September turning into October is a special time to many people as it is when they change from watching those cheesy fall time drama movies to watching straight up horror films and getting their pants scared off instead. Of course there are many horror films on many differen streaming services but what if you only have Netflix? Well you could certainly just go to your Netflix account and start browsing but that could take an eternity as you have to wade through all the different movies that are both good and bad ones. So that is why I decided to make this list of all of the horror films on Netflix and give you my opinion on each of them as well as a trailer for each. This should help you decide which horror movie you want to watch on Netflix much more easily than simply scrolling through Netflix. This list is constantly being updated to help you be sure that you are only getting the horror films that are still active and available to watch on Netflix. So let's dive into the list. 1. Red Riding Hood (2011) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeyFoIgQKrw When young Valerie is torn between the love of her life, Peter, and the wealthy Henry, she plans to run away together. However, her sister is killed by a werewolf. After the werewolf's death, the villagers call on the assistance of Father Solomon, who warns that the werewolf takes human form during the day. It is also rumored that the werewolf is someone Valerie loves. This version of the Red Riding Hood story is titled Valerie's Story. Valerie's parents want her to marry Henry, the well-to-do son of the village blacksmith. Valerie and her brother Peter plan to escape, but the local werewolf kills her sister. Valerie's adventure begins when her sister is killed by a werewolf. Valerie and Peter decide to run away, but when her sister is killed, her father and sister become suspicious. The film, which is rated PG-13, features disturbing themes. The Australian Classification Board has issued a media release warning parents of young children about the film's content. The storyline is predictable and could have been simplified into a 30-minute television show. There is little chemistry outside of the sexual scenes. But this is still an entertaining film with a powerful premise. Despite its high body count and teen cast, Red Riding Hood is not for everyone. It is not a family film, and it is definitely not for Twihards. While this remake of the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood has some great moments, it lacks substance. As a modern-day fairytale, the film is aimed at teenagers. It is helmed by Catherine Hardwicke, who is best known for her work on Twilight. However, the movie does have some flaws, including the lack of historical accuracy. Despite the beautiful, lush background, the cast's contemporary hairstyles, glitter makeup, and American accents are not particularly authentic to the period. 2. The Conjuring (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejMMn0t58Lc he plot centers on the Warrens' paranormal investigation business, Lorraine and Ed, and their family. They are a married couple with five daughters, and recently moved into a remote farmhouse where a supernatural presence is already making itself known. As the Warrens learn more about its macabre past, events begin to spiral out of control. The Conjuring is a thrilling re-imagination of the classic horror story. The cast is excellent and the film has plenty of scary elements, including a catalogue of ghost devices. But it isn't just about scares; the film's unnerving atmosphere is its strongest feature. Despite its dated premise, the film is a sensational old-school freakout and one of the smartest thrillers in recent memory. Director James Wan treats the spiritual overtones in this film with sincerity and playfully with its cliches. 3. The Conjuring 2 (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFsmuRPClr4 Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) is back in "The Conjuring 2," a sequel to the 2013 smash hit. Lorraine is haunted by visions of a demonic nun figure and sees her father, Ed, meeting a violent death. The Warrens travel to an English town to investigate a house in which a young girl has been channeling a dead man. However, neither Ed nor Lorraine can prove that the spirit is present, as they cannot establish hard proof. Lorraine continues to have visions of the demonic nun demon. The second installment of "The Conjuring" film series retells the true story of the hauntings at Amityville, a house that was built by a man who is haunted by evil. In addition to haunting a house, the two films explore the real-life case of Amityville, which had a profound effect on real-life demon hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren. The first film has become one of the most successful horror films of all time, and this sequel proves to be even more than the first. 4. The Boy (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGbB9UQ6r1g "The Boy" is an engrossing and thought-provoking movie that takes the nature versus nurture debate to new levels of twisted horror. It does this without resorting to finger-pointing or making any moral judgments. Instead, "The Boy" constructs indirect animal kills. Ted doesn't magnify ants or torture kittens, instead he builds a highway food oasis for random wildlife, waiting for a passing car to do the dirty work. The movie is a psychological thriller with a surprising twist, and its compelling performances make it an easy watch. It's a guilty pleasure, but you won't want to miss this movie. While its premise may be predictable, "The Boy" is a definite guilty pleasure. The plot of The Boy isn't as interesting as it seems to be. Greta is trapped inside a doll that can be rearranged to change its form. Greta could use the money or time to escape from her stalker ex-boyfriend, but she doesn't run. Her problem is the plot, which suggests she needs time away from America to escape her stalker. However, Greta isn't willing to risk a relapse. Unlike other horror films that revolve around dolls, "The Boy" has no morality. Though it's not rated R, it's really only appropriate for mature audiences. A warning for those with sensitivity issues: "The Boy" is not recommended for young children. It's a rip-off of other movies, but it isn't a terrible movie. If you're looking for a horror movie, make sure you have an open mind if you watch this one. 5. Incantation (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnyNZdcL_GY The Chinese horror film Incantation revolves around a woman named Ruo-nan. She recently left a mental institution and reclaimed her daughter, Duo-do, from foster care. She tries to fortify her new home to resist the supernatural influence of the curse. The story begins as Ruo-nan and her daughter, Duo-do, are confronted with disturbing events in their new home. Duo-do is able to communicate with the 'baddies' that are floating near the ceiling. In this Taiwanese horror film, the titular character is cursed. She spent years in a mental clinic, claiming that she had been cursed by a religious ritual. She eventually learns that her daughter has the same curse. The two must work together to find the real curse and free her daughter. The plot is based on true events that have happened in Taiwan, a country of legends and ghosts. The plot of Incantation revolves around a curse that a mother has brought upon her child after disturbing a powerful shrine. Dodo, the young girl she has rescued from the cult, becomes a target of the curse. The film also references classic Asian horror films by including forbidden places and life-threatening videos. Despite the supernatural element of the story, it aims to manipulate viewers' cognition to turn benediction into damnation and exorcism into conjuration. While a good found-footage movie, Incantation is far from a great one. It lacks significant scares and jump-scares, but it's a solid horror film with a solid cast and a dark atmosphere. It's a very well-made film, but it has some flaws that make it less enjoyable. And while it's certainly a better film than many of its brethren, it's also lacking some originality. 6. Anaconda (1997) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkX5t5ZJLEk If you have never heard of the Anaconda Movie, you might be wondering what it is all about. The film follows a National Geographic crew as they head down the Amazon River in search of a mythical tribe. On the way, they rescue a stranded snake hunter, who drags the crew into anaconda territory. They encounter a deadly snake that follows them down the river, and the stranded hunter must try to keep a watchful eye on the crew and the anaconda. While this may sound like a monster movie, the dialogue is terrible and utterly unoriginal. The special effects are appalling, with CG moments that are amateurish at best. The rubbery animatronic snakes are stiff and unrealistic and it seems as if they're teasing audiences by changing size during the action sequences. In general, the movie is a mediocre experience, but you may not want to miss it. The film's cast includes Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube, and Jennifer Lopez, along with Ice Cube. Professor Cale is a snake expert who is researching the Amazon and looking for a lost civilization. Meanwhile, a paraguayan snake hunter, Serone, asks the crew for help in locating the tribe. In a desperate attempt to kill the snake, the team must deal with a variety of challenges. 7. Army of the Dead (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI1JGPhYBS8 The movie, directed by Zach Snyder, is a definite must-see, if you're a fan of zombies and zombie films. While the story is interesting, Army of the Dead is a bit predictable, especially when zombies start attacking people. This film lacks a strong mythic element and turns into a generic action spectacle, which is frustrating, especially considering its hype. The movie's visual effects and music are stunning, but the dialogue is incredibly dry and flat. The storyline is a bit uneven, with the characters trying to force emotional connections before they die, but this isn't a major flaw of the film. The film follows a group of mercenaries as they attempt to rob a hotel in Las Vegas. The team is aided by a team of thugs led by Dave Bautista. The ragtag crew must battle the undead while escaping a quarantine area. While the heist aspect isn't particularly interesting, the story is, nonetheless, fun to watch. "Army of the Dead" opens with an eerie slo-mo musical montage, and then begins the film's action. In its opening sequence, the undead zombies begin to swarm the casino, consuming the tourists at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, cannibalistic showgirls hunt for prey as slot machine junkies bundle up their money. The movie also includes a bizarre Elvis impersonator who stares blankly at the chaos. 8. The Babysitter Killer Queen (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WzUYkzRgBE The Babysitter Killer Queen is a new thriller that is sure to satisfy the horror-loving crowd. It follows Cole, a babysitter turned killer, as she takes on the task of killing babysitters. Two years ago, she defeated a satanic cult led by the evil Bee. But this time, her old enemies are back and this time, she must outsmart them once again. The sequel picks up two years after the first film. Cole, a social outcast, is still suffering from the effects of the events in the first film. His parents, a guidance counselor, and his therapist all believe that his behavior is a manifestation of mental illness. The only person who believes him is Melanie, who persuades Cole to join her lakeside party. Cole begins to question the motives behind his newfound friendship with Melanie. While the plot arc is unpredictable, the movie never feels overly forced. Instead, the script flirts with social commentary about teenage peer pressure and privilege. Although this may be a step back from the first film, this time around, the social commentary doesn't take away from the fun and thrills. In fact, it only adds to the movie's length. The Babysitter is available on Netflix right now. During the first movie, Cole has a nightmare that he sees himself fighting a devil-worshiping babysitter. His nightmare is a reoccurring dream from the past. He fought Bee and saved his life in the first film, but the terrifying nightmare makes him a social outcast. Cole meets Melanie outside of his school, who believes his story. While his family is unsure of what to do, Melanie and her new boyfriend Jimmy help him escape from school. In the end, Cole is able to save Phoebe from the evil babysitter. 9. Let Me In (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reRRAEVHq8E Let Me In is a remake of a Swedish vampire novel written by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Set in 1983, the film takes place in a housing project in New Mexico, where a 12-year-old boy is caught between his mother and his absent father. As the young boy develops violent fantasies, he is caught in the middle of the volatile divorce between his mother and father. Reeves' adaptation re-invents Alfredson's story, but expands on its themes, omitting the unnecessary scenes and adding more graphic gore. While the remake keeps the feel of the original movie, it eschews the silly cat attack from the original, relying instead on cartoonish CGI for the feral attacks. Fans of the original should enjoy the similarities between the remake and the original. While it has better actors, Let Me In is still a superior adaptation. 10. Christine (1983) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieBmy6qjiCI The christine Movie is a crime film in which an unpopular nerd, Arnie Cunningham, buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury and names it Christine. It is the only vehicle Arnie owns. Dennis Guilder, a jock friend of Arnie, also names his car Christine. The car is later defaced by an outcast named Buddy Repperton, but Christine restores itself and begins to kill his friends. When Dennis and Leigh Cabot learn of this, they decide to destroy the car to prevent its destructive nature. The plot of the movie is based on the true story of Christine's suicide. At the age of 29, Christine had already been dealing with depression, and lamented that she didn't have a romantic partner. However, when she reads a news report announcing that Christine is attempting suicide, she pulls out a revolver and shoots herself. Christine falls to the floor, and is taken to a hospital. She eventually dies of her wounds. The film features an award-winning performance by Rebecca Hall. The film is a welcome addition to the killer car genre, and an underrated gem from John Carpenter. It reeks of terror and is gripping. It shows no sign of wreckage. The movie looks well-polished even if the characters are still in their teenage years. The film is a must-see for horror fans. Just be sure to watch the trailers! If you're looking for a killer car movie, Christine is an excellent choice! 11. Insidious (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuZnRUcoWos&t=1s If you're unsure whether to watch the Insidious movie or not, read the Insidious movie synopsis. There is a plot twist at the end, and it's quite a terrifying watch! Despite its name, the movie is about a family that goes to extreme measures to save their son. The parents believe that their comatose son is possessed and takes drastic measures to rid the house of its ghosts. The first thing to know about the film is that it takes domestic ghost stories and remakes them. The protagonists are exorcists who battle otherworldly forces to reunite families. The exorcists are unaware of the chuckles that accompany their shrieks. The film has a strong chance of attracting horror fans, but will probably not turn into the Saw-like phenomenon. It is worth checking out. The movie is a retelling of the Poltergeist series, but director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell give it a fresh spin on the genre. While the film relies on old-fashioned scares to keep audiences entertained, its characters are believable and flawed. Hershey's character, Dalton, is particularly interesting, and Shaye, who plays his mother, gets some very tense moments. The first two installments were based on real events, though the fourth installment will be based on Josh's childhood. The story is told in reverse order, with the adult Elise talking to her younger self. The third installment introduces the concept of the story's development. In the first two films, Josh encounters an evil old woman when he's eight years old. But he suppresses that memory, until many years later, when the encounter is remembered to him. 12. IT (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJmEC5ieOk IT is a terrifying supernatural thriller about a masked outcast who must band together to fight Pennywise, the ancient evil who rises from the sewer every 27 years and preys on children in Derry, Maine. In this spooky adventure, the young outcasts have to band together to fight the shape-shifting, demonic creature. The story follows the story of three teens whose lives are affected by the events in the movie. Stan is studying to be a bar mitzvah when he encounters IT, the mysterious monster. He sees the painting and realizes that it is a replica of himself, but the words aren't real. Richie and Bill run after him, but their efforts prove futile. Pennywise then jumps out of the coffin and kills Eddie. 13. Things Heard and Seen (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCAaonjgDEA The storyline begins with a quote from Swedish scientist Emmanuel Swedenborg. Set in the 1980s, the movie is a blend of supernatural horror and dreary marital drama. It defies conventional structures, blending mild intrigue and cartoonish insanity to create a chilling film experience. The story follows a couple whose marriage is on the rocks, and the characters are constantly in conflict with each other. Amanda Seyfried plays an inquisitive and cautious artist who finds herself in an impossible situation. Her husband, meanwhile, is a devious liar. Things Heard & Seen isn't for everyone, but the film will appeal to those who like the genre. This supernatural thriller has some mature themes. It has some violence, sexual content, and a pathological liar. The movie was a critical hit and has won multiple awards. It's a slow-burn thriller with some supernatural twists. 14. The Rite (2011) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hG3ktopqv8 The Rite Movie is a thriller set in the Catholic Church. The plot centers around a seminary student named Michael Kovak who must attend a school of exorcism run by the Vatican. Kovak, a priest by training, believes that possession is the result of a troubled mind. He tries to convince his superiors to look for answers in psychiatry, but he ends up becoming the apprentice of an experienced exorcist named Father Lucas. In the process, he encounters a terrifying force and finds himself trying to exorcise it. The film begins with an interesting discussion about the role of exorcists in the modern world. Michael has been struggling with his faith since the events of the book in the past, and Father Matthew (Anthony Hopkins) hopes a trip to Rome will help him recover his faith. Unfortunately, the movie's tone soon goes downhill, turning into a sloppy, overblown cliche that's simply annoying. While there are many things you could say about this film, one of the most frustrating aspects is that it does not adhere to its original vision. While it's an entertaining and scary horror film, it doesn't go deep enough into the spirituality of the characters. The film's shaky ending makes it impossible to recommend the movie without spoilers. While this is a shame, the movie still manages to make me laugh, and I highly recommend it to horror fans. 15. Umma (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQdXvvtu-iI While Umma contains darker themes, it also makes no attempt to delve deeper into those themes. Its main character, Amanda, suffers a traumatic event that makes her relationship with her mother strained and the film does not explore why the two women are so far apart. Instead, it simply treads water while dealing with the issues in an uneven manner. The film opens with an ominous voiceover and the first two minutes of the film are stale. Although the storyline is a classic horror tale, it's sadly not particularly affecting for children. This cliched and repetitive storyline is one of the biggest issues of Umma, which is why it's probably not a good choice for families with older children. If you're looking for a genuinely scary film, look elsewhere. 16. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlya92LZqZw If you're looking for a horror film, you've likely heard about "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark." The film is set in a small town in California where the Bellows family has loomed large for generations. Young Sarah Bellows takes the stories she has been tortured with and makes them real for an unsuspecting teen. The film "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" is based on the anthology book series of the same name, which weaves the ghost stories into a full-length feature. The film has its problems, but overall it's a fun horror film. The story follows four teenage friends and a malicious book. It's rated PG-13. There are several sexual references and some disturbing images, but otherwise it's a fun and scary horror movie. 17. The Mist (2007) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhCKXJNGzN8 In The Mist, a mysterious and terrifying cloud of mist falls on a small town in Maine. A large number of unseen creatures, including giant insects, are trapped within the fog. The people trapped in the town's grocery store must band together to survive in this unnatural world. However, their survival depends on a group effort and it seems unlikely given their frail nature. The film is based on a Stephen King novel, and directed by Frank Darabont. The story revolves around commercial artist David Drayton and his family, including his son Billy. One violent thunderstorm destroys their home, and a tree crashes through the window of David's studio. The family takes shelter in the basement, where they are surrounded by fear and danger. As the film progresses, the mist grows larger and more powerful, and the danger increases exponentially. The Mist is a classic example of a siege movie. It follows the actions of the survivors and the villains. In the process, paranoia and groupthink become deadly. This film is a slow burn, but has a fantastic twist ending. The movie is worth seeing if you love horror. 18. Crimson Peak (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yAbFYbi8XU Crimson Peak is a haunted house movie that opens in the turn of the 20th century. It centers around Edith Cushing, a young writer who had an encounter with her mother's ghost while growing up. When she tries to write a ghost story, she finds herself attracted to a mysterious businessman named Thomas Sharpe. He is a wealthy and eccentric businessman and the brother of Edith's sister, Lucille. When he comes to town for financing, Edith goes to visit the Sharpe family mansion. As time goes on, she slowly becomes weaker, and she must work out what the ghosts have been doing to her. The film is inspired by the dark stories of the 19th century and borrows from dark Hollywood romances. It is a charming tribute to a bygone era, but the movie itself has trouble gaining traction. It is an atmospheric triumph, but the plot is weak and predictable. The supernatural elements are nothing more than red herrings. The story is stale and predictable, but the film's visual style is stunning. The film begins with a flashback to Edith's childhood. Her mother was murdered and left her mother with a daughter. In the aftermath, she learns the truth about her husband, and finds out about the mysterious Crimson Peak. She then wants to escape from the haunted house. However, the danger is not far off, and she decides to escape. But the ghost of her mother is haunting her and she is left to fend for herself. 