The Prodigy
Release date: February 8
Cast: Jackson Robert Scott, Taylor Schilling, Colm Feore
Director: Nicholas McCarthy (At the Devil's Door)
Why it's good: There's always room for another "killer kid" flick if you ask me, and while this one borrows quite a bit from both The Omen and Child's Play (yes, really), it also earns a lot of credit for being well-crafted, consistently creepy, and unexpectedly, well, dark. Plus that lead kid (Scott) is pretty damn great.

Thriller
Release date: April 14
Cast: Jason Woods, Jessica Allain, Mykelti Williamson
Director: Dallas Jackson
Why it's good: If you have an affection for the classic slasher flicks of years past (particularly the 1980 Canadian favorite Prom Night), here's a low-key but enjoyable homage that's packed with all the tragic pranks, hooded killers, red herrings, and (mostly) deserving victims you'd expect. It's nothing we haven't seen before, plot-wise, but there are enough interesting performances and plot contortions to keep things interesting until the late-arriving mayhem hits the screen. Plus it's set in South Central Los Angeles, which is pretty unique for a slasher flick.

The Field Guide to Evil
Release date: March 29
Cast: Birgit Minichmayr, Marlene Hauser, Niharika Singh
Director: Several, including Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy)
Why it's good: Indie horror fans have no shortage of anthology flicks to choose from these days, and here's another decent effort to add to the list. Like virtually every multi-story horror film ever made, The Field Guide to Evil is a decidedly mixed bag -- the offerings here range from quietly fascinating to atmospheric yet dull -- but it does have the distinction of being a truly international affair; the segments found within represent myths, legends, and fears from nations like Austria, Hungary, India, Greece, Turkey, Poland, and the United States.

The Dead Don't Die
Release date: June 14
Cast: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny
Director: Jim Jarmusch (Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai)
Why it's good: Longtime cult film icon Jim Jarmusch has made lots of films that have delighted critics and (indie-friendly) audiences in equal measure, but this oddball zombie comedy was noteworthy upon its release for earning all sorts of negative reviews and disappointed reactions. But I kind of liked it! Yes,it's weird, droll, dry, and occasionally dumb, but it's really difficult to dislike a laid-back zombie invasion in which Bill Murray and Adam Driver are the laconic cops on the scene.

Escape Room
Release date: January 4
Cast: Taylor Russell, Tyler Labine, Logan Miller
Director: Adam Robitel (Insidious: The Last Key)
Why it's good: A bunch of strangers awaken inside of a booby-trapped maze. You know the drill by now. Take a dash of Hostel, a splash of Cube, and a good portion of Saw and you're pretty much up to speed on what Escape Room has to offer -- and yet, despite its relatively familiar set-up (and PG-13 rating), there's still a decent amount of clever twists, chills, kills, and (of course) escapes to be found here

Annabelle Comes Home
Release date: June 26
Cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Mckenna Grace
Director: Gary Dauberman
Why it's good: Between The Conjuring, The Nun, and previous Annabelle entries, this marks the seventh entry in the long-running occult horror series that's focused mostly on demonic possessions, very haunted houses, and (of course) extremely creepy dolls. This chapter seems especially geared towards younger horror fans, but that doesn't stop it from spinning a decent yarn and offering some highly amusing scares in the second half.

Fractured
Release Date: October 11
Cast: Sam Worthington, Lily Rabe, Stephen Tobolowsky
Director: Brad Anderson (Session 9)
Why it's good: A stressed-out father drops his wife and daughter off at the hospital for a routine CAT scam, but when he returns to pick them up, they're nowhere to be found. Yes, we've all seen the "suddenly missing loved one" premise in countless movies and TV shows but director Brad Anderson is good at bringing some craft and color to even the most familiar of plots. (Check out 2013's The Call for an example.) Sam Worthington does an admirable job of playing the confused man who has no idea what's going on, and while you might figure out the big twist before the finale, it's still a suitably suspenseful way to spend 90 minutes.

Belzebuth
Release date: August 29
Cast: Tobin Bell, Joaquín Cosio, Tate Ellington
Director: Emilio Portes (The Popcorn Chronicles)
Why it's good: If you've seen at least one good "exorcism" movie (like, say, The Exorcist) then odds are you'll be familiar with where this brutal Mexican horror ends up -- but the material that comes before Act III (it focuses on a detective trying to crack the case of several dead children) is haunting and disturbing in equal measure. Definitely not for all tastes (trigger warning, again, for violence against children) but adventurous genre fans will probably appreciate the creepy occult goings-on and the sudden jolts of visceral horror.

