I love that you are unapologetic about your opinions and what you want/don't want to review. You're absolutely valid for setting boundaries for YOUR channel. It's inspiring to see you do this (coming from someone who has a hard time setting boundaries themselves). Keep up the great videos, Sarah.
thank you so much!
For sure. Ignore the butthurt, it's Sarah's house.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 Exactly!
@@pablodelsegundo9502 “Sarah’s House” I love that.
I love your channel! Just be yourself its your channel and your opinions I love it.
Malignant rips im totally in the first category, i love how the bits of pieces of the mystery come together and it felt like a comic book including the over the top acting. I have watched some giallo but Im not like a massive fan by any means, it reminds me more of like xmen or watchmen which I adore
Same, I'm coming from the 80's schlock/Basket Case perspective. I do love this channel's perspective though, and ownership of the other side of the Malignant reaction.
it’s camp, it’s slay, AND it’s yass
That police station build up was great i loved that movie.
Fr Malignant is amazing!
We do not share the same taste(s) in horror. That being said, I love that you have a different perspective on the films I've seen, and it makes me see them through a different lens. Discussion on the genre is always a good thing, and gatekeepers can eat it. Thanks for the vid, Sarah! Happy New Year!
Personally, I think 2021 was a pretty good year for horror! There were a lot of solid movies that came out this year! I'm curious to see what your thoughts are!
I think halloween was the best tehe
Last Night in Soho was my favorite horror movie of 2021, to the point where I think it will become one of my comfort horror movies that I watch at least once a year.
sameeee
Agreed
I initially liked it, although I thought it was style over substance, except for one scene that I hated. Then someone pointed out that every woman in it is one dimensional and either a sex object/ victim, or a psycho. Now I think I might just hate it.
@@JebeckyGranjola i mean edgar wright is known for more stylized movies, so that didnt bother me too much, as for the women being sex objects/victims, i mean the main plot revolves around a woman forced into prostituion, so i cant really see how they can tell that story without the main characters being victims, there wasnt a lot of female characters, but i argue that there wasnt a lot of characters in general, a lot of the movie is the main character kinda obsessing by herself
@@JebeckyGranjola you will upset the Wright fanboys. Imo he's made ....okay movies which I simply don't understand why people think they are great. His documentary of the group Sparks is probably his best film
I loved Malignant but I definitely think it's not for everyone haha. Last Night in Soho is the best of 2021 for me, and I 100% agree with you about The Unholy being the worst.
is Last Night in Soho categorized as a Horror film . . . JEEEEEZ
I completely forgot I had even seen The Unholy until she started describing the plot
Malignant was like a two movie put together and to me it didnt work so much. I liked the first part cause it was kind of giallo movie, but then it had horrible ending twist. I would have wanted to be more of a kin to dark half.
Last night in soho was beautiful. Diana Rigg, rest her soul, was perfect. I loved to see 1600s witch turned chess prodigy continue to be just a great actress!
@@lemonoujia4534 SAME HERE!
Yes. The original Escape Room instantly became a comfort movie for my family. My oldest son and I love watching it together and never get sick of it no matter how often we watch it. Didn't bother with the second one
How you feel about Soho is how I feel about Night House. Ive never gotten actual physical chills from a movie till I saw Night House. Ive seen it probably 5 times since it came out.
Night House is fking awful lmao. This entire list is a joke
@@Digger-Nick well your screen name says it all. Xoxo 😘
I'm gonna watch Night House because of your comment. Keep meaning to watch it. Hoping for a good flick. 2021 has been a horrible year for Horror.
I was shocked at how much I enjoyed Night House, though I've loved Rebecca Hall for a long time so I knew she'd be good.
I totally agree with the nighthouse! It's such a solid movie and I can't wait to rewatch it 😊
Hi
I’m so glad I started watching your channel. This video alone introduced me to so many great movies that I hadn’t heard of before! ❤️
Your commentary definitely shows how much our expectations can sway our opinions. It’s so hard to not get excited about movies we’ve been looking forward.
