Whether you’re a lifelong horror hound or a new convert to the joys of the genre, it’s a good time to be a horror fan. Recent years have had something for everyone, and 2019 is showing no sign of letting us down yet. Here are the best horror films of the year so far.
Midsommar follows Dani, a young girl tagging along with her boyfriend and his friends to a remote Swedish village as it prepares for a rare midsummer festival. As you might expect, things escalate from there. Midsommar isn’t just horrifying — while there are some standard horror elements thrown in, the bulk of what makes the movie frightening is also what it has in common with Hereditary. It’s about guilt and grief and loss, and the entire film feels raw and unnerving.
This tale of a family encountering their own crazed, murderous doubles is even more layered and complex in its themes than Jordan Peele’s previous Get Out, and decidedly more ambitious. It’s intense, deeply original, and scary as heck. Us proves that Jordan Peele’s position as one of the most important creative voices of his generation is secure. Plus, the movie also proves definitively that Lupita Nyong’o is one of the greatest actors currently working.
