I’ll be honest for a long time I refused to partake in the VOD paid services, I focused on actual physical DVD/Blu-rays while occasional dabbling in the free online sites such as YouTube, Tubi, Hulu and countless others. However, one day laid up in bed with a cold I decided to try out Amazon Prime, well it proved me wrong concerning the popularity of it, in addition the convenience, now they don’t have everything – who does, but the vast inventory of horror quite overwhelming.
Since then been watching quite a few… okay a lot of horror films, yet still balance it with my intake of Blu-rays, so why tell all of this, simply as many sites give a rundown of latest movies on Netflix (which I don’t have) in the horror genre, I thought of doing one for Amazon Prime. Therefore, with a site so vast its tad difficult, as they constantly adding both current year and previous movies from decades ago, hence I’m limited this to the 2018 and 2017, while limiting to the customary 13 often used for these lists. I’m choosing a random sample (out of the current available 358), as time goes by this list likely become better refine. The 2018 is not over but this isn’t the last time for an Amazon Prime Horror Film List, so only few present represent the year.