I’d love a video on trailers that have been misleading.
Oh and Happy New Year!!
Glad I found your channel. Been looking for a genuine channel like this one. Doesn’t hurt to see a beautiful face at the same time. A lot of movies on this list I’m about to watch because of you. Keep shining 💐
I loved Old too!! I felt like I was in the minority with that one. I love your videos. Thanks for all the work you do and Happy New Year!
Enjoyed Malignant especially towards the end, I was like oh so it's that kind of movie. Old was just boring. M Night is a hack legend. Good idea but poorly executed with horrible dialogue. H Kills had decent kills but it was just a mess. Candyman? Its shot well especially the critic's death but I didn't care for the characters and it wasn't scary. They focused too much on social commentary that they forgot to make a horror movie. The original had that but it was subtle. You cared about Helen and it had a creepy atmosphere.
Couldn't have put it better myself
I assume you know that Shyamalan did not write Old
H kills also had pretty bad dialogue
Favorite channel forever and ever. I love how unapologetic you've become. ❤
I really appreciate you differentiating between quality and entertainment!! So many people don't include entertainment value or just lump the two together, as if shit quality movies can't be enjoyable (when they're secretly the best in my opinion lol)
Censor, Malignant, and Last Night in Soho were three different takes on (at least partially) Giallo style horror and I liked how they were able to take those stylistic elements and create something unique in each case. Soho is probably the most successful film, though I love Censor for its psychological twists and I think Malignant was a lot of fun.
sarah you need to watch The Wailing on amazon prime! so underrated and so good!
You look like you're absolutely GLOWING rn! Loving the unapologetic content lately, and I'm always here for your opinion even if I occasionally disagree. Thank you for being you, Sarah!
Almost 200k!! Lets get it 💞
Watching bad movies is so fun. As long as they’re bad in the right way hahah. My boyfriend and I watched Apex the other day (more thriller than horror I think), and it was probably the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. 0/5. But also entertaining. 😂
yes this exactly!!
I'm so glad you chose The Night House!!!! I absolutely loved everything about it!
It’s really crazy to me how we consistently have very similar opinions on the horror movies you review. This list would match mine if I made one almost completely. Loved this video!!
I watched Last night in Soho on Christmas because of how passionately you talked about it in one of your previous videos! I can see why you enjoyed it so much, it was worth the wait and def one of my favs of 2021!
Love this kind of "End of the year"- ranking type of thing! so many movies on your list I've yet to watch and enjoy! Hope this becomes a yearly thing on your channel!
I always look forward to your videos even though sometimes we have different opinions. It makes life interesting. And sometimes you bring up points that I couldn't quite find words for and that's always nice. I hope 2022 is fantastic for you! Personally and in media.
Thanks for this! I personally loved Fear Street and hated Old but love hearing your personal opinion on these!
Congrats on 200K 😄😄😄
Ok, had to pause the video to comment. Applauds for allowing yourself to be unapologetic on voicing your opinion on your channel. For those that get pissed off will most likely still get upset with or without apologies and disclaimers... and those of us who value your opinion don't need them. Now back to watching the rest of the video. :)
Preach, exactly! It is her opinion and people need to respect that. I love her videos and this one!
Come True had me absolutely mesmerized right up to the very end, which felt like a cheap kick in the junk. How can a film introduce such a cool concept as the shadow people ...then go absolutely nowhere with the shadow people? It was almost as if all the interesting directions the story could have gone was too overwhelming for the writer, who just decided "I better just wrap this thing up right frigging now, my laptop only has 2% battery left and my flight to the Bahamas departs in five minutes."
