8 Upcoming Horror Films To Be Pumped For In 2019

8. Glass

For years, M. Night Shyamalan's name was synonymous with bad movies. After making a huge splash with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, his filmography devolved into still risky and ambitious but decidedly less well-made films like Lady in the Water, The Happening, and The Last Airbender.

However, Shyamalan has been on a quest to reclaim his glory in the past few years. In teaming up with Blumhouse in 2015, he delivered The Visit, a found-footage horror flick which was solid enough to warrant more praise than any of his prior films had in nearly a decade.

Then, in 2016, he and Blumhouse released Split, a genuinely great film that was anchored by tremendous performances from James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy. The twist was, Split was also a stealth sequel to Unbreakable, setting up a third film in which all the characters would come together.

Which brings us to Glass, the culmination of all of this. The trailers released thus far for the film look promisingly bonkers, with Shyamalan opting to go even more meta with his analysis of the role of superheroes entertainment in the modern world, alongside a truly gonzo color palette and production design.

It isn't clear yet if Glass is going to live up to Shyamalan's prior film, or if it will be a return to his more disappointing form. Regardless, it looks unmistakably Shyamalan-esque, so it will be either truly wonderful or ridiculously-fun-to-watch terrible. Either way, we win.
