Before we get to our Best & Worst of 2013, a little bit of Full Disclosure…

Before we get into the movies of 2013 that we loved, the one's we hated, and the ones that really didn't move us either way, we have to give mention to the ones that we didn't even see.

I know, how dare we not see every Horror & Genre-related flick that came out over the past 12 months, because who do we think we are?

Busy, overwhelmed, forgetful, lazy, disinterested, far too dissmissive... oh, we are all of those things and more!

Bottom line is, life just gets in the way, and we can't sit and watch everything.

The flicks below are what we consider to be the higher tier movies of 2013 that we did not get a chance to see. We're pretty sure that some of them would have gravitated towards the "Best" list if we had, but who can say. Maybe some of them really suck. Gallowwalkers, we're looking at you!

Either way, we just wanted to let you know what we haven't seen, in case you were all like "...but what about this one, or that one!" See how considerate we are?

*We’re also not going to be including any movies that we’ve seen this year that will not have a proper Theatrical/Home Video/VOD release until 2014; we really hate when movie sites do that, mainly because it’s a big tease and feels really disingenuous.

Now, let's get busy on the Year End festivities!

The Horror Hotties of 2013

The women who star in the movies that we love so much tend to go unappreciated. Sure, creepy pervs like us sing their praises (because most times, having a penis is no picnic), but by and large their efforts seem to go unappreciated, or at least, sadly under-appreciated.

They suffer both for their art, and our enjoyment. They spend weeks at a time getting thrown around and being brutalized, being covered in sticky fake blood, and being terrorized, all for our entertainment. Some of them do all of this, AND get naked.The ones that get naked are the best ones, btw.

Which ladies made the biggest impact in Horror flicks in 2013? Which ones were the hottest? Which ones got naked and made us do terrible, wonderful things with a sock? Well let's take a look, shall we?

For reference sake, here are our Horror Hotties lists from years past:
The Horror Hotties of 2012- Part 1 & Part 2.
The Horror Hotties of 2011- Part 1 & Part 2.

SHARNI VINSON

You're Next may have left us feeling a bit underwhelmed, but there's nothing underwhelming about its star, Sharni Vinson. She kicked all sorts of ass in that movie, becoming one of the toughest (and coolest) Final Girls that we've seen in quite some time. She also looked really good while kicking all of that ass, so of course, that's nothing but a bonus for us.

Our Review of You're Next.

Danielle Harris

Is there a harder working girl in the Horror business than Danielle Harris? It seemed like she had about 10 movies that came out this year, even though some of them were years old and were just now seeing a proper release. Most of them were pretty solid efforts, though her 2013 highlight was definitely Hatchet III, where she went toe-to-toe with Victor Crowley. She's like a sexy little leather-clad Smurf with an attitude, who isn't afraid to get bloody and kick some ass, and we just can't help but love her for it.

Our Reviews of Hatchet III and Hallow's Eve.

Lauren Cohan

She's sweet & sassy, she's on one of the coolest TV Shows ever, she's ridiculously sexy, and she's got a British accent to boot... what's not to love about this girl? She absolutely captured our hearts when she couldn't stop crying about Scott Wilson's departure from TWD, during an episode of The Talking Dead. She's the total package, and we can't wait to see her branch out into some genre movies, and that is going to happen.

Our Review (snippet) of The Walking Dead.

Alexandra Daddario

Still our fave, and she's still the hottest thing on the planet. Sure, the word "hottest" is subjective, and personal taste, and blah, blah, blah... Look, if you don't find this girl crazy hot, you're just mentally ill. Whatever she shows up in, we will gladly watch, and most likely enjoy; yes, we even mean that Texas Chainsaw remake that was in 3D. She's just so hot that she elevates the material, folks. Only two weeks to go until we get to see her do her thing in HBO's True Detective; a Serial Killer being hunted by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, plus Alex Daddario... possibly naked. Yes, we are intrigued.

