10 Horror Movies To Watch Over The Weekend

10 Horror Movies To Watch Over The Weekend

If you're one of those weirdos who likes to watch nightmare-inducing movies for fun, then hi! Welcome! You've come to the right place!

While 2022 has already been kind of a living nightmare, Hollywood has decided to release a whole bunch of freaky new movies to ensure we never sleep again.

 Now, without further ado, let's ensure that you're sleeping with the lights on until at least November, or maybe 2023.

1. The Sadness

Made in Taiwan by Canadian filmmaker Rob Jabbaz, The Sadness is an incredibly violent and gory movie about a couple trying to reunite during a viral outbreak.

In a situation somewhat similar to The Crazies (1973 and 2010), a highly infectious virus is causing people to lose their minds and act on their darkest and most vile impulses.

The heart of the story resides with Kat (Regina Lei) and her boyfriend Jim (Berant Zhu) as they try to survive long enough to meet up and escape the city after being separated from each other.

The biggest draws of The Sadness are the practical gore effects and the film’s relentlessly mean and nasty aesthetic.

2. X

Ti West, writer and director of X, knows how to create the perfect balance between smart and trashy in a horror movie.

is a slasher movie set in Texas in 1979 about a group of young filmmakers making a porn movie in the guest house of a remote farmhouse.

The house is owned by an elderly couple, and after the couple discovers what is happening on their property, the film crew is in for a disturbingly violent night.

delivers lurid fun and thrills reminiscent of a 1970s exploitation movie, but it also spends time building all of the characters in smart ways so no one feels expendable.

It’s very bloody and violent, but it also has heart and pathos. really is brilliant horror filmmaking.

3. Prey

By taking the Predator franchise into the past, Prey creates a movie that reinvigorates the series with a “back to basics” approach.

Set in the Great Plains in 1719, Prey follows Naru (Amber Midthunder), a woman who wants to prove that she can be a great hunter.

When a Predator arrives from outer space, Naru is thrown into the hunt of her life as the alien monster makes trophies out of her people’s warriors and anyone else who falls within its laser sights.

Prey is an exhilarating action-horror movie with clever plotting that builds Naru’s story into an exciting, non-stop adventure that unfolds in a completely satisfying way.

4. Scream 5

Scream was the first big horror hit of 2022. Released in January, Scream captured the collective imaginations of old and new fans alike by wonderfully honouring the legacy of the franchise while sending it in a new direction.

Neve Campbell (Sidney), David Arquette (Dewey), and Courtney Cox (Gale) returned in support of a great new cast including Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera as sisters Tara and Sam Carpenter.

If you’ve ever been a fan of a Scream movie and haven’t seen Scream (2022) yet, you should. It’s also a good jumping-on point for people new to the franchise.

5. See For Me

See For Me is a tense home-invasion thriller with a very interesting twist. Sophie is a blind young woman who is house-sitting when a group of burglars, thinking the house is empty, break-in.

Sophie does her best to avoid trouble by sneaking through the unfamiliar house with the help of an online service that helps blind people “see” by connecting them with a live operator who uses a cell phone camera to help them navigate.

It may sound like a gimmicky plot device, but it works surprisingly well in the movie.

6. The Cursed

Director Sean Ellis brought a fresh spin on the mechanics of a werewolf movie in The Cursed.

While the overall story of a mysterious beast plaguing a small town in the 1800s will feel familiar to anyone who has ever seen a classic werewolf film, the beast itself is approached in a unique way.

To say how the werewolves in The Cursed operate would spoil the movie, and fans of beautifully shot horror with haunting imagery should give this movie a watch.

The story isn’t entirely unpredictable, especially towards the end, but it’s still a solid horror film.

7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a brutally violent and excessively gory slasher movie.

The plot involves a group of idealistic young people who journey to the small town of Harlow, Texas in an attempt to gentrify the area, but they, unfortunately, pick the town Leatherface has been hiding in for decades.

Leatherface is a solitary, unstoppable monster, which makes for a fun slasher movie, even if it doesn’t necessarily feel much of anything like the movie from 1974 it’s supposed to follow.

8. Nope

Writer/director Jordan Peele created another thought-provoking hit with Nope.

The story involves a brother and sister (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer) whose father dies in an inexplicable accident.

With the family business going under, they decide to document evidence of a UFO they’ve seen hovering around their isolated family home in an attempt to sell the footage for profit.

As with Jordan Peele’s previous movies, Get Out (2017) and Us (2019), not everything is as it seems at first.

Steven Yuen, Michael Wincott, and Keith David are also featured in this movie that has layers upon layers of meaning, while at the same time being a fun spectacle that works just as well as a science-fiction creature feature.

9. No Exit

Released in February, this thriller revolves around a college student who gets stuck in a blizzard during a trip home.

Luckily, she isn't alone, as she's stranded along with a group of others...but as it turns out, one of the people among them is a kidnapper.

10. You Are Not My Mother

When her bedridden mother goes missing, Char is understandably disturbed, but when she returns, things get increasingly erratic and frightening.

The title alone should give you a dark hint at what's to come here.
