I watched a lot of great films this year, but these are the top 10. Just like my top reads of 2021, they are in no particular order and weren't necessarily released this year.
| 1. The Shout This hidden gem from the 70s completely surprised me. Amazing acting with a unique premise. I can't believe more people don't talk about this movie. |  |
| 2. The Lie Edge of your seat, screaming at the TV kind of movie. It makes you ask the question "What would you do?". |  |
| 3. Birdemic: Shock and Terror If you love to watch bad movies with a friend, it really doesn't get better than this. I laughed nonstop while watching it with my co-host of PaleoCheeze Podcast. You've gotta see this with your B-movie buddy. |  |
| 4. The Clovehitch Killer Super tense. A great coming-of-age thriller. |  |
| 5. Leatherface Let's face it. This franchise is loaded with stinkers, and I had low expectations going into this one. What I got was so much different than your average TCM movie. This was a gory action thriller epic in size. |  |
| 6. Halloween Kills If you know me, you know Michael is my favorite killer. I knew there would be stuff I didn't like about this movie, but when the franchise is loaded with as many rotten eggs as this one, all it really takes is getting the mask right and some great edits. (So far only 2 movies have gotten the mask right since the first two originals: 2018 and Kills). When this finally came out, I think I was smiling the whole time watching it. |  |
| 7. Lake Mungo Two things got this movie on the list: The subtlety and the acting. I've never seen acting this good in a found footage movie. |  |
| 8. Midnight Mass (mini series) Great dialogue, acting, and concept. And to think it's actually a love story when it comes down to it. |  |
| 9. Come True This is not a movie you can turn your brain off with. You need to be paying attention to every detail. And you're probably going to want to watch it at least a few times. I did. One of the best soundtracks I've heard in a while. Also, we got a chance to hang out with the director Anthony Scott Burns for an episode of PaleoCheeze Podcast. (Episode airing soon). |  |
| 10. Caveat One of Shudder's best. Great concept, creepy atmosphere. |  |
