Letterboxd’s Highest Rated Horror Movies of 2023 List Includes ‘Talk to Me’ and Several Surprises
Here on Bloody Disgusting we’ve published several articles (find them all here) covering *our* favorite horror movies of last year, but it’s always interesting to take a look at year-in-review roundups from other places as well. Letterboxd, for example, kicks off each new year by spotlighting the previous year’s top hits, and their full 2023 Year in Review is now live.
As always, films are broken up into various categories based on highest user ratings, including the 10 Highest Rated Horror Movies of 2023. It’s hardly surprising that the list is topped by horror hits including Talk to Me, When Evil Lurks, and Scream VI, but there are also several films on the list that you probably wouldn’t expect – and maybe haven’t even heard of.

Other horror-adjacent films including Godzilla Minus One and Poor Things pop up on other lists, with Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things in the #2 spot on the list of Highest Rated Overall for 2023. Godzilla Minus One made the same list, finding itself in the #7 spot.
Godzilla Minus One is also the #1 highest rated movie of 2023 in the Action/Adventure category, while Poor Things is last year’s #1 highest rated movie in the Comedy category.
Poor Things is also found in the #1 spot on the Highest Rated Fantasy films list, while Ari Aster’s nightmare comedy Beau is Afraid came in at #10 on the very same Fantasy list.
And then there’s the Highest Rated Sci-fi list, which includes Poor Things at #1, Godzilla Minus One at #2, Shin Kamen Rider at #7, and The Artifice Girl at #10.
The horror genre has a few entries on the Most Popular – Women Directors list, with Five Nights at Freddy’s at #5, Cocaine Bear at #6, and the slasher Totally Killer at #9.
Bloody Disgusting’s SCREAMBOX Original horror movie The Outwaters made the cut for Most Divisive Movies of 2023, finding itself on the list alongside buzzed about horror movies including Skinamarink, Slotherhouse, Nefarious, and Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
