I loved your Top Horror of 2020 so I decided to come back here :). Great list Jason. Looking at the DATE of this video upload, don't you wish you could send a message back in time to yourself and say "Hey, uh, a global pandemic will be hitting soon so get your ass our to a movie theater pronto!" Hopefully we will be back to life soon... All I can say is THANK GOD for streaming platforms. They have helped keep me sane during this time as I can binge tons of horror movies that perhaps never would have gone to the theater and also being able to go back and watch older stuff I never got around to seeing. Anyways, love your content man. Keep in up.
Thanks again Jason, love hearing your opinions! I adore the Lighthouse, give me Willem Dafoe and Gary Oldman all day everyday. I was really disappointed with Doctor sleep 😬 but love all of Flanagans films.
Nice list! a good few of them i still haven't seen. but i agree with the top 3. I'd probably say Doctor Sleep was my #1 but still need to check out the Directors Cut. same with the Midsommar Cut.
I hear ya, bro. Myself, I _love_ hearing your thoughts, ideas, perspectives, feelings about your viewing experiences, for you really go in-depth in way that I haven't seen much from similar movie review channels. Cheers
you are the Greatest!! As always, love your reviews. You look at everything with knowledge of the genre, partiality. And keep to your own opinion. Only saw a few of those on the list but again we are right on! Thank you!
Hugs for the high ranking of Dr. Sleep. I loved it upon my first theatrical viewing and absolutely fell in love with it upon watching the directors cut. OMG is this cut incredible, the scenes or minutes or even seconds that were added back in here and there so enriched the movie and made it into my top five movies of all time. Thrilled they put in that red bathroom scene, what a rush! Loved the book, loved the movie ....
I still have to check out a couple of these on your list. Dry blood was added to Tubi so I should get it watched this week. I’m right there with you on Annabelle Comes Home. I thought it was easily the best Conjuring spin-off and made my top ten as well. Midsommar was my number 1. I love that movie so much and Florence Pugh is basically my Emma Roberts lmao which just makes me love it more. Surprisingly while I can respect the performances in the lighthouse it didn’t necessarily wow me like it did some people but I still liked it regardless. I’m glad some people absolutely love it though. It’s definitely a very unique movie.
The Lighthouse is a phenomenal film and one that has really stuck with me since the first time I watched it......it has also left me with nightmares of seagulls.
HEADCOUNT, YES! That is the very first review of yours I watched, when I first found your channel, and I too LOVED that film, and your review inspired me to create the first review on Google for that film. A definite "thinking-person's" horror movie in which it is important to carefully notice what is happening in the background of the characters in order to fully appreciate the film. Thanks as always, my friend.
I now have some new horror movies to check out. 6-10 for sure. Crawl may have surprised me the most this year. I was thinking stupid throw away movie going and now one of my favorite animal horror movies of all time. I need to try the light house again though. I watched the first 20 minutes one night and for whatever reason was not feeling it ( Didn't help that I was already really tired going into it. But I love both actors and loved that it was in B&W. Also 100% agree on Velvet Buzzsaw. Right when I started this video I quickly did my own favorites and under worst I only wrote down Velvet Buzzsaw. Great top 10 and I can't wait to start watching some of the ones I missed from your list.
Great list man I base my list off re watch value and what films stuck with me after I walked out of the theater 1. The nightingale 2.hagazzua 3.lighthouse 4.Us 5.child's play 6.close calls 7.doctor sleep 8.braid 9.I trapped the devil 10. Luz 11.dry blood
Very awesome list you've got there. I still need to see Dr Sleep and Crawl. They sound amazing. Can't wait until we get the directors cut of Midsommar. Have you seen the movie The House That Jack Built? I heard the unrated version just hit blu ray. I'll be checking that out soon. Looks great. I heard that movie has scenes that made hardcore horror fans cringe. We'll have to wait and see. Awesome video, as always. Thank you 😎😎😎😎😎
Love the video, love the list! Obviously some stuff I strongly agreed with, a couple things I didn't feel quite the same about- that's always going to happen though. No one is a carbon copy of someone else, especially with something like cinema. A couple I haven't seen yet, so I've got some new movies to watch. Here's mine: 10. Depraved 09. Bliss 08. Ready or Not 07. It Chapter Two 06. The Lighthouse 05. Doctor Sleep 04. Us 03. Daniel Isn't Real 02. Color Out of Space (counting as 2019) 01. Midsommar Honorable Mentions: Crawl, Villains, The Laplace's Demon (forgot it was 2019), Come to Daddy, Escape Rooom, Little Monsters, Lifechanger, and Snatchers. p.s. I liked Annabelle Comes Home too! And Velvet Buzzsaw was my biggest disappointment as well lol.
