      I have to disagree. I'm not a fan of A24 (so there goes a couple of them), and a lot of the movies were terrible or overrated/over hyped. But what do I know? I'm one of the few that liked Halloween Ends. Probably the only good horror movies of the year were Halloween Ends and The Black Phone. The rest I didn't care for and stuff. But I feel my opinion doesn't matter and I shouldn't be allowed to have one since I liked Halloween Ends.

      I thought I would be one of those that would throw up while watching Terrifier 2, but I ended up handling the movie fine. I had to stop the brain surgery scene in Saw 3 about 2-3 times because I came close to throwing up (and I was sweating like crazy, which probably had to do with me fighting back the urge to throw up). Terrifier 2 though, the only time I stopped it was to use the bathroom quickly (had been drinking a lot of Coke and water throughout the day and it finally caught up to me while watching the movie). And I stopped/paused the movie during a section of the movie where it was all just "downtime" or dialogue heavy scenes. I didn't pause during a kill/death scene. And all I had to do while watching Terrifier 2 was look away for a second or two, or just use some kind of peripheral vision. I never felt like I needed to throw up or anything. So once again, I had to call BS on all these claims. The movie really wasn't that bad. I also want to say that I think I saw worse in the Saw movies or the Hellraiser movies (definitely first three Hellraiser movies) or the girl getting sliced in half in the first Terrifier was more graphic. Also, I think I was able to handle Terrifier 2 since it was so ridiculous and over the top that it wasn't all that disgusting and more cartoon-y. Stuff like Saw and Hellraiser are trying to be graphic in a serious way.

    The Black Phone is a modern horror classic, and in my opinion the best horror movie of 2022. Ethan Hawke is FANTASTIC as The Grabber. His performance is bone-chilling. Whenever he was on screen, I was on the edge of my seat. I also love that the film is more of a suspenseful thriller than your average jump-scare horror flick.

    Once the killer is revealed in Barbarian, that's when I started to fall apart for me. The entire movie seemed so real up to that point but the fact that an extremely inbred human had the same strength as a marvel villain quickly put this film into the same light as Malignant for me. Terrifier 2, X and Pearl were my top picks and if The Menu was considered horror, that would easily be above Barbarian as well.

      @@exit2exist676 I personally loved smile cause how creepy and effective some of the jumpscares are. In fact the movie made me cry for Rose cause I knew this wasn’t gonna end well for her but was rooting for her to find happiness.
      I liked the soundtrack too it elevated the fear. The characters were well written and it had good acting.
      I also liked the messaging of the movie too it served as a metaphor for someone control over their mental health when their being beaten down so much by their own trauma, and how people cover their sadness and internal struggles with fake smiles because of society pressures.
      I generally thought of the creature as a symbol of depression because the creature never really hurt rose physically instead it broke her down to the point of giving up which often happens in real life with suicide. We try to fight our battle on our own with mental health instead of together and sometimes end up losing.
      Smiles whole curse is like trauma being passed on to others who are also emotionally hurt. All the victims have seen someone die close to them. Smile is amazingly crafted with heart but with such a devastating and tragic end.

      Pretty much every horror movie in 2022 was called the scariest movie of the year. None of them were scary, or even memorable. If I had to pick good ones, then maybe Halloween Ends and The Black Phone. Yeah. Halloween Ends. I read spoilers ahead of time and knew what I was getting into, and was able to be patient with the movie. But I will say that maybe it shouldn't have been the third movie in a trilogy. Kills and Ends probably should've swapped plots. But I still liked the movie.

      Hellraiser was ok, it felt like an actual Hellraiser movie for a change, not just having some Hellraiser elements sprinkled in. What I didn't like is design of new Cenobites, the whole fleshy thing didn't really work for me, it made them kinda dull to look at due to being monotonous color (despite actually being detailed) and they always felt like bunch of dudes in rubber suits. The old bdms leather look was way cooler, but I guess they purposely change it to differentiate it from old series.
      I also didn't like that you can become victim of Cenobites here by accident, every character except main villain became victim by accidentally stabbing or starching themselves on puzzle box's HIDDEN blade. This is complete opposite of what happens in original series and novela, you actually had to have desire to meet them, this is basically how you solve the puzzle box.
