10 Upcoming 2017 Horror Movies I’m Excited About – Dread Central

Were almost at the halfway point of 2017, if you can believe that. Since the year started, weve gotten some pretty incredible horror films that have been scoring big at the box office and there are no signs of that trend slowing down. In fact, horror may have one of its biggest years ever as there are still several months to go and some big titles that will be gracing the silver screen.

Since there are so many interesting titles coming out, I wanted to highlight 10 that I think will stand above the rest and offer fans something truly special. So, join me below as I pick 10 horror films that are truly exciting me and then let me know what you are looking forward to in the comments!

To be completely honest, Im rather anxious about this film. You see, I want to love it. Ive adored the Alien franchise ever since I was a young boy and the thought of any chance to return to that universe excites me. That being said, the trailers havent exactly instilled me with a lot of confidence. I guess thats why Im so excited about it because I simply dont know what Im going to get. All I know is that Ill give it every chance to be amazing.

A24 is a studio that, at this point, can do pretty much no wrong in my eyes. After The Witch and Ex Machina, they have carte blanche to release genre films and snag my attention. The above trailer is proof that teasing the audience is far more effective than giving them scenes from every act and then expect them to enjoy the final product.

While Im not really sure how much horror there is going to be in this new Universal Monster Cinematic Universe, I honestly believe that it will be a chance for adults to introduce the original films to a younger generation OR that it will encourage the younger generation to seek out the originals on their own. That alone makes me love this very concept and want to support it entirely.

Know why Im excited about this film? Because it was just about to get released on home video when it was yanked for a theatrical release. I honestly cant remember the last time I heard of something like that and it has sparked my interest enormously. Additionally, Ive heard from people who I trust who have seen the movie and they absolutely adored it. Thats enough for me.

I love the CGI Resident Evil films. Theyre not flawless but they ARE miles ahead of the live-action adaptation franchise. Far more true to the game series, these films look great, have a wonderful blend of action and horror, and expand upon the universe of the franchise in fascinating ways. This upcoming entry looks like itll offer the same!

At this point, Im excited to see the film to see if it actually exists! Attempts at adapting The Dark Tower have been in the works for years! After a couple of date changes, I just want to know if this film lives up to the hopes and expectations of Kings devoted fans. I sincerely hope so because this world is vast and rich with possibilities.

Hear me out, okay? In horror, there are times when a sequel not only matches its predecessor but can also exceed expectations and result in something fantastic. While I wasnt the biggest fan of the first Annabelle, Im still rather interested to see where this James Wan spinoff series might go. Plus, David F. Sandberg is proving himself to be quite the horror force to be reckoned with and I want to support that growth!

People, I cant tell you how excited for this film I am. I have such high hopes and expectations and I have a confident feeling that I wont be disappointed. The above trailer shows that atmosphere, style, and substance are going to be integral to this story, making for a very satisfying movie experience.

Cmon, how can anyone NOT be excited about a new Chucky film? The killer doll has become a horror icon and seeing as how this series is still ongoing without any remakes or reboots, I want to support that continuation as much as I can. Plus, Brad Dourif is the best.

Yes, I realize that this is the third Stephen King adaptation on this list. Yknow what? Im totally okay with that. The man is a master of horror, so any adaptation of his work immediately becomes something Im interested in. Considering the seemingly unadaptable story contained within Geralds Game and factoring in that its directed by Mike Flanagan, I think this will end up being something very special. Now, all we need is a release date
