[Poll] We Want YOU To Choose the Best Horror Movie of 2016

Published

on

Another good year for horror has come to an end.

It’s an annual tradition here on Bloody Disgusting for many of our writers to write up year-end ‘best of’ lists, and you will indeed have several of those to browse through in the coming days. But we’re not just interested in telling you what WE think. We’re also interested in hearing what YOU think.

From big studio films like The Conjuring 2 and Don’t Breathe to indie and foreign flicks like The Eyes of My Mother and Train to Busan, 2016 was all around a pretty damn solid year for the horror genre on the big screen (it was also a great year for horror on the small screen, but that’s another post for another day), and we’re very interested to know which movies you guys and gals loved this year. Of course, this stuff is all a matter of personal opinion, but we figured that by whipping up a poll, we could come up with a nice master list of the best horror films of 2016.

Below you’ll find a poll that features nearly all of the notable horror films released in 2016, and all you have to do is place your vote for your personal favorite. There’s also a write-in option for anyone who doesn’t see their favorite movie listed, which you’ll find at the very end. Simply click the “Other” button and write in the movie title, and it will be counted same as the others.

One week from now, we will share the results. So get to voting!

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