Watch it again but with Carl Jungs idea of Collective Conscious. It's very psychological. I don't want to ruin the ending but I could write an essay on this film
@@menllenium5150 Why would a person who didnt like the film watch it again? For me Come True wasnt even horror...too slow scifi
@@atomiccritter6492 cause I have watched hundreds of films I didn't like on first viewing and totally changed my mind on a repeat screening. Plus this is the type of movie that if it goes over your head you won't like it, but with a little guidance it might make more sense upon rewatch. That's all, didn't mean any harm to you.
@@menllenium5150 fair enough
Thissss this is the kind of content I was waiting for!! God I love your videos! I remember finding you on CZcams 2 years ago when I was looking for horror movie suggestions and your suggestions have never seemed to disappoint me! Keep doing what you are doing 💜
Always be unapologetic and authentic, you're so sweet how can anyone be angry 😂 I don't agree with your choices sometimes but I always watch and you point me towards new horrors, I've not heard of many of these that have come out so thankyou!
great list as always 😄 titane was my favorite of the year but it’s definitely not for everyone. i also loved old and malignant
Loved Titane, only The Night House exceeded it. Luckily I saw both in the theater.
Very happy to see you put Halloween Kills in the best section!
That movie gave me everything i wanted as a Halloween fan and the kills were amazing. I have seen others say it was mediocre but i will defend this movie until the end of time. It was a great movie to watch and its definitely my favorite in the franchise
I 100% agree. The script isn’t the best but the film knocks it out of the park in everything else especially in the score, the acting, the kills, James Jude Courtney as Michael, the flashbacks, and cinematography. Kills is one of the better Halloween films and got me even more excited for Ends
Absolutely agreed.
@@tparkerevans7165 best acting? The guy from the breakfast club playing Tommy was laughable, and evil dies tonight becomes a meme its said so much. You have to have more than good kills for a slasher to be enjoyable in my opinion, the score is literally the same as every other Halloween movie. I'm glad you liked it, because I was so hyped for it but it's definitely bottom tier Halloween for me. I enjoy resurrection with busta rhymes more than I did Halloween kills.
@@brandon17760 Tommy’s dialogue has more to do with the writing than the actor’s performance. Resurrection is unwatchable for me while Kills is in my top 5 but to each own
Agreed! This movie was my favorite of the year! I still listen to the soundtrack today😍
Yesss!! I’ve been waiting for this video!!!
This channel is awesome!
Just watched "the novice" and absolutely loved it. Such an intense amazing film..thanks for the recommendation!
Love the movies you love and don’t queen!! Everyone has different opinions abs that’s what do great with being able to watch different people and get out of a comfort zone!
Found you cus I needed a review for Night house but then subscribed. Good work and keep it up
Sick right now and your videos make me happy❤️ don’t think you should ever have to apologize for your opinions everybody is different the people who get mad are trolls
Halloween Kills had incredible action because of the insane, brutal and gory deaths. Definitely the best deaths out of all the Halloween Michael Myers movies
Im glad you liked HK but I thought it was the worst horror film this year along side Mortal Kombat.
@@zacgale4231 I'm with you. Absolutely atrocious. Worst script of the year right next to Old. Literally felt like an 8 year old wrote it. Jamie Lee Curtis was in the movie for maybe 90 seconds. Terrible characters. This movie takes stupid characters in horror movies to a whole other level. The scene with the girl shooting the gun in the car might legitimately be one of the worst scenes I have ever seen. This movie had no story. The gore was co but that's it. Worst ending of a movie I have ever seen. Felt like I got absolutely scammed out of $12 and an hour and a half of my life. I'm not seeing the next one in theaters🤣 not giving my money to these people again lmao
@@zacgale4231 mortal kombat!!! That movie was so good in my opinion, I loved it. Halloween kills was pretty decent, but I prefer the older Halloween movies
@@radzzy1563 I agree with everything you said.. Old was also awful but I’d rather watch that again over HK.
i would LOVE to see a list of dinner party horror/thriller movies. EX. The Invitation, Coherence, Would You Rather, Silent Night
Its a sub-sub genre that i LOVE
the fact i like about ur videos is there are no silly intro or annoying starting!❤️
I just found your channel and I freaking LOVE you!
