The 10 highest-rated 2025 horror movies
The table below orders the ten films by the Tomatometer percentages recorded in that Rotten Tomatoes snapshot. Tomatometer measures the percentage of professional critics who rated a film positively; it is not an audience-score ranking.

|---|---|---|
| 1. Sinners | 97% | Ryan Coogler’s supernatural period thriller about twin brothers returning to their hometown and confronting a supernatural threat. |
| 2. The Ugly Stepsister | 96% | Emilie Blichfeldt’s grotesque Cinderella revision, built around body horror, gore and fairy-tale subversion. |
| 3. Weapons | 93% | Zach Cregger’s mystery in which every child but one from a class disappears at exactly the same time. |
| 4. Companion | 93% | Drew Hancock’s darkly comic domestic horror with a technological premise. |
| 5. Good Boy | 90% | Ben Leonberg’s story of a dog and its owner moving into a long-vacant family home. |
| 6. Together | 89% | Michael Shanks’ relationship drama turned body horror, starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco. |
| 7. Bring Her Back | 89% | A Danny and Michael Philippou chiller about siblings who discover a ritual at their foster mother’s isolated house. |
| 8. V/H/S Halloween | 89% | A Halloween-themed anthology framed by videotapes and multiple horror stories. |
| 9. 28 Years Later | 88% | Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s return to the Rage Virus universe. |
| 10. Hallow Road | 88% | A pressure-cooker thriller about parents racing to respond after their teenage daughter says she has hit a pedestrian. |

Choose by the kind of horror you want
For supernatural scale and genre fusion
Pick Sinners for a filmmaker-driven blend of period drama, music and supernatural horror. 28 Years Later is the choice if you want the established Rage Virus world and a larger sequel framework.
For body horror and physical transformation
The Ugly Stepsister is the most overtly fairy-tale and grotesque option. Together applies body horror to intimacy and a romantic relationship.
For mystery, disappearance and mounting dread
Weapons centers on a mass disappearance with one child left behind. Hallow Road keeps its tension on an unfolding emergency and the parents’ response.
For technology, domestic unease or dark humor
Companion offers a technologically inflected domestic setup with dark comedy. Good Boy filters an apparently haunted-house story through the experience of a dog and its owner.

What the scores do—and do not—tell you
- The difference between 97% and 96% is one percentage point, not a guarantee that every viewer will prefer Sinners.
- The three films at 89% are tied on the recorded Tomatometer, even though their tones and formats are very different.
- Scores can change as Rotten Tomatoes adds reviews, and films can move in or out of a “best new” guide as newer 2026 releases arrive.
- These figures are critics’ aggregate scores; no audience-score, box-office or viewership statistic is part of this ranking.
