15 Most Critically Adored Horror Movies Of 2018

15. Unsane

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 80% (6.7/10 average score)

Steven Soderbergh's low-fi thriller about a woman (Claire Foy) facing off against a maybe-stalker (Joshua Leonard) is destined to be remembered primarily for being shot entirely on iPhones.

And while Unsane is more an impressive feat of technical resourcefulness than it is a fresh entry into the genre, thanks to Foy and Leonard's strong performances, it manages to overcome its more formulaic elements.

The visuals are obviously a mixed bag given the constraints Soderbergh placed upon himself, but he maintains a consistent tick of paranoia-laced suspense throughout, and leans into the gonzo silliness of it all.

More than anything it's just ludicrous that a movie like this actually got a theatrical release in 2018 and wasn't just quietly dumped on VOD. Even more surprisingly, it actually multiplied its $1.5 million budget almost ten-fold.