19. The Cave (2005) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP4DsyaB1eE The Cave is a drama about an uncharted cave system discovered beneath a 13th century Romanian abbey. A team of professionals is flown in to investigate the existence of a mysterious ecosystem. In their quest to find life, they find signs of a bizarre new ecosystem, but may not be able to return alive to tell anyone. But the team is determined to find out what life exists in the cave - and they may not be able to survive long enough to tell anyone. The Cave is directed by Bruce Hunt, who made his feature film debut with the film. The Cave is a thriller that features Cole Hauser, Lena Headey, Daniel Dae Kim, and Morris Chestnut. The film also features Lena Headey, Piper Perabo, and Rick Ravanello. The movie was released to poor reviews and a weak box office. Despite its high-profile cast, it still only managed to gross $31 million worldwide. 20. Apostle (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1JdWOqc9Q8 Apostle is a rushed and scattered plot of a horror thriller. I'm not a fan of Dan Stevens and his grotesque character, but over the course of the movie, we'll see more of him and his movie-star chum Lucy Boynton. The film begins with an archaic wooden church. Then, the movie's premise and a spooky supernatural creature emerge. While this is not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, it is an extremely slow start. The premise is that a man with no training in martial arts has been sent to an isolated island to rescue his sister, who is held captive by a mysterious religious cult. In order to rescue her, Thomas must infiltrate the cult. Fortunately for him, the climax is the film's biggest draw. The first act begins slowly but builds suspense throughout. It is an extremely effective way to introduce the supernatural element of the film, but ultimately the movie lacks any real substance. While Apostle does have a few moments of style and wit, it largely lacks substance and appeal. While it does feature flashes of style, it also fails to create any real depth beneath its blood-spreading surface. Apostle is a worthy watch but you should avoid it unless you're a fan of horror. The movie is based on a true story, and it will be shocking if you've ever watched a movie with such a twist. There are several characters who aren't likeable, but they are compelling enough to keep you interested throughout. The movie isn't a great choice for families, but if you're a big fan of "cult movies," Apostle might be right for you. 21. Tremors: Shrieker Island (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJv6PticavQ The film continues the series' tradition of establishing characters in abandoned towns, but this time, the action takes place on two islands in the middle of the ocean. While the setting of previous Tremors films gives the film a distinctly Jurassic Park feel, it also allows for greater freedom. The film features numerous callbacks to its previous films, including an action sequence, quotes, and the final battle between Burt and the Queen Graboid. While it's not a classic film, it shows how much Michael Gross cares about his character. The film features a generic monster-movie plot, with an evil villain that's straight out of a Disney cartoon. Though Heder plays a charming and lovable goofball, her performance isn't quite up to the standard of the other cast. The film's slick visual effects aren't much better, but the giddy local who runs around braless and sexy while saving people is an interesting character. Tremors: Shrieker Island is a sequel to the science fiction novel The Most Dangerous Game, and it riffs on the concept of a big-game hunt on a remote island. However, it adds a new element to the story: Graboids and their titular 'Shriekers.' Bill, a renowned hunter who has been battling these creatures for 30 years, is now accompanied by weapons expert Freddie, archer Anna, and science student Cassie Clare. 22. The Ritual (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfugwq2uoa0 "The Ritual" is an effective but unremarkable lost-in-the-wild horror film that conforms to standard creature feature trappings. The film follows a group of college friends on a hiking trip in Sweden. While hiking, they stumble upon a robbery and watch as the criminals kill one by one. Luke and Rob become entrapped in the midst of the horror. As their friendship becomes tested, they discover a terrifying ritual and must work to save themselves. Despite the film's simplistic approach, THE RITUAL still succeeds in conjuring up a real horror atmosphere and keeping the audience on their toes. It's unpretentious, and acted well, but it never rises above delivering horror tropes skillfully. For this reason, it is a must-see horror film for horror fans. It's not a film for everyone, but it's a fun and terrifying experience nonetheless. The film is based on a novel by Adam Nevill. It follows five British friends drinking in a local pub. When one of them is murdered in a liquor store robbery, the other four go hiking in Northern Sweden to honor their friend and erect a shrine for him. Their quest is complicated when one of the men, Hutch, suggests a shorter route through the woods. If Luke doesn't find the way back to his cabin, he will lose the rest of his friends. The Ritual features a strong performance from Rafe Spall, whose past roles include HOT FUZZ and THE BIG SHORT. His performance brings depth and complexity to the proceedings. While the movie's twists are predictable, it has a strong start, and a climax that doesn't quite reach its peak. But the twists and turns that come later prove to be a bit frustrating. 23. Ouija: Orgin Of Evil (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJIcZGEjjwo If you want to know what Ouija: Orgin Of Evil is all about, read on! The film centers on a grieving mother who adds a séance scam to her lonesome life. However, she also invites a spirit of real evil into her home, and her daughter, Doris, is soon overtaken by a spirit of vengeance. To save their daughter and send the possessor back to the other side, the family must confront their worst fears and face unimaginable horrors. The style of Ouija: Origin Of Evil is interesting and reminiscent of 'Mad Men' - a time when people put a lot of effort into their appearances. This horror movie is well-paced and atmospheric, with excellent jump scares. While there is a certain amount of glitzy action in the film, it still has heart and charm. While it's set in 1960s, its themes are timeless. The sequel to the successful 2014 horror film, Ouija: Origin Of Evil, is a far more palatable film than its predecessor. It's a slow-burning, but ultimately satisfying film, bolstered by a solid ensemble cast. The film takes place in 1967, and its setting would have made Mad Men's final season proud. There's no doubt that the film is inspired by the real events of the witchboard - but despite its flaws, Ouija: Origin Of Evil is a remarkably superior horror movie. 24. Halloween (2007) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qKmXIy9Juk The Halloween remake is a sloppy, remade mess. John Carpenter's original was an exercise in perfection, but Rob Zombie's reboot is a misstep. It delivers the grungy, 'white trash' aesthetic, an incongruous soundtrack of rock classics, and lots of nudity and gore. In addition, the recast Michael Myers mythos lacks originality and charm. As a horror movie, "Halloween" does have some new elements, but it's also full of clunky plot twists. The film lacks an overall point and just feels like a series of unmotivated vignettes. While its gore is slick and the performances are decent, the movie's lack of plot or point detracts from the fright. Instead, the movie is a dreary mess with little depth. "Halloween" is a remake of the 1978 classic, and stars Malcolm McDowell, Tyler Mane, Danielle Harris, Daeg Faerch, Brad Dourif, and Scout Taylor-Compton. The film is directed by Rob Zombie and stars Danny Trejo, Udo Kier, Clint Howard, and Danielle Harris. The film's characters are rather flat and undeveloped, with many strands of emotion lacking, even if the actors are talented. One character in particular stood out to me. Laurie Taylor-Compton was a tragic figure, whose plight echoed the plight of Michael Myers. The story explored whether a confluence of factors can lead to a tragic character like Michael Myers. Zombie's dark fairytale has Laurie's wish for family, despite the unavoidable consequences. The film also featured a fantastic ending with Laurie dying on the stage before the film is over. 25. Fear Street Movie Trilogy (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyUuzCGblqc Though the film's script is not groundbreaking, it unfolds the mystery with a satisfying pace. In addition, it has a unique storyline that centers on queer romance, a rare inclusion in the horror genre. And the cast is comprised of mostly unknown young actors, which gives the drama more weight. But that's probably why Fear Street is so beloved among younger audiences. It's worth watching, despite being a little corny at times. The first film, Fear Street Part One, is a teen-slasher parody and homage to the genre. Set in the 1990s, the film features a heavy dose of '90s nostalgia. The cast is impressive, especially when the director gives them a chance to stretch their talents. The soundtrack is also great, with the iconic nine-inch-nails song playing in the background. This movie does have the potential to become one of the best horror movies ever made, but it's just not quite there yet. The second film is a much more cohesive standalone tale, while the first is a frantic and episodic series. Unlike the first film, this one is less allegory-ridden and is driven by the intense emotional state of the teenage characters. The teenage heroines, Ziggy (Emily Rudd) and Deena (Sadie Sink), are portrayed as snitch-like outcasts. 26. Cargo (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5QJW0M5pik If you've seen Train to Busan or The Last of Us, you've probably seen a similar father-daughter relationship. And while Cargo is far less wacky, it's also far less believable than those films. Instead, it focuses on a father and daughter relationship that has some resemblance to real life. While this film has plenty of wacky moments, it's mostly a film that's never quite believable. Despite the lackluster plot, there are a few original touches that help elevate the film. A village elder, played by David Gulpilil, offers insight into the lives of the survivors. But the film's tone is hopelessly padded and repetitive, despite its superior short film. Despite the premise, Cargo ultimately fails to capture the audience's attention. This film is not for everyone. If you don't mind zombies and heightened suspense, Cargo might be okay for you. Despite the formulaic nature of its plot, Cargo isn't without its social messages. It touches on the topic of responsibility within a marriage and between parents and children. In the end, it becomes a movie about finding family, which can be both critical and poisonous. Aside from a good concept, Cargo is also a compelling post-apocalyptic thriller. Unlike most other zombie movies, it doesn't deliver much in the way of high-octane action. Compared to A Quiet Place, Cargo feels like a plodding stroll through the wilderness and only runs when it's necessary. 27. John Carpenter's Vampires (1998) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCrtLhXcBQc If you love the horror genre, then you're likely familiar with the classic John Carpenter's Vampires 1998 film. This low-budget horror flick stars James Woods and Alec Baldwin. It's an underrated gem of the genre, delivering a satisfying combination of horror and comedy. However, if you're new to the genre, or just want to see a different take on this storied franchise, you'll want to look elsewhere. While it's not a great film, John Carpenter manages to create an eerie atmosphere and a more interesting cast than you might expect from a direct-to-video horror flick. While the gore and blood are more than enough to make you squirm, it's not the movie's best moment. While there is some gore and blood in this movie, the overall tone is too regressive for some. Although the cast is overacted, some performances are chilling. Woods is hammy in a number of scenes and his prosthetic makeup is too old. But his role as the replacement priest is still well-cast. Thomas Ian Griffith as Vallek's father is a great casting choice, and he's surprisingly effective as a cocky vampire. The film's cinematography is gorgeous, but the repetitive southern guitar music is not. In addition to being a good horror film, John Carpenter's Vampires also offers great dialogue and excellent set pieces. James Woods is great as Jack Crow, and Daniel Baldwin is excellent as Montoya. The banter between Montoya and Jack Crow is excellent and the two actors seem to be good friends. The film is an underrated classic and is an underrated masterpiece of the horror genre. 28. Blood Red Sky (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8M_1eyrBtQ The film is a mash-up of horror, mystery, and drama with plenty of extra blood. This Netflix release is directed and written by Peter Thorwarth. It stars Peri Baumeister, Carl Anton Koch, Kais Setti, Dominic Purcell, and Graham McTavish. The movie begins in "media res" and follows Nadja Baumeister (Sarah Paulson), a doctor who suffers from a mysterious illness and must get frequent injections of a drug concoction. When the movie flies over the skies, it takes on a different aspect, with terrorists preparing for her secrets. The movie is still an incredibly enjoyable movie, but if you are squeamish, I wouldn't recommend it. While the movie isn't quite as gory as From Dusk Till Dawn, it does combine horror elements with suspense. The actors, especially Purcell, bring a sense of desperation and fear to the roles they play. The movie's effects are superb. The vampires are one of the scariest monsters I've ever seen. And it has a great soundtrack to boot! While the film's storyline is intriguing, it lacks the plot arc to make it a good thriller. While the main action of the film is the hijacking of a plane, it's largely a prop and remains the driving force behind the story. 29. Ghosts Of War (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HosMSr3L0M0 This film is a horror-sci-fi hybrid, loosely based on World War II atrocities. Chris (Brenton Thwaites) is sent to an Allied outpost in Nazi-occupied France. But as he struggles to keep the outpost running, he begins to experience strange and unsettling phenomena. While waiting for his back-up, he begins to sense some unexplained events taking place. The film has its fair share of spooky Nazis and PTSD-affected Allied soldiers, and creepy dolls. However, this film fails to maintain its high scare factor without J. Mackye Gruber, who makes his directorial debut with The Butterfly Effect. While Ghosts Of War does provide the setup for an intense haunted house experience, it lacks the terror that makes a horror film great. The premise is intriguing, and the cast is great. But the execution of the story is mediocre. The movie begins promisingly, and while its ghosts do come to life at the end, it continues on a downward spiral. And the actors aren't terribly convincing. Instead, they simply make a mess of things. So, this movie is not for everyone. If you are looking for a horror film with an intriguing plot and intriguing characters, Ghosts Of War might be for you. The plot revolves around five battle-hardened American soldiers assigned to protect a French Chateau. In their attempts to protect the chateau, they must fight off Nazi soldiers while fighting ghosts in the house. The movie's graphic violence, wartime battles, explosives, and gruesome deaths are sure to make anyone cringe. The movie also features jump scares and ghouls. The soundtrack is ominous and eerie, and the sound effects are appropriately creepy. The film features a lot of scary music, which is a good choice for people who love horror movies. 30. Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBbi4NeebAk The sequel to the critically acclaimed Insidious: The Last Key has a few key differences from its predecessor. While the first movie focused on bringing Dalton back to the supernatural realm, this new film has a much more linear plot and fewer surprises. The first movie took its time to introduce its characters, but luckily the film doesn't lose its pace. Rather, it builds on its original ideas and moves forward with a much faster pace. Insidious: Chapter 2 evokes the horror genre as well as the supernatural. The film begins with the Lambert family moving into a house where they discover an apparition. They are investigating the murder of Elise, and they have an unwanted guest. Lorraine and Josh enlist the help of the Lambert sidekicks to find and stop this unsettling presence. But as the nights grow longer and the house guests grow larger, Josh's strange interactions with the apparition intensify. Despite the film's similarities, the first film is arguably Wan's best. Its jump scares aren't nearly as effective, but the movie still manages to create a chilling atmosphere. The film was also released during a weekend that has been historically associated with Friday the 13th, which may help boost its box office returns. 31. The Rental (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGdcTUMGxB0 For fans of slasher movies, The Rental is an impressive directorial debut. The film pays homage to the slasher movie golden age, with similarities to classics like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. In general, The Rental is a solid thriller that will leave you thinking about the plot. But, it's not without its flaws. To be fair, the movie does have some redeeming qualities. First, it's disturbing. A house full of hidden cameras is a terrifying sight for anyone. The horror element of the movie is heightened by its exploitation and disturbing depictions of technology. But if you're worried about privacy and the threat of surveillance, The Rental isn't the movie for you. Although it has its moments, you won't find yourself feeling the same way. The movie's story is a bit dated, and the plot is not original. The film is a fine debut for James Franco, who also wrote the screenplay. While it has a few cliches of home invasion movies, it's ultimately a character-driven thriller that doesn't fully lean into the horror genre until the third act. However, there's something masochist about watching people unravel - and Franco does it with ease. The film's cast includes Dan Stevens, Alison Brie, Jeremy Allen White, and Sheila Vand. And while the movie isn't a classic horror film, it does feature some memorable performances. The movie also explores the tension that surrounds the gig economy, as well as the eroding of trust in strangers. While there are a few genuinely creepy scenes in the movie, most of these scenes don't require any action to feel exciting. The film is more about the unsettling side of the gig economy and its emergence as a major part of our culture. 32. Before I Wake (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TFc9pprTLE Before I Wake (2016) is an intense psychological thriller directed by Mike Flanagan. It deals with difficult ideas and explores the human condition when someone is buried under emotional anguish. Despite its disturbing content, Before I Wake also has plenty of good points. Before I Wake follows the story of two grieving families, one who has lost a child to suicide, and another who has found themselves a new family. Originally, Cody Morgan had been living with foster parents, but they have recently adopted a young boy named Cody. His new foster parents, Jessie and Mark, welcome him into their home. When he sleeps, his dreams start to physically appear in front of them. This strange phenomenon continues to occur during his nightmares. Despite being a psychological thriller, Before I Wake is an unsettling horror film about a child's recurring nightmares and the people who inevitably experience them. It has a strong cast, including Jacob Tremblay as the young man's father. However, this film is not for everyone. 33. Thir13en Ghosts (2001) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1yZl9HVLd0 Thir13en Ghosts is a tense and frightening tale set in an old house that has been haunted by powerful vengeful spirits. In this remake of William Castle's horror classic, a family inherits a grand old house from an eccentric uncle who has an agenda. The family soon finds themselves in a world of horror as they come face to face with vengeful spirits. A creepy house, over-the-top ghosts, and a very interesting plot make for an entertaining if mediocre film. Unfortunately, Thir13en Ghosts doesn't manage to capitalize on these elements, resulting in a bland horror film. While it has several good aspects, such as a well-developed storyline and great actors, this film ultimately falls flat. The film's title is not memorable, and the film's story is merely okay. The cast of Thir13en Ghosts is a solid group of actors, including Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, and Shannon Elizabeth. While it's unlikely that anyone will remember this movie, it is cool to watch. While the film lacks the necessary scares to stand out, it's still a decent blockbuster. The director Steve Beck is a good choice for this film. He's responsible for two previous films, including 'The Exorcist' and 'American Pie'. The film's setting is extravagant, and it sets the stage for the film's ghost action. The characters are well-designed and the setting is impressive. The film's visual effects are also quite striking. The film's soundtrack contains a pulsating beat. 34. Aurora (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5tlmpF_Fco While there are plenty of good things about Aurora, this film is also lacking in impact and originality. Aurora raises important issues about passenger safety, human greed, and the environment, but it lacks bite. It's more like a pointless exercise in creating atmosphere and hollow scares. A large passenger ship named Aurora collides with a rock formation near a tropical island, causing panic in its passengers. The ship's radio communication system triggers an automated warning reminiscent of the disaster that happened on the "Titanic" (1997). When the passengers realize that the ship is sinking, they try to escape, but instead, are "switched" to an alternate reality. This is when a group of survivors, led by Leana, must rescue the survivors and find the missing passengers. A young woman named Leana lives with her sister Rita on a remote island. The Aurora ship crashes near their island and causes mass casualties. After the ship crashes, they decide to search for bodies and get the bounty before it's too late. A fisherman named Eddie and Marco Gumabao join them, and they find themselves drawn into a dangerous and questionable journey of self-discovery and morality. 35. Freddy Vs Jason (2003) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Agkg4az_9E In this film, disfigured serial killer Freddy Krueger attacks his victims in dreams. His attempts at dominance over the town prove futile, and he decides to enlist the help of another violent murderer, Jason Voorhees. Jason is determined to chop up the victims that Freddy intended to kill, and this violent duo enacts horror and mayhem in their quest to stop Freddy's unholy act. This film reunites the two monsters, and its title refers to the horror icon himself. Jason, who is played by the actor who played Freddy's brother, is a creepy, paranoid man who lives in a mansion. The two men are drawn together by their shared hatred for each other. Whether Jason is a serial killer or a lone psychopath, they will fight in the final showdown. The film's final third is taken up by a massive fight scene. However, the story begins to get stuck around halfway, and the plot becomes preposterous as the film continues to climax. Despite its flaws, Freddy vs. Jason is a finely-shot film that features some fantastic special effects. The color photography, especially for standout fire scenes, creates a visually stunning impression. This film has a solid cast. While Jason is a nonstop killer, Freddy has the edge over Jason because he is a more mysterious character. In addition, the characters are given one-liners that make them appear like human. The gore is plentiful, and the death scenes are well done. In addition to this, the film is also technically impressive, making great use of cinematography and color palette. 