UPDATE: As Halloween approaches, horror fans are buzzing about the latest disappointments in the genre. In a shocking revelation, critics have unveiled the 5 worst horror movies of 2025, with “28 Years Later” taking the unenviable top spot. This list serves as a stark warning for anyone planning their spooky movie marathon this season.
The list, released by film critics just hours ago, highlights the most regrettable viewings of the year. Starting with the most egregious offender, “28 Years Later” has been described as a “convoluted mess” that fails to deliver on the high expectations set for it. Despite being one of the most anticipated films of the year, it has left audiences feeling cheated and disappointed.
“Him,” directed by Justin Tipping, lands at number two. The film attempts to tackle societal issues surrounding sports culture but falters in execution. Critics have noted that its heavy-handed approach detracts from both the horror and sports genres, making it a film to avoid.
In third place is “The Long Walk,” a Stephen King adaptation that critics are calling a bore. Released earlier this year, this film was expected to capture the essence of King’s writing but instead lacks fundamental storytelling elements, leading to a tedious viewing experience.
Another entry, “Death of a Unicorn,” is critiqued for its singular joke premise revolving around a killer unicorn. Critics suggest viewers would be better off watching “Bambi: The Reckoning”, which, despite its own flaws, offers more substance.
Rounding out the list is the disappointing reboot of “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” While fans had hoped for a fresh take, the film has been criticized for its lack of originality and poor writing. Despite being better than its 2006 predecessor, it falls flat compared to the beloved original from 1997.
This urgent news is a reminder to horror enthusiasts: as you prepare for Halloween, steer clear of these cinematic flops. Critics are urging fans to invest their time in films that truly honor the spirit of the genre.
As the horror landscape evolves, audiences can expect more details about upcoming releases and potential hidden gems as the year progresses. Stay tuned for further updates that could reshape your viewing choices this Halloween season.
