Horror films, as a major category in movies, are always indispensable in the annual box office wars.
The first half of the year did not perform well
Last year's horror feast has brought us too many surprises, but it has set off the unsatisfactory horror film market in the first half of this year.
"Pet Cemetery" and "Curse of the Weeping Woman", which bear the names of Stephen King and Wen Ziren, have collapsed one after another, respectively, and only Jordan Peel's "We" is still a success (and can only be counted).
If you miss it, go to the door to perform
But don't be disappointed, the second half of the film is still eager to try, ready to stage a shocking drama. They have a variety of indie masterpieces, horror remakes and much-anticipated sequels to the movie, so don't miss it, otherwise the "them" in the movie will not be happy.

The Lodge (2019)
Director: Severin Fiora / Veronica Franz
Starring: Richard Armitage / Alicia Silverstone / Lily Keafu / Jaydon Mater / Danny Keo
Genre: Drama / Thriller / Horror
Release Date: 2019-01-25 (Sundance Film Festival)
In 2014, there was a rather niche horror film "Goodnight Mommy", a minimalist film with a strange and violent plot, focusing on the relationship between mother and son on the verge of collapse in the story, which achieved a good reputation among film critics.
This year, the combination of Severin Fiora and Veronica Franz once again made a film that focused on the relationship between mother and child, "The Cabin." A heavy snow trapped a woman and her stepson and stepdaughter in a wooden house, and their relationship went to a freezing point in the cold weather of heavy snowfall.
Critics have called the film "a truly disturbing film, the kind of horror movie that makes you panic subconsciously," which is enough to illustrate how shocking this horror story under the snow is.

The Lighthouse (2019)
Director: Robert Eggers
Starring: Robert Pattinson / William Dafoe
Genre: Drama / Horror / Fantasy
Release Date: 2019-05-19 (Festival de Cannes)
One of the regrets of last year's Cannes Film Festival must have been that the horror film "Windy Storm" failed to participate as desired, and this year, when Cannes ended brilliantly under Bong Joon-ho's Palme d'Or, the horror film "Lighthouse" also achieved excellent results this time.
Directed by Robert Eggers with two lead actors
Director Robert Eggers showed his amazing talent for horror films, eerie style and brilliant audiovisual language as early as 2015.
This time his creation shocked the audience even more: "At the same time, it makes you feel fear and excitement, like the beam of lighthouse, dazzling and dangerous" – The Guardian
In Nova Scotia, Canada, at the beginning of the last century, around the mysterious events of the nautical world, two people and one tower unfolded this story. Robert Pattinson and William Dafoe played brilliantly on the same stage, and the director's 1:1 format black and white video style pulled the scene into a more illusory existence.
The zombie is not dead
The Dead Don't Die (2019)
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Starring: Chloe Severny / Adam Dreifer / Tilda Swinton / Steve Bussimi / Austin Butler
Genre: Comedy / Horror
Release Date: 2019-05-14 (Cannes Film Festival) / 2019-06-14 (USA)
Jim Jarmusch's latest self-written and self-directed film since the 2017 documentary "Give Me Danger", in so many years of film and television career, the alternative ghost Jarmusch's unique artistic style has been talked about, minimalist, alienated, lonely.
This time, instead of continuing the plot style of films such as "Patterson", he chose the classic horror film theme of zombies, which is also his first attempt at horror style.
Zombie + comedy can give birth to such a masterpiece as "Shaun of the Zombies", and with the addition of The Jarmusch, this movie has completely become a jarmuscular humor zombie film, and does not like the blood plasma film of the zombie slaughter? Then this comedic horror movie can be tried.
Ghost baby back to the soul
Child's Play (2019)
Director: Lars Kreiffberg
Starring: O'Brie Praza / Brian Terry Henry / Tim McCityson / Gabriel Bateman / Mark Hamill
Type: Horror
Release: 2019-06-21 (USA)
Released in 1988, Ghost in the Shell must have been one of the most classic horror series of the 1980s, cleverly combining evil and innocent children's toys and turning harmless childhood playmates into blood-stained killers.
Ghost Baby Returns
The success of last year's Moonlight Panic has proved that the older generation of horror monsters are not outdated, and the new modern style will make them come back to life, so the rebirth of this little demon is also logical.
On June 21, 2019, the remake of "Ghost Baby Return" and "Toy Story 4" collided on the same day, and it is not difficult to see from the poster released that Chaqi is going to kill the "childhood partner" of the children this time.

Writers: Gary Doberman / Wen Ziren

Genre: Suspense / Thriller / Horror
Release: 2019-06-26 (USA)
What is the most stable money-making movie series in Hollywood today? In addition to various grand blockbuster universes, one of them must be a terrifying soul-summoning universe created by Wen Ziren.
Even "The Nun", which broke through last year's reputation, relied on the word summoning, only 22 million to win the 360 million box office, which is simply a ruthless box office harvester, and such excellent profits have further accelerated the launch of subsequent works.
Annabelle 3 features the director of the converted series screenwriter Gary Doberman, and Wen Ziren is still involved in the screenplay and film producer. The protagonist of this film is also directly upgraded to the Core of the Soul Summoning Warren couple, which can be seen as "The Conjuring 2.5".

The most horrific horror film of 2018 must be "Genetic Doom" from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, "the horror escalates layer by layer in two hours, and the audience is not slackening to hold their breath the whole time" - Hollywood Reporter, the film is creepy.
While the audience is nervous, the ghost director Ali Esther has not relaxed. After a year, the second work of his career, "A Midsummer Night's Horror", is scheduled for July 3.
Like its debut, A Midsummer Night's Horror is a cult-themed film, and its style is still spooky and depressing, and even the beautiful summer scrolls of wind and sunshine are like invisible hands holding the audience's throat.

Release: 2019-08-09 (USA)
Based on Evan Schwartz's classic children's horror literature, the three originals contain several horror short stories, and in addition to the horror elements, the novel has a lot of fun for children, but the movie version is obviously not for children.
There are many strange deaths in the town, and the books found by a few young people in an old mansion seem to be the source of all the horrors, and when the horror stories in the books become a reality, they will all die.
With André Ivdorff, the director of 2016's indie masterpiece The Nameless Woman, whose control of the atmosphere of oppression and mystery is excellent, and the supervising and screenwriting work of the famous director Gilmour del Toro ("The Shape of Water"), this horror story is never bad.

Horror films have only one intersection with Stanley Kubrick, and that is the famous "The Shining" in film history. It's an impeccable classic, the Shining is the most frightening from anywhere you look at it, and its eerie and elusive ending is amazing.
Although Stephen King hated the film adaptation, his novel didn't end there, and now the film of the same name, adapted from his sequel, Doctor Sleep, is also on the big screen, and the old drama bone Ivan McGregor X new talent Mike Flanagan ("Ghost Invasion") is an absolute dose.
