“The Dark and the Wicked” was my favorite in 2020. Interesting how we can agree on so many things and then my favorite doesn’t even make the top 20. Love your channel, hope it only grows in 2021.

Great list! LOVE that The Hunt was so high. I think it was my most pleasant surprise of 2020. Sure, expectations were low but I had a great time watching it and I really really need Betty Gilpin to be in all of the things.

[@shamblepants1450]

Great list! What a year for horror! I said "Yes!" when you announced your number #1 pick. That movie just stays, and stays...and hurts the soul. Some on this list I haven't yet seen - gotta check 'em out soon.

[@shamblepants1450]

P.S. - More Alicia Silverstone in disturbing horror movies in 2021...please!

[@Nexils]

Crazy how so many of these movies get me like "Oh, that was 2020?" It feels like such a long year. I have only seen exactly 10 '2020 horror movies'. So here we go: 10. The Grudge (yeah... no... I didn't think it was bad, but it was just the worst of the bunch) 9. Freaky (generally okay, but forgettable) 8. Cadaver (beautiful to look at and listen to, but the story is pretty cliché and there's not much to root for) 7. Babysitter 2 (thought it was a lot of fun and genuinely enjoyed myself with it) 6. Gretel and Hansel (beautiful movie and interesting story, would like to see it again sometime soon) 5. His House (fascinating movie with a heartbreaking story. Almost Silent Hill-ish) 4. #Alive (might be a little high on the list, but I thought it was fun) 3. Relic (Another heartbreaking movie, although the symbolism hit very differently for me until a friend explained the dementia part) 2. The Hunt (absolutely loooooooved this movie. It was tons and tons of fun) 1. The Invisible Man (just got it on blu-ray. So intense, thrilling and exciting! Can't wait to see it again).

[@mikesilva3868]

The Lodge is a masterpiece. One of my favorite films in recent years

[@kdsentertainment568]

The Empty Man was way better than i expected. :) And i also think that Swallow belongs in the horror genre, even though i can understand why some people would think differently. I LOVED The Hunt! And i complaint a lot about Underwater, when i watched it for the first time, but it also stuck with me more than i thought and i liked it way more when i rewatched it. The creature and the whole vibe is just so creepy. Overall, great list and not controversial at all. I just thought that The Vigil was a little basic and had the most anticlimactic ending of the year, but like you said, it's your list. :D

[@philfoofighter]

‘Disaster strucks’ is the best description of all time 😂

[@ginger_nspice]

I'm doing a "30 Days of Horror" in January this month with my friend. Your recommendations are always so helpful!

[@manu7805]

I always love watching movie lists. It's fun to find some hidden gems 😊 my top 5 for 2020 are: 5. The Wrechted, 4. Relic, 3. The Hunt, 2. The Lodge, 1. The Invisible Man

[@radhalote3827]

Where do you watch the movies that are not available on streaming platforms?

[@metmoo1]

I've just finished The Lodge after your recommendation and wow. I sat in silence through the credits and for about 5 minutes after haha one of the few movies that felt like I'd been winded when it was over because it hit me that hard, thanks for convincing me to watch it!

[@TheHHN007]

My top 5 are: 1. The Swerve (definitely watch it, Emma - fantastic film) 2. The Lodge 3. His House 4. Swallow 5. Possessor I'M DYING TO WATCH THE VIGIL AND SAINT MAUD!!!

[@zacgale9995]

The Swerve is EXCELLENT!!!!

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

I know I'm damn near 7 months late but I LOVE your list!!!! The Hunt / The Lodge / His House were all INCREDIBLE!

[@esoteric76]

It's great to see some love for Underwater. It's too bad it was delayed for as long as it was, but it was FANTASTIC seeing on the big screen before the shutdown. I still have a bunch more to see, but I've already watched Sputnik and The Call on your recommendation and they were both great!

[@martinlarrivee5081]

Thank you, this is by far my favourite channel when it comes to my personal taste for the horror and disturbing.

[@SeesThings]

Thanks Emma. Definitely interested in your non-horror list. Might give more insight as to how nutty you are (in a good way). I wouldn't stress too much on people's comments. People like to compare notes. I don't expect anyone's likes/dislikes to match my own. It would be boring to watch a video of someone exactly like me. I enjoy your videos/opinions. Please keep them coming.

[@jacobgraybeal]

Good picks, I found your channel from your Saint Maud review and I am loving the content. Huge horror buff and I am now a huge fan! Thank you for what you do!

