2016 has surprisingly been a terrific year for horror films. Original entries such as Light's Out and Don't Breathe have both been able to find a lot of success, both critically and at the box-office. (Both making over 140 million in theaters.) Not only that though, but The Conjuring 2 has been a rare-breed, a sequel that actually improves on (in my opinion) the predecessor's narrative and grossed more than the original film. 10 Cloverfield Lane was a terrific film as well, though, some might debate on whether or not it actually falls in the horror spectrum. Besides that, we also had The Witch and The Shallows, both positively received, box-office successes. However, what I am asking is, which is your favorite horror film of 2016 so far?
I've narrowed down my opinion to The Conjuring 2. I didn't absolutely love the first Conjuring film, however, I enjoyed it. The Conjuring 2 though, I believe, really takes things to a new level. The characters are well-developed, the scoring and cinematography is on point, and some of the special effects in the film seem really inspired. It is my favorite horror of 2016 so far, and with little left on the horizon, I don't see that changing.
