Best Horror Films Of 2013
My favourite horror films *released* in 2013.
I've given every film on this list at least a 6/10, so I recommend them all.
The list in in a vague order, starting with the better ones.
Many really good horror films made in 2013 weren't actually released until 2014 (Horns, Afflicted, The Sacrament, etc.) so appear on that years list.

- RegistaJonathan LevineStelleNicholas HoultTeresa PalmerJohn MalkovichUno zombi molto insolito salva da un attacco una ragazza che vive ancora, e tutti e due, formano una relazione che mette in moto eventi che potrebbero trasformare l'intero mondo senza vita.Surprsingly good zom-rom-com, but don't let the romance aspect put you off! Even the most hardened of horror fans should be able to get something out of this, it's genuinely funny, the zombies are well done and there's a decent amount pathos to round out the film.
- RegistaNeil JordanStelleSaoirse RonanGemma ArtertonSam RileyI residenti di una città costiera apprendono, con conseguenze mortali, il segreto condiviso dalle due donne misteriose che hanno cercato rifugio in un resort locale.Really good vampire-drama. Reminded me of a less glossy Interview With The Vampire, so if that sounds good to you then this is a must watch - I thought it was brilliant! Be warned; the pace is pretty slow (there's far more drama here than horror) so it won't be for everyone.
Released in the UK in May 2013. - RegistaPark Chan-wookStelleMia WasikowskaNicole KidmanMatthew GoodeDopo la morte del padre, suo zio Charlie, di cui non ha mai saputo l'esistenza, verrà a vivere con lei e la madre. Nasce così in lei il sospetto che quest'uomo misterioso e affascinante abbia ulteriori motivi.A mystery-thriller with some light horror elements. Beautifully shot with some good performances and a memorable ending. Well worth a watch.
- RegistaPaul HyettStelleRosie DaySean PertweeKevin HowarthSold at a brothel deep in the woods to work as a caretaker, a hapless deaf girl must summon the courage to fight for her life.Occasionally brutal kidnapping film. Uncomfortable viewing but very well made and extremely engaging, I'm not sure if I've ever rooted so hard for a protagonist!
Released in the UK in June 2013 - RegistaJames WanStellePatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonEd e Lorraine Warren, investigatori del paranormale, sono chiamati ad aiutare una famiglia terrorizzata da una spaventosa presenza in una casa isolata, in quella che sarà l'indagine più impegnativa della loro carriera.I was expecting just another mediocre, studio-funded horror film - jumpscares and all - but this has some real class. While the general premise is nothing groundbreaking, it's the quality execution that helps this film shine. Well acted, a good atmosphere and some creepy moments.
- RegistaDon CoscarelliStelleChase WilliamsonRob MayesPaul GiamattiUna nuova droga di strada che invia i suoi utenti attraverso il tempo ha uno svantaggio: alcune persone non tornano più umane. Due abbandoni universitari possono salvare l'umanità da questa silenziosa invasione ultraterrena?A quirky, odd, off-beat comedy with some horror and sci-fi elements. I really enjoyed it, but if you're looking for a traditional horror film you probably won't find what you're looking for here. That said, if you're up for something a little different and fancy a laugh, this is a really good film!
Released in the US in January 2013 - RegistaJaume BalagueróStelleLuis TosarMarta EturaAlberto San JuanCi si sveglia giorno dopo giorno nella comodità e nella sicurezza della propria casa. Ma è davvero sicuro?A very different kind of horror film, definitely something a little different.
A unique premise with some creepy moments and even some humour.
Released in the US & UK in 2013 - RegistiAharon KeshalesNavot PapushadoStelleLior AshkenaziRotem KeinanTzahi GradDopo che una bambina è stata brutalmente assassinata, un sospetto evita l'arresto per mancanza di prove. Lavorando separatamente, suo padre e un poliziotto decidono di fare qualcosa.A darkly comic kidnap/torture film in the vein of '7 Days' and 'The Tortured' - it's not as powerful or brutal as 7 Days but it's far better than The Tortured.
