Last year was a very good one for the genre, full of films of all kinds, with very different stories that gave horror fans a wide variety of choices to enjoy on the big screen.

In addition to Smile, some other great blockbusters included Barbarian, Jordan Peele’s Nope, Scream V, and streaming exclusives such as Prey and the reboot of Hellraiser. Other notable titles from independent production companies were The Innocents, Nanny, Bull, Netflix’s The House, and X and Pearl, which are part of a trilogy that will come to an end with MaXXXine. MaXXXine is set to follow the story of the titular character, played by Mia Goth, who after surviving the events of X moves to Los Angeles to fulfill her dream of becoming a great actress.
