"Wow. Well, now that 2020 is finally in the rear view it's safe to say that, as challenging and worrisome as the year was, it was an exceptionally strong year for genre films.
The following list of 20 horror titles rates and ranks what have been Taste of Cinema's favorites for the year, but it's worth pointing out that several anticipated fright films (Michael Chaves's The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, Scott Cooper's Antlers, Nia DaCosta's Candyman, Rose Glass's Saint Maud, John Krasinski's A Quiet Place: Part II, and James Wan's Malignant, amongst them) never got their promised release dates, owing to the pandemic, but hopefully will see some kind of safe release in '21
A few shoutouts also deserve going out to some excellent genre films that didn't make this list but are still mentioned in the "Honorable Mention" section, all of which are worth a watch for horror junkies."
