Ranking Every Horror Movie I Watched In 2022 

Barbarian is one of those movies where you will never be able to recreate your first viewing experience. I would literally have to have amnesia to be able to watch it again. Absolutely incredible.

I like how Michael Myers is waiting in suspense at your window to see where his new movie landed on your list.

Omg! I love Haunted Hippie. I found her channel shortly after finding yours. Both of you seem to have very different tastes in horror but that’s what I love about both channels! Watching two very different reviews on the same horror movies is fun and interesting to me. I wish more fans of the horror genre were open to accepting other peoples’ thoughts on horror movies no matter if the person disliked one that they loved. We all should thrive on having different views and be open to discussions rather than arguments lol. As always, great video, Cody, I look forward to your upcoming videos. Happy New Year!

I don’t understand why Hollywood can’t just give the people what they want. Why not give us Jeepers Creepers cathedral that was supposed to have Trish and the father and son from part 2 kill it once and for all? Or hell give us a western type jeepers creepers with him back in the old west.

I loved Barbarian. I went into it knowing absolutely nothing about it and thought it was incredible.

Glad you included The Black Phone as I really enjoyed it as well and surprised it is not making onto the majority of similar channels’ best of lists that I follow.

The fact I knew NOTHING about Barbarian was the highlight for me. The part where Justin Long showed on screen, I legit though HBO Max screwed up and sent me to a whole different movie. It was PERFECT in how it set up something you expect just to pull the rug right out from under you in the best of ways. As another post said, I would go through amnesia to see this film for the first time again.

Cody I enjoy your reviews and takes on film. Keep up the awesome work. Can’t wait for your next content

X/Pearl, Barbarian, Scream and The Black Phone top my list. Really great year for horror. Great list and Happy New Year bud

Love your content Cody!! Keep up the great work!!

Really great list cody👌looking forward to seeing more of your content hope you have a happy new year 🎉 ❤

Terrifier 2 will be looked back upon as one the best horror movies of the decade. I could write a paragraph. This movie was almost perfect in every way. Terrifier as well, and even the small indie that started it all.

Thanks for your list Cody… X was my favourite horror movie of the year too… unfortunately we didn’t get a theatrical release of Pearl in Australia, I’m talking about Melbourne where I live…however I loved X and I’m looking forward to watching Pearl.. I’ve placed an order to have it delivered from the US.. have an amazing new year with your family mate, and keep those videos coming in 2023 👍👍👍

The 5 best for me: Terrifier 2, The Black Phone, PEARL, X, and SCREAM (2022)

Thanks sm for the shoutout! Sorry my devilish good looks got you into some trouble lol. Very solid ranking! You verbalized so many of my exact feelings about the lower ranked films and I had to put Two Witches on my watchlist, cheers!

X was such a great movie. The editing, cinematography and choice of music and sound was nearly perfect. Seeing Pearl soon and really looking forward to Maxxxine! Really hope they stick the landing and end it as a trilogy.

It always makes me happy to see one of my favorite youtubers promote another one. You and Kylie both give the best reviews. Thorough and thought out. Plus you two are so different and I fall somewhere in the middle of you both with my tastes so I just kinda blend the reviews together to form my expectation, haha. Also, I'm definitely putting Two Witches on my list. I hadn't even heard of this one, but I greatly enjoyed The Witch and Gretal and Hansel so I'm excited about that. Bodies Bodies Bodies...I got to the end of that one and didn't hate it, but didn't love it, and I was more annoyed that I didn't hate it if that makes sense. I didn't hate TCM 2022. I thought it was entertaining. It certainly wasn't the worst this franchise has ever done lol The Pet Semetary cut in for Ends was hilarious! Its true though! Orphan First Kill...I thought it was a dumb idea. That they had waited too long. That they could never top the original in terms of the twist. Then it happened and I was jaw on the floor for a good ten minutes. Hellraiser was a big surprise in terms of not expecting much and being happy in the end. I don't like the franchise. I was surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. Barbarian was my biggest surprise of the year. I just sat there with my mouth open for half of it. Every sharp left, lol. X...I wasn't super excited for X until I saw your review, but its one of my favorites of the year. Its definitely in my top 5 of the year.

