Well, we are approaching mid-October and are just a couple weeks away for Halloween. If you\u2019re like my household, it\u2019s time to ramp up consumption of horror movies (though admittedly we do watch a lot anyway).<\/p>\n
While there are certainly a number of classics, there are a number of horror films that came out this year with very high Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> critic scores, and I can vouch for almost all of these that they really are that good. All of these are now available on streaming, either for purchase or free on various services, so you should check them out if the description sounds like something you\u2019d be into. So, here\u2019s the ranking order of the top ten horror movies of 2025 via Rotten Tomatoes score:<\/p>\n 1) Sinners \u2013 97% – The Ryan Coogler magnum opus about twin criminals and their younger cousin setting up shop and dealing with a plague of vampires set to ruin their plans (and kill them all)<\/p>\n 2) Weapons \u2013 94% – The latest film from Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian, about a classroom of children who run out into the night and disappear. The reason why is a fantastic turn.<\/p>\n V\/H\/S Halloween<\/p>\n V\/H\/S Halloween<\/p>\n 3) V\/H\/S Halloween \u2013 94% – Another anthology from the V\/H\/S series, a number of connected short films, and this is one of the best entries in the lengthy series.<\/p>\n 4) Companion \u2013 93% – Sophie Thatcher shines as an android designed to be the perfect girlfriend, but things go very wrong during a trip to a lake house with her boyfriend\u2019s friends.<\/p>\n Final Destination Bloodlines<\/p>\n WB<\/p>\n 5) Final Destination: Bloodlines \u2013 92% – The Final Destination series has been up and down over the years, but this is easily one of the best entries in the series, with an unforgettable opening sequence.<\/p>\n 6) Together \u2013 90% – An exceptionally bizarre body horror film from real-life husband and wife Dave Franco and Allison Brie who find themselves more connected than they ever would have imagined.<\/p>\n 28 Years Later<\/p>\n 28 Years Later<\/p>\n 7) 28 Years Later \u2013 89% – The decades-later return to the zombie franchise brings back both director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. A follow-up sequel will be released very shortly as well.<\/p>\n 8) Bring Her Back \u2013 89% – From the directors of Talk to Me comes another possession horror story that\u2019s even more disturbing than the previous one.<\/p>\n 9) Presence \u2013 88% – A very interesting concept where the perspective of the film is that of a floating spirit haunting a house and its residents, but all is not what it seems. <\/p>\n 10) Nosferatu \u2013 84% – The wild Robert Eggers adaptation of the famed story, and unforgettable exploration of the original vampire and continuing Eggers\u2019 legacy of quality.<\/p>\n Out of those, I would specifically recommend Sinners, Companion and Weapons, which are my favorites. I still need to see 28 Years Later and V\/H\/S Halloween, but I\u2019ll get to those before the holiday on the 31st. Enjoy, and let me know what you think of any of these on Twitter. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Well, we are approaching mid-October and are just a couple weeks away for Halloween.