You should definitely read the book version of “We Need to Do Something”! It was one of my favorites of 2021. I can’t speak for the movie though since I haven’t seen it. That could be a cool comparison video! :)
I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONEEE
I am such a huge fan of you and your channel! Being a horror fanatic myself but with not a lot of time on my hands I always turn to your reviews to sway my choice in what I watch next because I feel like we have a lot of the same opinions. I LOVE 2000’s cheesy teen horror for starters, and I’ve noticed in the past you’ve mentioned that you don’t like movies that are trying to be too artsy fartsy, but you appreciate authentic artistic direction, and I’m the exact same way! I definitely have some new horror movies to catch up on thanks to you😂 much love, from one horror fan to another🙌🏼💙
Great video, very entertaining and I love your list. Keep up the good work!
We def have similar opinions. I was also very surprised at how much I liked Theres Someone Inside Your House and Paranormal Activity Next Of Kin. I also really liked Last Night in SoHo. But The Night House was AMAZING and by far my favorite horror movie of the entire year. Gave me chills at some points watching it and I am soooo glad I chose to go see it in the theater. Can't wait to rewatch it!!
I agreed with a lot of this! Last night in soho is probs my fave but I actually really liked Devil Made me do it and its my fave conjuring film now. Have you saw Jeruzalem? i have a feeling you might like it, its a found footage film and kind of gave me some cloverfield vibes
I have to wait until the end of January for nightmare alley but i'm so excited. You had some awesome picks in your top favourites. My favourites were Titane, Last night in Soho, The night house and saint maud
Great videos. Keep it up!
Oh man, I was so bummed by Halloween Kills. I was super hyped because I love those movies to bits. I rewatch H20 every year. But my brother ruined it for me, he would not stop groaning and complaining the whole way through. I probably should have watched it alone and saved myself the aggravation. Other than that, now I have like 20 new movies to watch. Thanks!
Surprisingly, I found Last Night in Soho to be middle of the road. I think it’s because I expected more horror from it but it didn’t deliver imo. The Night House is such a good movie! Definitely a top 5 of the year. Antlers pissed me off SO bad. I watched it after your review just to get an idea and yeah that movie sucked. Thanks Sarah for always providing us with amazing content 😄
I must have been living under a rock, I haven’t heard of most of these 🤯 I have so much to watch now! Thank you 😊 also, Night House was AMAZING!!
Thnx for your recommendations, I've got a lot to catch up on!💀👍🏼
The night house was my favorite of the year. Candyman, Malignant (reminds me of basket case) , Last night in soho, were all great too!
I remember being exited to watch Old, but while watchin it, it felt awkward to me maybe it was the acting that felt forced, or maybe the movie was to rushed (pun not intended)! Overal I felt underwhelmed with the movie!
Nice video and than you for your suggestions i'm gonna watch a couple of them!
unfortunately I didn't see many horror movies this year, but the first quiet place was my 2nd favorite film of all time, so of course i was hyped out of my mind for part II, and it delivered exactly what i wanted and more. its now my 2nd favorite film of all time and the 1st is my 3rd lol. awesome video sarah, i'm so glad to see you doing videos more often.
turn the list 50% around and i agree 🤣🤣 so it was a year for all flavors, i think thats great!
happy new year
I have been blessed to be obsessed with Malignant lol. You know what it is? As I get older, and also probably because of the stress of the pandemic, I have grown to appreciate the over-the-top, the ridiculous, and the absurd in my entertainment.
So although The Night House is a very close second place for me, I’d honestly rather re-watch SLAXX.
I love how honest and real you are with reviews❤️
i LOVE your unapologetic reviews
Awesome list! I still need to watch Old and Nightmare Alley!