I saw "The Black Phone" last night and it was extremely good. The two main kid actors did an amazing job!! And then Barbarian was SO good. Went into that one blind as well.

What a amazing year for Horror this was! My fav was X. Great list as always Cody

Here because Haunted Hippie was mentioned!! Kylie is one of the best reviewers on RU-vid- hilarious, super informative, remarkably well-researched, and delightfully opinionated!

Love your vids!! Good list and insights....I did play the "to where" drinking game...but I was hammered 5 minutes in😂😂

If The Menu had had more horror elements, would have been in your top ten or five? I know you love it from you Fantastic Fest ranking list. Love all of your videos by the way. They are really informative and entertaining.

Great reviews! I saw Crimes Of The Future at the theater, and I was a little numb afterwards. I got so much more out of it the second time I watched it. There are a ton of layers there.

Happy new year Cody keep doing you

My Top 5 this year is X, Barbarian, Terrifier 2, Prey, and Black Phone. So many good releases.

Awesome ranking! Definitely agreed with your top 4. Pearl, X, and The Black Phone really nailed their period stylization, and Barbarian nailed mixing a B Movie bonkers plot with A24-esque thematic subtext. P.s. your channel definitely is in my top 5 RU-vid review channels! Cant wait to see what ‘23 brings.

Super dope to see you show Kylie some love

My favorite youtuber !! Keep up the great work Cody ! Hope you and the family an awesome New Years celebration !

Really enjoyed the editing/fill in clips. Nice work Cody 🤘

Dude I love how you gave haughted hippie props she's on of my favorites just like you

Well done Cody on your first year being a full time RU-vidr.

Love the rankings as always my man! Happy new years brother

I’m so surprised at how many of these I haven’t seen yet….awesome list man!

Great list cody ❤ Happy new year 🎉

There were some good ones. I felt like I saw quite a few classics this year.

Haunted Hippie is such a good channel it was nice to see you shout her out, As Palpatine would say "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"

I am from Germany and I like your channel and I share your passion concerning movies and the way you are presenting it here. There are a lot of movies that I forgot during the time but there are also a lot that I didn't know. Go on like that. It is absolutely great. (I listen to Metal, too) \m/.

Smile is the best movie of the year

This is going to be a stacked list for sure.

Love your vids 😊

Excited to watch your list, Cody. I watched Haunted Hippie's countdown a few days ago.I subscribed to her after you both were on Sledgehammer Horror's video and she's awesome - would love to see a collaboration between the two of you.

Happy new year Cody!

Can’t wait to see where The Black Phone ranks that was my favorite!

My list 5.leatherface 4. Halloween ends 3. Scream 5 2. Terrifier 2 1. Black phone I have never heard about the other movies

What a great year for horror. Hope 2023 puts out some memorable ones too

Good video! Deadstream was my favorite of 2022 (brilliantly made found footage horror comedy with Evil Dead influences).

I've seen and enjoyed most of these. You also got me curious to check out some of the ones you didn't rank as high which are on Shudder such as The Watcher, Speak No Evil, and Resurrection due to your comments. Even though I enjoy experimental cinema, I must admit that Crime of the Future broke me. I saw it in the theatre when I was tired, and after having left, had no idea how much of the movie I watched due to nodding off several times. Upon waking up, I had no idea if I was dreaming or had just seen it in the movie.

Baller list Cody. I agree with like all of it haha. Finally watched X and Pearl recently. Absolutely love those movies.

Hey thanks for shouting out Kylie from Haunted Hippie! I mod for her. She's one of my favorite people on yt. And I watched this whole video. You did a great job!

I agree with you about bodies I’m so glad I’ve found someone who shares my opinion as so many people loved it

Awesome video man and also terrifier 2 has now made 12 million dollars worldwide.

X #1 horror movie of the year, HELL YEAH! I agree, 2022 was a great year for horror. I also agree that it's a travesty that NOBODY seems to be giving Mia Goth any sort of Oscar attention for her performance in Pearl.

