The Best & Worst Horror Movies of 2014 – Glenn Packard’s picks
I was lucky enough this year to watch most of the horror movies released in 2014, and there were a few notable movies this year. The list includes many different subgenres: possession, found footage, slasher, ghosts, horror comedy, home invasion, alien, vampire, demonic doll and finally, a Bigfoot film. With preference for slasher horror films, and a love for indie horror movies, here is the best and worst horror films of 2014.
HAPPY HORROR!

THE BEST:
Honorable Mention or #16. WOLF CREEK 2
15. AFFLICTED
14. ODD THOMAS
13. ANNABELLE
12. THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING
This film came from no where for me, and boy did it get my attention. A cocky man who doesn’t believe in GOD or the Devil so he is out to proof to everyone that he is right by documenting him going thru all these different kind of spells and experiments. Along the way you realize you are watching a man discover that he was wrong all this time and he is driven mad along the way.
Cool Moment: Daughter- “The monster……” Dad- “In your dreams?” Daughter- “It’s you daddy!”
Sub-genre: Possession, Found Footage

10. THE DEN
9. 13 SINS
8. EXTRATERRESTRIAL
7. HOUSEBOUND
6. TORMENT
5. DELIVER US FROM EVIL
4. EXISTS
3. THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN
2. KRISTY
1. THE BABADOOK
THE WORST:
5. SEE NO EVIL 2
4. WILLOW CREEK
Like I’ve said before all this is, is a Big Foot movie done Blair Witch Story, so its been done meaning this time around this type of film is a bore!
3. AS ABOVE SO BELOW
This is one of those movies I went into the theatre thinking this film is going to rock and came out saying this movie was garbage., The Pyramid was better then this horror film.
2. VHS: VIRAL
If your into alien penis and vagina then this horror movie is for you. I happen to not be into either. Though the magician segment of the movie was good.
1. ANIMAL
Probably one of the worst horror movies ever made, let me know if you find a horror movie worst then this waste of time.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