[@BandrewScott]

Hell yes to The Hunt! Made my top list as well. The lodge was great as well, but I think I need to rewatch that one. Great video and great list.

[@SickM0sh]

Thank you for the recommendations, invisible man is number 1 for me so far. Also thank you for introducing me to the letterboxd app =). I love horror movies so I enjoy your channel, keep up the great work 💪!!!

[@HenriqueMassafra]

Amazing list! I've LOVED The Hunt too. Another favorites of 2020 for me were The Dark and the Wicked, Bad Hair, Spontaneous, Freaky, Run and Promising Young Woman.

[@BrittsBites402]

You've recently convinced me to watch films I ended up not caring for (Alone, The Wolf Of Snow Hollow), but then there are times when we're on the EXACT same page. That's the beauty of this channel. My top 10 all-genres is: 1. Sound Of Metal 2. The Lodge 3. The Platform 4. Promising Young Woman 5. Borat 2 6. Birds Of Prey 7. Host 8. Run 9. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom 10. Da 5 Bloods

[@biamallard]

Yesss to your number 1!! My personal favourite of the year, I’ve seen it not even be listed in some videos so I’m so pleased to see you ranked it at the top!! Thankyou for an amazing year of suggestions, particularly 12 Hour Shift, I adored it and doubt I’d have seen it without your video!! 🖤

[@PinupSarah]

Banging out dat quality content on the regs!

[@kristopherloring]

I'm so happy to see someone who loved The Lodge as much as I did. I actually had an older couple walk out of the cinema right after "that" scene... which made the viewing experience even better.

[@bloodygoodjune9292]

This list is great! There are a few I haven't gotten a chance to see yet, but plan on it soon, especially since you liked them so much. I watched The Wolf of Snow Hollow based on your video and fell in love with it same as you (and it is in my top 5 as well). And yes ma'am, a non-horror list would be amazing!

[@djackio]

Yes to the Hunt!!!! It was such a star performance with such an amazing fight scene at the end. The way it made fun of everyone was hilarious. Ive watched it 3x

[@kkarx]

If you liked Hunt check Vicious Fun from 2020. ;-)

[@bethanywatson3535]

I’m so happy your number one is The Lodge! Definitely in my top 5 this year but without a doubt my favourite is Anything For Jackson! So pleasantly surprised by this movie

[@acaseofyou12581]

Hard agree on your number one! I feel like you’re the only person who still remembers this came out in 2020! I have some issues with the cynicism in The Hunt, but I get why literally everyone except me seems to like it.

[@patriciacarrete6585]

I find fascinating how complex the idea of terror really is. How for you, and several others found a movie like Host to be scary (which it was) but not as scary for me as for example, the concept of deep sea as you said. I guess that's the beauty of the genre :) Always nice to watch your videos!

[@sdqsdq6274]

just finish host , hmm the acting was on point had to say, but it goes downhill when people start dying

[@HunterHooligan]

Omgggg!!! I was waiting for you to mention the Lodge the whole time!

[@louisrastig]

Interesting how significantly expectations can affect the reception. In my case, it was the other way around: I have been looking forward so much to The Lodge, because I enjoyed Goodnight Mommy quite a lot, but have been terribly disappointed, because of some major script mistakes that destroyed the whole film. Such a great list though, and a happy new year, dear Emma!

[@supahmoneymagnet]

I totally agree! THE LODGE IS TERRIBLe! I got my expectations high bcuz of this video only to be dissapointed! It was so predictable. I was expecting for a twist towards the end but NADA! Just a waste of time!

[@lemonsqueeezey]

I loved underwater SO MUCH. Glad it made your list. Reminds me so much of the game 'Soma'

[@Pinwheel622]

I appreciate your channel so much Emma, love coming home to a new video! Thanks for the recommendations 😊

Yes, non horror movies next please! Didn’t watch many from this year but I enjoyed a lot : The Call , His House ,# Alive Happy new year Emma! Always exited to watch your content 💖

[@delsongreene8770]

Thanks for these! Some of these I was skeptical about watching so now this was a reason to actually check it out

[@loookris]

I think my top 3 would be 3) Relic 2) Possessor 1) The Lodge (by such a large margin!!) I still haven’t gotten around to Swallow but it’s been on my list! Great video, as always.

