Best movies of 2019
We dissect the cinema of 2019. Here is our top ranking from best to worst based strictly on our editorial autopsies.
Bong Joon-ho delivers a cinematic gem that effortlessly leaps across genres, morphing from pitch-black comedy about real estate scams into a bloody social tragedy.
Rose Glass delivers one of the most dazzling directorial debuts in modern psychological horror with A24, blurring the razor-thin line between religious ecstasy and clinical psychosis.
Robert Eggers locks Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in a godforsaken rock to gift us a hypnotic, black-and-white maritime fever dream.
Ari Aster proves there’s nothing more terrifying than a Scandinavian folk festival, emotional codependency, and giant flower costumes.
Alexandre Aja delivers a flawless B-movie rollercoaster about a swimmer trapped in a flooded basement during a Category 5 hurricane—with Florida’s oversized gators as the cherry on top.
Paco Plaza delivers a Galician thriller with more bile than brilliance, where Luis Tosar shines amid a limp script and violence that leaves you wanting. Revenge or just routine?
Sam Levinson turns teenage suffering into a neon-and-glitter spectacle—but is this cinema or an advanced tutorial on how to ruin your life with style?
A scathing review of Yeo Siew Hua’s Incantation, a 6-minute descent into darkness that lingers like a curse
Vincenzo Natali adapts Stephen King and Joe Hill, turning an innocent cornfield into a suffocating labyrinth of time loops and cosmic rocks with more mystical pretensions than an Instagram guru.
A social allegory that moves like a broken elevator: powerful at first, then circling the same floors until you’re bored of your own despair.
Yummy: The All-You-Can-Eat Zombie Buffet No One Asked For (And Everyone Would Puke Over Twice)
(2019)Lars Damoiseaux serves up a low-budget zombie feast with plastic surgeons more sinister than a 1970s operating room. Cheap blood, unintentional laughs, and a script that reeks of expired formaldehyde.
A biting review that dissects the mediocrity of Bloodline, the latest Blumhouse entry that promises blood but delivers routine.
A biting review of 'Trick or Treat', where the horror atmosphere stays on the surface and talent dissolves into clichés.