Jane Levy

This poor girl right here was miserable while shooting the Evil Dead remake; it gave her nightmares, made her feel disgusting, and left her emotionally and physically exhausted. I mean, the girl got raped by a tree, so that's all perfectly understandable. We're thankful that she endured all of that abuse for the sake of making Evil Dead, because the movie turned out to be pretty good (way better than we had ever expected it to be), and it allowed us to see the sweet girl we knew from TV getting about as down and dirty as one can get. Aside from porn. Hopefully, that's next for her.

Our Review of Evil Dead.

The Farmiga Sisters

Vera or Taissa? That's the question that plagues us all, isn't it? Vera is older, wiser, and we've seen her naked. Mini-Farmiga is young, curious, and bound to get naked sooner than later. So which one is the hotter Hottie? We'll just go ahead and say both, because why bicker, when there's clearly no definitive answer to be had? Both are hot, both are talented, and both of them have a fondness for genre projects, so we win no matter what.

Ana de Armas

We've seen very few women in our lifetime that are as genuinely striking as is Ana de Armas. It's a shame that we've only seen her in one movie to date, 2013's Blind Alley, but she left quite an impression on us from just that one experience. Sure, that impression is one that involves us wanting to see her naked, but hey, we're only human. Blind Alley was a pretty solid flick, and Ana de Armas was pretty solid in it... and for the love of God, the girl is absolutely captivating to look at. I mean, we stared. At times, we rewound the movie. We hope that she'll be getting some more genre roles in the near future, but if not, we'll always have Blind Alley. And Google. *There are a lot of crazy pictures of her on Google.

Nora Arnezeder

Is it wrong that watching her die in Maniac gave us a boner? I don't know. Who am I to judge? Nora Arnezeder is an Austrian/Egyptian Jew who was born in Paris, so right off the bat we're captivated in about 10 different ways by her. Not only is she crazy hot, but she's a talented actress who can dance and sing as well. The girl had one of her songs nominated for an Oscar back in 2010... is there nothing that she can't do? All of that info just goes to show how cool she is; a girl that talented doesn't need to show up in a nasty flick like Maniac. She did that because she wanted to. Because she's cool. And Hot.

Our Review of Maniac.

Najarra Townsend

This girl is one big role away from making a splash in Hollywood, mark our words. There's just something special about her, and it has nothing to do with the fact that she's gorgeous. Well, maybe a little bit, but not completely. Her turn in 2013's Contracted was a truly nasty one, and though the movie didn't thrill us in the way that we thought it would, Najarra Townsend was absolutely thrilling the entire time. We need more Horror flicks with her in them, and if she just so happens to get naked in some of those flicks, then so be it. We'll come to grips with it somehow.

Our Review of Contracted.

Abigail Breslin

Aww, Little Miss Sunshine is a Horror Hottie? Sure she is, just not exactly our typical Hottie. she's already got Zombieland, Haunter, The Call, and Ender's Game under her belt, so she's no stranger to genre work. Add to that the fact that her next four projects -Wicked Blood, Perfect Sisters, Final Girl, and Maggie- are all Horror flicks, and she's about to rival Danielle Harris for busiest actress in the genre. She's certainly put in the effort this year, so we had to show her some love.

Our Reviews of Haunter and The Call.

So there you have it; 10 of the Hottest Hotties that made 2013 a better year for the Horror Genre. It goes without saying that there were plenty of other ladies that lit up our screens with their talents this year as well, but we just spent the entire month of October talking about a ton of them, so 10 is all you get this time around.

We love you all, girls. Keep your chins up.

The Call (2013)

Remember when Halle Berry was one of the biggest stars in the world? She won an Academy Award for Monster's Ball, she got naked in Swordfish, she was Storm in the X-Men movies, she got naked in Swordfish... the girl was a hot property there for a while.

Since the last X-Men movie though, the burning star of her fame has cooled down a bit. She's starred in some alright movies in the past few years, but for the most part you don't see her all over the place that much anymore. I know that stardom is cyclical and all, but we always just figured that she'd stick, more so than a lot of her peers would, anyhow.

