The past year was quite successful in terms of interesting new releases in film distribution. It was among the new tapes and a lot of good horror and thrillers. We bring to your attention the list of horrors of 2015. We have selected the most successful paintings of the genre.

Gate of Darkness

Professor Michael Cole's little son goes missing during Halloween celebrations. The police were powerless in search of the child, and the father himself began to investigate the loss of his son. He learns about an ancient belief that once a year a portal opens between the world of the dead and the living. The investigation leads him to the events that happened in the city many years ago. Then the townspeople brutally de alt with the young woman, accusing her of witchcraft. The young children of the unfortunate woman also suffered. Before her execution, she cursed her tormentors. Kol realized that the curse continues to operate, and the vengeful spirit of the deceased annually takes one child to the kingdom of the dead. He has hope to save his son - he just needs to wait until the next Halloween night and try to get through the gate to the spirit world.

Gate of Darkness is not the only film of its kind for the lead actor, Nicolas Cage. On hisaccount participation in such mystical films as "The Wicker Man", "Ghost Rider" and "Time of the Witches". The film received mixed reviews - if the audience, despite the unfinished plot, still liked the picture, then the film reviewers were less complacent and criticized the Gates of Darkness.

Astral: Chapter 3

The list of horrors of 2015 was replenished with another part of the stories about the other world, the vengeful spirits of which are trying to harm the living. This is a prequel to the first two films of the trilogy. The viewer will once again meet the strong psychic Alice Reiner. This time she will help the girl Queen, who mistook a dangerous entity from the underworld for the ghost of her recently deceased mother.

The third part of the trilogy turned out to be no less interesting than the first film, which received high marks from critics in its time. "Astral 3" also received positive reviews.

Reverse 666

A group of friends, at the request of the priest, comes to the old building of a psychiatric clinic to clear it of debris. Once inside, the friends decide to have a party. In the morning, most of its participants leave, and the small company remaining in the building does not know that two friends found an old tape recorder in one of the rooms and turned on the cassette that was in it. With this, they released an evil demon into our world. Having captured the body of one of the girls, he begins to hunt for the rest of his friends.

"Reverse 666" is a classic horror film, dynamic, with an abundance of bloody scenes and screamers. The film did not receivecritical acclaim, but not a failure either. It will quite appeal to those viewers who expect more scary moments and blood flows from horror.

Crimson Peak

The list of horrors of 2015 continues with the new work of Guillermo del Toro, which caused a mixed reaction from critics and viewers. Crimson Peak is an extraordinarily beautiful gothic horror film with an excellent cast. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Miu Wasikowski and Jessica Chaystein. The action of the picture takes the viewer to the beginning of the 20th century in England. Baronet Thomas Sharp brings his young wife from America to the dilapidated Allerdale estate. The house makes a depressing impression on her, but for the sake of her husband she is ready to live in it. Soon, the new owner of the estate realizes that Allerdale is keeping a dark secret. The ghosts that the girl saw as a child begin to haunt her again.

The film was critically acclaimed for its atmospheric, opulent sets, costumes for the main characters and a great cast.

Unfriend

The list of horrors of 2015 continues with a sensational tape that tells about the dangers that social networks carry. All events in the picture take place during one evening. Six high school students communicate via Skype and notice that a stranger under the nickname billie227 is present in the general chat. They try to turn it off, but it doesn't work. Then friends decide that this is some kind of failure, and stop paying attention to the uninvitedguest. Meanwhile, one of them, Blair, receives a Facebook message from a close friend, Laura, who recently committed suicide. The girl decides that this is someone's cruel joke, and removes Laura from her friends. Suddenly, billie227 joins the conversation and begins to find out from his friends who posted a video compromising Laura on the network, because of which she committed suicide.

Critics reacted to the picture neutrally, and viewers found the idea of the supernatural online very exciting.

Keanu Reeves' new role

In 2015, a film was released with the participation of this talented and beloved by many viewers actor - "Who's There". Keanu Reeves does not often please with works in the thriller and horror genre, 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 are a happy married couple with two children. When the family goes on vacation the next weekend, Evan stays home to finish an urgent project. When two drenched girls knocked on the door in the evening 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 is rather a thriller with elements of trash. You should not expect anything special from him - this is an ordinary picture and far from the most successful role of Keanu Reeves. However, it is always interesting to look at the game of a good actor in a film genre unusual for him. Both critics and the audience were unanimous this time - the film received few positive reviews.

Failed sequel to one of the scariesthorror movies of the last decade

When the horror Sinister was released in 2012, it was called the most successful picture of the genre in recent years. It is not surprising that it was decided to remove the continuation of the successful tape. They did not think about the name for a long time - this is how the film "Sinister 2" appeared.

Sheriff James Ranson continues to investigate the terrible tragedy that happened to the family of writer Allison Osw alt. He meets a young woman, Courtney, who is hiding with her two children from a tyrannical husband in a small house next to a church. She does not know that the demon Bagul chose her family as the next victim.

If the original at one time received high marks from critics, then the sequel, despite the potential of the tape, falls short of the first part. Sinister fans are likely to be disappointed with the sequel, while those who didn't see the first part of the horror will be satisfied with the sequel - it has everything to tickle your nerves.

Movies such as The Lazarus Effect, the remake of Poltergeist and Horror are also noteworthy. They not quite deservedly were bypassed by the attention of critics and spectators. Standing apart is such a fascinating picture as "Bone Tomahawk", filmed in the genre of thriller, western and horror. The unhurried narrative ends with a dynamic scene of a decisive battle between the main characters and a terrifying enemy.
