      It's that scary time of year, so here's 10 of my fave horror flicks from the last decade, two of which--Hereditary and A Quiet Place--screen at Vancity Theatre on Halloween night.

      Hereditary (2018) “The wrath of Satan seems pretty tame compared to the suffering that damaged family members can inflict on one another.”

      A Quiet Place (2018) “…ultimately A Quiet Place emerges as an effective nightmare-maker for parents that is one of those rarest and most welcome commodities for fright-flick fans: horror with heart.”

      Get Out (2017) “If you only see one horror movie this year, let it be Get Out. And if you only see one movie of any kind this year, same thing.”

      10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) “Go into 10 Cloverfield Lane mostly blind and let its mysteries unfold like a long-lost, newly discovered Twilight Zone episode. Because that’s kinda what it is.”

      It Follows (2015) “Every once in a while a low-budget indie fright flick comes along that makes everything on the major studios’ horror plate look like a pile of steaming crap.”

      The Babadook (2014) “Forget Insidious and its ilk, The Babadook is where it’s at for supernatural horror in the home.”

      Evil Dead (2013) “In memory of beloved horror-booster Roger Ebert I’m gonna give it one hideously mangled tongues-up.”

      The Cabin in the Woods (2012) “The Cabin in the Woods is crammed with so many twists and turns that the mere thought of reviewing it and ruining the fun for others is scary in and of itself.”

      Frozen (2010) “Green avoids Hatchet‘s corny clichés and totally redeems himself with a harrowing portrait of humans at the mercy of the great outdoors.”

      Stuck (2008) “Stuck is not only the most entertaining horror flick to hit North American theatres this year, it’s arguably the top Canadian shocker of all time.”