36. Scary Movie 4 (2006) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PuhVxfxj8w A sequel to the cult horror hit, Scary Movie 4 reuses some of the plots, styles, and wardrobes of the original films. But this is no satire: the characters in Scary Movie 4 are the usual gang of idiots. Anna Faris returns as Cindy Campbell, and Leslie Nielsen stars as a dim version of George W. Bush. The movie's humour is predictable but genuinely funny. Tom Ryan, a divorced father who struggles to communicate with his children, moves into a house haunted by a creepy Asian boy who wants to kill him. It's a War of the Worlds spoof that's played largely on script, and the actors don't stand out in the most compelling way. The film's plot is a parody of the Grudge franchise, with a twist on a classic storyline. The movie's cast is a bit too campy for its own good, with Leslie Nielsen and Anthony Anderson reimagined as a gay couple. The resulting spoof is not scary, but it's funny enough to keep audiences entertained for 80 minutes. And if you're tired of the same old movie formula, Scary Movie 4 is a welcome change. Just be aware of the obvious snarky references - the spoof isn't all that original. Despite its uninspired plot and bad execution, the film's visuals and special effects are impressive, making it one of the more enjoyable horror films. 37. Scary Movie 5 (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMDZ8M47j0I The latest reboot of the wildly popular horror franchise, "Scary Movie," hit theaters seven years after the original. While a re-make of the "Evil Dead" is a popular choice for Halloween, this latest installment has no place for those whose stomachs will not turn at the sight of crude sexual humor. The new movie is a mockery of all previous installments, with its chimps throwing feces at the wall and the infamous 'robot pool cleaner' spooking its victims. The sequel to the original "Scary Movie" has been remade with wacky outtakes, a lame pop-up gag, and a reduced version of the Evil Dead remake - which opens in the UK the following week. In fact, it barely manages to generate one honest laugh throughout the film. As a result, "Scary Movie 5" is right up there with films like Transylmania, Breaking Wind, and Stan Helsing. As a sequel to the original, this one isn't quite as slick as the first four films, but it still manages to pack a punch. The grizzled old hacks who wrote the films have a knack for recreating familiar movies. They are also responsible for some of the film's most famous cameos, including Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, and Mike Tyson. They even manage to squeeze in a few cameo appearances in the film. Despite being a comedy without any actual scares, Scary Movie 5 has two standout performances. Lindsay Lohan's performance is fantastic and Charlie Sheen's performance is spot-on. The sight gags, however, are horribly overdone. And the film's runtime is just 82 minutes, including bloopers and credits. That's a lot of wasted time. Overall, Scary Movie 5 is a disappointing horror movie for all the wrong reasons. 38. The Whole Truth (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNIY6wfkQxM Netflix's latest horror film, The Whole Truth, is a good enough concept that mashes up elements of several different films to produce a decent horror film. There is enough tension and scares to keep audiences interested, but it lacks impact and impactful execution. While there are a few good ideas in the film, the performances are too robotic and the execution is not engrossing. The movie begins with a premise reminiscent of The Visit and The Grudge. A group of kids discovers a mysterious old man, who seems to be alien to them and may be hiding in a closet of adult diapers. What happens next reveals shocking secrets about the man's life and identity. The film also features a wormhole, which seems to be a literal hole in the wall. The film is directed by Wisit Sasanatieng, and has a creepy, claustrophobic feel. The film has shades of James Wan's Insidious films, but it's mostly about suspense and the film gets mileage from the Horror Movie Creepy Kid trope. It's also a good time for themes of false domesticity. The Whole Truth isn't for everyone, and for those who prefer the supernatural, this movie is probably not for you. There are many aspects of The Whole Truth that make it a decent thriller, but it lacks depth in its characters and a chance to root for them. Its main problem is that it takes so long to get to the point, including an accident involving Mai and a drunk driver. Before the horrors begin, this story feels a little weighty. Mai's daughter, Pim, learns of the accident from her grandfather, which is a good start, but the movie feels out of place and confusing. 39. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcI6SFiK_yk If you've been curious about the latest movie in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre line, you've come to the right place. After all, the sequel to the horror classic is a must-see. The film looks surprisingly good and carries the same sense of dread that fans of the original can expect. The sequel to 1974's cult classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has the same formula, complete with chaotic carnage and a brutally wicked finale. Leatherface snaps off an arm and stabs a man's neck with a broken bone. Whether you want to feel the rage or cheer at the savage murders, TCM 2022 is a must-see for horror fans. The film focuses on the final girl from the original, Sally Hardesty. The film does manage to make the character more interesting despite being a rehash of a familiar horror film. The only resemblance to the original is the character's relationship with Leatherface, played by Olwen Fouere. Sally Hardesty is an interesting premise, and she becomes more of a factor during the third act. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a solid horror film with a satisfying twist at the end. Although it's 80 minutes long, the bloody action doesn't quite reach the same heights as its predecessor. The film's lack of authenticity is an unfortunate factor, but it's easy to forgive the film's short runtime. However, it does deliver a genuinely shocking end to the film. 40. Aftermath (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsUYJmgHUN4 Aftermath is a low-budget horror film that follows a formulaic plot with little novelty. The movie's two lead characters - a clumsy younger sister and an aloof mother - experience a chilling experience in the film, but neither one is convinced by the other's story. The film doesn't even have much slick scares or novelty to keep me interested for 100 minutes. Aftermath is an effective, if goofy, thriller. It flows nicely, but its scares are predictable. If you want a good horror movie, check out Aftermath on Netflix. Kevin Dadich is a college dropout who cleans up houses that have been the scene of violent crimes and deaths. While he's at it, he finds a lovely villa that's undervalued. He convinces his wife, Natalie, to purchase it, and she moves in to try to patch up their shaky marriage. Then, things start to go awry in Natalie's life. Aftermath ultimately lacks originality. This movie has a lot of similar plot elements as The Haunting of Hill House, so the spooky part is predictable. Thankfully, the movie does show the strength of the couple's relationship and its ability to overcome obstacles. 41. I, Frankenstein (2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXc5epxOH_c The first film in the I Frankenstein series is about the creation of Victor Frankenstein. His monstrous creation, Adam, is now known as Adam Eckhart and is drawn into a battle between the gargoyles and the kindly Leonore. He is a hero of sorts, despite being a monster in the truest sense of the word. However, his relationship with his creator's daughter, Leonore (Yvonne Strahovski), is rocky and the two fall in love. The acting is pretty decent throughout the film, with Aaron Eckhart as the title character giving a gruff and unlikable quality to the role. The same is true of Bill Nighy, who plays the evil villain Naberius. He is authoritative and threatening, and unfortunately, he carries the character's demonic vocal effects too much. Ultimately, the movie feels like a rehash of the classic Frankenstein tale. While the plot isn't particularly exciting, the movie is still entertaining, with the monster brooding with gargoyle queen Miranda Otto and making friends with supermodel scientist Yvonne Strahovski. And the CGI battles between the gargoyles and demons aren't bad either. The movie also focuses on the secret gargoyle/demon war and the demon king Bill Nighy. I, Frankenstein is a decent horror/action mashup that offers plenty of action and impressive visual effects. However, literary purists may cringe at the film's re-creation of the Frankenstein monster. The film sets up a premise of a demon-like creature being hunted by gargoyles, and it ultimately forces Adam to confront his creation. While he is fighting to save his life, he finds himself caught between cosmic opposites. 42. Countdown (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZsgNH17_X4 Despite some flaws, this movie is still one of the most entertaining films on this list. The cast is all great, and the special effects are great. However, it doesn't quite deliver the hype it's received. Still, it's worth a watch if you're a fan of the genre. While it lacks the spooky gimmicks that made The Ring such a hit, "Countdown" delivers a decent horror flick with a solid cast and enough jump scares. However, Countdown isn't as funny as I had hoped, and its leading man can't build a successful career off this film. Countdown is a good film for those who want to experience a few scary moments in a safe environment, but its storyline is not particularly compelling. Countdown is a basic horror film, and its plot and characters aren't particularly original. It's essentially a smartphone version of Final Destination, and its jump scares rely on Rube Goldberg-style death traps to punish cheaters and other misdemeanors. That's a problem, but Countdown isn't as bad as you might think. So, if you're in the market for a good horror movie, check out Countdown on Netflix. Countdown is a Halloween-themed horror film that's a decent time-filler. Starring Elizabeth Lail, Jordan Calloway, and stand-up comic Tom Segura, Countdown hopes to capitalize on the horror genre. Although the film's lack of star power may limit its appeal, the novel hook will keep the audience interested and entertained. Even if it doesn't have much star power, Countdown does offer a solid story that will appeal to younger audiences. 43. A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCVh4lBfW-c A Nightmare on Elm Street is a horror movie that was released in 1984. It is based on the true story of Nancy Thompson, a high school girl who has nightmares about her dead high school classmates. The film stars Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, and John Saxon as teens who are haunted by nightmares and are forced to face them to stop them from coming true. It was directed by Wes Craven. The film was inspired by a real story, which was published in a newspaper. In this article, Craven learned that the Hmong people in Cambodia were suffering from the Asian Death Syndrome, or Brugada Syndrome, which causes unexpected death during sleep. According to the article, several Hmong men have died while dreaming. The idea of dreams affecting reality came to him after he learned about this horrific disease. This film is unique because of its unusual plot. The film features the character of Freddy Krueger, who is not your ordinary slasher movie villain. His supernatural abilities allow him to kill people while keeping it 100% comical. This is an important part of the movie and makes it stand apart from many other horror movies. Overall, this is an excellent horror movie. Despite its controversial nature, the film is considered a masterpiece of horror. New Line Cinema, which produced the film, was in a slump before the film's release, and it took some time for the studio to recover from this slump. Critics have lauded the film's ability to blur boundaries and explore social themes. Variety called the film an amazingly imaginative horror film. 44. Gerald's Game (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyLOAaihZ84 The romantic horror movie, Geralds Game, is a tense, suspenseful film about a dying sexual relationship. The two main characters, Gerald Greenwood (Bruce Greenwood) and Jessie Burlingame (Carla Gugino) are going to a lake house to rekindle their relationship, but before they can start, Jessie nearly runs into a stray dog. Mike Flanagan, the director of this Stephen King adaptation, has an excellent track record for his films, though they've never been great. As a director, Flanagan demonstrates an excellent understanding of the material and manages to pull it off admirably. But the film's strained narrative loses its vigor in the final act, and it feels like a wasted opportunity. Gerald's Game is not for the faint of heart, but it's still a solid movie with a good premise and a strong cast. While the film isn't a ghost movie, it is still a dark thriller that explores themes of misogyny and child abuse. As such, it's a good choice for those looking for a chilling movie on a chilly evening. The film is well worth the viewing, but be prepared to see some dark moments. Regardless of the age of the audience, Gerald's Game is sure to make you cringe. The story revolves around Jessie Burlingame, a woman in her fifties, and her husband, Gerald Greenwood, an older man who's married to Jessie. Their lovemaking begins with a normal night, but ends in Gerald's death from a heart attack. As a result, Jessie is left handcuffed to a bed post, and must use her wits to escape from her cuffs and battle her crumbling psyche. 45. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2KRKxAb2ek This Bollywood horror comedy sequel continues the story of Reet (Kiara Advani) and Ruhan (Kartik Aaryan). The plot follows the unlikely duo as they explore the dark underbelly of the human condition. With a sexist tone and a plethora of slapstick jokes, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 tries to capture the eerie ambiance of late-2000s Bollywood slapstick comedy. Kiara Advani is gorgeous and competent, while Tabu, who played Bhabhi in the original, plays a meaty role that is not as well-developed. Other actors who show promise include Rajpal Yadav and Sanjay Mishra. Unfortunately, the dance sequences don't quite match Vidya Balan's mastery, though they are decent. Kartik Aaryan has a wry sense of humor, and his 'Bool' character remains captivating throughout. The movie also has plenty of light moments, though the lead character (Ruhan) is less prominent in the second half. Meanwhile, Ashwini Kalsekar is a remarkably likable and endearing character. Rajpal Yada Pandit is a good comic relief, but she is no Ruhaan. The film is a bit uneven. While the first film was a cult hit, the sequel falls flat and is a lot more forgettable. In the second half, Ruhan is largely ineffective, which leads to the film's humor. Fortunately, this is compensated by a great climax. There is some chemistry between the two leads, but the film ultimately fails to be a complete success. 46. #Alive (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ8CCg1tOqc Korean zombie thriller "#Alive" has already surpassed expectations. Its slick pacing and stylish verve make it a nimble zombie thriller. The film's tight storyline, a sense of urgency, and well-judged doses of dark humor keep the movie from feeling overly stale or predictable. Its portrayals of its characters are also admirable. This zombie film has many similarities to COVID-19, including the quarantine. It features zombie makeup, cannibalism, and shredded clothing. The story is a parody of the COVID-19 apocalypse, but it doesn't follow that path. The film's protagonist, Joon-woo, is a likable guy who struggles to survive. While the plot is somewhat limited, the story is emotionally compelling. Yoo Ah-in makes a strong impression as a young, lonely man who yearns to see his family and return to "normalcy." The actor's performance is a compelling justification for being cast in the film. While some of the movie's scenes are overly sentimental, it's well-written and well-acted. It has been a month since the train to Busan sequel Peninsula was released in South Korea. However, a zombie-horror film directed by Cho Il-hyung is likely to do better than the latter, with a high-profile cast and technical know-how. #Alive premiered in South Korean cinemas on June 24 and is currently streaming on Netflix. While there are some negative aspects to #Alive, the film still manages to capture the COVID-19 zeitgeist. 47. Doom: Annihilation (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD5lIw7OO9o Doom: Annihilation is a reboot of the video game franchise from id Software. The reboot introduced a more self-aware Doom universe and an epic tidal wave of demon-slaying carnage. Unfortunately, this film lacks the elements that made the 2016 reboot so successful. It feels like fan-made nonsense and falls short of its potential. The film's cast is largely made up of indie actors (with the exception of Louis Mandylor), but all of them do a solid job with the material. Amy Manson is a bland-faced badass, but her neo-noir character Joan Dark is a cliched superhero. Dessy Slavova, who plays her action double, is also quite forgettable as the villain, while Amy Manson plays her character, Li. While Doom: Annihilation has some positive aspects, the film's weaker points make it less enjoyable than it should be. The set design and performances are solid, but there's no suspense to be found here. The actors who play the characters are generally bland, and the movie relies heavily on jump scares. In addition, the film's visual language and pacing mimic Aliens, which isn't a good thing. While the movie has some gore, there's not enough to make up for the movie's lack of creativity. Instead, most of the action scenes are rote, with little to no excitement. Despite its lack of thrills, the film is a fun watch for anyone who enjoys classic first-person shooters. 48. Friday The 13th (2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCfO1aB8CIE Like previous Friday the Thirteenth movies, this one is a formulaic murder mystery, with a hockey-masked psychopath called Jason Voorhies killing a group of teenagers who trespass on his wilderness and property. The film takes place at Camp Crystal Lake, where Jason watches as a group of camp counselors behead his mother and then picks the locket containing the picture of his mother. The film was initially intended to be an origin story, but was ultimately a reimagining of the first four Friday the Thirteenth films. Jason Voorhees' appearance was changed so that he could appeal to younger audiences, and the mask was molded from the mold of the Part III version. The film also reused the music that accompanied previous Friday the Thirteenth films. In addition to reworking the storyline, the film also brought back the classic Friday the Thirteenth score by Harry Manfredini. While there is a respectable following for the original 1980 slasher, this new film has plenty of nudity and sexual situations that would make any squeamish movie lover run screaming. 49. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gYGzJDt8HQ If you enjoyed the first film, you'll be glad to know that the third installment is just as horrifying. While it follows a similar storyline, this film takes things back to basics. While the 2003 remake had more action and less plot, this prequel does a great job of eschewing the formula of that film and instead getting back to its roots. It features a tighter storyline, dread, and quality violence. Ermey is a master of the type of role required of him, and he has a great performance. Also returning from the 2003 remake are Andrew Bryniarski, Taylor Handley, Matthew Bomer, and Diora Baird. This movie is not for kids; the violence is too intense and dark. The plot is full of violence and gore, including cannibalism. There are plenty of amputations, sledge hammers, and non-stop use of a chainsaw. While the violence is not overbearing, there are a few scenes of children being harmed. The movie also contains scenes of a girl hiding under a car and an old man urinating next to her. I would recommend seeing this film if you've seen the first one, but it needs a lot of explanation. The twisted plot is not particularly complex, and the violence is beyond cinematic expectations. However, this movie is a great horror flick. 50. Brahms: The Boy 2 (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytxEldPKnyA The sequel to the 2014 hit Brahms: The Boy is a pretty predictable film. The story revolves around Liza (Rooney Mara) and Sean (David Strathairn), who move to a country cottage on the property where the human Brahms' mansion used to stand. But it's a pretty good movie, and it may even spark a franchise. While Brahms: The Boy 2 has few arbitrary scares, it does subvert the formula. In the film, a mother and her son are alone for one night. Their husband Sean is working late and Liza is getting tired of him. A burglary occurs and Liza and Jude are attacked. The film is very entertaining and the actors are good. If you're looking for a new horror movie to watch this summer, this is a good choice. "Brahms" continues the story of the creepy porcelain doll Brahms. In this sequel, Liza and Sean take their son Jude to England to heal. The two stay in the guest house of the Heelshire property, where the events in the first film took place. Jude eventually finds a mysterious doll named Brahms in the woods, and starts communicating with the doll. The film has a very touching ending, but it arrived too late to make up for the dreary hour before. "Brahms" isn't offensively bad, but it is mediocre. It's full of long, silent scenes, where Katie Holmes stares at a doll, and a creepy groundskeeper. Though Ralph Ineson makes an appearance, he doesn't contribute much. 51. Hush (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_P8WCbhC6s If you're looking for a horror thriller this summer, you might want to check out "Hush," the latest movie from Blumhouse Productions. The film stars Kate Siegel as a deaf author who is isolated in a cabin in the woods. The film also stars John Gallagher, Jr. as a masked killer who threatens to kill the woman, who's deaf. Although it's no Wait Until Dark, Hush manages to incorporate the home invasion sub-genre into a twisted and unpredictable tale. Despite its limited cast and a lack of auditory dialogue, the film has a gripping first half and a repetitive, long third act. Overall, Hush is a well-executed home invasion thriller with excellent acting. It's worth a watch, but don't expect to enjoy it as much as other movies in the genre. Unlike Flanagan's previous picture, "Hush" relies heavily on tension to create tension. While Flanagan cannot sidestep the genre's usual conventions, she subverts them in inventive ways. While there's no real surprise in the movie's ending, "Hush" doesn't disappoint as a thrilling ride. It's an enjoyable thriller for fans of this genre. Just don't expect the movie to be revolutionary or novel. Instead, look for characters and a solid plot. While "Hush" isn't a masterpiece, it's still worth checking out if you're a fan of horror films. Despite the film's low budget and a lackluster plot, the film is still worth checking out for thrill seekers and fans of thrillers. The gimmick of the protagonist not being able to hear is one of the few clever plot points in the movie. 52. Spawn (1997) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WukhbpAhvrc Despite the gimmick of a zombie-themed dystopian alley, "Spawn" isn't an especially good movie. Its overwrought story and violent scenes will likely drive kids crazy. But with its unoriginal cast and overly violent plot, "Spawn" is one of the worst horror movies on this list. I don't like movies that are based on comic books, and I wasn't particularly impressed with Spawn. Though Martin Sheen hammed it up, his performance wasn't that bad. The film's narrator Nicol Williamson is a cliched wise guy who narrates the film. Theresa Randle and D.B. Sweeney are both decent actors. Melinda Clarke is a highlight of the film. Her role as the savior is arguably the only memorable character. The cast is a mix of old and new faces. The film was directed by Mark A.Z. Dippe, who'd worked for ILM on Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park before. Despite the movie's slapdash nature, it features moments of exceptional creativity. Nonetheless, the movie's story is a mess. It's worth watching for its many laughs. It's also worth a watch for those who enjoy horror films. If you've ever read a comic book, you probably remember Spawn. Its mystical premise, graphic visuals, and Heaven vs. Hell theme are all elements of the comic, and its plot is as silly as its title. However, the movie's PG-13 rating makes it seem like it's too tame to be a fun horror movie. Its lack of subtlety makes it an enjoyable watch, but the storyline is too unrealistic. 53. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=janre4HxsX4 This film is an intensely graphic depiction of a small town turned horribly upside down. Set in the American South in the early 1900s, it features implied cannibalism, hanging people from meat hooks, and even people wearing skin suits. Its primary goal is to scare viewers, and it succeeds in this purpose. However, this film is not without its flaws. It lacks a coherent story, lacks exposition, and is gruesome beyond description. While most horror films aim to shock or frighten viewers, a good horror film can have more layers to its story and add a psychological component. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre delivers on this promise. It features an impressive cast, including Jessica Biel, R. Lee Ermey, and Eric Belfour. However, this film is most impressive when the scenes involving Leatherface are in full swing. While this film is filled with disturbing scenes, it fails to make much sense and is not rated for children. This horror movie also lacks social commentary. Even though the film has a larger budget than the original, the dialogue is largely bickering and not very effective. The film also suffers from slow-paced, mediocre acting, and an excessively long running time. However, it is worth the price of admission if you're a fan of R. Lee Ermey's previous films. The movie starts off in a particularly gruesome manner. The first scene begins in a horrifying fashion, with a mouth-sucking suicide and a series of horrific shocks. The film has a great deal of tension and has plenty of scenes of violence. If you're not a fan of the series, don't worry, it will still give you some chills. 54. The Babysitter (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQTEUd-5JMQ If you're looking for a new horror film to watch this weekend, you might want to check out The Babysitter. The movie is a horror-comedy with a strange premise about a cult. While its sexual titillation is likely not appropriate for young children, you might find it funny enough to watch with your friends. You may want to avoid it if you're expecting a serious and thought-provoking movie. If I'd known better, The Babysitter would have been a surprisingly fun and entertaining ride. While it does manage to channel the spirit of its decades-old influences, it feels like a step backwards in the genre. Although the movie is filled with horror archetypes and a comedic foil, its plot feels disjointed, and some elements of dialogue don't make sense. And the main character isn't particularly likable, despite her charm and her obvious need for affection. In this movie, Samara Weaving and Judah Lewis play Cole and Bee, respectively, as two teens who fall in love with each other. Weaving also plays Bee, a cool yet evil babysitter. Weaving makes an excellent choice for the role, convincingly playing both sides of her character. Weaving's performance makes this movie a fun watch, with a good balance of comedy and action. The Babysitter isn't the life-changing movie you're looking for, but it's entertaining enough to pass the time. It has some decent death scenes and a wicked storyline. I'd recommend it to fans of classic horror movies. And if you don't mind going a little bit trashy, you'll enjoy this movie. The plot is a basic Friday the 13th movie with some extra gore. 55. Unfriended (2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvo2eA8JfjA If you are looking for a horror movie with a fresh take on the social networking world, you'll love Unfriended. With an 83-minute runtime, it is a perfect horror movie for the summer. The story follows high school student Blaire Lily, who has a boyfriend named Mitch Roussel. Both are eager to sexually taunt each other over Skype. Jess Felton, Adam Sewell, and Kennington Smith play their respective roles. The film starts off strong with a compelling premise and a climactic climax. The movie begins with a brief glimpse of the main character's laptop. During this time, the viewer can observe the activities that take place in the background, as well as the thoughts that run through her mind. While this element adds some tension, the film falls flat as a result of its sloppy editing. The film takes a deep look at human nature through its characters. Set up as a game of "dead teenager" where a group of friends are forced to disclose their secrets, Unfriended presents six different types of friends. The group includes Blaire, who is in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend Mitch, but has a connection with Adam, a jock, a clown, and a nerd. Val is a semi-tolerated member of the group. Another interesting aspect of Unfriended is that it's a real-time movie. The screen of the main character's computer is the only thing that breaks the narrative. As such, it is a unique film. But if you don't care for such realism, you should watch another horror movie if you want to see this genre in an interesting way. This film is worth seeing. Just be sure to have the right attitude and you'll enjoy Unfriended. 56. A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuYoEtEI_go The latest version of the Freddy Krueger franchise is the first in over three decades, but it still hasn't lived up to its promise. While the 2010 remake, directed by Samuel Bayer, tries to capture the spirit of the original film, it often forgets about its own themes and ideas. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a fun, albeit dated, horror flick. This Michael Bay-produced remake attempts to recreate some of the horror classics from the original film, but ultimately fails to deliver on its promise. It relies on tired and cliched horror genre tricks to create a film that is devoid of any real horror. Nevertheless, audiences are guaranteed a spooky and unnerving 95 minutes of violence. That's a shame, considering the genre's history. A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010 is a remake of the 1984 original, but it's nothing more than a mediocre motion picture. It relies on the iconic imagery from the original to earn profits, and it uses the name recognition of Freddy Krueger to do so. The remake also suffers from some mediocre CGI effects and scenes that are lifted wholesale from '84. However, despite its flaws, the film does have some interesting ideas. Though it's not as original as its '84 predecessor, it builds on the original's strengths and deviates from it. This new version of A Nightmare On Elm Street doesn't have the same suspenseful elements as the first film. However, the new film also reveals the darker side of Freddy and demonstrates his genuine beef with the kids. The film is also less of a hacker or slasher, with the added specter. Although there are some naughty scenes, this film's underlying message is not as creepy as it once was. 57. The Bye Bye Man (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGdOnCiQRpQ Much like Beetlejuice from years ago, if you say the Bye Bye Man's name (or think it instead) he will come and find you. When murders happen and you are brought in for questioning how are you supossed to tell the police what happened without saying or thinking his name? Although this is certainly a horror film that will scare you the plot is quite old hat (did I mention Beetlejuice). Now granted Beetlejuice was far from as scary as the Bye Bye Man but still it would have been nice if the writers had come up with a slightly different concept. This movie is worth the watch but don't expect the plot or storyline to blow you away. 58. The Girl Next Door (2007) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biRvF7UwW4Q The Girl Next Door is an American drama film based on the 1989 Jack Ketchum novel of the same name. The plot revolves around the exploitation of a young girl who lives next door to her aunt. The movie follows David (Alison Pill) and his best friend, Max, as they try to help Meg, who is being sexually abused by her aunt. The film is well-written and beautifully shot, and is also a good example of period production design. Despite its realistic setting and strong character development, The Girl Next Door is still legitimately terrifying. The violence, while horrific, is not believable, but would be easier to accept if the film were fiction. The story of The Girl Next Door is not about one girl, but several. It focuses on a devoted neighbor named Ruth Chandler (Blanche Baker). Although the screenplay varies from the novel in some areas, the film's overall message is the same: a good character gets a tragic end. It also has a plethora of colorful characters to keep audiences entertained. There's a good bit of violence and gore in this movie. It's not always clear what happens to the girls until the final scene. The Girl Next Door is based on a novel by Jack Ketchum, and it explores a dark relationship between a housewife and a suburban teen. A successful businessman named David Moran witnesses a car accident that causes Meg to move in next door to his aunt Ruth (Baker). When the girls start dating, Ruth begins abusive behavior towards them, and this escalates to terrifying proportions. 59. Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB0aHrd7rUo Texas Chainsaw 3D is a mediocre sequel to the first Leatherface movie. While competently done, this sequel falls short of the original's brilliance. Ultimately, this movie is a mediocre drive-in horror movie that will leave you scratching your head. While I'm not a huge fan of this horror film, Texas Chainsaw 3D is a solid effort if you're looking for a scare. The story is a familiar one, and "Chainsaw" doesn't change much. The story continues with Leatherface's murder of the Sawyer family, which includes their daughter, Heather. Despite the gruesome nature of the crime, the movie still manages to provide a decent thrill ride. While the film does not live up to its predecessor's standard, it does offer a fun time, even if it doesn't do enough to make the experience a memorable one. The story follows the events that led to Leatherface's death and his obsession with making women and children suffer. While the film offers generic thrills and jumps, the chainsaw effects are much better than expected. A young actress plays the titular Leatherface, and she proves her commitment by performing well in this film. The movie is rated R and will not be appropriate for children. If you want to see a gruesome movie with a young cast, Texas Chainsaw 3D isn't for you. While Texas Chainsaw 3D is not the best film in the series, it is competently made and carries plenty of brutality. It is a decent sequel, but non-chainsaw fans will recognize it as a generic slasher movie. While there are many noteworthy cameos, it doesn't really rise above that level of mediocrity. 60. There's Someone Inside Your House (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdZ43OuZXjQ "There's Someone Inside Your House" is a modern update of the popular high school murder mystery from the late 1990s. Like its predecessors, this thriller is a good choice for those looking for a chilling yet entertaining movie. Features of this style of horror films will find this movie enjoyable, although it doesn't quite reach the same heights as many of its predecessors. While the plot is fairly predictable and the ending is somewhat disappointing, there's a lot to enjoy in this Netflix horror film. The movie's central characters are flat and flimsy, serving mostly as props for the story. The film's lackluster dialogue and dull pacing take away from the movie's central idea: a murder mystery. Unfortunately, that plot doesn't go anywhere, and the film doesn't even take off until the very end. While it's entertaining enough, "There's Someone Inside Your House" is a rehash of that same old formula. It's easy to get sucked into the slasher genre, and There's Someone Inside Your House follows a similar path. The film has a simple plot that doesn't move much along, and the horror genre has its share of formulaic movies. But when done right, these films can be great fun and check the box of a Netflix horror movie. But don't expect a new breakthrough in this genre anytime soon. While the opening scene is not as thrilling as you might expect, the second half has an interesting twist: the first fifteen minutes of the film are very well made. The scene that opens the movie is reminiscent of the opening scene of Scream, where Drew Barrymore's character is the focus. Makani, the female protagonist, is a beautiful outcast. Diversity in the film's cast and characters is one of its best features. 61. Hell Fest (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olBLvQ26_eM This is one of the rare examples of a straight-up horror film without a kitschy post-modern angle. However, for those who enjoy a good horror flick, Hell Fest may be the perfect choice. It is currently available on Netflix. While the movie has its share of scares, its main character is one of the most forgettable and unlikable characters in recent horror movies. His character is a lame duck slasher who walks and clenches his fist like the "Arthur" internet meme. He wears a mask that says "Definitely Not Leatherface" and toys with the victims' personal space. The lack of personality in the movie's cast makes it hard to root for him or the victims. However, the movie's setting and cinematography are good, and the festival scene is a nice touch. Unfortunately, the film's dragging plot doesn't help its cause. With a theme park as the backdrop, Hell Fest is an exciting horror film that utilizes its settings to good effect. Though there are some flaws, Hell Fest's performances make up for this by making the film more enjoyable than it could have been. While it may not be a must-see horror film, it's still a fun and terrifying slasher for Halloween. If nothing else, Hell Fest may be a worthy addition to the movie lineup on Netflix and is certainly better than some other movies on this list. 62. Hostel: Part 3 (2011) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bSP4wLfMpA The third installment of the cult horror series is a definite disappointment. While the movie is filled with twists and turns, it lacks fright moments. Instead, this movie is more of a torture porn gag than a true horror flick. However, it still offers a few messed up moments. The first installment of the series was based in a remote Eastern European country; the sequel is set in Las Vegas, where the Hostel organization operates. While the original was set in a foreign country, this time, the victims are isolated, alone, and lost. The EHC, unlike most shady organizations, operates in a big city and has access to security cameras and police officers. Although the movie is not a good representation of the true story of Hostel, I did enjoy the action scenes and the character interaction. Despite its lackluster sequel, Hostel: Part III is still a solid B-thriller. While it doesn't have the quality of the original horror movie, it does manage to entertain and frighten. While there's nothing terribly frightening about the film, it is still interesting and slightly voyeuristic. I would recommend this film to fans of the previous Hostel films, but not to people who are terrified of torture. 63. Splatter (2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDk0Eu7CPqQ Splatter, a film produced by legendary producer Roger Corman and directed by cult director Joe Dante, is a horror comedy. Corey Feldman stars as rock singer Jonny Splatter. This movie opens with a gory voodoo chant, and it ends with a bullet through Splatter's brain. While it has an intriguing premise, Splatter quickly devolves into cheap horror movie badness. Splatter follows a band member named Johnny Splatter (Corey Feldman), who blows his own head off. The band he is leading dies, and five of his former friends (including his manager) come to his funeral to pay their respects and find out what they can take from him. The band is a failed group, and Splatter is determined to avenge the death of his friends. While it might seem like a cheap horror movie, this film is a fun roller coaster ride of gruesome violence. In fact, the film's budget was so low that the director was able to make two films in 18 months. There's even an amusing end credits sequence. Nonetheless, Splatter is a bit of a mixed bag. It's worth seeing if you like gory flicks, but be aware that it isn't for everyone. 64. A Classic Horror Story (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHqyFhrb3uU This film is so filled with cliches, and it uses so many horror movie tropes that you can recognize them from watching other films. I do however think that the film is still quite intriguing, and the cinematography is excellent. The first hour is full of dread, with one scene that is especially unnerving. The twists and turns continue, with each new twist revealing the true story of the ringleaders. The last act of the film ends with a twist, leaving us to wonder if it was all worth it. However, it's difficult to find any real horror movie that manages to keep us guessing until the very end. "A Classic Horror Story" is a horror film about five young travelers who are trapped in the woods. The film's bloodshed is intense, with spikes gouging out the eyes, knives slicing the throat, and rifle shots. The setting is very similar to MIDSOMMAR, with huge stick effigies flanked by flaming torches. A Classic Horror Story has the classic horror setup: a group of mismatched strangers are thrust into a foreign setting, where they must survive against malicious actors. A Classic Horror Story's directors, Robert De Feo and Paolo Strippoli, co-writing with Lucio Besama, deliver on the B-grade promise for two-thirds of the movie's runtime. In the final scene, the film makes a commentary on Italian cinema, which is a good thing in my book. 65. Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttDBcYr3bCU The film is an intense horror film that will keep you glued to your seat, even as you try to figure out who is behind the mysterious meteorite that crashes into the town of Lompoc. The film's title, "Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight," is reminiscent of the 80s. In this film, an emo, pot-smoker, cynic, and jock are thrown together in an ominous forest. But there's one major flaw: None of these characters have any kind of a character arc, and each of them is doomed to an unremarkable fate. Directed by Bartosz M. Kowalski, it's a spoof of the slasher genre, and it's likely to appeal to teenagers. The film contains strong language, drug use, and some sex. And it's not a movie for children, but it's certainly worth seeing if you're a horror fan. 66. Cadaver (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc8sZbEEO8U For those of you who don't know, Cadaver is a Norwegian horror film that is rated R. The film is directed by Jarand Herdal, whose previous career has been spent making music videos. The director has a distinctive style, which suits the story well. While the film doesn't have the best acting or the most interesting plot, the cast and directing choices are impressive and the mystery and intrigue are compelling. This Netflix international horror-thriller focuses on a post-apocalyptic dystopia and is built around an unsubtle class-division metaphor. While the film has some on-trend sensibilities and a good setup, it has a few flaws, such as its increasingly silliness and overdone social commentary. It also feels longer than its 86 minutes. It lacks a hook or special something, which is an unfortunate outcome. The movie is a good setup, but it can't cope with its implausibility. There's a palpable sense of desperation in the film, which keeps the audience's attention. And since the film is largely based on real life events, the lack of mystery will have a negative effect on the overall rating. 67. Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight 2 (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23ZldXshgFI The sequel to the 2015 film "Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight" expands upon the original premise. The film's central character, Zosia, gains power from an off-world source. However, this power makes her a killer. The film's plot is surprisingly gripping, with an end that's well worth the wait. While the story is compelling, there is an unpleasant change in tone, which is disturbing for some viewers. The main characters are initially likeable but start to change in unexpected ways. The change in tone may be too much for some viewers, but if you enjoy action movies, this may not be a problem. The dialogue in this movie is reminiscent of "Scream," and it combines a few elements of the first film. 68. Girls With Balls (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X0GMOcZnYw Netflix's Girls With Balls may be one of the worst movies in years, but I was still willing to watch it despite the low ratings it received. Although it's not a horrible movie, it doesn't do much to earn my respect. The gore is impressive, but the film feels unimaginative and lacks any sort of heart or humor. It relies too heavily on one-note sequences to make the movie entertaining. This schlock comedy tries to go against the grain of most horror movies by focusing on strong female characters and sexuality. While this makes for a fun ride, you'll find yourself unable to invest in the characters. However, the movie does have its fair share of ridiculous violence and doesn't do a good job of highlighting the film's gender imbalances. The movie follows the titular women's volleyball team, the Falcons. A group of the girls is traveling home after a tournament and takes a detour to a derelict bar. While they're in the bar, they come across some pretty attractive athletes dancing on tables. Despite the fact that they're not really welcome, they try to escape. When they find out that local men are waking the girls up for a dangerous game of volleyball, the team decides to head back to the gym. Eventually, they're back on the road, but not before a serious incident occurs. Laurent's film has elements of both Foucauldian and Sadeian hypnosis, and the director hypnotizes Louise in a lecture to induce a sexual gesture. But as the film continues to progress, the treatment becomes more obvious. The resulting repression of these women makes them appear as symptoms of male anxiety, and the aforementioned sexual tension begins to emerge. The film also showcases how the women regain their self-respect through various strategies. Eventually, a distressed patient sings a beautiful song about her mother. 69. Psycho (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDZCXPBYHY0 This film is loosely based on the life of the serial killer Angulimala, who was known for his 99 murders. However, the film has more to offer than a spooky plot. This movie also has an intriguing love story. The serial killer is played by Gautham, a visually-challenged music conductor who falls in love with Thagini's voice. This film has some of the most gruesome violence seen in recent Tamil movies, but it still manages to humanize the serial killer. The film has a strong emotional core and makes the audience empathize with the killer. This film is definitely worth a watch, if you like horror movies and gore. Mysskin makes a strong debut with this film and is one of the most consistent directors in the world of horror films. His vision and direction are flawless, and debutant cinematographer Tanveer Mir aids Mysskin's vision. The film is packed with action and brutal violence, but Mysskin avoids painting the killer in the dark. Rather, he shows how the system creates psychopaths and how love prevents them from becoming psychopaths. Overall, Psycho is a good film, but you won't find yourself feeling awe-struck after watching it. The plot is predictable, but the film does have a compelling back story that draws you in. There are a lot of parallels between the storyline and other serial killer films, so the movie does have some great elements. The film's spooky scenes are perfectly staged and Dakhini's gory and visceral retelling of the story at the end is a highlight. 