With an average IMDb score of 5.9 from over 26 horror movies released in 2008 it was a pretty average year for horror movies overall. We got some great ones (Let the Right One In and Cloverfield) but we also got some serious crap too - just look (or maybe don't) at ReGOREgitated Sacrifice (2008) and The Gateway Meat (2008) for example. It's duds like these that give the horror genre a bad name. But fear not, we've sorted the cream from the crap for you.So grab some snacks and a drink (and maybe something to hide behind) and check out reviews, ratings and trailers for the 2008 - Top 15 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
