Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: A Reflection On Our 2013 Horror Predictions

Alright, it's no secret that my counterpart Remy and myself like to play psychic and predict what horror movies will be worth your while, and 2012 was no different. Perusing through the 2013 catalogue, we picked a handful of movies that really got our inner horror geek excited, from all different subgenres, and hoped to dazzle you with bold and righteous predictions - which of course didn't hold true for half the films. Seriously, we didn't back down, and even on the more independent features we watched, we rated them with the upmost honesty. If a movie isn't worth your while, it doesn't matter how much filming budget it had. A boring movie is a boring movie - no doubt about it.

Hey look, I am an asshole who seemed to have fun picking TBD films, and the only films I did pick that actually came out ended up sucking more dick than a drunken Lohan. Awesome. Might be time to look into that career at a drive-thru.

Still, though, I am kind of obsessed with Joe Hill, and cannot recommend this book and Heart Shaped Box enough. They are terrifying at times, and impossible to put down.

Nato – You’re Next

Ok, this just isn’t getting fair anymore. I promise I didn’t just take all the good flicks. Tough break this year, Remdog.

Yeah, so You’re Next just continued my streak of stellar 2013 predictions. Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett had a tremendous amount of fun milking the “home invasion” subgenre of horror for all its worth, and then turning the subgenre upside down in a heartbeat. Watching You’re Next made me feel like my head was in a blender – but in a good way.

The whole idea of You’re Next is that some psychopaths crash a family get-together, for motives I won’t reveal, but one of the guests has some secrets of her own. The character fights back, and proves to be a handful for the animal mask wearing invaders. Chaos ensues, traps are set, and hyper-violence reigns supreme. Of course, there’s plenty of other trickery afoot, and one of the most memorable kills of the year – isn’t that enough to give Wingard’s film “best of the year” honors?