I need to watch your other picks but the top 3 I agree 150%. Now you have me dying to see the director's cut but I seen Doctor Sleep in theaters and loved it a lot. Midsommar and Lighthouse were so very unique and different and I loved them. The opening scene of Midsommar is what completely horrified me from the jump. The suicide scene made my girlfriend scream. Then the ending had us both silent and traumatized. Willem Dafoe gives the best performance of his career which says a lot and Robert Pattinson is a great actor. Anyone who doubts the "Twilight guy" go watch a great A24 film called The Rover.
I had to watch it again to really appreciate it. I think it was awesome. The VVitch, Hereditary, Midsommar, and The Lighthouse are amazing films and I love what A24 has been doing even with non-horror like Uncut Gems and Mississippi Grind and many more.
Jason I got a huge recommendation for you! If you enjoy the Warren stuff then watch a early 90s made for TV film called The Haunted. It is the most genuinely frightening haunted house film I have ever seen and it has older versions of Ed and Lorraine Warren. It stars Jeff Demunn from TWD and Darabont films. His family is stalked and terrorized by a totally scary non CGI entity. It is also based on a true story.
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 my girlfriend got it on roku but it likely came from the same place. It was 90s TV quality but the film was so engaging and unnerving and genuinely scary that i never really even noticed the lesser quality. There is a scene which is supposedly 100% true involving a man being raped that gives me chills just thinking of it.
Headcount was good, but I didn’t think it was amazing. I think if they got a bigger budget it could be the start of a new horror franchise. The idea behind it is awesome, but you don’t really get to see the kills and there just could have been more to it. I blame that on thier budget though. You get really engaged with watching the characters to see if their double is somewhere else. On a side note do you have an Into the Dark review coming for My Valentine?
Sinister Cinema Reviews well It’s not great, but it was kind of fun and I think based on some CZcamsrs I heard about before minus the murder anyway. I vaguely remember hearing about it several years ago.
Sinister Cinema Reviews just looked it up. It was Mars Argo and Poppy. If you don’t know about that drama you should definitely look it up before your review.
Our top 2 matched. I was for the first time disappointed by FLanagan. Perfection was good till the bus scene. then I cudnt hate it more. Annabelle I skipped. Got plenty of new ones into my watchlist from ur 10-5
Well, our top two are the same, in reverse order, and I liked all the movies on your list which I got to see (2 or 3 I had no time to watch). "It" was an enjoyable but mediocre movie, I still prefer the old TV series. As for Dr Sleep, it wouldn't be in my top 10, but I can understand that Stephen King fans would like it... Stanley Kubrick's "version" has nothing to do with Stephen King's Shining, fortunately. After buying a copy of the script at Pinewood Studios, and going thru Kubrick's archives, I fail to understand why he even put King's name in the credits... Studio contractual duties, copyright, or licencing, no doubt. Anyway, loved your list, Cheers. PS: Hope I get to see more movies this year, I'm missing a lot from 2018 and 2019. So, I probably wouldn't be qualified to do a top 20 for both those years ;)
My favorites of 2019 is.. Us Anabelle comes home It chapter two Halloween (saw this on DVD last year) On that note everyone has there own personal taste and opinions on what makes a great horror film and shouldn't be shamed for what they like 🤦🏽♂️
I’m writing down some of these. Can you spell the title of #6? The something Demon? I can’t make out what you’re saying. Thx bro! Oh, PS - not sure if you are a fan of The Babadook, but that director also had a follow up last year with The Nightingale. Did U see that one? Not even sure it was horror or not...
Coolhive You’re welcome! I haven’t seen it myself, but its free on Amazon Prime here in Germany, so I might get to it soon. Sinister has a spoiler free review on his channel, you can check it out to eventually see if it’s something for you.
Jason mate be wary of youtube friends messages its been on a lot of vids ive watched recently exact same message I think its a scam I seen it on one of your vids just a heads up : )
Great show brother. Always great content. 👍👌
I loved your Top Horror of 2020 so I decided to come back here :). Great list Jason.

