When it comes to ranking horror movies, scarier doesn’t always equal better. Sure, it’s a key component of an overall assessment, but a great horror film can be completely enthralling without employing blood, guts, torture, or jump scares. Of course, if you’re a regular reader of Dread Central, chances are you appreciate many diverse aspects of genre filmmaking, and promoting maximum fear brings legions of hardcore cinephiles endless glee.

Keep in mind, this doesn’t mean that these are the best genre flicks of last year, only that each contains a scene of extreme terror.
