If you’re a horror movie lover, then finding out the latest line-up of horror movie releases is probably a pretty exciting time for you.
In my eyes, finding out the nightmares that are coming for me (and that’s just from watching the trailers) is more like torture than pleasure. Some of these movies have already been released, while others are due later in the year, but they’re all worth seeing if you enjoy making yourself terrified just for sh*ts and giggles.
So here they are, the 10 horror movies that will scare your skin off in 2016.
1. The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist
The first installment of The Conjuring (2013) was a screaming success, so it’s no surprise that a second one is on the way. The film revolves around real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga respectively. Based on what we’ve heard, it seems like this installment is based on the supposedly true story of two sisters in Enfield, England who were allegedly possessed in the 1970s. The real-life Lorraine Warren describes the case as one of the most terrifying in her career, which should be a good sign for viewers.
2. The Boy
This unique and unusual film follows The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan as an American nanny named Greta who takes a job in a creepy manor in England for an elderly couple to look after their young son Brahms. To her surprise, and at first amusement, Brahms is actually a life-size porcelain doll that is treated like a living child by his ‘parents’ following the real Brahms’ death in 1991. Brahms’ parents give Greta very specific rules to follow in taking care of Brahms, but when she neglects him, very strange things begin to happen. Shiver.