Really loved this list and enjoy watching your channel. Ironically I have been a fan of horror for years but must confess I've never seen a popular movement confuse me more than the mass embrace of X. For me it's a film that for half its running time tilted at something really interesting only to devolve into the most bog standard of bog standard slashers. All the directions it could have gone and it chose the most mundane. I'm more of an ideas person and so have things like Men, Bodiesx3, and Fresh much higher up the list in comparison to things like Scream and Terrifier (the sort of things that to me are just-fine), but I get horror fandom is heterogeneous and we're looking at and for different things and we should accept and embrace that. Looking forward to seeing more of your content. PS: I think Crimes of the Future is very, very much a PURE Science Fiction movie and a very good one. I think perceiving it as a horror movie does it a disservice, because really it's only because body manipulation that's involved and we think of that as horror, but as presented in the movie it isn't. PPS: ...However I absolutely think The Northman IS a horror film, and the best of the year. It presents both tradition and honour as monsters and makes a cases that both ideas - which are ultimately lies - are truly horrifying parts of the human experience and condition.

My top 5 of the year is X in first, Barbarian second, Pearl third, terrifier 2 fourth, and the black phone fifth. My least favorites goes to Halloween ends, bodies, and jeepers creepers in last place.

amazing list. hopefully 2023 will be just ask good for horror fans

Prey & The Menu shouldve been on the list especially since Black Phone, Bodies Bodies Bodies & Nope made it on there and those are all thrillers 🤷🏻‍♂️

Halloween Ends isn't a terrible movie, it's just a terrible Halloween movie. Alot like Halloween 3 Season of the Witch, if they had cut Michael and Lorey out and called it anything but Halloween, it would've been a decent slasher film about a innocent guy pushed to become the monster everyone sees him as.

Awesome video! Gonna check out Fresh later today! Thanks Cody!

Cody is a class act giving Haunted Hippie a shoutout.

I really appreciate your reviews. You saved me time and money on JC Reborn.

Great video My list would be #1 Barbarian #2 The Black Phone #3 (really surprised me) Hellraiser Note: Pearl isn’t released in my country yet, not till March 😡

Watching The Invitation without the trailer and I rank it very high up on my list, but after seeing the trailer I understand the hate. It just seemed fun. I would've loved an ending where she fully embraces the vampire life. Great list and I have a couple movies to watch!

Love the T-Shirt! Up the Irons 🤘

Terrifier 2 was my favorite. I also enjoyed Smile and X.

So funny you like Signs. One of my favorites also, but my husband hates the end! Lol! 😝

Lmao, at the gen-z montra mashup!

This has been a really good year for Horror Movies

Great ranking! I loved Terrifier 2. It was my favorite horror film of the year!

He talked about Terrifier 2 The longest and the happiest... think he needs to make it his 1

35?? I feel like I watch that amount every month. Only sort of kidding, love your channel. Thanks for the content!

Barbarian was the most fun theatre experience I have ever had. So much fun showing it to my fiancé with zero context. Their promotion was impeccable!

I clicked on this video and immediately knew what the last place choice was gonna be. I said to myself “Cody really hated that new Jeeeper’s Creepers. I bet that’s his worst.” Glad I know you somewhat well lol 😂.

Sosie Bacon did a _REALLY_ great job in "Smile". You'd think she really was traumatized. Loved this movie. I was _VERY_ surprised. Like you, I wasn't really expecting much, but as of this writing, I've seen it 4 times. I hated Scream. It seems like it could've been written by grade school kids.

Smile: Just watched that one yesterday. About 3/4 of the way thru, I said verbatim that this movie was It Follows meets The Ring. just as you said. I also concur on the vast majority of the points you made on other films. I guess I need to subscribe. I put Watcher a bit higher on my list. It stuck with me for a long time after seeing it, and a rewatch made me appreciate it even more.

X is my favorite horror movie of the year as well. Watched it two times and after my second viewing, this firmly placed into my top 10 slashers and just one of my favorite horror films

There was a lot of solid horror movies but the only ones I thought reached the next level were Pearl and The Cursed
