Great Performers: Horror Show (2017)

The year's best actors in a series of short frightening films.

Genre : Horror, Thriller

Runtime : 10M

Director : Floria Sigismondi

Synopsis

Horror films dominated the cultural conversation in 2017. From the surprise hit “Get Out” to the movie adaption of “It” to the campy “Happy Death Day,” scary movies had an unusual hold on the collective imagination during that year. Maybe it's because reality was pretty horrifying, too. To punctuate the end of a hair-raising year, The New York Times Magazine asked ten actors who gave the best performances to play a series of eerie roles.