I love your honest opinions, it’s really enjoyable to watch someone who doesn’t go with the mainstream all the time :)
I honestly haven’t watched a lot of horror movies that came out in 2021, but I personally liked the fear street trilogy
Hey, just wanted to thank you for all the good recommendations. For what I've seen, we seem to have a pretty similar taste in movies, so I always come to your channel for new movies to watch, and never get disappointed. Thanks!
Love hearing your opinions on these movies, also my go-to way to figure out what to watch next! Also nice to see someone giving love to Last Night in Soho!! The people I watched it with only trashed it after it finished, but man was it amazing! The staircase scene is probably the first time in theatres I've ever been in complete awe at a movie! Also as someone who was 18 (a teen) watching Fear Street it instantly became one of my favorites (especially watching the third instantly after the first two), so you may be onto something about a movie marketed towards teens lol
i've commented before about respecting your opinions even when they heavily differ from my own, but again it just makes me love watching you so much more!!! my top movies of the year are Candyman, Antlers, Saint Maud, VHS 94 and my least favourite were The Conjuring: TDMMDI, Oxygen and Old (which weirdly disturbed me and i'm still not too sure why) Happy 2022 Sarah!!! 💕
The Night House was my favorite film by far this year! It was the first movie in 5 years to genuinely terrify my at points. I could actually feel my heart racing and I found myself holding my breath. I love this movie and agree with you 100%
I love watching your channel because our opinions are always so different lol
Heres my list 💕💕
1. Titane
2. Malignant
3.Nightmare Alley
4. Last Night in Soho
5. Oxygen
6. Antlers
7.The Green Knight
8. Till Death
9.Candyman
10. VHS 94
(yes some are more thriller/drama idc lol)
Great video! Would love to see a most anticipated horror of 2022
that’s coming Friday!!
Evening, Sarah. Love your critiques. Especially your top horror selections. I’d like to hear your opinion on the movie Separation.
Yessss! I love your opinions, even when I disagree! That’s what’s so awesome about horror, it’s subjective. I also LOVED Halloween and hated Malignant with a boiling passion. :)
Last night on soho was such a shock to me at how amazing it was. I was drawn in to the story immediately and was totally invested the entire time. Definitely in my top five of this year if not of all time
my favorite was malignant and the worst was definitely last night in soho for me or the new candyman haha. i really both enjoyed old and paranormal activity though, which i was surprised about. the night house is middle of the road for me! happy new years sarah. hope 2022 is good to you so far :)
Doooood. Trubill is a lifesaver. Its helped me so much over this last year.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite from 2021 is Malignant. That movie is so original, I loved it. I agree with you about Halloween Kills. And About The Conjuring, I was hoping more, it isn't so good like the others (1 and 2)
Conjuring 2 was already worse than the first part imo
I’m so excited for the new Scream
I love where you ranked everything! I still need to watch Last Night in Soho and you have me so stoked for it.
Finally.... Our ratings were the same!! Subscribed!
Antlers I actually really loved but I loved your review on it so much. I understood every point you made. I had 0 knowledge or hype for it (I didn’t hear about it until it was in the theater somehow? I missed it idk) and I think it was mismarketed as a scary horror when it was a dark maybe gothic drama mystery at best?
Malignant I really didn’t like. It was cool yeah but I just didn’t dig it either. I also have FOMO because I just didn’t click with it but I’m happy it has an audience! There’s something for everyone.
I'm really behind in my movie watching for last year. I saw Halloween Kills in the theater and had a good time. I plan on watching all of your Top 5 and some of the others when I get a chance. I'll probably watch Antlers and Malignant to see what my opinion is. Thanks, Sarah! P.S. : Read Wylding Hall, it's brilliant!
Anthers is probably one of the worst movies I've seen, and I'm not that hard to please when it comes to this genre.
@shortnstuby is it a Del Toro's film? I like him, especially Pan's labyrinth and Shape of water! ☺️
( I guess " creature feature " horror isn't for me )
I like creatures but not in horrors
Listen-Last Night In Soho is the only horror movie I rewatched this year. (twice in a week) And I got close to rewatching Old as well. I love that we have connected during that part of this video. Also, SO happy you talked about Oxygen! It's underrated imo and I wish more people in our community would talk about it. I'm a little biased being an Alexandre Aja stan, but aside from the acting, that movie is such an achievement in directing.