[@neilaf7251]

Definitely would love your non-horror list! I have discovered SO many wonderful movies because of your recommendations. I think I need to give the Lodge another try. I saw it when it first came out. I went in blind, and I didn't like it because it was not at all what I was expecting. I highly recommend The Caller since you haven't seen that. It is VERY good!! A lot of my tops were on your list - The Rental, Becky, The Hunt, The Invisible Man. I was surprised Run wasn't on your list because I know you really like Sarah Paulson. That one was high on my list. :-)

[@lukedukey]

I thought Possessor was pretty cool :) Looking forward to seeing your other recommendations

[@stevethomas74]

I can't wait to check all of these out. I usually agree with your recommendations about 98% of the time! I already have a few of those written down anyway (Host, The Lodge, The Hunt, The Wolf of Snow Hollow) so I look forward to seeing if I agree with you. All the best as always :-)

[@kkarx]

What did you like about Host? It was a generic FF movie with no plot and no characters...

[@jayb4222]

Gretel and Hansel deserves much more praise, I thought it was such a beautifully filmed movie with some really stunning scenes and visuals. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Also shoutout Hubie Halloween 🤘🏽 lol

[@JediJuniper92]

I'm so happy I know someone else appreciates The Lodge. It truly messed me up for a few days.

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Great job putting your top 20 list for us, Emma. It reminded me that I still have a couple more recent films to get to like "Relic" and "The Empty Man". I was glad to see a couple of my favorites make your list like "Underwater" and "The Invisible Man". This past year has been really hard on all of us, not the least of which was not being able to go to the theaters. However, I did make it a point to watch lots of classic horrors and thrillers, which was very fun for me. I doubt I even saw ten horror films from 2020.

[@spookyastronauts]

Great work! I think majority of what I saw from 2020 was horror haha

[@nemmiezene]

The amount of effort you put into these is so appreciated. Thank you for being a wonderful human being who wants to share their interest with others. I could never be extroverted or ambitious enough and that's truly admirable. Also, I loved Hubie Halloween as well. It was a great introduction to horror for anyone just wanting to share with someone else and doesn't exactly know how to start.

[@spookyastronauts]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️but I am truely an introvert! Which is why I watch so many movies hahaha 🤣

[@nemmiezene]

@spookyastronauts Oh, I completely understand. I think I've been confused for a recluse quite often. Social situations make me very uncomfortable even though I half wish they didn't. I just meant on rare occasions where you actually have a relationship that you want to share things with someone else, you did a great job for those trying from the start. Keep going. You're doing amazing. ☺️

[@welshmikeable]

I highly recommend 'Sea Fever' and 'Anything for Jackson'.

[@Norma-Arte-y-Ventas]

[@VanessaJup]

Love the video, as usual. 😊 I got really curious about Sputnik, and will make sure to check it out soon. Swallow and The Lodge are super high-up on my faves list, for sure. I saw The Lodge after your recommendation and going into it I wondered just how upsetting this movie could REALLY be... And... 🙃😨 Thank you for that. (Honestly, it's dark enough for me to have been really glad that someone warned me beforehand. Usually I'm like "Let movies surprise me with their bleakness!" but nope. The Lodge 100% deserves a warning first. 😅)

[@Blkpants]

The lodge was my favorite movie of the year as well by far! It's snowing where I'm at right now which makes me want to watch it again. I will also be getting around to the ones on your list that I have not yet seen, thank you as always!

@@themidnightselections watched it once. Din like it as much

[@Lifesizemortal]

What exactly was there to take away from The Lodge if it was so great?

[@themidnightselections]

@@Lifesizemortal I'll bite. The Lodge is a nasty horror film that mixes religion with nihilism to great effect. It has successfully rattled a lot of people on an emotional level and makes great use of an unreliable protagonist, which is something we don't get to see to often in film. I am paraphrasing from this website, but I don't feel guilty because it is MY website. themidnightselections.com/the-lodge/ Not every horror film is going to be for everyone. I, personally, love mature slow-burners and The Loge fits that bill. Pre-COVID, these types of horror films were having a fantastic run. I hope these types of films keep being made when people start making movies again.

The Lodge is by far the only movie of this year that really got to me. That movie was so good and disturbing. And much agreed on Underwater, that movie was way overlooked. Great list!

[@thesomewheresummer]

Emma, your lists are killer (and so often satisfy the need for some kickass-girl-wins catharsis to blow off some American steam//thank you)....I just had to come back to this one because an animated commercial for Kroger grocery keeps playing, and the last character to enter the grocery store as Flo Rida sings "Low" looks like the killer from Alone. It's just.....so funny. Every time he shows up I think "those poor people in the grocery store!!"