We put off seeing The Call when it first came out, partly because we were all like "what has Halle Berry gone and gotten herself into now, " but mostly because we figured that it would be some average, predictable, "safe" Thriller, which it really is...

There was one thing never counted on though; we never counted on actually liking it! Woo! *I have no idea, so don't ask.

Halle Berry is a seasoned LAPD 9-1-1 Operator who takes her job in stride, because she's really good at it. One night, she gets a call from a terrified young girl named Leah; there's a man breaking into her house, and she needs help! Halle calms Leah down and tells her to hide and be quiet, which she does, and the intruder eventually begins to leave the house... and then the phone goes dead. Being the asshole that she is, Halle Berry calls Leah back, which gives away her location to the creeper, who comes back and grabs the poor girl, and thanks Halle Berry for the ho.

The aftermath of Halle Berry's massive failing.

(Six Months Later) Distraught and unable to ever take a 9-1-1 call again, Halle Berry decides to start teaching new Operators the ropes, because who better to teach the uninitiated how to save lives, than someone who got a teenage girl killed due to her incompetence? While training her group of rookies, a call comes in from another young girl (Casey), who has been jammed into a trunk by some creeper. Naturally, Halle Berry jumps into action and takes The Call (because only she can handle it, of course.)

"Don't be scared, I've done this before, to mixed results..."

Try as she might, Halle Berry can only help so much. When the creeper discovers Casey's phone, he says "Thanks for the ho!" again, which makes Halle realize that it's the same guy that thanked her before for Leah, right before he killed her! OMG! Halle Berry isn't about to let that creepy bastard get over on her again though, oh hell no. She's gonna save this girl, and somehow get her street cred back!

Implausible, contrived shenanigans ensue.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

This movie is obviously aimed at young girls, and the easily frightened. Don't get me wrong; it's a solid enough little flick, I'm just saying that we have two little Nieces that played this movie on a loop because "OMG it was soooo scary!"

The easiest way to describe what you get with The Call is to basically compare it to an episode of a TV Show like, let's say, Criminal Minds; it's safe, it follows formula, and it's enjoyable enough to watch, but in the end, it's pretty much just like any other episode of Criminal Minds that you've ever seen; it's enjoyable, but very familiar. And safe.

The main reason that the movie works is that the characters are likable. Sure, they do some stupid and inane things, but we just can't help but pull for Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin despite it all. Speaking of them, they both do a pretty good job in this movie, as does Michael Eklund, who plays the creeper.

Maybe don't hang around at the mall and you wouldn't be kidnapped!

Why would you call back? A creepy fucker has broken into a house and is trying his damnedest to get his hands on the young girl who lives there, and you call back? She hid, stayed still and didn't make a sound, just like you told her to.. .she did her part, and you call her back, basically handing her to her would-be killer? That's some weak shit right there.

For the most part, this movie feels as if it's a PG-13 affair, but there's actually a lot of disturbing and violent content to be found here despite that fact; scalps, scalping, people being beaten to death and burned alive, a blood-covered bedroom... It's "Hollywood bloody" though, so it's nothing that ever gets too crazy.

He was right, we don't wanna see that.

Abigail Breslin spends a good part of the third reel all covered in sweat and running around in a bra. Since she's frigging 12-years-old, it's not really rewarding to our inner pervs at all, though. Alright, she's really 17, but still. Who do you think we are, Kip Winger? *If you understand that Kip Winger reference, you're our new best friend.

Don't give us that look... you're frigging 12 Years Old!

"You're not gonna wanna see that!" Indeed.

The Call may be pedestrian, and it may not offer you anything that you haven't seen before, but it still managed to be a decent movie to waste 90 minutes on. It's definitely worth a look-see on Netflix if you've got it, so give it a go and enjoy your Halle Berry fix.

B-

I don't know what's gotten into Abigail Breslin lately, posing for these scandalous pictures and all. All I know is, is that if she's not careful, she'll end up just like Halle Berry! Um... successful, famous, and award winning? Never mind.
