Whether it’s new horror originals or reboots of our favourite cult classics, this year,
the horror genre definitely doesn’t have it’s shortage of chills and thrills.
There are a lot of scary movies to look forward to this year from long-awaited sequels, brand
new and original movies to some reboots.
So what’s coming out this year, we’ll let’s take a look.
How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.
Before we jump into today’s list - I want to know, what is something that you’re looking
forward to this year?
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Alright, let’s get going, this is the top 10 scary movies coming out in 2020.
Kicking this list off in at number 10 we have The Grudge.
I know, I know - not another Grudge reboot...but hear me out.
Back in 2004 the American remake of the 2002 Japanese horror movie Ju-On made it to our
big screens.
And then the Grudge got another 2 sequels in 2006 and 2009.
So why are they going down this road again?
Well, it’s being directed by Nicolas Pesce and it’s supposed to be a fresh take on
the franchise with a whole new story full of vengeful spirits haunting a house where
violence took place and formed a curse.
Here is a little sneak peak.This film is set to be released this January, so you’ll have
to let me know what you think.
Candyman slashes his way onto this list in at number 9.
If you’re not familiar with this urban legend, allow me to refresh your memory.
Candyman is a story about a murdered slave who returns from the dead in search of vengeance.
If you say his name five times in the mirror, he will appear behind you and kill you with
his hook.
You can see him in the mirror, covered in blood and bees and the only thing on his mind
is vicious murder.
Yep, this sounds like a good premise for a horror movie if you ask me.
So this sequel is set to hit the big screens on June 12th, 2020 and it’s written by Jordan
Peele so you know it’s going to be a horrific masterpiece.
The Turning brings us to number 8.
This movie will be released in theatres on January 24th, 2020 and it is based off of
one of the most popular ghost stories ever written.
This film is based off of Henry James’ novella called The Turn of the Screw.
But this movie promises to give us a fresh spin on this horror classic.
Set in the Maine countryside in the 90s, a new nanny is hired to take care of two deeply
disturbed orphans.
As she settles into her new job, she quickly discovers that the family is hiding some pretty
dark and haunting secrets.
A Quiet Place: Part II is up next in at number 7.
This is a movie that is set in a post-apocalyptic world that is overrun by monsters who hunt
by sound.
John Krasinkski will be returning to write and direct this second installment and his
wife Emily Blunt will be reprising her role.
At the time of this recording, the plot is still unknown but we do know that the surviving
members of the Abbott family will try to survive together after they learned more about these
vicious creatures.
They will also meet with more survivors so who knows, maybe a third installment is also
in the works.
But for now, this movie is expected to be released on March 20, 2020.
We have one of my favourite franchises coming in at number 6 and I’m talking about The
Purge 5: Final Night.
Mark July 10th, 2020 in your calendars because we are being gifted with another purge movie
this year.
Did Christmas come early?
Yes, I think it did.
It was only a matter of time before we returned to a world where crime is legal for 12 hours
and this next installment should not disappoint.
It’s still early in its development, so there’s not a whole lot of details about
this movie but its being rumored that this will be the final film of the series.
But don’t worry, the Purge TV series is still going strong and its second season is
set to come out on October 15th.
Army Of The Dead takes us to number 5.
Zack Snyder is sinking his teeth into the Zombie genre once again with his next movie
that is set to be released onto Netflix later this year.
Originally, this movie was supposed to be a sequel to his Dawn of the Dead remake but
it had a very dark script.
So this new version will be a standalone movie with a completely fresh script.
Dave Bautista is starring in this movie and it’s going to be set in a post-apocalyptic,
zombie filled Las Vegas.
Friday The 13th reboot cuts its way into number 4.
Supposedly, the King himself, my hero - LeBron James is going to produce the reboot of the
iconic slasher movie, Friday the 13th is set to be released later this year.
It’s going to be the 40th anniversary of the original movie and it’s actually going
to be the 13th installment, so you know we are in for a treat.
As of right now, there’s no director or writer attached to the movie but what we do
know for sure is that Jason Voorhees will be back with his hockey mask and chainsaw,
and you know what - that’s enough for me.
Up next in at number 3 we have an Untitled Saw Project.
Just when you thought that all of the gory and sick games were over, Jigsaw is making
his triumphant return to the silver screen.
But brace yourselves because actor and comedian Chris Rock is man responsible for bringing
Saw back to life.
He’s been planning the reboot and he even said that he’s excited to take this to a
really intense and twisted new place.
Chris Rock will be starring in the movie as Zeke, a detective who is investigating the
gory Jigsaw murders.
In addition to Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson is also confirmed to join in on the Saw Reboot.
So this Saw movie should be very interesting to watch and I’m curious if they are going
to make any connections to the rest of the franchise.
I guess time will tell.
The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It haunts our list in at number 2.
This next installment to the Conjuringverse is going to focus on one of the Warrens’
case files about a man who is on trial for murder.
He claims that he was possessed at the time of the crime.
His lawyers argued that he shouldn’t be held accountable for his crimes because he
was demonically possessed.
As of right now, there isn’t an exact release date for this movie but Patrick Wilson and
Vera Farmiga (FAR MEE GAH) will be reprising their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
And now, slicing its way to our number 1 spot we have Halloween Kills.
After the Halloween sequel made a killing at the box office back in 2018, another Halloween
movie kind of seemed inevitable.
Besides Laurie Strode, other characters from the original movie are making an appearance
as well such as little Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace.
Although details about the plot haven’t been released yet, this movie will be out
on October 16, 2020 and as we all know, no one is safe so maybe we will see Michael Myers
murder Laurie Strode.
But I guess we will have to wait till October.
Well there you guys have it…
