"Reverse 666" is a classic horror film, dynamic, with an abundance of bloody scenes and screamers. The film was not approved by critics, but it can not be called a failure. He will quite like those viewers who expect from horrors more terrible moments and blood flows.

«Crimson peak»

The list of horrors of 2015 continues the new work of Guillermo del Toro, which caused an ambiguous reaction of critics and spectators. "Crimson Peak" - an unusually beautiful film, shot in the genre of Gothic horror with a great team of performers. In the lead roles you can see Tom Hiddleston, Miu Wasikowski and Jessica Cheystein. The action of the painting takes the viewer to England at the beginning of the 20th century. In the declining estate of Allarddale, its owner, Baronet Thomas Sharpe, brings a young wife from America.

Ghosts, which the girl saw as a child, again begin to haunt her.

The film received high ratings of critics for atmospheric, luxurious scenery, costumes of the main characters and a magnificent cast.

"Remove from Friends"

The list of horrors of 2015 continues the sensational tape, narrating about the dangers that social networks carry in themselves. All the events in the picture take place during one evening. Six senior pupils communicate via Skype and notice that in the general chat there is a stranger under the nickname billie227. They try to turn it off, but it does not work. Then friends decide that this is some kind of failure, and stop paying attention to the intruder. At this time one of them, Blair, comes a message in "Facebook" from a close friend of Laura, who recently committed suicide. The girl decides that this is someone's evil joke, and removes Laura from friends. Suddenly, billie227 joins in a conversation and begins to find out from friends who published a video compromising Laura on the network, because of which she committed suicide.

Critics reacted to the film neutrally, and to viewers the idea of the supernatural in the network seemed very fascinating.

New Role Keanu Reeves

In 2015, a film with the participation of this talented and beloved by many spectators actor - "Who's There" appeared on the screens. Keanu Reeves is not often happy with works in the genre of thriller and horror, but this time he decided to show himself in a new role. According to the plot of the picture, the architect Evan Webber and his wife - a happy married couple, bringing up two children. When on the next weekend the family goes on vacation, Evan stays at home to finish the urgent project. When in the evening two knocked-down girls knocked on the door and asked for help, the architect could not refuse them. As it turned out, in vain.

The film "Who's There" can not be called horror - it's more like a thriller with elements of thrash. Do not expect from him something special - this is an ordinary picture and not the most successful role Keanu Reeves. However, it is always interesting to look at the game of a good actor in an unusual genre of cinema. Both critics and viewers were unanimous this time - the film received few positive reviews.

Unfortunate sequel to one of the most terrible horror movies of the last decade

When the horror of "Sinister" appeared on the screens in 2012, he was named the most successful picture of the genre of recent years. Not surprisingly, it was decided to withdraw the continuation of the successful tape. Over the title for a long time did not think - so the film "Sinister 2" appeared.

Sheriff James Ranson continues to investigate the terrible tragedy that occurred with the writer's family, Ellison Oswalt. He meets a young woman, Courtney, who is hiding with two children from a tyrant husband in a small house near the church. She does not know that the demon Bagul chose the next victim to her family.

If the original at one time received high ratings of critics, then the sequel, despite the potential of the tape, does not reach the first part. Fans of "Sinister", most likely, will be disappointed by the continuation, and those who have not seen the first part of horror, will remain satisfied with the sequel - it has everything to tickle your nerves.

Also worthy of attention are such films as "The Lazarus Effect", a remake of "Poltergeist" and "Horror". They were not quite deservedly bypassed by the attention of critics and spectators. Standing out is such an exciting picture, as "Bone Tomahawk", shot in the genre of a thriller, western and horror. The unhurried narrative ends with a dynamic scene of the decisive battle between the protagonists and the terrifying enemy.
