  "account": "In 2026, IGN compiled a list of top-reviewed horror movies, showcasing a variety of subgenres such as slashers, thrillers, and horror comedies. The list includes both box office hits and lesser-known independent releases.\n\n\"Send Help,\" directed by Sam Raimi, received an 8/10 rating. The film follows Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien as they navigate fear and violence together. Meanwhile, Jane Schoenbrun's \"Camp Miasma\" (8/10) offers a sexual, sincere, silly, and sweet exploration of desire.\n\nNia DaCosta's \"28 Years Later: The Bone Temple\" (9/10) brings wit and humor to the zombie apocalypse genre, while Kirill Sokolov's \"They Will Kill You\" (9/10) features Zazie Beetz as an action star. Daniel Goldhaber's \"Faces of Death\" (8/10) cleverly examines the modern internet landscape, and Curry Barker's \"Obsession\" (8/10) delivers emotional and probing performances from Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette.\n\nKane Parsons' \"Backrooms\" (9/10) expands on the YouTube series concept, while Adrian Chiarella's \"Leviticus\" (9/10) confronts real-life prejudices and supernatural curses. Alexander Ullom's \"It Ends\" (9/10) impresses with its minimalistic setting, likable cast, and self-aware humor.",
  "summary": "2026 has been a particularly strong year for horror, but some scares stand out from the pack. These are IGN's picks for the 10 best horror movies of the year so far.",
