Therefore, we present a compilation with the most terrifying films of 2017 . Although the bar has not been particularly high this year, we have found some juicy proposals and even some other original formula, such as Happy day of your death or Let me out.
In the video above you have a quick summary of the best scary movies of this year , but then we present more details of each, in addition to a link to the criticism that we dedicated to them at the time. Before launching, we present another video with the most anticipated horror films for 2018:
It has not managed to match the success of the film on which it is inspired, Deadly Line, but it has once again put an interesting premise on the table: what happens just at the moment we die? Do we get to some kind of special trance? And at what point do we have the line of no return? Ellen Page stars in this horror movie.
9. Rings
The everlasting Samara returns to the fray and this time its threat is on a global scale. In a world as hyperconnected as ours, how many screens can we see it coming out of the well? Again, it has not reached the impact of the original The Ring movie , but it has a couple of most shocking scenes.

3. Arrives at night
A family lives in a house in the countryside since a mysterious presence lurks outside them. One day, another family breaks into the house and asks for shelter. Although both families try to live together, soon doubts and suspicions will enrarecerán the environment, at the same time that the strange presence is gaining power abroad. With this interesting premise, one of the best tense films of the year is developed, although it is not a strictly horror film. In any case, we recommend the viewing of Arrive at night because of the oppressive atmosphere it presents and the doubts that will creep into your head.
2. It (That)
All of us who turned thirty were marked by the miniseries based on the work of Stephen King, in which the clown Pennywise tormented a group of preadolescents. The new version slightly updates the formula and gives it a greater audiovisual impact. Although it does not get scary, it does present some really impressive images and keeps us in constant tension, thanks in large part to a great performance of the protagonist kids and the convincing characterization of the fearsome clown. Undoubtedly, one of the best horror films of 2017.
1. Let me out

With a really atypical approach starts this accurate and disconcerting film, in which a boy of color will meet his family and all seem to behave in an unusual way. Little by little, we will delve into an exasperating race for survival in which hypnosis, deceit and racism are key elements of the plot. Let me out has been one of the most amazing movies of the year and one of the most terrifying f ilms without having to resort to the usual formulas. Give him a chance if you want to experience another form of suspense.
