With an average IMDb score of 5.7 from over 17 horror movies released in 1991 it was a pretty average year for horror movies overall. We got some great ones (The Silence of the Lambs and Naked Lunch) but we also got some serious crap too - just look (or maybe don't) at Alligator II: The Mutation (1991) and Curse III: Blood Sacrifice (1991) 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 1991 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
