The year in horror was atrocious, utterly forgettable and thoroughly disappointing.
No real classics, no lasting, memorable cornerstones of the genre... Instead, what we got were mostly tired, uninspired or at best well-meaning but incomplete or misguided attempts at something vaguely different.
These are the best horror films –according to me- that had their premiere in the Western hemisphere during 2011.