Hellboy
Release date: April 12
Cast: David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Daniel Dae Kim
Director: Neil Marshall (The Descent)
Why it's good: While most of the critics (and the opening weekend audience) made their opinions immediately clear on the new movie version of Hellboy -- and the reactions were not kind -- I found myself having a fairly decent time with this R-rated adaptation -- despite some obvious glitches in the areas of clunky editing and inconsistent special effects quality. Guillermo del Toro's awesome Hellboy movies are lush and deeply imaginative pieces of dark fantasy. This new version seems content to plunk Hellboy and his eclectic mess of horror tropes into sort of a wise-assed Bond movie structure, and for the most part,it works as amiably insane monster madness. Well, it did for me, anyway.

Meters Down: Uncaged
Release date: August 16
Cast: Sophie Nélisse, Corinne Foxx, Brianne Tju
Director: Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down)
Why it's good: Four intrepid yet highly irresponsible young women decide to explore a sunken Mexican city, only to discover a whole bunch of blind, hungry sharks. This in-name-only sequel to the sleeper hit from a few years back is little more than an underwater slasher flick, but it's got some really nice cinematography, a slick score, and a nice handful of legitimately scary, suspenseful set pieces. As far as shark movies go, those assets alone make this an above-average B-movie cable flick.

Body at Brighton Rock
Release date: April 26
Cast: Karina Fontes, Casey Adams, Emily Althaus
Director: Roxanne Benjamin (Southbound)
Why it's good: A young park ranger eager to earn her stripes discovers a dead body while patrolling deep in the woods -- and things get even creepier once a mysterious stranger starts poking around as well. It's a simple set-up, but it's also a well-crafted and quietly engaging thriller... especially when the plot twists start piling up.

Rattlesnake
Release date: October 25
Cast: Carmen Ejogo, Theo Rossi, Emma Greenwell
Director: Zak Hilditch (1922)
Why it's good: A single mother on a dusty road trip finds herself in dire straits after her little girl is bit by a rattlesnake, but things get even freakier after she's offered a very dark bargain in exchange for her daughter's life. In other words, she's told she has to kill a total stranger before sundown.

Glass
Release date: January 18
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy, Bruce Willis
Director: M. Night Shyamalan (Unbreakable)
Why it's good: While it's safe to say that this bizarre third entry in a strange "anti-superhero" trilogy goes to some highly unexpected (and perhaps even unpopular) places, there's always something to be said for audacity and unpredictability, both of which M. Night Shyamalan exhibits here with no apologies. I'm not sure I even like this movie all that much -- despite a few great moments -- but I respect its boldness.

Pet Sematary
Release date: April 5
Cast: Jason Clarke, Amy Seimitz, John Lithgow
Director: Kevin Kolsch & Dennis Widmyer (Starry Eyes)
Why it's good: There's not much here that fans of the Stephen King novel (and Mary Lambert's 1989 adaptation) haven't seen before, but this one avoids the "stinky remake" curse because it does manage to throw in a few new twists we didn't see coming, plus the cast is great and the titular "Sematary" is brought to life (relatively speaking) in very creepy fashion. Fair warning that this is definitely a downbeat horror story, but hey, so is the source material.

Nightmare Cinema
Release date: May 29
Cast: Richard Chamberlain, Mickey Rourke, Belinda Balaski
Director: Alejandro Brugués (Juan of the Dead), Joe Dante (Gremlins), Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus), David Slade (30 Days of Night), Mick Garris (Sleepwalkers)
Why it's good: Virtually every horror anthology you'll ever come across could be described as a "mixed bag," and that's the case once again with this low-budget, but generally amusing, collection. Highlights include a truly creative slasher flick subversion that opens the anthology, plus we get Joe Dante tackling plastic surgery and a few more freaky stories that deliver the goods. Unfortunately, the final segment is way too long for its own good, and it treads some highly familiar supernatural territory. Still, on the whole, a worthwhile effort that you should check out if you dig mini tales of terror.

