Love Horror’s Best Horror Films of 2012

And so with a teary eye, we wave goodbye to 2012.

It was an eventful year filled with good horror both on the large and small screens, exciting events such as the ever growing Frightfest and Grimm festivals and speaking from our perspective, a good year for reaching an even wider audience and having great fun in the process.

It only seems right that we should end the year with a look back at some of the best horror films of 2012 – from our perspective at least.
These are the films that really had an impact on us here at Love Horror towers, which is no mean feat considering the fact that a majority of us are decaying zombies with little brain matter left.

10. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Yes, we really did like it. Vampires and full-on action-packed fun, all wrapped up in an entirely fictional historical context.

9. Tower Block

A tense and claustrophic thrills on a gritty London housing estate which was surprisingly good.

6. Rec 3: Genesis

It’s the killer rabid virus that keeps on giving (and killing). Somehow the producers of this franchise manage to keep the adrenalin levels high.

2. The Cabin in the Woods

The old horror staple of the isolated cabin in the woods gets taken to a whole new dimension. This genre busting film hits you square between the eyes.