Anyways, love your content man. Keep in up.
I definitely wish I could send a message back saying here’s what to watch and here’s what not to waste your fucking time on haha
Thanks again Jason, love hearing your opinions! I adore the Lighthouse, give me Willem Dafoe and Gary Oldman all day everyday. I was really disappointed with Doctor sleep 😬 but love all of Flanagans films.

Learned of 2 new movies on your list thanks I'll check em out 👍
you are the Greatest!! As always, love your reviews. You look at everything with knowledge of the genre, partiality. And keep to your own opinion. Only saw a few of those on the list but again we are right on! Thank you!
Thank you. I hope you check out the others
thanks for the recommendations, Jason. i hadn't heard of some of these.

Yeah she’s hot
Midsommar, Doctor Sleep,and Ready or Not were my absolute favorite of last year (:
Same. I have watched Midsommar probably 14 times straight and now I'm past the terror of it all and watching for Easter eggs and such
Ready or Not was a lot of fun.
Ready or not was fabulous, my best surprise of the year, never thought I'd love it so much.
The Lighthouse is a phenomenal film and one that has really stuck with me since the first time I watched it......it has also left me with nightmares of seagulls.

Colin good list man. Booo to Velvet Buzzsaw
just seen Head count n i thought it was awesome .where can i watch your podcast on the film?

Our top 3 almost the same.
1 Doctor Sleep
2 Midsommar
3 The Lighthouse
4 IT chapter 2
5 Childs Play
We have the same top 3, just in different order! Ha Mine were Midsommar, Doctor Sleep, & The Lighthouse. So close!!👍
Lighthouse best be on here, i loved that movie like i loved "it follows" & "us" when they first came out, classics!
Nice list bro! Surprised to see Crawl on the list.
Did you get my message on patreon bro?
I need to rewatch The Lighthouse, I didn’t love it as much as everyone else seems to have
I had to watch it again to really appreciate it. I think it was awesome. The VVitch, Hereditary, Midsommar, and The Lighthouse are amazing films and I love what A24 has been doing even with non-horror like Uncut Gems and Mississippi Grind and many more.
It's definitely a film that not everyone will love, but I absolutely loved it.

Sinister Cinema Reviews just looked it up. It was Mars Argo and Poppy. If you don’t know about that drama you should definitely look it up before your review.
I enjoy hearing your list but I'm just curious have you ever heard of a movie in 2003 called spun
Yes.
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 spun is hilarious im glad u seen it bc its not talked about for having that many famous actors
Back on topic midsommar and doctor sleep were good but i really liked trick from 2019.
Our top 2 matched. I was for the first time disappointed by FLanagan. Perfection was good till the bus scene. then I cudnt hate it more. Annabelle I skipped. Got plenty of new ones into my watchlist from ur 10-5

PS: Hope I get to see more movies this year, I'm missing a lot from 2018 and 2019. So, I probably wouldn't be qualified to do a top 20 for both those years ;)
My favorites of 2019 is..
Us
Anabelle comes home
It chapter two
Halloween (saw this on DVD last year)
On that note everyone has there own personal taste and opinions on what makes a great horror film and shouldn't be shamed for what they like 🤦🏽♂️
I would of put Ready or Not in my top ten with Midsommar and Crawl
I’m writing down some of these. Can you spell the title of #6? The something Demon? I can’t make out what you’re saying. Thx bro! Oh, PS - not sure if you are a fan of The Babadook, but that director also had a follow up last year with The Nightingale. Did U see that one? Not even sure it was horror or not...
Its The Laplace‘s Demon
der todesking Thank you! Just watched the trailer. It looks ... different. Lol
Coolhive You’re welcome! I haven’t seen it myself, but its free on Amazon Prime here in Germany, so I might get to it soon. Sinister has a spoiler free review on his channel, you can check it out to eventually see if it’s something for you.
I did see the Nightingale. I was a big fan but not horror in my opinion
I also thought Annabelle Comes Home was terrific :-)
Always honest.
commenting this before i start the video: I really hope ready or not is on this list :)
yeah that did not last long hahaha that movie is nr 1 of 2019 for me
I wouldn’t dispute it
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 luckily we can all have difrent opinions ;)
a movie that will be on your 2020 list..... “come to daddy”... check it out ASAP
😁
Jason mate be wary of youtube friends messages its been on a lot of vids ive watched recently exact same message I think its a scam I seen it on one of your vids just a heads up : )
David Lawrence Graham I think I know which one you mean
@@sinistercinemareviews5420 ive seen it everywhere recently its got be a scam probably to entice people to tap on dodgy links would be my guess
"The Perefection"?..Seriously...who would trust a word you say
Your mom did
To me Midsommar and The Lighthouse were snubbed by the oscars. I still love the oscars I just hate what the academy has become.
