Underworld: Blood Wars (Jan. 6th)
Underworld has always straddled the line between action and supernatural horror, but since this fifth installment is a bloody war between vampires and werewolves, it qualifies.
The Bye Bye Man (Jan. 13th)
This film sounds like it has the potential to introduce a great new horror metaphor: that there is an evil entity behind mankind's worst acts. Things get horrific when a group of three friends look too closely into the Bye Bye Man's history.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (Jan. 27th)
Love it or hate it, it's the end of a long road spent killing the undead alongside Mila Jovovich and Co. Respect the milestone.
Rings (Feb. 3rd)
This reboot of The Ring has been delayed, but its talented cast (like Vincent D'Onofrio, Johnny Galecki, Lizzie Brocheré) has us wondering if one of the scariest movies of the 2000s has a real shot at new (after)life.
Get Out (Feb. 24th)
This one has potential to be explosive for a lot of reasons, taking the racial tensions of modern America and turning it into a horror parable about a young black man's trip to the deranged world of privelge at his white girlfriend's estate home.
Kong: Skull Island (March 10th)
This King Kong reboot had a wonderfully "horror genre" tone to its first trailer, and it seems like that tone is going to work very well for the overalll film. Don't miss out.
Alien: Covenant (May 19th)
FINALLY, after all the bad Alien sequels (3 & 4), the horrible AVP spinoffs, and the weird misstep that was Prometheus, Ridley Scott is going to bridge the Prometheus / Alien gap with a proper sci-fi/horror gore fest.
