25 Must See Horror Movies from 2014

The Cabining: Every few years we really need a comedic slasher that steers clear of the unexpected. The Cabining is that picture. Don’t get me wrong; there are some obvious cliches at work, but there’s also a certain degree of love invested in the film, and it pays off in stellar fashion. The cast is great, and believe it or not, the big reveal is also satisfying.
Oculus: A mindfuck of a film that blends reality with tormented childhood memories and a creepy supernatural presence. This is one of the year’s few commercially embraced films, and for as creepy and oddly cohesive as it is, it must be said that it was well worthy of the respect it pulled down from fans.
Septic Man: Septic Man arrived on the heels of big buzz. Then the chatter died away and a sizable portion of the genre community all but forgot the film. It’s worth remembering. There’s some pitch black comedy infused, but it’s more the general sensation of viewing a vintage mutation movie that really sucks the viewer in.