70. Blair Witch (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=girSv9UH_V8 In this horror film, a young man ventures into the Black Hills Forest of Maryland. He is searching for his missing sister and many people believe the legend of the Blair Witch is connected to her disappearance. He enlists the help of two locals, who act as guides through the woods. While walking around, a menacing presence suddenly appears and makes the group realize that the Blair Witch is not only real but far more sinister than they could have ever imagined. The film has an intriguing storyline, following the disappearance of Heather Donahue 20 years ago in Maryland. James, who never saw the original film, discovers Heather in some YouTube footage. He and his girlfriend tag along with him. As they explore the mysterious woods, the group finds themselves engulfed in a nightmare that is fueled by fear and a desire to know the truth. But while the story is intriguing, the movie also feels a little too predictable. The director Adam Wingard and writer Jeff Nichols have delivered another horror movie with familiar elements. While the film begins with a shaky cam, it settles into a smooth groove once the characters are in the woods. There are plenty of jump scares in this sequel, but it lacks originality. But if you're a fan of the original, you'll enjoy this one! I don't want to spoil any surprises, but I do want to give you a heads up that you'll like it. 71. Drop Of Blood (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EioXcu9YpyA This movie is about a man named James who lives in a perfect suburban neighborhood with his perfect wife. However, his perfect life is turned upside down when he accidentally cuts himself while repairing his sink. Once he sees the blood on his hand, his life spirals out of control. To understand why, let's look at the plot of the film. The story of a deadbeat father in France is compelling, but the premise is flawed and the film's multiple timelines make it hard to follow. Nevertheless, there are some excellent performances and a compelling narrative that makes the movie worth a watch. The narrative wrinkles and the great work behind the camera make it a compelling watch. Despite its modest budget, the film's tone deafness is a problem. Director Nasser Al Tamimi lards the story with silly science and endless exposition. In reality, the story doesn't need silly science or amateur actors explaining the details of it. It's a story about human nature, and we're not the only ones with that sensibility. But we have to consider that the film isn't really about evil. 72. Ammar (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9pyfZDsK0k I'll be honest. I didn't particularly like this movie. I was expecting something more frightening and more exciting, but I wasn't prepared to be utterly unnerved. It was a psychological horror movie, with unknown spirits stalking a family's house. The film's characters are terrified of living alone in a large house with dark rooms, and the youngest child isn't even sure if she wants to be friends with the spirit. Ammar is an Egyptian horror film directed by Mahmoud Kamel and written by Ahmed Al-Dahan and Haitham Al-Dahan. Sherif Salama stars in the film. Nilewood Productions produced the film, and MAD Solutions is the distributor in the Arab world. The film is set in Egypt during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Mahmoud Kamel is a regular director in the country. Despite the bleak circumstances of the Ammar family, they're still hopeful about the future. As Farid begins to search for a new job, he discovers that he's been fired from his previous job. Though he's worried, Dina assures him that he'll be employed soon. But if he doesn't get the job, the rest of the family is devastated, too. 73. Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1E240HdoR0 The story of Errementari is based on a classic fable. The protagonist is a blacksmith with a secret. The little girl who enters the Blacksmith's world is also there, as is an official looking for gold. Eventually, the events in the story lead to the gates of hell. Errementari's narration does a good job of describing the character of the evil man, and the repetition of words creates an interesting dynamic. The movie begins with a disfigured orphan girl named Usue. She sneaks into the blacksmith's home and releases a caged boy and the demon Sartael. However, the boy and the blacksmith are not happy with her actions, and the demon sets them on a deadly quest to rescue Usue. The lynch mob believes that the blacksmith is a child-smoker, and he is infiltrating the town. The plot revolves around the mythology of the Errementari. This mythological character comes from the Basque language, which is infamous for its extreme oppression under Franco's dictatorship. Speaking Basque in public was once illegal. However, the story is set in a very realistic environment that is reminiscent of real life. The movie is a highly recommended film. Although the film is based on an ancient fable, it tries to stay away from the overtly religious tonality of the original version. It's a dark fairy tale with a strong emotional connection. I enjoyed it enough to recommend it to horror movie buffs. It has a great cast and looks stunning. But be warned, it's not for everyone. 74. Veronica (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQW5I5tCy28 Veronica is a well-made thriller that is based on true events. While the movie is heavily based on a true story, it still takes some artistic license. For example, in one scene, a spooky nun is shown talking to a small boy, who is reportedly speaking to an unidentified entity. Despite this, "Veronica" is an enjoyable film to watch. Although it doesn't bring anything new to the table, its compelling story and shaky pacing make it a worthwhile watch. Although Veronica has few original ideas, it does offer good scares and a creepy haunting. In fact, this movie has been dubbed the scariest movie of all time. It doesn't look particularly spooky, but it does feature some nice visuals and scares. Even the ending of the movie is a bit jarring - the ghost doesn't really do anything until the last half-hour. The gist of the movie is based on real events and the story of a young girl who becomes possessed after using a Ouija board. Veronica was a teenager who lived alone, but soon unleashed a paranormal world around her. While the movie is set in Spain, English subtitles are also available. While Veronica does have some terrifying imagery, it is not the "scariest movie ever." The lead character is eaten by her younger siblings and her father is shown as a naked zombie. While Veronica isn't the scariest movie of all time, the horror elements are effective. This movie doesn't rely on the latest horror tropes to shock the audience, but it still makes a strong case for the genre as a whole. The film is also beautifully shot and the music by Heroes de Silencio adds to the movie's eerie tone. While there is some ghoulish gore, Veronica focuses on the basics of a haunted house. 75. Don't Listen (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB0_lagcVwM Don't Listen is a good haunted house movie and a worthy addition to the Netflix haunted house genre. Though the movie does incorporate cliches, the film still manages to maintain an unnerving atmosphere and keep the audience's interest until the very end. The film is very well-structured and has some creepy moments that will definitely keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The film has some impressive horror elements, such as flies and disembodied voices. There are also witch trials and flies that go into ears. The movie lacks a lot of sense, however. The movie's story involves the souls of religious fanatics who are tortured and must seek revenge on a family. The movie does have its moments, but overall, it's a disappointing experience. Don't Listen follows Daniel and Sara, a couple of marginally defined house flippers. When their son, Eric, begins hearing voices, they hire a famous EVP expert to help them uncover the truth. As a result, the couple is trapped in a house with a haunted history, and they need a way to get rid of it. And they don't know where to turn. While this movie focuses on the paranormal, it is not without its share of scary moments. EVP, or electronic voice phenomena, has made a splash in movies like White Noise. This film also uses EVP as a means to explore grief, loss, and the supernatural. The storyline follows a father whose young son died unexpectedly. He seeks the help of a famous paranormal investigator (German) and a sonic engineer named Belen Fabra. During the investigation, the team uncovers some dark secrets about the house. 76. The Strange House (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eTNAVaAHZ0 If you're looking for a great family horror movie, check out The Strange House. The story follows a pair of brothers, Hendrick (Leon Orlandianyi) and Eddi, who move into a creepy house in a small town near Slovenia. Once there, they begin to experience paranormal activity in the house, and soon team up with two local kids to investigate the mysterious deaths of the original inhabitants of the home. Despite the hype, the film is also surprisingly family-friendly, despite the unsettling atmosphere. The film stars Julia Koschitz, Leon Orlandanyi, and Benno Rosskopf. After Hendrik's father dies suddenly, he and his two sons move to an isolated house in Austria. There, he meets two teenage girls named Fritz and Ida. They discover that a murder has occurred in this house, and they attempt to uncover its secrets. In order to do so, they need to get rid of a mysterious killer. However, there are a few things that they have to do first before they can finally find peace. The first chapter opens with a chilling phrase, and the movie follows that through a series of connected, interrelated stories. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of a large house, including the creepy creatures that inhabit it. The story is tense and disturbing, and you'll likely want to see it at least once. 77. Raw (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFlXVX2af_Y Ultimately, the film succeeds as both a grotty shocker and a sensitive portrayal of late-adolescent girlhood. Despite its brash approach, this film is nonetheless worth watching. The premise is intriguing: a young girl comes of age and learns her true identity in a grotesque, shocking manner. Although this film is known for its gory scenes, they aren't all that gruesome. While other horror films are more graphic, Raw doesn't have too much blood-letting. As a result, the gruesome scenes become all the more effective. Raw is an effective horror film if you don't expect a lot from its gore and violence. The film is a must-see for horror fans. Although Raw features many gruesome scenes, it also reveals its sensitive side. A teenage girl who is determined to fit in becomes obsessed with carnality. Justine bonds with her older sister Alex, a vet college student with her own secrets. Despite the dark undertones, the film also aims to depict the complexities of female friendship. In a way, this movie will appeal to teenagers who have recently left home. Raw is a visionary film that explores issues of identity and selfhood, and is a gruesome but poignant reflection of the human condition. The director successfully blends grotesque body horror with awkward humor, and it never feels out of sync with its overall message. Raw may have received a mixed reception at Cannes, but it's worth watching if you're looking for a body horror film with a deeper meaning. 78. The Influence (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Auhmosn7aI "The Influence" is an eerie film about two sisters who have to deal with the end-of-life instructions given by their mother. The story centers on Nora's nurse-daughter, Alicia, and her younger sister, Sara. Alicia's nursing skills will relieve Sara of the caretaking burden. Alicia's family, which includes her husband, Mikel, and their eleven-year-old daughter, Nora, also move into the house of their late mother. Although "The Influence" has a witch-like atmosphere, it relies heavily on a life-support system to maintain tension. While the film does have some good performances, the narrative plods along without much excitement. In fact, it's best when the film turns more towards reporting, rather than focusing on scares. The documentary's strongest moments come from the more straightforward reportage, including segments about the work of Bell Pottinger for Chile's far-right UDI party, Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, and the Pentagon's $500 million propaganda campaign in Iraq. 79. The Trip (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC5MwTuEeeg The Trip is a dark comedy that has a gimmick about a trip. It combines elements of Tarantino and the Coen Brothers with edgy humor. Noomi Rapace and Askel Hennie do an outstanding job playing married couples in love, and the film is definitely worth a watch. However, you have to be prepared for some pitfalls in the movie. First of all, "The Trip" is a black comedy that blends elements of violence and comedy. It is a movie that is perfect for fans of this genre. While the film has an abundance of bloodshed and violence, it also offers a good time with friends. Although many will complain about the film's violence, it is still enjoyable. While it looks promising at first, 'The Trip' delivers on expectations. In this dark comedy, a couple is trying to reconcile and start over with their lives. Unfortunately, they meet with a mysterious visitor just as they plan to execute their nefarious plans. However, the consequences of their decisions catch up to them. The movie is a good example of satire and violence in cinema, and I recommend it to all filmgoers. 80. The Swarm (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si5irFBLe5s This movie is definitely worth checking out. It follows a single mother, Virginie (Suliane Brahim), as she struggles to raise her teenage daughter Laura and her young son Gaston. After her husband commits suicide, she's facing foreclosure and is forced to turn to farming locusts for protein. The only person she knows in the area is Karim (Sofian Khammes), an African immigrant who offers her assistance. However, the consequences of her actions are disastrous. While it isn't a traditional horror film, it is a cautionary tale, and isn't a perfect thriller. After all, this is a film about a woman who's at the end of her rope. Though it's a bit slow to start, the close-ups help to creep the audience out. The Swarm is an incredibly tense movie. The slow-burn suspense is enough to keep you glued to the screen. In a similar vein, the movie is full of disturbing images and sounds. The swarms feast on dead people and animals. At times, characters cut themselves to draw blood. A teenage girl is also a victim. And while it is important to understand the premise of The Swarm before watching it, you may not be as prepared as you'd like to be. 81. The Privilege (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLBn_2SmTWU While the movie could have been better as a mini-series, it does have a good cast and a creepy premise. Though I didn't care for the use of black magic, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the acting. Max Schimmelpfennig's performance as the title character, Finn, is promising, and Lea van Acken's performance as the humanoid shadow makes for a terrific cast. The film has its moments, but overall it falls short of its goals. Its premise is a spooky one, and while we don't want to spoil the movie for people who haven't seen it, The Privilege lacks originality. It doesn't care about genre and instead attempts to mash up horror film cues to create a movie that has no place in the genre. This film isn't worth more than a single viewing, as it's a bit too distant from its intended goal. The Privilege starts with a traumatic incident in which Finn witnesses his sister's death while babysitting. His parents leave for the night unaware of the demonic presence behind them. This scars Finn forever, and he begins to notice things in his home that seem eerie. He also worries about his sister, Sophie, who has been facing fatal issues all the time. But his parents dismiss his concerns. 82. Paranormal Investigation (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCghF6-HLOs While the Ouija board set-up and faux-documentary approach are somewhat original, the overall experience feels like a lazy cash-in on the recent interest in the paranormal. As such, the movie doesn't really scare anyone and will likely remain a forgettable experience. However, if you are a fan of this type of film, there is no need to worry; it is not a waste of time. In this thriller, a team of paranormal investigators gathers in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains to investigate the Grand Old Lady Hotel, a 112-year-old, 40,000-square-foot hotel. Locals call it the "Stanley" of the south. This movie was directed by Franck Phelizon and features a cast of talented actors. 83. The Wasteland (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QojkL0FA0CY This Spanish-language horror film is visually striking, with wide expanses of desert and claustrophobic family homes. Cuesta's acting is superb, and her use of mood and atmosphere makes this a scream-worthy film. While some of the film's gore is unavoidable, it's not the main focus. The story revolves around the isolation and stress that lead to insanity. "The Wasteland" has a few great elements, such as a child protagonist who demonstrates an impressive talent for acting. Despite being only ten years old, Flores is believable and sympathetic. Her unofficial co-star, the beast, exudes slow-burning malevolence. A lot of horror films put their big bad in the forefront and leave the film without suspense. "The Wasteland" is an atmospheric horror film set in 19th century Spain. The script by David Casademunt and Marti Lucas, which was originally titled "The Beast", is an intriguing combination of psychological thriller and folk-horror. It explores a lot of heavy themes. 84. The Bar (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcOqUb5Z7xg Though the premise is a common one in horror films, the film is executed well and keeps the audience on a knife edge. The apocalyptic/survival horror subgenre is re-energized with The Bar. Its unique concept keeps viewers guessing, while the threat outside does not reveal itself. It's a good example of how to craft a horror movie. The film opens in a bar where the atmosphere is chaotic and unsettling. Most of the characters are made up of types: a headstrong young woman, a smart-but-gorgeous guy, a mysterious businessman carrying contraband, and a middle-aged spinster. There's also an insane homeless man who wanders the streets. Despite these stereotypes, "The Bar" is a fun and entertaining thriller that will leave you feeling shaken and receptive to a sequel. The Bar has a strong cast of characters and a wacky script. The director, Alex de la Iglesia, is a veteran of dark comedies. His films are known for creating situations and characters that are unnerving and comically cruel. The Bar is no exception. The film takes its time to set up its characters and their relationships, and it has some very funny scenes as well. The Bar is a frenzied and tense film. It opens with jazz-infused music, setting the stage for the trippy imagery and unrelenting tension. The movie isn't overly dark, but it has a very tense atmosphere that keeps the audience on edge. The film also contains a number of different layers of comedy and suspense. The movie isn't for the faint of heart. 85. Under The Shadow (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHVFP80Upxw "Under the Shadow" is a compelling movie, especially before the supernatural creatures show up. The young girl Dorsa claims that an invisible friend has taken her doll. Shideh is confused, but she tries to be a decent mother. The story is also filled with questions about her husband's involvement in politics, and she feels like she never measures up to society's ideal woman and mother. Unfortunately, the story doesn't stop there. The movie also features the djinn, an ancient evil spirit that is able to manipulate people and animals. "Under the Shadow" is an Iranian-language psychological horror film directed by Babak Anvari. It tells the story of a mother and daughter who are haunted by a mysterious force in 1980s Tehran. Narges Rashidi, Avin Manshadi, Bobby Naderi, Ray Haratian, and Arash Marandi star in the film. As a first-time director, Anvari uses his artistic skills to create a riveting and haunting horror movie. "Under the Shadow" is the debut feature film of Iranian filmmaker Babak Anvari, who grew up during the Cultural Revolution. He was also raised by his mother during the Iran-Iraq War, so the story is set in 1988, when Iraq began hammering Tehran with strategic missiles. Although you don't need to have a thorough understanding of 20th century Iranian history to appreciate the movie, it helps to have an appreciation of the film. While the movie's narrative and characters are essentially textbook, their cultural specificity makes it stand out. 86. The Maus (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYDjNe0JJdI The Maus is a complex and often confusing film about the aftermath of genocide and war. Shot through the eyes of survivors, the film explores a world torn apart by hatred and violence. But the film also demonstrates how inaction in the face of such adversity can be terrifying. While the film is not directly connected to the comic by Art Spiegalman, director Jose Luis Herrero appropriates the title to create an important film. While a story of persecution is often underrepresented in popular culture, this film sheds light on a historically under-recognized atrocity. While horror films are often excellent vehicles for political messages, Maus proves to be an excellent Trojan horse. While The Maus does not fall into the horror genre, its film structure is reminiscent of the genre. It borrows elements from established genres while adding its own touches to it. Director Fernando Herrero injects splashes of fantasy and drama into the film to remove the scare appeal, while making it a more nuanced political experience. While this movie has its flaws, it is definitely worth checking out for the sheer strength of its work. It will definitely make you think. The Maus is a very interesting film set against the backdrop of the Bosnian war. The cat-and-mouse setting provides a fascinating backdrop for the film, and its feminist commentary and metaphors for trauma survivors make it a highly recommended film. 87. Don't Kill Me (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBtoCN2N-CY Ultimately, this is a teen horror movie with a vampire-zombie theme. It also introduces the Overdead, a new breed of monsters that seek revenge and sustenance after a violent death. A drug addict named Mirta and her friend Robin overdose on heroin. She then escapes from a mausoleum after a funeral, hoping to find her parents, but she soon finds that she needs to eat the flesh of living people. The two of them must stay hidden from a mysterious sect known as the Benadanti, armed with guns and tasers. This film is not a zombie movie, but it is similar to Twilight in its gruesome approach to the genre. The main characters are young girls who fall in love with a "bad boy" (Robin). However, they are not together anymore. After a drug overdose, Mirta finds herself revived, and has to find out where her boyfriend has gone. Mirta sets out on a journey to uncover what she's become. 88. The Binding (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIY_YLq1tAc Netflix is happy to accommodate Halloweeners with a new supernatural horror film called The Binding. Directed by Domenico Emanuele de Feudis, The Binding is a classic horror movie with all the usual elements, including a creaky old house, a tarantula bite, and a chemistry set of weird treatments. But this movie is largely forgettable, and I would recommend passing on it unless you have seen all the other 185 horror films that Netflix has to offer. While it may sound like a good horror film, the movie doesn't live up to its hype. In a low-lit, Italian setting, The Binding relies heavily on atmosphere. It follows a woman visiting her fiance's family and fighting for her daughter's life. While the plot is fairly standard, this film isn't terribly scary, instead relying on horror tropes to create a tense atmosphere. The Binding relies heavily on unsettling atmosphere to create a tense situation. Despite its conventional structure, the movie makes a social statement by tackling abortion. In one scene, a character is bitten by a tarantula, which when lanced, launching lava like a Vesuvius. Another scene shows a woman being held down and sliced with a knife in a strange ritual. While this movie relies heavily on atmosphere rather than jump scares, it makes use of excellent cinematography and set design. Despite the gloomy setting, the film is beautifully shot, with good lighting and a spooky atmosphere that makes you wonder how this girl is going to get out of the house. In addition to the visuals, the performances are also well-done. The only issue with this movie is that it lacks a solid villain. 