Haunt
Release date: September 13
Cast: Katie Stevens, Will Brittain, Lauryn Alisa McClain
Director: Scott Beck & Bryan Woods
Why it's good: It presents a very standard premise -- a bunch of friends find themselves trapped and helplessly lost in a very creepy but ostensibly "fake" haunted house -- but still manages to deliver a big bag of both tricks and treats. It takes a little while for the flick to find its feet but once we get past some fairly standard plot and character set-up and settle into the scary stuff, there's a good deal of freaky funhouse style amusement to be found.

Child's Play
Release date: June 21
Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, Mark Hamill
Director: Lars Klevberg (Polaroid)
Why it's good: Chucky's earned himself a whole bunch of sequels by this point -- and he also has a TV series in the works -- so it only makes (financial) sense to deliver a remake of some sort. And to its credit, this reboot does manage to find its own footing while still capturing some of the goofy B-movie fun of the 1987 original. For example, this time around Chucky isn't just a toy; he's a multimedia app that can do a whole lot more damage than his knife-wielding predecessor.

The Banana Splits Movie
Release date: August 13
Cast: Dani Kind, Finlay Wojtak-Hissong, Romeo Career
Director: Danishka Esterhazy (H & G)
Why it's good: Now here's a weird one! Someone took an obscure old kid's series from the 1970s and decided to turn it into a gory horror movie with a firm satirical edge! It's a bizarre idea to be sure, but if you've ever found yourself creeped out by those big, freaky Chuck E. Cheese characters -- or if you're a fan of the Five Nights at Freddy's video games -- then you might have a fairly good time with this bizarre concoction. And then show it to your parents to see what they think.

Pilgrim
Release date: November 1
Cast: Reign Edwards, Kerr Smith, Courtney Henggeler
Director: Marcus Dunstan (The Collector)
Why it's good: Once again, the mixed bag that is Hulu's horror anthology Into the Dark yields a unique, bizarre, and creepily compelling tale of privilege, entitlement, appropriation, and... well, retribution. Suffice to say that a Thanksgiving gimmick goes freakishly awry when a pair of "pilgrims" attend a modern Thanksgiving feast.

Rabid
Release date: December 13
Cast: Laura Vandervoort, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Stephen McHattie
Director: Jen & Sylvia Soska (American Mary)
Why it's good: Some genre fans might say it's wrong to remake David Cronenberg, but hey, one of Cronenberg's very best movies (The Fly) is a remake, so it only seems fair. Plus it turns out that this remake of Cronenberg's fourth feature is pretty impressive in its own right as it updates the cult classic tale of sexuality, alienation, and infection.

Depraved
Release date: September 13
Cast: David Call, Joshua Leonard, Alex Breaux
Director: Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter)
Why it's good: The classic Frankenstein story gets a modern retelling in this grim, strange, and quietly compelling feature from longtime indie favorite Larry Fessenden. Most of the requisite components are on hand -- such as a stitched-together corpse and a diseased brain -- but this version also taps into some decidedly modern themes as well, including PTSD, pharmaceutical company malfeasance, and the true definition of "toxic" masculinity.

Tigers Are Not Afraid
Release date: August 21 (NYC), August 23 (LA), with national rollout and VOD to follow
Cast: Paola Lara, Juan Ramon Lopez, Ianis Guerrero
Director: Issa Lopez
Why it's good: We've all seen some harrowing films about brutal drug cartels and the horrific impact they have on their native lands, but I cannot recall one that tells the story from the perspective of five homeless children, nor one with such a fascinating and poignant usage of dark fantasy and horror themes. Reminiscent of Guillermo del Toro's early films (particularly The Devil's Backbone, a stone-cold masterpiece), this is a brilliant, dark fable that has something essential to say about real-world tragedy, but it does so in such a wonderfully honest, powerful, and endlessly creative fashion. You simply won't find a much better genre film this year.

Midsommar
Release date: July 2
Cast: Florence Pugh, Jack Raynor, William Jackson Harper
Director: Ari Aster (Hereditary)
Why it's good: Have you ever found yourself on a vacation trip you immediately regretted? Weird people, freaky food, uncomfortable lodgings, and all you can do is try your best to grin and bear it until you can finally return home? We've all been there, and now there's a supremely creepy new "folk horror" story that captures that discomfort perfectly. In a nutshell, four college friends, plus one of the group's grieving girlfriends, decide to visit an obscure Swedish festival deep in the Scandinavian forest -- and let's just say things quickly go from odd to uncomfortable to downright horrific. To say much more would ruin the dreadful fun.
