International Film Festival have become pipelines for movies that generate buzz on par with the more conventional prestige fare. What’s more, digital distribution platforms like Netflix and Amazon have given life to niche horror films that don’t command nationwide theatrical releases.

Going to see Guillermo del Toro’s sprawling Gothic romance Crimson Peak on the big screen was beautiful and all, but Mark Duplass’s microbudget Creep is terrifying and available to stream at a moment’s notice. And did you miss the Danish fantasy- thriller When Animals Dream? Of course you did! But don’t stress, because it, too, is waiting for you on Netflix right now. But it’s not just a question of availability either. Watch Our Lips Are Sealed Download. The quality and diversity of horror films right now is incredibly high.

Evrim Ersoy, the head programmer for Fantastic Fest, says. The wide variety of topics covered, in ever- more inventive ways, showed us that filmmakers were constantly reinventing themselves and their visual language, to find fresh ways to scare, to terrorize, and to disturb us.” Fantastic Fest is the biggest genre film festival in the country, which means that if Ersoy liked what he saw on the indie circuit last year, then viewers are in luck this year. Based on input from Ersoy and Beyond Fest co- founder Christian Parkes, as well as our own assessment of what’s to come, here are ten independent horror films to get excited about this year. Open that Hungarian trapdoor to hell and see where it leads. Southbound (released February 5)Horror anthologies have a rich legacy: Roger Corman brought us the Tales of Terror in 1.

George A. Romero walked us through his Creepshow in 1. Tales From the Crypt and The Twilight Zone have lived on over the decades. In recent years, we’ve seen a resurgence of the form with collections like The ABCs of Death, Trick ‘r Treat, Tales of Halloween and, most notably, the V/H/S movies. When the first V/H/S collection came out in 2. The Haunting Of Sunshine Girl Episode 1. But by all indications, Southbound is the refresher we’ve been waiting for in the format. The movie comprises five vignettes set on a derelict highway, connected by the voice of one radio DJ. Anthologies can be uneven, but they can also be an excellent showcase for up- and- coming horror directors, and the folks involved here include V/H/S alums David Bruckner, Roxanne Benjamin, and Radio Silence. Watch Crashing Online Ibtimes here.

It sounds like Bruckner’s segment, called “Accident,” is a truly standout short; The Hollywood Reporter called it “a gem worthy of The Twilight Zone.”The Witch (February 1. Witch writer and director Robert Eggers had a pretty great 2. He walked into Sundance last January with his debut feature film in hand and walked out with the Directing Award in the U. S. Dramatic competition.

Prior to that, he hadn’t directed anything since a short film in 2. TV shows (including two episodes of I Married a Mobster). But Eggers was apparently spending all of his free time crafting this impeccably art- directed rumination on zealotry and witch panic in 1. Massachusetts. The movie opens with a pious family being kicked out of their township because they’re the wrong kind of fundamentalist, and closes with one of the best finale sequences in recent memory. From start to finish, you’ll jitter in a prison of your own nerves, thanks to brilliant writing from Eggers and guttural turns from his principal cast: professional scary mom Kate Dickie (you fear her as Lysa “I breast- feed my 1. Arryn in Game of Thrones), professionally deep- voiced man Ralph Ineson (Amycus Carrow in the Harry Potter movies, Finchy in The Office), and newcomer Anya Taylor- Joy, who delivers a quietly powerful turn as the eldest daughter of a damned family.

Baskin (March 2. 5)Here’s one for the hard- core set. Turkish director Can Evrenol has been acquiring acolytes thanks to his short- film work over the past few years. In 2. 01. 3, Baskin started off as an 1.

Turkish police officers in the really wrong place at the really wrong time: A routine night patrol leads them to a “squalid, blood- soaked den of Satanic ritual.” In other words, they discover “a trapdoor to Hell.” When Baskin premiered at TIFF last year, the official page for the full movie version promised it would produce as much scandal and controversy as Pascal Laugier’s monument to audience discomfort, Martyrs. If you’re a fan of the New French Extremity movement, Baskin should be like a bowl of horror candy. If you really only go in for the minimalist psychological fare, then stay far, far away from this one. The trailer is NNNSFW, and makes it feel like this might be a movie- long version of the hell- vision sequence from Event Horizon.

If you know what I’m talking about, you know what I’m talking about.) So we advise watching with caution, but if you’re in the market for “sustained, stylized revulsion,” as The Hollywood Reporter put it, then Baskin should be your huckleberry. The Invitation (March 2. Dear God, it’s a woman! Horror cinema, much like cinema itself, is typically a playground for the dudes. Unless you’re a prized Final Girl in a slasher or the lead in a period piece (see: Crimson Peak, The Others, The Witch, The Awakening, etc.), you’re probably either an object or a side note. And you’re definitely not the director. That is, unless you’re Karyn Kusama!

Kusama came out swinging in 2. Girlfight, which premiered at Sundance and won the Director’s Prize and shared the Grand Jury award. Aeon Flux from 2.

Jennifer’s Body from 2. And one could argue that Jennifer’s Body was just very misunderstood!) Now, with The Invitation, Kusama is getting her highest marks in 1. The film garnered an admittedly early 1. Rotten Tomatoes and a five- skull rating from Bloody Disgusting, which deemed it a “masterful exercise in unbearable tension.” The story follows a man named Will, whose wife, Eden, leaves him in the wake of tragedy. Now, two years later, she’s resurfaced with a new husband and a whole new set of friends.
