Ranking What Was Really The Best Horror Movie Every Year 1990-2021

4. 2018: Hereditary

Hereditary Charlie Head
A24

With its scintillating score, powerful performances, and deeply traumatising depiction of a family slowly driven mad by tragedy, Ari Aster's confident debut Hereditary shook the world.

Combining haunted house visuals, unconventional jump scares and Toni Collette's enrapturing portrayal of a woman losing her mind, it's a film with no hope that you nonetheless can't look away from due to its visual beauty and brave construction.

Watch it once to enjoy being petrified, but watch it again to see how immaculately it all really comes together.