Really well made and it kept me guessing right until the end. - RegistaAdam WingardStelleSharni VinsonJoe SwanbergAJ BowenQuando la famiglia Davison viene attaccata durante la fuga per il loro anniversario di matrimonio, la banda di assassini misteriosi viene presto a sapere che una delle vittime ha un talento segreto per combattere.Really solid home invasion thriller / horror. I can't see any horror fan not liking this, a least a little bit! It's well paced, well acted, has good production values, doesn't hold back on the nasty bits and keeps the tension high throughout.
Released in the US in August 2013. - RegistiJustin BensonAaron MoorheadStellePeter CilellaVinny CurranEmily MontagueUn uomo imprigiona il suo amico drogato estraneo in una capanna isolata nei deserti di San Diego per costringerlo a superare una settimana di sobrietà, ma gli eventi di quella settimana vengono misteriosamente manipolati.A very unique, low-budget indie flick. It's a strange hodgepodge of genres and is quite memorable - I never guessed what the hell was going on, which is a good sign seeing as this is a mystery-horror.
Released in the US in January 2013. - RegistaRob ZombieStelleSheri Moon ZombieMeg FosterBruce DavisonHeidi che lavora come DJ, riceve una scatola contenente un disco con suoni che innescano ricordi del passato violento della sua città.Rob Zombie is a filmmaker with obvious talents (a great eye for cinematography) and obvious shortcomings (pretty poor at writing scripts) so when he makes a film that largely eschews dialogue and instead leans very heavily on the visuals, I think it works in his favour. The pace is quite slow and the savage gore of his earlier films is absent for the most part (so will alienate a lot of his fans), but in its place is a visually stunning horror film about witchcraft and satanic possession. Think of it as a homage to films like Susperia and Rosemary's Baby.
Released in the US in April 2013. - RegistaJim MickleStelleBill SageAmbyr ChildersJulia GarnerI Parker, una famiglia solitaria, trovano minacciata la loro esistenza segreta, costringendo le figlie Iris e Rose ad assumersi responsabilità al di là di quelle di una famiglia tipica.A really interesting, well made horror-drama. A fairly slow-burn but I doubt most folks would even notice. Highly recommended if you like a serious horror film once in a while.
- RegistaBlair EricksonStelleKatia WinterTed LevineMichael McMillianLa giornalista Anne Roland esplora i collegamenti inquietanti dietro l'improvvisa scomparsa di un suo amico, un inquietante prodotto chimico di ricerca del governo e un'inquietante trasmissione radiofonica di origine sconosciuta.A bit messy, and there's a Hunter S Thompson-type character who felt out of place, but the creepy moments really lift it up. Great ending.
- RegistaRafaël CherkaskiStelleRafaël CherkaskiSimon-Pierre BoireauJérémy LornacTerrifying French horror movie about a journalist who arrives in Paris to film a documentary about the "European dream". A series of poor decisions and bad luck derail his project and drive him to a devastating state of madness...Found footage horror that's very well put together. It gets quite brutal towards the end, all the more shocking due to initial likability of the main character. Excellent lead performance.
Worth a look if you like brutal found footage horror. - RegistiJen SoskaSylvia SoskaStelleKatharine IsabelleAntonio CupoTristan RiskIl fascino del denaro facile spinge Mary Mason, una studentessa di medicina, nel mondo degli interventi chirurgici clandestini che finiscono per lasciare più segni su di lei rispetto ai suoi cosiddetti clienti bizzarri.Unique and gruesome with an underlying dark sense of humour. The surgical scenes may be a bit much for some folks, but hardcore horror fans will take it in stride. Very enjoyable and quite refreshing.
Released in the US in May 2013. - RegistaElliot GoldnerStelleGordon KennedyRobin HillAidan McArdleA team of Vatican investigators descend upon a church in a remote area to demystify the unusual happenings, but what they discover is more disturbing than they had first imagined.A really well made found-footage film. Some decent humour, good scares and an ever mounting sense of dread. Great ending - very Lovecraftian.
