The Best Horror Movies of 2025 list is here. As always, another year means another descent into darkness.
2025 delivered a wildly varied horror lineup: grief-soaked nightmares, razor-sharp thrillers, monster revivals, AI anxieties, holiday slashers, and genre-bending experiments that laughed while drawing blood. As always, we watched everything with the lights off and our critical knives sharpened.
Bonus info: In 2025, we reviewed 385 genre movies and series!