89. Dabbe: The Possession (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnduZWRT-rs 'Dabbe: The Possession' is a Turkish horror film released in 2013. It was written and directed by Hasan Karacadag, and was produced by J Plan and Toma Productions. The film features a terrifying, uncanny intro, and a horrifying, final scene. Although it is filled with jump scares, 'Dabbe' avoids the usual horror movie cliches. Although a demon-possession horror film, "Dabbe: The Possession" stands above the average fare in the genre. While it isn't as frightening as The Devil Inside or The Rite, the film still manages to stand out in its own right. The film is also better crafted than similar horror films, thanks to its strong cast and focus on the effects of divorce. Dabbe follows two unlikely heroes - psychiatrist Ebru (Alison Williams) and exorcist Faruk, a man with a scientific background. While both help a possessed woman, one of them ends up killing her husband on their wedding night. While the exorcism goes well in the beginning, things soon turn horrific. As the film progresses, the duo is forced to work together to save the woman. This Turkish horror film is a must watch for horror fans. The eerie, stark locations are a perfect backdrop for this film, which is based on a true story. Despite the disturbing and horrific aspects of the film, it remains an enjoyable and terrifying experience. 90. Dabbe 5: Curse Of The Jinn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEoPu3cIZ14 Unfortunately, I found this film to be pretty generic. I didn't particularly enjoy the movie, but I will give it a pass for its decent acting. In addition, the soundtrack is fine, though it doesn't do anything to distinguish it from typical horror fare. In fact, overall I was a little disappointed with the soundtrack, which just seemed to waste time. Dabbe 5: Curse of the Jinn isn't the best horror film, but it does have a few strong points. Its ending is a bit too implausible and contradicts the text and pictures at the end. Still, overall, the film is entertaining and worth seeing, especially if you like horror films. Ilyas, a djinn, is the most interesting part of the movie. He reveals to Kubra that the curse was placed on the village before her wedding. He reveals that the curse is the fault of Kubra's father, Kubra, who killed a djinn to help his daughter. However, the curse is not completely lifted. The only way to remove the curse is to dig up the dead man. 91. The Mansion (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOCskb2vwbw This horror film is like a music video about drugs. While its premise and plot seem unrelated, the movie is a fascinating and horrifying exploration of addiction. The cast of teens, aged eight to fifteen, is a diverse lot, making it an exciting watch. The movie's set-up is also impressive, with a number of well-drawn characters. However, its execution is a bit unwieldy. While "The Mansion" may be a horror movie with a lighter tone, the film is a far cry from a traditional slasher flick. While it manages to skewer every genre cliché, the film is also stuffed with heavy humor. Unfortunately, this combination quickly turns the movie into a bore. The story revolves around a group of college students who go on a New Year's Eve trip to an isolated mansion and find themselves confronted with terrifying creatures. Though the film lacks originality and maturity, it does manage to entertain. While there are some cheesy elements in the film, it is ultimately a surreal farce. The viewer can't tell whether a scene is a dream or a real event. This film skewers horror movie tropes, and succeeds at it, but also makes some smart moves. The movie's final twist is particularly chilling. Although the film's story may be dark, it is entertaining. 92. Animas (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCHQUI7HyFU Netflix's Animas has been making waves since its release. The film's teen drama and psychological undertones are often shocking and compelling, and it blends reality with a certain amount of ease. However, there are some flaws that make it less appealing than it should be. Animas is a psychological thriller about a friendship between two childhood friends, Alex (Clare) and Bram (Pellicer). Both of them have troubled upbringings, and they both struggle to deal with their own issues and the problems of their parents. Alex is plagued by low self-esteem and an urge to self-harm, and soon begins to see apparitions and audio hallucinations. While it takes a while to get going, Animas' affecting premise and stunning visuals make it worth your time. While it's not for everyone, it rewards viewers who pay attention. Even though the film isn't groundbreaking, it will appeal to genre fans and satirize the struggles of emo teens. Animas's sluggish start will annoy many, but once the movie's tone warms up, it becomes a compelling watch. While "Animas" is a fascinating psychological thriller, it is also difficult to follow. It keeps its audience guessing for around fifty to seventy percent of its duration. However, if you have some experience with this type of horror films, you'll have no trouble following the plot and its twists. 93. Sweetheart (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlJwxYmfSuo This Blumhouse film is a fun monster film, pitting its resilient female lead against a myriad of challenges. Despite a generic plot involving a woman trapped in a world of isolation, Sweetheart succeeds thanks to a tight running time and excellent photography. It's a solid pulp movie, but it isn't the most memorable of the year. While the plot of "Sweetheart" is simple and straightforward, it isn't without its fair share of metaphors. Kiersey Clemons plays a shipwrecked survivor, and we get a couple of glimpses of a scaly creature, but we're left to wonder how she'll cope with the situation once she arrives on the island. Thankfully, the script isn't a total flop, and the film's cast includes four good actors. The film is mostly about Jenn's introspection and isolation, which is a central theme of the story. It avoids the dopey scenes where Jenn narrates her own thought process and relies on long stretches without a word spoken. Instead, we're given a sense of Jenn's desperation and the struggle to cope. Sweetheart is a great movie to watch if you like genre movies, but it's definitely not for everyone. While "Sweetheart" earns three stars out of five, it is not quite as enjoyable as its predecessors. As with many similar thrillers, it lands somewhere in between. But it's more enjoyable when it knows what it's doing, which means that the film doesn't take itself too seriously. 94. Death Note (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvxNaSIB_WI If you've enjoyed the anime series Death Note, you may have longed to see an American adaptation. This year's adaptation was the first of a three-part Netflix series, and it follows the titular character's exploits as he seeks to save humanity. Though the anime series was incredibly popular, it was short enough to work as a film, which unfortunately results in a rushed, underdeveloped film. While the plot is similar to the manga, there are some differences in the way the story is told in the movie. The movie starts with Light accidentally finding the Death Note while trying to escape Ryuk, who has just come back from an ordeal. When Ryuk shows up, Light is terrified, and she tries to hide it, but Ryuk is not far behind. The movie ends in a climax that isn't nearly as satisfying as the manga, but it's still an interesting movie to watch. The storyline is based on the manga, which was written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. A high school student finds a supernatural notebook, which he engraves with the name of the person he wants to kill. As he gains godlike powers, the owner becomes enamored with his abilities, and starts to kill unworthy people. But a mysterious detective tries to find the owner of the Death Note. 95. In The Tall Grass (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7afc9gTbVFI In the Tall Grass is a horror film starring Sam Worthington, who is a genius at creating suspense. The film follows a young boy who gets trapped in a field of tall grass. He is rescued by his sister and brother, but they soon realize that they cannot leave, and something evil is lurking in the tall grass. IN THE TALL GRASS is a horror movie loosely based on King and Hill's novel. It follows six characters in the titular field. Becky, a six-month-old expecting her first child, is questioning whether to continue the pregnancy. When she hears a call for help from Tobin Humboldt, played by Will Buie Jr., she decides to help him. A mystical rock lurking in the tall grass plays the central villain. Called Black Rock, this evil creature craves human sacrifices. It lures its victims into the tall grass and traps them in a time loop where they meet past versions of themselves. Eventually, they are consumed as food for the rock. While the concept behind this spooky movie is intriguing, it suffers from several flaws. The film has a creepy theme, as the story is based on the story by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill. Despite the gimmickry and creepy theme, "In the Tall Grass" leaves viewers feeling confused and unsure about the meaning of the film's final moments. 96. The Silence (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-ufZuqTd5c Although The Silence is not a direct copy of the wildly successful A Quiet Place, it does suffer from some of the same flaws. For example, while both films feature a deaf daughter, The Silence relies heavily on its cast to pull it off. In addition to Stanley Tucci's unfailingly effective performance as a father, the film also showcases water mask giveaways and features an ingrained teaching. Though the film does have some heart, it fails to impress in terms of animalistic thrills. Rather, it sticks with speed, razor-fangs, and a few other elements that barely bite the skin. Unfortunately, The Silence fails to build its suspense as it tries to do in the first half of its 90-minute running time. While it features several familiar faces, the film's dialogue is painfully flat and oftentimes sounds like a cold reading. The film also features a side story about a long distance teenage romance, which is just completely unnecessary in these circumstances. In short, The Silence fails to engage the audience and leaves them apprehensive. The Silence is a decent movie, but its plot is not very interesting or original. It's not surprising that there are a few "shut the f**k up" moments in it. The script is terribly predictable, and at times feels a little too scripted. In one scene, a father and best friend have a long, boring exchange. Moreover, the performances in this movie are inconsistent, which makes it feel even more uneven. 97. Eli (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfSTiAw1rkM If you're in the mood for a new horror flick, look no further than Eli. While this psychological thriller does not have the scariest elements in its plot, it offers a good level of tension and atmosphere. The acting is excellent, as is the film's atmosphere, and the premise is a clever one. However, despite its merits, the film isn't a horror classic, so you'll want to watch it with the right expectations. This twisted mystery follows a boy named Eli, a boy who has cancer and is brought to a clean house run by Dr. Isabella Horn. After undergoing intense treatment, Eli begins to see spooky creatures wandering the halls. Netflix acquired the movie's rights from Paramount after the studio couldn't figure out how to market the film properly. The film is a blend of mystery and horror, with elements of both. Despite its many flaws, Eli is a fun watch. It features great tension throughout, and the end is satisfying, though not as scary as some classic horror movies. As a result, the movie rewards multiple viewings. It's one of those rare horror films that feels like an adventure instead of a dull thriller. You can't help but feel like you're playing a game with the character, and it doesn't take much skill or luck to win you over. The story is an interesting take on the auto-immune disease. Eli's condition is so severe that he is allergic to nearly everything, which causes him to break out in a horrible burn-like rash and almost suffocate. His condition forces him to live in hermetically sealed tents and to wear a hazmat suit when he does go outside. His parents are desperate to find a cure for Eli, and turn to a mysterious doctor in a remote manor. However, Eli starts to have nightmares and hallucinations as soon as they arrive at the treatment center. 98. Dark Skies (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8iLp1xQtPQ As an alien abduction horror movie, Dark Skies is a solid choice. This sci-fi thriller draws heavily on Poltergeist and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to create an atmosphere that is both haunting and scary. The film is well-acted and has a great atmosphere, but it is somewhat formulaic, especially in terms of its final act. If you're looking for a scary movie that appeals to the whole family, Dark Skies is probably not the film for you. The film is reminiscent of Spielberg's unproduced proto-E.T. script and is similar to a sequel to Close Encounters. The movie is a solid workmanlike piece of suspense, with believable performances and a steady build-up of suspense. Its slow pace is a plus for the film, but it's not for everyone. The film's generic plot is not terribly original, but it is surprisingly enjoyable, especially for fans of alien style horror movies. The title was lifted from a 1996 X-Files knockoff TV series, and it does have some interesting ideas. Still, Hamilton and Russell play their roles with plodding sincerity. The two stars, however, do a good job of bringing the audience into the world of the Barrett family, which is an example of a middle-class family's meltdown. Despite the low budget, it is a solid sci-fi movie that borrows from Close Encounters and Signs. While the movie does not aim to be an outright homage to Spielberg, it is a worthy addition to its genre. 99. The Forest (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hW8hUcXR-A This supernatural horror movie starts with some jump scares, but it doesn't go overboard with them. The premise of East meets West could go a lot of different ways, but "The Forest" makes the most of it, without going overboard. If you're not a fan of supernatural horror, you'll want to skip it. If you're looking for something original... you're in the wrong place. The Forest starts off by establishing Sara as a morbidly depressed young woman, unable to live in the present. But the movie does more than establish that: the film builds in Sara's depression, highlighting her vulnerability to spirits. As a result, the movie feels a bit dreary. The film isn't terribly bad, but it's not enough to keep viewers interested. There are plenty of better horror movies out there. The film's first act is drab and boring. I was left wondering how long it would take Sarah to make it through the forest. Thankfully, the second half is much more exciting. The somber atmosphere of the film keeps viewers guessing throughout. "The Forest" is a poorly made PG-13 horror film starring Natalie Dormer, a Game of Thrones actor. It follows a woman named Sara, who searches for her missing twin sister in a suicide forest in Japan. She meets a mysterious man named Aiden, who offers to guide her through the forest. Soon, Aiden starts playing tricks with her mind, and Sara begins to see visions of her sister and herself. 100. The Haunting In Connecticut 2 (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcoR4S-E8b4 The Haunting In Connecticut 2 is a disappointing sequel to the first film, but the plot is well-acted and the dialogue is smart. The adult leads give solid performances, and child actress Lind conveys intense fright convincingly. The movie also features a cameo from Cicely Tyson. Despite the disappointing ending, The Haunting In Connecticut 2 is a fun and creepy spooky movie. The Haunting In Connecticut 2 is the sequel to a supernatural horror film based on the novel by Tom Elkins. The movie's characters are fairly typical working-class people. Andy Wyrick is a prison guard, but his job has little bearing on the plot. He's unaware of the supernatural phenomena. Lisa and Joyce Wyrick, however, believe that the ability to see ghosts runs in the family. As such, they believe ghosts are a malad or ailment. "The Haunting in Connecticut" is a mediocre horror movie, and the second installment follows the same formula. The characters and story remain mostly unchanged from the first film, but the script is a bit stale and lacks originality. Nonetheless, there are plenty of memorable moments and strong performances in this sequel, and the special effects are good. But, like its predecessor, "The Haunting In Connecticut 2" isn't particularly good, so don't expect too much from it. Despite the name The Haunting In Connecticut 2 doesn't take place in Connecticut. The title doesn't even make sense; the ghosts are Georgian so why they decided to keep the same name from the original is a valid question. So, as a horror film, it fails to connect the characters and scream scares. 101. No One Gets Out Alive (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY2TLiK27g4 No One Gets Out Alive is an excellent horror film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Based on a novel by the same name, No One Gets Out Alive embodies the nightmare of being an undocumented immigrant in America. The premise is simple: an immigrant is struggling to make ends meet while working in a sweatshop. He hopes to gain citizenship, but soon finds himself trapped in a haunted house. The plot revolves around an undocumented immigrant named Ambar, who moves into a sketchy boarding house run by two white brothers. He gives them his deposit, but they fail to deliver. Eventually, Ambar ends up being ripped off by his coworker Kinsi, who promised to get him an ID. No One Gets Out Alive tries to tread the fine line between social commentary and horror, while also treading on difficult territory when it comes to immigrants. The film is well-made and features a strong performance by Christina Rodlo. It's part haunted house, part twisty monster film, and is a worthy first feature for a debut director. It's an enjoyable movie, but it's far from great. No One Gets Out Alive's opening sequence is creepy, with a spooky title card that sets the tone. The movie is well-acted and believable, despite the occasional fright. 102. Incident In Ghostland (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66JuZ1cb03E If you are looking for an interesting horror movie, Incident In Ghostland may be the right choice for you. This French film is a definite leap of faith for fans of the genre. While there are several twists and turns, the overall structure of the film is not too complicated or clunky. Rather, it maintains the mystique of the genre while adding a few new twists. Director Pascal Laugier tries something different with his latest film, Incident in a Ghostland. The film follows the story of two sisters who live with their mother in a rural home. Beth (Emilia Jones) is a shy, creative type with an interest in macabre fiction, and her sister Vera (Taylor Hickson) resents that her mother is more interested in her, the quieter girl. Vera's mother Beth, a talented horror writer, is a victim of the same prank. In fact, Beth has turned her childhood nightmares into a bestselling horror novel. After all, she has managed to put her traumatic childhood behind her. Beth, too, is an author, and her new book is based on the attack that took place 16 years ago. However, Beth is suffering from post-traumatic stress, and when she is confronted by Vera, she decides to go back to the farmhouse where the real horror took place. While it may be a spoof of a classic horror story, it also has its share of flaws. Its title makes it seem like it's about ghosts and ogres and witches, but there's no backstory, and there is little context. This film is a disappointment but if the concept sounds interesting to you then check out the trailer above to see if you might want to watch it anyway. 103. It Follows (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkZYbOH0ujw If you're looking for a dark teen horror movie, It Follows is a terrific choice. The film is surprisingly original, boasts great filming and synthesized creepy music, and features some stunning locations. In addition, it's relatively quiet, with little dialog and only two loud "jump" scenes. While it uses a variety of genre-specific tropes, It Follows isn't as exploitative as some might think, and is well worth seeing. Despite its tame ending and irritating censor cuts, It Follows is one of the better horror films of the last few years. Even if it lacks a truly frightening ending, it's an impressive and worthwhile outing for fans of the genre. It Follows is the perfect choice for those who enjoy a good horror film with a message. The film's pacing will make you feel the need to check your neighbor's back as you walk through the neighborhood. A remake of a popular urban legend, "It Follows" tells the story of a young girl named Jay who is plagued by disturbing visions since she had a sexual encounter with a boy at school. Jay must pass on the 'it' curse through intimate encounters with those who will become its victims. The film's director, Chris Mitchell, is a master at creating suspense. 104. The Wind (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVZBNT0Ap-A The Wind is a slow-burning, atmospheric horror movie that functions better as social commentary than as a thriller. Its pacing, character development, and strong acting are among its many positive qualities. The makeup work is impressive, too, particularly when the shotgun blast splits the skull. The gimmick of a woman draping herself in blood holding a baby corpse is also impressive. And there's some great dialogue too. The Wind's story is one that will appeal to a wide audience, if only because it has a chilling original score by Ben Lovett, and exceptional cinematography by Lyn Moncrief. Although the film has many flaws, it also showcases a talented writing and directing team. Its opening scenes feature back-to-back wordless scenes of death that are among the film's most harrowing moments. Regardless of the flaws of the film's structure, it's worth watching just for the performances. Despite its ambiguous genres, The Wind is a highly enjoyable horror movie. The eerie atmosphere is a defining characteristic of this historical drama set in frontier America. Its screenplay is innovative, and it tells the story from the perspective of a strong female character. The Wind features a strong cast that embodies its eerie ambiance. It also plays off the psychological damage that comes with the traditional housewife role. It leaves audiences to question whether the events portrayed in the film are caused by Lizzy's mental illness or simply an out-of-body experience. Lizzy, played by Caitlin Gerard, has no trouble believing that the titular wind is a demonic entity. As a result, the film feels reminiscent of the Evil Dead, but with a twist. 105. Demonic (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvyPmbBpBWw Demonic is a 2015 American supernatural horror film directed by Will Canon. The film is written and produced by Max La Bella and Doug Simon. The film stars Maria Bello, Frank Grillo, Codin Horn, Dustin Milligan, Megan Park, Aaron Yoo, and Alex Goode. I found the film to be quite creepy but not overly so. It also had a few good jump scares. Overall, Demonic is an entertaining introduction to the genre of Ghost Hunting Gone Wrong movies. Parents should take note that the movie does have some mature content. It is rated PG-13, and is likely too scary for young children. There are some interesting moments, but this film is far from a great horror movie. Its central character, Jack, is a young idiot trying to prove the existence of the supernatural. The rest of the cast isn't particularly memorable, and the storyline isn't very original. There are plenty of other horror movies starring young, dumb people, but Demonic suffers from the same issues as those of other films. 