[@Antdapuzzo]

Yes! Thank you for giving The Empty Man some love. I thought I was the only one who would have it in my top 10. Loved it & am happy I was able to see it in theaters. The Lodge was also my #1. So dark I loved it so much.

[@robertf298]

So glad to see someone enjoyed The lodge as much as i did,really blew my mind as i didn't expect it to be something memorable. I also really enjoyed The Host as it was the first horror since Paranormal Activity 2 to actually give me chills and i am not frightened easily ( which why i kinda watch them in the first place.. just trying to get frightened). As i saw Swallow being included in the list while not being really "horror" i thought i would also see Promising young woman - another very satisfying watch for sure :)

[@feynmanm]

Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing and pointing me in the right direction for what to watch next. I keep a top 40 all-time horror, and from 2020, I have Swallow, The Lodge, and Underwater on that list... so far.

[@megansimplystitch]

Thank you for these video lists throughout 2020. They are very helpful! Especially, now, at the end of the year. It's a brightly lit candle in the dark of winter. Muchly appreciated. ✨🌟🌟🌟✨ Thank you for the gift of a nice Top 20 List with lots of movies I haven't seen yet. I'm so happy. I'm also looking forward to your non-horror list, too. 💙💙💙💙 My top 3 favorite movies from this year are Midsommar, The Invisible Man & Train to Busan. I didn't see these movies until after the US lockdown in 2020. I wish that I'd seen them in the theater. 💜💜💜💜 I also enjoyed Becky & The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Rare Exports and Gretel & Hansel. They were all great movies, IMHO, because they surprised me in different ways. My expectations were subverted or changed fairly quickly on. Highly recommended! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 My least favorite movies were Underwater, Apostle, and The Invitation. I've come to the realization that I'm not a Kristen Stewart fan. I don't like her style of acting. It's my own personal preference. Apostle started out with a good hook, but lost me after 30 minutes. It was strange & mysterious just to be strange & mysterious without purpose or plausible explanation. And so on. 💙💙💙💙 I like a slow burn mysterious horror movie. But The Invitation moved slower than glaciers during an ice age. We barely get to know the characters even though we're stuck with them for hours. The ending didn't make sense. Totally implausible. All of which is why it's the worst movie of the year. In my opinion. 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Emma, I thought of you when I watched "The Deeper You Dig". It's a small budget film with a few characters & sets. Filmed on location. The acting is good. The plot is simple, but interesting. I enjoyed it. I think you might like it. Check it out if you get the chance to see it.

Awesome list! There’s still quite a few on your list I need to check out and some I hadn’t even heard of. LOVE your top 3! 👏🏼💕

[@tofutofu7565]

girl this is your list, who cares what other people think :)) btw loved the list, was looking for more horror movies to watch

[@edneragnarok]

Sorry Emma, I haven’t been watching many of your videos lately but that shall change! I’ve missed your takes on spookies, and getting some good recommendations from you. Keep it up, lady!

[@neilbender3050]

Emma...I was screaming that I didn't see The Lodge through out. Soooo relived to see it #1. You nailed it! I liked Alone better than 19 but now I have to look up B.H. movie Curve. Thank you

As soon as I saw this video was posted, I shouted “Yaaaas queen!” because these annual wrap-up lists always help me find new gems. I also really liked Becky and The Invisible Man. You’ve given me new picks to add to my list!

[@petecrane7553]

Happy new year Emma! Great list - you're right, it's all subjective and we're all allowed to like whatever we like.

[@cryowing6327]

[@jakzembollier652]

Saint Maud is my number 1 horror and film of the year. I can't wait for more people to see it just so i can finally discuss it.

[@jemsmom97]

Just watched this yesterday and it had me totally absorbed. Very good film!!

[@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm]

I was completely into The Em ty Man! That scene with the group in a circle around the fire?? Tense!!!

[@Darkwildchild]

Awesome list. I'm taking note on some of these movies that I haven't seen yet. The Lodge and Relic were my favourites, followed by The Invisible Man. But I am curious to see The Wolf of Snow Hollow. There's so much talk about it.

[@paullucas7053]

Thanks for sharing your favs.....on my watch list now....so glad a I subscribed. Keep up the great work...👏🏻😎

No room for The Dark and the Wicked? That was surprisingly creepy and unnerving. No problem with the #1 though. The Lodge slithers under your skin - a great watch alone at night.

[@leenux5904]

I loved "the dark and the wicked" and "uncle peckerhead". Great list Emma :)

[@victortowfon]

In my top both! Loved Uncle
