Letterboxd kicks off every year by putting together a multi-faceted look at the movies their users collectively rated highest from the previous year, and they break down the films into various categories including genre. Of course, what we care about most is the Highest Rated Horror Films of 2018, as chosen by Letterboxd’s users, and we’ve got the list for ya today.
Not surprisingly, Hereditary is in the #1 spot for 2018, with A Quiet Place and Suspiria not far behind. But the list gets a whole lot less predictable as it goes on, including Good Manners at #5 and November at #6. Both films largely flew under mainstream radars last year, so it’s pretty surprising to see that so many Letterboxd users both watched and loved them.
Here’s the full rundown:
- 1. Hereditary
- 2. A Quiet Place
- 3. Suspiria
- 4. Annihilation
- 5. Good Manners
- 6. November
- 7. Mandy
- 8. The House That Jack Built
- 9. Upgrade
- 10. Revenge
For what it’s worth, the list of Highest Rated Sci-fi Films also includes A Quiet Place, Annihilation and Upgrade, along with definite horror film Overlord and The Endless.
