The 10 Best Horror Movies of 2025

Sean Fennessey and guest Chris Ryan kick off the year in horror with a roundup of industry buzz—think a December teaser for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Michael Mann spilling on Heat II, and Eva Victor joining Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth!—before tearing into The Black Phone 2 (spoiler: it falls flat). They then chat about why horror feels a bit off right now and share their personal standout scares of 2025.

Later, filmmaker Alex Ross Perry drops by to unpack his segment in V/H/S/Halloween, stressing that digging into what genuinely freaks you out is key. To cap things off, the trio dissects horror anthologies, debating what makes them tick and swapping their all-time favorites.
