Best/Worst of 2013

2013 YEAR IN REVIEW

Best of 2013:

1.         V/H/S 2 (prob the best horror anthology film I’ve seen in a long long time and every single short was good)
2.         Prisoners (really more of a tie with V/H/S 2, it really comes close and should’ve been nominated for lots of Oscars)
3.         Blackfish
4.         Stoker (I didn’t even know Wentworth Miller wrote this until after the fact, the fact that I                     liked it so much and that he wrote it is awsum)
5.         The Way Way Back
6.         Stitches (had to put an evil clown flick on here, just had to)
7.         The Place Beyond the Pines
8.         Aftershock
9.         The Kings of Summer
10.       Insidious: Chapter 2 (as far as sequels go, this nailed it and yes I slightly enjoyed this more                 than The Conjuring)

Honorable Mentions:  Spring Breakers (dared to be different and succeeded); Nothing Left to Fear; Curse of Chucky; Dark Skies; This is the End; Resolution; Hello Herman; Monsters University; The Conjuring.

Worst of 2013:

1.         30 Nights of Paranormal Activity With the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (parodies are dead)
2.         Heebie Jeebies
3.         Upstream Color
4.         Antiviral
5.         Scary Movie V (did I mention that parodies are dead?)
6.         Escapee
7.         Berberian Sound Studio
8.         Apartment 1303
9.         Shiver
10.       Daddy, I’m a Zombie

Dishonorable Mentions:  Mischief Night; A Haunting at Silver Falls; The Dinosaur
Project; The Mooring; Love Me; Crush; The Wicked; Home Sweet Home; Unlucky
Charms; A Resurrection; Magic Magic.

Commentary:  These bad movies really are forgettable.  Most of the dishonorable mentions are drawing a blank after just 3 years!  I did like The Conjuring better after another viewing.  1/30/2017