- RegistiCameron CairnesColin CairnesStelleOliver AcklandPaul BlackwellWard EveraardtReg and Lindsay run an organic fertiliser business. They need a fresh supply of their "secret ingredient" to process through the meat grinder. Reg comes across two guys and a girl with a broken-down vehicle on their way to a music festival.Played solely for the laughs, this Aussie film is a really good time if you want something a little lighter. Had me laughing throughout!
Released in the US in June 2013. - RegistiSimon BarrettJason EisenerGareth EvansStelleLawrence Michael LevineKelsy AbbottAdam WingardSearching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his house and find a collection of VHS tapes. Viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be dark motives behind the student's disappearance.Not quite as good as the first V/H/S, but it still delivers the goods. As with nearly all horror anthology films, the quality is a little up and down, luckily most of the segments are clear hits and make up for the slightly weaker ones. Good stuff.
- RegistaVincenzo NataliStelleAbigail BreslinPeter OuterbridgeMichelle NoldenA teenager is stuck in a time loop that is not quite the same each time. She must uncover the truth, but her actions have consequences for herself and others.May be a bit tame for some, but the premise is great and they do a good job with it. The unfolding mystery kept me engaged until the end, even though it's pretty obvious what's going on.
- RegistaKarl MuellerStelleJon FosterSarah JonesMark StegerA young couple moves to the woods and soon finds their nightmares and reality colliding.Hmmm... Some people really don't seem to like this!
Well, I thought it was fantastic and a breath of fresh air in the found-footage genre. The first half of the film is pretty standard fare, but things get really weird in the second half - a real mind-bender! If you like found-footage films I can't help but recommend it. - RegistaJacob VaughanStelleKen MarinoGillian JacobsPatrick WarburtonA man learns that his unusual stomach pains are being caused by a demon living in his intestines.If you've ever seen Basket Case you'll know what to expect, and whether you like this or not will largely depend on how much you liked that film. Low-budget, campy horror-comedy with a touch of pathos.
- RegistaMarc ForsterStelleBrad PittMireille EnosDaniella KerteszL'ex inviato delle Nazioni Unite Gerry Lane lotta contro il tempo per tentare di localizzare una cura per l'epidemia globale di Zombie che rischia di distruggere l'umanità.I guess this is the first blockbuster zombie film! It's decent enough, although the action overwhelms the horror a lot of the time. The scale of the carnage is worth the price of admission, it's just a shame the third act scales down the huge scope of the film so much (it feels like it goes from an epic blockbuster into a regular indie horror film) that it's quite jarring, but far from bad.
- RegistaMichael S. OjedaStelleAmanda Adrienne SmithMarc Anthony SamuelRodney RowlandA deaf girl is brutalized by a murderous gang who are then hunted by her when the bloodthirsty spirit of an Apache warrior inhabits her lifeless body.If you like the Evil Dead films then you MUST check this out, it's an absolute blast and mad as hell!
May be a bit too rough and quirky for most, but cult horror fans should have a blast! - RegistaRichard RaaphorstStelleRobert GwilymHon Ping TangAlexander TerentyevNegli ultimi giorni della seconda guerra mondiale un battaglione di soldati russi viene attirato nel laboratorio segreto di uno scienziato squilibrato e costretto ad affrontare un esercito di orribili macchine da guerra in carne e metallo.B-movie goodness! Although quite low-budget, this is a must-see for anyone who appreciates cool creature designs, practical effects and a bit of tongue-in-cheek Nazi horror.
It may be too cheesy for folks who are looking for a more traditional horror film, I think this one is purely for fans of goofy cult horror. - RegistaFede AlvarezStelleJane LevyShiloh FernandezJessica LucasCinque amici si recano ad una remota baita nei boschi dove la scoperta del Libro dei Morti causa l'apparizione di demoni assetati di sangue.All in all it's a well made, brutal horror film, but it's just not an Evil Dead film - the humour and cartoonish monster design have gone completely. Leave your expectations at the door and pretend the film has a different name, you'll probably have a much better time.
