Everything Everywhere All At Once was my absolute favorite movie of the year.

Thanks Steve!

Nice! I was looking to see if you had anything new yesterday! Remember going to the video store for horror movies. Probably saw them all.

[@jazzgod21]

Love the video. One thing that would be great though is if you could include the best way to watch them, streaming service, renting only, etc

[@DannyDangerOz]

Great list Steve, there was a few there I noted down to catch up with. Yesterday I watched The Batman and X. I rated them about equally, but X was definitely the one that made me sit up and pay attention. And I watched X because you had recommended it previously, so thanks for that!

[@VampireOnline]

Love the yearly list! Got so many to add and watch now!

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

Man! I don't like horror movies for the most part but I have to watch a number of the movies you describe here! Well... here I go! Thanks Steve!

[@averagemodeler]

Perfect list steve. I would have swapped terrifier 2 with hellbender. But, awesome.

[@KenColangelo]

I'm looking forward to the third Pearl/X movie. I'm hoping you saw the end credit teaser. You must have. Thanks for your recommendations!

[@SteveRamseyPlus]

Yes! MaXXXine!

[@tntstack]

Recently, I have been more impressed by Horror movies versus Action, Big Budget, RomCom, etc. As you said, Action movies and the like put me to sleep while a decent Horror movie puts me on the edge of my seat.

[@SteveRamseyPlus]

💯 Totally

[@paul9532]

Will you make a list for 2023?

[@BriManeely]

Do you happen to listen to the podcast "Random Number Generator Horror Podcast #9"? It's from a duo responsible for the podcast "Welcome to Night Vale" and they just offer some brilliant in-depth analyses on randomly chosen horror movies. I'm a bit horror-squeamish but find some great movies from their recommendations (the synopses help me decide if I could handle watching them). Anyway, if it's of any interest, maybe give them a listen!

I care very little about horror movies. There are some that catch my attention but it’s not a mainstay ( I’m of an age that prefers quiet and a comfortable place to sit). What I like about your videos about horror is your excitement and descriptions about what you like about the films (if you can even call them “films” anymore). One thing you said in the past about movies I completely disagree with: you won’t give a movie less than a 5 on say IMDB because of the work that goes into making a movie. That denies accuracy in the rating system and is lying. The rating system is very important. Some people like bad movies and you misrepresent a movie as a 5 if say it’s a sub 4 or sub 3. If I’m looking for something so ridiculous that will make me laugh through all the serious scenes, you’ve robbed me and the movie maker by giving it a 5 because I won’t bother with a 5 if I’m looking for something really bad.

Violent night was a fantastic movie in 2022

[@curbshooter]

Had to leave before the scary movies... I scare easy! Thanks for the warning

[@Maxid1]

With twitter the way it depicts the world, do you even need to pay to see horror anymore?

[@sondosoft4603]

I think the Dashcam discussion is an interesting one. The Sopranos and Breaking Bad opened the door to main characters who are morally repugnant, but yet i dont think most viewers dislike them. Particularly in the case of BB, I thought they magnificently sold you Walt’s lies to the point you actually believe them and like him. But in the same vein, I’m a believer of Mike’s “in the game” logic. The murders and crimes Walt committed were 99% against fellow criminals. It’s only when you start to see how he destroyed his life and family that most viewers (I think) began to dislike him. I for one was with him to the end. But a character who many politically disagree with is a vastly different thing as most people lack the nuance to see the opposite side as anything more than pure idiots. I think we should see characters we dislike or disagree with. Particularly in horror because I think it’s interesting to take someone you disagree with and make you feel sympathy for them in the worst possible situation despite all their perceived shortcomings.

[@Hellbound1906]

You do realize that you can just go to horror if that's what you liked, right?

[@SteveRamsey]

There's time stamps so you can go right to it! 👍

[@havenisse2009]

Any movie at all not in English or even made outside USA? Yes, there is a world beyond cal and NYC. Recommend "holy spider"

[@SteveRamsey]

Hatching. It's #6 on my list, made in Finland. Texas Chainsaw, made in Bulgaria. X and Pearl, made in New Zealand. Northman, Iceland. Crimes of the Future, Canada. Slash/Back, Nunavut.

[@Bloodlust1ify]

Christmas Bloody Christmas was a good twist on scary but the use of the "F" word was over used.

[@SteveRamsey]

Lol.

[@MrBobisadog]

So Chucky on TV is better than Ted Lasso? Great job!
