COVID-19 impacted the number of movies released in 2020, but the horror genre didn't seem to really suffer from it. Quality will always be subjective, but in my opinion, this year has examples at every point of the spectrum. I've witnessed some shockingly awful horror flicks (Fantasy Island, The Grudge, The Turning, You Should Have Left), a few "wasted potential" examples (Gretel & Hansel, The Rental, The New Mutants), some pretty decent ones (Underwater, Antebellum, Come Play), and more than just a couple of incredible films, some might even end up in my Top10 of the year (The Invisible Man, The Lodge).

Wicked creepy intro, so much wrong with the scene, emotionally and physically. We have a situation we're dealing with s the story begins to develop, and I'm unsure of the status of a main character.

Devastatingly Unique Film.