Silent Night disturbed me so bad it surprised me, def top of my 2021. Thanks for the videos!
I really enjoyed watching the movie FRANK back in October. I still need to check out Krsy Fox’s new film: I LIVE ALONE. I’m all for Bonnie Aarons playing a serial killer. 🔪
Scariest movie of the year for me was The Dark and the Wicked. This was creepier then any other movie I seen. This movie is about the devil coming for a dying mans soul. His family is by his side and alot of scary shit starts happenning. This movie is a hidden gem of horror. Everyone who like The Witch, shpuld check this movie out. The psychological horror is outstanding.
I can't believe I JUST realized that you're an MCR fan! They're my favorite band and I just never saw the Bullets cover in the background
I absolutely love ur content. Just found yoiu through reccomendations and I agree with most of the movies you have seen
I know from one of your previous videos that you've been looking for more space horror, I am almost done with The Silent Sea on Netflix and since you said you like water based, you should give this show a shot
Generally I agree with your list! Hated Old though. I was VERY excited for it and the acting/dialog really ruined it for me. It could have been a great movie differently casted with a better script.
old was soooooo bad i actually hated watching it
I thought the acting was really realistic. Maybe not that compelling to watch compared to other horror films, but most of our conversations in real life would be kinda boring to watch and I kinda like the hyper-realistic approach (besides the portrayal of schizophrenia). Idk, interesting to hear different opinions on it.
@@virqueenia9519 I agree. It instantly became one of my most hated movies. So much that I skipped her talking about it because I just don't care to ever hear about it again.
@@budgetgamingna2003 im glad we can agree!! it had nothing good about it rlly... i just wanted it to be over lmao i wouldve stopped watching it if i was by myself
Happy new year!
I agree, you are always trying to apologize for your opinion, and you shouldn't, this is your space. I'm glad you will try not to do that as much
God I love coming to here and getting your recommendations!
Love Unapologetic opinions, especially when it comes to movies. That’s how we learn from each other!
I thought Candyman was the most underwhelming horror of the year. I had such high hopes for it but at the end I was like "that's it?"
I love and admire how unapologetic you are about your tastes and opinions! Our favourites should be the ones we get enjoyment and entertainment out of. I'm also so happy to find a fellow Last Night in Soho lover. By far my favourite film of the year!! I've bought the soundtrack on vinyl because it's so wonderful.
Thanks for the reviews on these horror and gory horror films.
Imagine hating Malignant. Y'crazy!!??? jk I understand how you could dislike it. Mostly because I don't really understand why I love it so much.
yeah it was one of the best horrors ive ever seen this chick is crazy lol
The scariest scene in Last Night in Soho was the one which, in reality, would be interpreted as a black man (wrongfully perceived to be) committing SA against a white woman. She's screaming, "No! Get off! You're killing her!" while they are having sex. I was so worried he would be killed or arrested, bc that is what would happen in that situation. Instead, the film frames this as no one having any awareness of this perception of the event or possible outcome. We are supposed to sympathize with the woman for seeing a spoopy ghost, and the man just shrugs that ordeal off and says the next day, "sorry if I did something to upset you."
I liked your list. One thing that is important to know is that negative comments is a part of life. It must never affect you or us. They are opinions we can read and move on from. Once they are read they are in the past. To have a balance we need the positive along with the negative.
Do I have COVID? Yes. But am I teleworking? Also yes. But is this a video by PossessedbyHorror that is not only a ranking video (my favorite kind), but also a video that starts with feline mischief? GIRL YES. Made my day 🥰
hope you feel better soon! 🖤
@@PossessedbyHorror thank you!! 😁 It’s not too bad now, thankfully. Stay safe!
