It’s that time again… get those votes in for the 2022 FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards! But of course, we want you to make an informed vote so we are going to spend the next few weeks celebrating and spotlighting all of our incredible nominees, kicking it off with… Best Wide Release! The good news is, if there are any titles you missed on this list, they are all readily available to stream or in most instances, on Blu-ray as well. Also good news — even if you’ve watched all five of these titles, you have time to revisit each of them before we celebrate our nominees for Best Limited Release Movie next week! Happy viewing and congratulations to all of the wonderful horror makers who fueled our year with (the right kind) of nightmares.