106. The Open House (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMSu3Gyz1jU The plot of The Open House sounds interesting enough, but its execution falls short. There is little chemistry between Dalton and Minnette, and the movie uses overused genre cliches to make up for it. One scene, for example, involves a sudden burst of music and a camera shot showing a character who appears out of nowhere. The ending is also less than satisfactory. Despite its good actors, The Open House falls flat on its horror plot. Its direction, sound effects, and pacing all fail to match the story's ambition. The overall effect is a film that lacks imagination and tension. Its two lead characters are believable, but the film suffers from a lack of emotional heft. Despite these flaws, the film has some promising moments. Logan, a teen who is a talented track runner, is left with huge debts when his father dies in a hit-and-run accident. Naomi, his mother move into her dead relative's house. This is where things get interesting. Logan's father's death takes the family apart and forces the two to come to terms with the situation. Logan is a dedicated runner, and his mother is an aspiring date. The mother-son dynamic is realistic and well-done by Piercey Dalton and Dylan Minnette. While the plot is a bit predictable, the film's excellent performances will keep audiences interested and entertained. The Open House is one of the weakest Netflix originals and is not recommended for demanding horror fans. 107. The Old Ways (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzanbaFpSXg Despite its relatively thin plot, The Old Ways manages to pack a surprising amount of cinematic punch. Its clever storytelling device of capturing the "communication gap" between an addict and his helpers is particularly impressive. The stumbling block of language serves to keep the characters in the dark, and only accentuates their alienation. The Old Ways is a film about a heroin addict whose life is turned upside down by a mysterious figure. After suffering from a drug addiction, Cristina starts to believe that she is being possessed by a demonic presence. But it reveals the answer too early; it would have been more effective to keep the audience guessing until the end. That said, I enjoyed the film enough to give it a chance to prove its point. 108. Incarnate (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g10LD3Xsh2Q Incarnate is an exorcism tale with a fantasy twist, but it burns its best bits and becomes a conventional film. Written and directed by Brad Peyton, Incarnate once had a fresh story, but was watered down by multiple production companies. Its ending made my head spin like Linda Blair in The Exorcist, and the film suffers from a lack of imagination and character development. Incarnate is directed by Brad Peyton, who previously made Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and San Andreas. The film stars Aaron Eckhart as a psychiatrist who has the unexplained ability to enter the minds of the possessed and use that gift to evict the parasitic entities residing inside the victim's mind. In this way, he's able to demolish the false reality that the demons create for their victims. Although Aaron Eckhart is a talented actor, "Incarnate" has no redeeming qualities and is a poorly acted throwaway. Its story is predictable and uninspired, with a mediocre cast based on pseudo-science assistants. As a horror movie, Incarnate isn't particularly worth your time. But if you like Aaron Eckhart, you might still enjoy this one. The film is a rushed affair and makes an attempt at bankability by throwing in a reoccurring concept. The movie moves quickly and has a few memorable moments, but the overall effect is disappointing. The story is a little too long, but the action is exciting, so watch out for the over-the-top effects. 109. Coming Home In The Dark (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvj24PTQa7Q The premise of Coming Home In The Dark is simple enough. A high school teacher named Alan, his family, and their dog, Tubs, decide to take a road trip to a New Zealand beach town. They stop for a family photo and a picnic, but soon afterward they are taunted by two drifters, the wickedly eloquent Mandrake (Daniel Gillies) and his sullen sidekick, Tubs. Despite their good intentions, these strangers threaten the family's safety and eventually force them to fight back, resulting in an altercation and a violent climax. Despite the gloomy theme, the film does succeed in capturing the viewer's attention. The film is directed by James Ashcroft and based on a short story by Owen Marshall. The cast of Coming Home in The Dark includes Daniel Gillies, Miriam McDowell, Erik Thomson, and Matthias Lufutu. The movie stars a diverse group of talented actors. It is a highly entertaining film, but the climax is somewhat underwhelming. Coming Home In The Dark is an absorbing road trip horror film that succeeds as a lean survival thriller, but it shifts into another gear once the story reaches the last act. In the final reel, the film feels all over the place, and the focus shifts more towards themes of guilt and accountability. This film would benefit from more money and a larger cast and budget. Even though it's only 90 minutes long, it manages to set its intentions early, builds up a strong climax, and ends with a thought-provoking ending. 110. I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRP-4f_vyrY "I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In the House" follows a live-in nurse who takes care of a reclusive elderly author. It is a surprisingly good movie despite the fact that it is based on a true story. It is a bittersweet romance that will tug at your heartstrings. The film's opening scene alone is about two minutes long, but the rest of the movie is one-note. The film's ssombertone is not suited to the big screen, which could have made it more enjoyable for younger audiences. The film's lack of plot may turn off some viewers, but it is still worth seeing, if you're looking for an entertaining spooky movie. "I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House" is a slow-burning haunted house horror film directed by Oz Perkins, the eldest son of horror icon Anthony Perkins. It's an intensely creepy, atmospheric film shot entirely inside a creaky old house. Ruth Wilson plays Lily Saylor, a live-in nurse who moves into a reclusive author's house. The film follows her as she discovers the house's dark past and the inhabitants inside. This film is a sister-film to February, which is a good sign. Much of the same creative talent was behind February, including cinematographer Julie Kirkwood, who is a master of mood shifts. But, as with February, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives In The House doesn't have the jump scares to keep viewers invested. However, it does have a plucky protagonist and a great backbone. 111. Death Of Me (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thL28CAcuYo The film is a xenophobic chiller about a family who's on vacation in Thailand and finds themselves at the mercy of some evil Thais. While the plot is a bit confusing, the film's mystery is its strongest asset. The film opens with an ominous mystery tour of a small Thai town. As the video begins to be played, shocking events begin to unfold, including a couple being stabbed, shot in the head, and thrown through the windshield of their car. The movie also features disturbing images of women with their mouths stitched shut and graphic sex scenes. The film has a few interesting elements, but overall, it's a mixed bag. The film opens on an intense note, but sadly, it quickly degrades. Despite the chaotic tone, the film's actors perform admirably. Its script is written by Ari Margolis and James Morley III, two screenwriting duo who wrote the Saw franchise. Maggie Q, Luke Hemsworth, Alex Essoe, Kelly B. Jones, and Kat Ingkarat round out the cast. The film's story is a climax that ties up loose ends while still keeping the mystery of the main character intact. The movie revolves around Christine (Maggie Q) and Neil (Luke Hemsworth), a travel reporter and a former astronaut. In the film's first half, the couple has a romantic getaway, but in the second half, their vacation turns into a terrifying guessing game. After all, the two wake up with total amnesia and caked in dirt. The film's elevator pitch was "The Hangover" (not exactly horror), but this movie is much more about trying to uncover what happened to them in the aftermath. 112. Clinical (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eth7JUKVwok During the first two-thirds of the movie, we are introduced to a bunch of secondary characters that only enter the picture when trouble is brewing. Sadly, this leads to the film's weakest point: the final third, which relies heavily on the expected and is akin to a run-of-the-mill slasher. Even with its surprisingly effective face-off between the two leads, the film lacked the originality to keep the viewer interested. The gore and the clunky storytelling make Clinical an "ok" movie, but the climax is a James Bond-esque conversation that makes the film feel dated. One of the most interesting aspects of the movie is how it uses parallel plotlines. One of these parallel plotlines involves a psychiatrist whose office visits a young patient who has been disturbed for years. As he works on his patient, he begins to doubt his own sanity and begins to have visions of the past. As the movie progresses, however, the characters in the movie seem to become increasingly complex and believable. 113. Cam (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1DahKn4HZk Despite the ambiguous title, Cam is a sexting movie - but not the kind that's associated with porn or extreme sexting. Instead, the film is about the post-shame society in which everyone can imagine becoming a star, and Alice's mother fully supports her choice. The film's biggest flaw is that it lacks a strong point of view, so it often feels like a how-to guide for the world of cam girls. Despite its reductive ending, Cam is still a worthy watch for its interesting premise, compelling characters, and a believable plot. Although the film's run time is rather long, it does provide a satisfyingly complex experience for viewers. In a nutshell, it is an enjoyable, but not terribly original, fanciful, and well-made film. In its world premiere at the Fantasia genre festival in July, Cam was a smash hit, winning prizes for best first feature and best screenplay. The film explores the world of internet porn cam girls and sex workers, and manages to avoid overtly male-gaze sex-thriller tropes, all while being a taut, suspenseful fright-fest. While Cam is a technological thriller, it focuses more on the emotions of offline interactions than on cyberspace. It is more relatable than Black Mirror, as it is more about Alice's fear of having a doppelganger and internal conflict. The film's focus on identifying identity in the age of social media is universal. 114. The Perfection (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q57D6kF5B1k The Perfection is a brilliantly crafted film that enjoys upending expectations and subverting tropes. The script makes excellent use of Williams and Browning's talents, weaponizing familiar conventions and highlighting their individual strengths. It's a clever movie that rewards those who are willing to look past the surface and delve deeper into the complexities of these relationships. The Perfection is a Netflix film that plays with genre conventions, using color, narrative, and audience assumptions to create an unpredictable, but entertaining, thriller. It is a surprisingly effective movie and will undoubtedly find a die-hard audience for those who love exploitation and B-movie horror. While Netflix has been a pioneer in streaming movies, it is not a good fit for everyone. The Perfection is a good film for fans of the genre, but for those who are skeptical, it might not be for you. While The Perfection has its share of disturbing themes, it remains a highly entertaining horror movie, despite its dark tone and intense visuals. It is a female-driven movie whose blood-soaked clashes and grisly deaths are not without consequence. Sexy sexual situations are also a big part of the plot. The Perfection is rated R for its strong content and has a high likelihood of frightening viewers. 115. From Within (2008) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7deZyB2kfE From Within is an interesting psychological thriller that draws heavily on supernatural elements. Although some of the sequences are genuinely creepy, the film's length and lack of sparks and magic made it a bit disappointing. If you like horror films, you'll probably enjoy this one. But if you're not a fan of supernatural horror, "From Within" may not be for you. It could have been a great horror film, but its plot and execution were dreadfully cliched. The acting was blah, and the story telling was downright annoying. The film's plot was interesting for the most part, but the nagging questions about the characters kept me from watching. The movie was okay if you don't mind scary movies, but it didn't grab me. 116. Eerie (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHHtvCft9IU The premise for Eerie is not particularly original, but it's a familiar one: a mysterious woman is pursued by a group of black-haired ghost girls, and the evil nuns play a major part in the story. Unlike many horror movies, though, Eerie is a far cry from your run-of-the-mill fright fest. In fact, the movie lulls viewers into a false sense of security just when they expect a jump scare. The film does have some spooky moments, but the overall effect is one of a movie to be viewed more than once. While the concept of the film is intriguing, the execution is uneven. Great horror movies have moments of levity that lighten the mood, but in Eerie, there were none. This horror movie also managed to maintain a relatively low mood for most of the film, and its characters had no outside lives. Pat, for example, was a lone survivor of the horror genre, but she's tortured by the ghosts throughout the film. While this is a worthy goal, the depressing aura of Pat grows old and tiresome after a while. As the title suggests, Eerie is a horror movie. The story revolves around a young guidance counselor who must unravel the school's dark history to save her student from suicide. The school's principal, Sister Alice, seems to be guarding the secret of the school's dark past, but the school's eerie atmosphere is enough to make the film a hit. 117. The Block Island Sound (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRCrUzAcZpA A fisherman's family is shocked when they discover a mysterious force killing wildlife off the coast of Block Island. What follows are horrifying truths and a chilling movie. While The Block Island Sound has a very interesting premise, the movie quickly devolves into a domestic drama. Harry's father has died and he starts drinking heavily. He blacks out and wakes up at sea, where he begins hallucinating. The hallucinations aren't scary, but the premise is. Throughout, we hear strange noises from different sources, including Harry's dead father. The movie is set in a small maritime town, accessible only by ferry. Strange phenomena plague the island, including birds that fall headfirst into the ground and dead fish washed up on shore. Inexplicable things like these lead to a mystery that seems to have no explanation. One of the best mysteries is why people are so afraid of the government and are willing to risk their lives to protect their country. In addition to the murder, The Block Island Sound is a character drama. It revolves around a strained family, and its dysfunctional relationships are brought to light. And as he struggles with his grief and mental state, he is accompanied by his father as he slowly descends into a pathology that seems to have no end. 118. May The Devil Take You (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHObtMkkHSA This is a horror film is in the demonic possession subgenre. While the horror is genuinely terrifying, this film's emotional core is surprisingly heartwarming. In a world where children are sacrificed for the soul of Moloch, a father's love for his son is believable. The plot revolves around Alfie, a young man who returns to the villa where he grew up with his family. While May The Devil Take You has some cool effects and an intriguing premise, it feels like it dragged on far too long. The film could have been a bit more concise, as it ends up being 20 minutes longer than needed. The film's writer and director, Timo Tjahjanto, is no stranger to horror, having directed several segments in popular anthologies. He also directed L is for Libido for The ABCs of Death. The movie also contains a message about greed. It's dangerous, and it can tear families apart. May The Devil Take You Too is a refined love letter to The Evil Dead. It wears its influences proudly. But it reaches new heights of gore and fright, and it's the filmmakers' ability to be creative while staying true to the original storyline. It starts with the classic demonic horror, and progressively grows in gore and blood. And as long as you're prepared to get slain, this horror movie will be a decent watch for you. 119. Homunculus (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGs2znxT7XM This movie is about a modern-day man dealing with a horrific past. The film starts off on a tense note and doesn't let up until the very end, leaving you wanting more. The visual intrigue is certainly there, but the story is a bit tangled and the ending is a little disappointing. Aside from its premise and its creepy atmosphere, this film relies heavily on its performances. The cast, which includes Go Ayano as a hole-bearing scientist, is all great. Even Ryo Narita as the mad scientist Ito is a great asset. But the chemistry between them isn't enough to carry the movie. Although Homunculus is an absorbing film, it falls flat at the end. Despite its low ratings, the film does contain some enjoyable visual sequences. While it struggles to captivate its audience, the film's use of CGI helps make the movie's scenes more frightening than aesthetically pleasing. One of the highlights is a moment when Nakoshi meets a high school girl in a car. The scene is very disturbing, but not overwhelmingly so. While the movie is not a perfect match for the manga, it's still well worth a look if you're a horror fan. After a couple of episodes of the manga, the film is based on a popular Japanese horror manga. The cast includes Go Ayano as Susumu Nakoshi, an amnesic man who lives in his car. He meets an odd medical student named Manabu Ito who wants to use Nakoshi's third eye to help a scientist find a cure for his affliction. The two eventually fall in love and try to save each other's lives. 120. Target (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUqdvI9YnRw The story of Target is an interesting one. It is based on a group of nine actors - some famous, some not-so-famous - who are invited to make a movie called Target. They are then drugged, awakened in a boarded-up hospital building where a mysterious figure in a mask orders them around and begins killing people. The movie is surprisingly funny, with comedic inserts that make you laugh out loud. One such instance is Samuel Rizal throwing a knife to Hifdzi. Another is the scene when he fights Abdur Arsyad with a knife. While there are many interesting ideas in this film, it fails to strike the perfect balance between a comedy and a thriller. While it is entertaining at times, Target does not have a particularly effective plot or feel like a successful genre blending. As a result, it is an enjoyable watch at times, but ultimately a forgettable Indonesian experiment. 121. Dark Forces (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0jMFo5E-3w If you're looking for a new horror movie, Dark Forces is the one for you. The Spanish-language film has a unique neo-noir theme, and Tenoch Huerta stars as a hyper-masculinous outlaw who is searching for his sister. During his search, he engages in sexual intercourse with an attractive waitress and consults a psychic albino. Dark Forces combines elements of horror, kidnapping, and fantasy with a slew of uninformed sex scenes. Despite its unsettling imagery, the plot lurches from character to character, leaving the viewer unsure of what is happening next. The film's lore is left to simmer in the margins, and the movie feels like it could easily be a television pilot. Despite its neo-noir tone, Dark Forces is a very romantic movie about overcoming demons to find true love. However, the romance comes at a cost - the film's sexiness is not for the faint of heart. Despite the romantic element, Dark Forces is a racy, erotic thriller that could make the squeamish feel uncomfortable. 122. He Never Died (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyWralJ2pkk The schizophrenic storyline and wayward thematic direction of "He Never Died" cause this movie to bumble through swaths of entertainment without ever really settling on one direction or another. The sound design is also a major flaw; it often confuses the viewer by mixing subway cars with random sounds like neighing horses and random Hitler speeches. The acting in "He Never Died" is very good. Henry Rollins is particularly good, playing a character with a big forehead that's an easy target for bullets. Fortunately, Rollins' character isn't an idiot. While he's great in this role, the film's plot doesn't quite live up to its potential. The movie isn't as dark as it seems - if anything, it's more humorous. While the supernatural aspects of "He Never Died" are interesting, there are a few things that don't make it a compelling movie. First, it centers on a character that may be a biblical character, but his sour face makes him seem like a Count Dracula. Secondly, "He Never Died" posits that Jack's background includes church hall bingo, ineffective mobsters, and an elderly landlady. He Never Died has no great plot, and relies heavily on Rollins' performance. Despite its shortcomings, Rollins gives us one memorable character sketch, tracing the drab life of a lone superman. In many ways, the film is akin to a vintage Black Flag rager. It's rated R for bloody violence and language, and runs for an hour and 39 minutes. 123. Little Evil (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnj-MXs1yVU There are plenty of reasons to like Little Evil, from its clever premise to the excellent cast. The film's plot is well-written, the cast is fantastic, and the parent-child relationships are interesting. There is also a surprising amount of comedy. In the end, this film is a solid horror comedy with some enjoyable elements. Despite its lack of substance, Little Evil has a lot to recommend it to horror fans. Netflix's Little Evil is a surprisingly sweet horror comedy that infuses a dash of heart into the "spawn of Satan" genre. The film stars Adam Scott as a flustered man who suspects his stepson Lucas is the anti-Christ. Once the truth is revealed, Adam Scott must decide whether to raise his stepson Lucas or kill him, all while dealing with the aftermath of his sinister deeds. The movie is also a timely exploration of gender roles and parental guilt. While there are plenty of reasons to like Little Evil, the film's climax is not a particularly impressive one. While the film is entertaining overall, it suffers from a lack of depth. While it has several good moments, it is not a standout film. While its cast is solid, it is mostly irrelevant. As far as the plot goes, Little Evil pushes the limits of what can be achieved in a horror movie. The father-son dynamic isn't particularly strong, but the film's slapstick comedy style makes it worth a watch. While Lucas is not an average child, he is actually the Antichrist. Gary has to deal with this, and he learns more about his son. While Lucas' presence is entertaining, it isn't always easy to understand the character's motives. Ultimately, it comes down to whether or not he can deal with Lucas in a reasonable manner. 124. Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2yfp6oj2hw In Vampires Vs. The Bronx, three friends discover that the city is being taken over by vampires. As they race against time to stop the vampires, they are joined by an unlikely alliance. The three friends must work together to save the city from destruction. The film is filled with flashes of style and nerve. However, its thin premise and weak pacing make it difficult to build much drama. It feels like a big-city version of Stranger Things, cloaked in the shadow of Attack the Block. It's rife with one-liners and product placement, but ultimately falls short of creating a memorable film. Despite the over-use of New York slang, the plot of Vampires Vs. The Bronx does try to capture the cosmopolitan nature of the city. It also uses Latin music and young Black characters to create a diverse atmosphere. Overall, this is a decent movie, but it lacks depth. This is not a bad movie, but it's not worth watching unless you have run out of other horror movies to watch. While the film makes some interesting use of the E.T. genre, it's also smart to use the gentrification issue as an excuse to make the movie more relevant to millennials. Its theme of gentrification is also cleverly tied in with the community, suggesting that vampires are attempting to wipe out the local culture. 125. Stree (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzeaGcLLl_A This film is a remake of the Tamil film Stree. The movie is set in a small town called Chanderi, India, and the script incorporates the phonics of the place and spins off popular movie dialogues from today. Rajkummar Rao plays the talented tailor Vicky. Parshakti Khurrana plays his girlfriend Bittu, and Abhishek Banerjee plays Jana, her lover. The script is a bit unconventional, but the overall effect is one of thought-provoking comedy. The script was written by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, and co-produced by Dinesh Vijan. Stree uses some of the commercial cinema devices of Mumbai in a way that doesn't feel out of place. It's a rare Bollywood film with a twist. But it's definitely one to watch. The movie is not without its quirks, but it's still worth seeing for its unique premise: a female ghost teaches men to respect women. Stree is based on a folktale in the town of Chanderi, India. In this town, a young woman known as Stree abducts men and leaves only their clothing behind. When the girl disappears, Vicky's friends begin to believe that Stree is behind the mysterious apparition. The story follows the life of a beautiful courtesan named Stree. She eventually marries a man who loved her. However, the two men who kill them are jealous and hunt her spirit. Since that day, Stree's spirit has been seeking true love, and avenging the town's residents. The film features a fantastic cast of actors, and is highly recommended for moviegoers. 126. Roohi (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTT_V0t89MI Roohi is a horror-comedy, which has been missing from Bollywood for years. Hardik Mehta manages to pull it off well, blending a horror story with a comedy premise. The three leads are equally memorable as small-town boys Rajkummar and Varun Dhawan, who are a couple with colored hair and a goofy smile. In the final act, they give the film an unorthodox metaphoric climax. The film revolves around the tradition of bride kidnapping in rural India, where men who like an unmarried girl force her into an unwanted marriage. Bhawra and Kattanni, who work for the gang's mastermind Guniya Shakeel, kidnap Roohi and sell her as a bride. Roohi's wedding is postponed and the movie takes place in the aftermath of the abduction. Roohi is a horror-comedy that mocks rural Indian youth while dealing with the issues of religious dogmas and casteism. While it is not the best movie of the year, it is watchable, especially if you enjoy horror comedies. Otherwise, you may find the story too repetitive and boring. Roohi is definitely not for everyone. But if you're a fan of Kattanni Sharma's character and want to see her go after her destiny, then it's definitely worth a watch. Although Janhvi Kapoor is an attractive and accomplished actress, the film's screenplay fails to give us the smooth, steady path we'd expect. Janhvi Kapoor's character, who is literally a mudiya pairi, has a split personality. She abducts a bride on her wedding night, and her childhood friends go off in different directions. 127. Izla (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6_bJwIHqrs This horror film takes place during the zombie outbreak of the early '90s. The group of survivors finds themselves on an island full of zombies. They decide to elude the zombies by joining forces with the other survivors, but quickly discover that the island is full of apocalyptic creatures as well. The comedy elements in Izla are great, and the film's actors bring some good laughs to the screen. In particular, the film's leads, Valerie Gonzalez, Venus Jason, and Veronica Daza, are hilarious in their roles. Despite being in their early 20s, all three actresses deliver to-die-for cheesy humor. It's hard not to be suckered into this cheesy escapade. Izla starts out funny but soon becomes ridiculous. It relies on dirty jokes and a formula that should never have been revived. The story itself could have been written by anyone, and there is no real redemptive value here. While the cheesy special effects are entertaining, Izla's story is far from interesting or scary. It's not recommended for anyone looking for a thriller, but if you want to enjoy a funny movie with a bit of a horror twist added in then this is a good choice. 128. Secrets In The Hot Spring (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA5jU6wKO3I The mystery of a hot spring hotel draws a group of misfits to its mysterious location. Their unnerving discovery of a ghostly hotel's dark secrets leads them on an incredible adventure. But is the hot spring really haunted? And will the misfits be able to survive this haunting journey? While the storyline of this film is not particularly scary, the hotel setting and the build-up mystery make it a fun film. Despite the fact that it's spread out, Secrets in the Hot Spring has some laugh-out-loud moments and some alright scares. Despite the uneven quality of its plot and acting, this movie is still well worth a watch. A group of misfits (including Hsiao-chin) arrive at a mysterious hotel. They soon discover that the place is haunted. A series of mysterious events lead to a series of hilarious attempts by the misfits to uncover the secrets of the hotel. In the process, they also become a close friend with another misfit, Lu Qun. Ultimately, they save a family. A witty, supernatural comedy, Secrets in the Hot Spring is based on a true story. Two misfits, Hsu Lian and Bat, come from different backgrounds. The main character, Hsu Lian, is a new transfer student who saves Hsu Lian from the Gang of Bullies. They are also gay, although Hsu Lian and Bat are both girls. A new student, Qie, is introduced to the group through a teacher. They all end up pushing Lu Qun into the hot spring. 129. Hantu Kak Limah (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5N_dUvpEa8 This Malay-language horror comedy is one of the best films made in Malaysia in recent years. It has grossed more than RM 35 million in Malaysia, making it the second-highest-grossing film there. The movie was produced by Infinitus Entertainment (Malaysia), which is co-founded by Dato Robin Tan, Andy Lau, and Gayatri Su-Lin Pillai. The movie also features two talented actors, Xavier Chua, and Ng, who are both talented and likable. The film's poster is unsettling and very reminiscent of an old horror film. The movie has a lot of scary, messy women, and a tombstone. It's also funny, which will appeal to many viewers. The movie has a few good moments, but isn't a must-see. If you're looking for something new to watch, that you will want to share with others... this isn't it. This is a movie that is not for the faint of heart. The premise of the film is a kung fu master being chased by Japanese ghosts. While it's definitely funny, it does feel too far removed from reality and makes the film a bit dated. However, if you like silly horror comedies, you may find this film appealing. But if you're looking for a funny movie with a strong message, you'll probably want to look for a different movie. 130. Grandmother's Farm (2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66n11sF6LlE The film begins with Yasser and his friends spending the weekend at Yasser's grandmother's farm. The farm is set in the middle of the desert, and the friends find themselves confronted with a series of strange events. 131. Grandmother's Farm 2 (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svfVXzj2YIk The sequel to the award-winning 2014 film features the same family at the farm, but this time around, they're facing an even bigger crisis. Their daughter is pregnant, and their grandfather is in a financial crisis. Although the movie tackles some difficult subjects, it also has plenty of heart. While there's a fair amount of swearing and non-explicit talk of teen sex, there are plenty of touching moments. The film has a 7.4 IMDb audience rating and N/A on Rotten Tomatoes. 132. Sinister 2 (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fChx_YZUAR0 This sequel to the 2012 horror film is an underrated gem. It offers good writing, good acting, and high production values. Actress Claire Foy, who played the lead in the first film, elevates her role from mere supporting actor to an iconic character. And the storyline itself makes perfect narrative sense. If you've enjoyed the original film, you'll want to see Sinister 2. The new film relies heavily on the mystery aspect, but it also relies on cheap jump scares to keep audiences interested. There's a new family who moves into the haunted house. Unfortunately, they'll be in danger of becoming the next victims. While the film isn't perfect, it's a fun way to spend a Friday night. Here's what you need to know about Sinister 2: The first film, Sinister, was a groundbreaking horror film. It used home movies to show each murder in the family and grew into a terrifyingly spooky movie. The new movie takes a similar approach, with the same creepy children as the first film. It's not a perfect film, but it does have moments that are worth seeing. The first film, which was a hit in its time, was a twisted and terrifying experience, and Sinister 2 has no better way to introduce a similar storyline. The new film has much more depth than the previous one, but still has a few issues. While there's a pall of regret surrounding the events of the first film, the sequel has a heart and an underlying sense of unpredictability. Its family portraits are pleasant, but they have a staged quality. This conceit was avoided by Derrickson and Cargill in the first film, but Foy acknowledges it and makes it work to the viewer's advantage, building suspense and emotional urgency. 133. The Green Inferno (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcpYPu9M3bw If you're a fan of horror films, you might have heard of The Green Inferno. It's a film about activists who crash their plane in the Amazon rainforest and must save the lives of their fellow activists before they are eaten by cannibals. Eli Roth, the director of Cabin Fever and Hostel, directed the film. Lorenza Izzo plays Justine. The Green Inferno isn't scary at all, but it is an interesting ride through the jungle. The cast is annoying and arrogant, but they're not scary. While "The Green Inferno" isn't a gorefest, it is full of enough blood action to make the film a good watch. "The Green Inferno" has plenty of gruesome violence, it's also surprisingly entertaining. The gore in the film is surprisingly subtle and the actors play up the gore factor with a sense of humor. Despite the violence, the film also has moments of dark comedy and social commentary. The horror in "The Green Inferno" is high in intensity, but the movie is never overdone. Roth takes the usual Italian trope of animal torture and pushes the boundaries of the genre. It is not easy to watch, but it is one of the most chilling horror movies of the year. 134. Till Death (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfmb1-UEpW4 This is a provocative and powerful parable about toxic relationships and trauma. It is both a tribute to the strength of women and a stinging tale about male fragility. In the end, I recommend "Till Death" to all audiences, but be warned that it is not a "must see." The opening scene is a tense one, with Emma waking up handcuffed to Mark. She tries to break free from him, but he doesn't let her. Eventually, he kills himself, destroying his own life and Emma's. The director, Carvey, and Dale create inventive obstacles to help Emma escape the murderer. As a result, the film isn't very exciting, but it's an action-packed plot is worth a watch. Though "Till Death" doesn't stay clever for long, it has moments that make you suspend your disbelief. It is also predictable, and the characters aren't particularly memorable. But Fox's physical performance as a dead-end waitress is an enjoyable surprise. If you're into revenge and snobbishness, this might be a movie for you. This film was directed by S.K. Dale and stars Megan Fox, Eoin Macken, Callan Mulvey, Jack Roth, and Teodora Djuric. Overall, this is a disappointing movie and a shame for Megan Fox. In my opinion, she is miscast as Emma, and she never comes across as broken. 135. No Escape Room (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRbgcWstM-8 No Escape Room is a supernatural horror movie with a twist. The movie begins with a lot of fun and then quickly turns into a terrifying experience. While the premise of the game may sound simple, it's actually filled with supernatural elements and the fear of a creepy ghost haunting the place is palpable. This Netflix original movie follows a divorced dad, teenage daughter, and their car's breakdown. The two decide to head to an escape room to escape from their life. While they are in town, they discover that there are 3 other people living in the house. One of these is in character, and they are always acting creepy and in character. However, while their characters are perfectly believable, their performances are generally just OK. While I liked the ending of the movie, it left many questions unanswered. Why, for example, did the creature growl at Karen? Was it an animal? Was there something in the tea? I also didn't like that the ending was so predictable. The film doesn't have an emotional impact, and it doesn't inspire audiences to stay until the end. Despite the lack of emotional impact, No Escape Room is definitely worth seeing with a group of friends, although it isn't a family-friendly movie. As the story unfolds, we see the father-daughter relationship between Michael and Karen. Michael and Karen don't have the best relationship, and they find a common ground through an escape room. But the difference in age between them is too much for the two to be friends. While Karen is uneasy about the situation, she's determined to make the weekend fun for his daughter. In the meantime, Karen is going to the bathroom. The lights start flickering and a loud noise is heard. 136. His House (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYY0QJhlXjc A married couple from Sudan arrives in England, only to find the house is haunted. Will they be able to escape the horror of the house? The film's brilliant writing and directorial debut will have you glued to the screen until the end. A haunted-house horror film is a genre that can be both entertaining and scary, and His House does not disappoint. This film uses the genre to examine the experiences of refugees, allowing audiences to see the pain and PTSD associated with the experience. The film also addresses the issues of survivor's guilt and the pain of assimilation into European culture, which has long forgotten the history of colonialism. Despite the film's compelling cast, it doesn't connect all the threads to a single message. His House is a deliciously scary film. It also offers a rich character study and incisive critique of the asylum system. Weekes has created a complex and haunting metaphor that captures the traumatic experiences of refugees. While most movies of this genre are generic and tired, Weekes manages to craft an ambitious narrative within an elegant framework. The film moves from realism to surrealism and back again, with a great blend of the two. Hallucinations are also used as a clever window into the character's past. 137. Makevolent (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ3tMPVvE6w While Malevolent has many good ingredients, it is a bit too short. Though it has a decent cast and concept, it struggles to maintain its momentum throughout the movie. A few of the twists are clunky and easy to guess. This leads to some thin scares and a lack of tension, which is a dissatisfying aspect of Malevolent. In addition, Malevolent's plot feels rushed, with little focus on the characters' backstory and cheap scares. While it isn't entirely devoid of promise, it does suffer from too many glaring issues. Despite the lack of effective scares, Malevolent still manages to be a fun ride, with some strong performances in the central roles. Florence Pugh puts in more effort in Malevolent than she gets out of it, and Lloyd-Hughes brings real charisma to his role as the hoaxster's older brother. And Imrie's supporting role is strong, lending the movie gravitax, but it lacks substance. 138. Creep (2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp7tBypjwDo The plot of Creep revolves around Aaron (Brice) recording the last testament of Josef (Duplass), a man who claims to have an inoperable brain cancer. He wants to leave messages for his unborn son. The film was a bit of an experiment, but it shows that using found footage and personal perspective can be effective in a horror film. The movie does a good job of weaving the reason for the film into its plot. Aaron, a professional videographer, enters the plot to record Josef's video diary. His footage ends up being a crucial element in the plot. Even though Aaron is horrified, he keeps the camera running to capture the images. While he may not be evil, Aaron is spooked and is left wondering how he is going to get out of the situation alive. The film's tension rises as Aaron and his mother begin to unravel, and the story continues to unfold. The audience is never sure if he had forgotten to turn the camera off. The film is a good one-two punch of horror and comedy. Creep is a psychological horror film that is based on found footage. The film was directed by Patrick Brice and co-written by Mark Duplass. 139. The Darkness (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDhoqY1grJY Director Greg McLean did a great job adapting a popular novel, but this movie is not quite as successful. While it does make some slick, exciting jump scares, it's largely boring and follows a formula that has already been tried and tested. The Darkness relying heavily on its own internal conflict is a poor choice. The family's psychological problems manifest as a demon in another film, The Babadook. However, in this case, it's the demons who follow them home. Instead of focusing on these underlying flaws, the film focuses on the characters' misunderstandings of each other, and their attempts to conceal those rifts are forced and feel hollow. While "The Darkness" is a decent film, it's also a very flawed film. Its PG-13 rating may make it more appropriate for family viewing, but there are plenty of flaws. For one thing, the script is horrendously written and the story is stupidly mundane. While there are some positive aspects about "The Darkness," there are also a lot of flaws. Despite the fact that it has great performances and some genuinely frightening scenes, the film ultimately falls short of delivering a satisfying horror film. Despite this flaw, "The Darkness" is a fun movie to watch. 140. Girl On The Third Floor (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGXg3-eo8yE The premise of Girl On The Third Floor is a pregnant woman whose mysterious neighbor tries to kill her. Liz and her boyfriend, Cooper, are able to save their daughter and live happily ever after, but their new neighbor is a mystery. Sarah Brooks plays this character, and fans of horror movies will definitely recognize her as a creepy neighbor. If you've seen her work before, you'll probably enjoy this horror movie. In the film, Dan Koch (C.M. Punk) is a disgraced businessman who is trying to fix up an old Chicago house. He is an adulterous husband to a pregnant woman and secret binge-drinker. As he attempts to repair the house, he makes some horrible mistakes. The ensuing nightmare leaves him with a frightened wife and an inability to function. This movie is a stab at haunted house horror. While it offers some promise, it falls flat in other areas. CM Punk stars as Don Koch, an ex-con with a baby on the way. His wife is unaware of his purchase and he has gone into the house ahead of her. Don is racked with personal demons and is a man with a dark past. The film does have moments of suspense, but overall, it does fall short in some areas. Despite its ridiculousness, Girl on The Third Floor succeeds as an amusement movie. Though it is a cliché, it nonetheless manages to be surprisingly compelling. Phil Brooks, as the antagonist, plays the part convincingly, making us forget that it is a horror movie. Its spooky images and creepy atmosphere will scare you into a trance. This film is not a good choice for those looking for a movie about a murder. 141. What Lies Below (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ-rqzhdpIA A socially awkward 16-year-old meets her mother's fiancé, who is beautiful, intelligent, and charming. But what lies below the surface? Is it as scary as it seems? Or will she finally find the love of her life? What Lies Below has a tight 87-minute runtime and fantastic cast. Directed by Braden R. Duemmler, it's an interesting cross between a creature feature and a thriller. The movie also includes a strong performance by its three lead actors, including Ema Horvath. Overall, this is a promising film for fans of creature features and erotic thrillers alike. What Lies Below is a good movie, but there are some problems. While it's an uneven thriller, it does have some impressive moments, including some excellent cinematography and beautiful imagery. And while the film's ending is a little gloomy, it's not entirely unnecessary. The film is a low-budget horror movie. Ema Horvath plays a naive, socially awkward teenager whose new girlfriend is an aquatic geneticist. The movie features a bit of non-graphic sex and some language. It's also rated R. It's definitely not for children, so keep that in mind when watching the movie. 142. The Devil Below (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAh3RYfhYsM The Devil Below is a 2021 horror film directed by Bradley Parker. It stars Alicia Sanz, Adan Canto, Will Patton, Zach Avery, Chinaza Uche, Jonathan Sadowski, and Will Patton. The film revolves around the inhabitants of an abandoned town in the Appalachian Mountains. While "Chernobyl Diaries" was a smash hit, the director Brad Parker tries to replicate that success with "The Devil Below." The Devil Below has Will Patton as the lead character, but he's only on screen for three minutes. The movie feels like a generic monster rehash and is clearly lifted from the SyFy original movie playlist. It's disappointing to see a movie with such poor acting and direction stale. The film's premise is fairly simple: a mining town is being destroyed. A group of scholars attempt to investigate the cause of the fires. But they quickly discover they aren't alone. As a result, the town begins to turn on the outsiders. They are forced to deal with the result of their actions and Arianne's untimely discovery. This film isn't perfect - Rotten Tomatoes didn't rate it, and the audience score is 13%. But it's not a blockbuster movie and should be rated on a different scale. Peter makes the film come alive with his amazing artwork. The disturbing mother creature is creepy. The bipedal creatures feed on human flesh. The only survivor is Ariana. The film has some moments of great tension, but it's not a masterpiece. So, if you want to watch a horror movie with good special effects... this isn't for you. 143. Rattlesnake (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhklHFwmBYw The beginning of Rattlesnake is a bit gloomy, but the film's climax is much better. I was very interested in watching this film, but ultimately, it fell short of my expectations. It isn't a bad movie, but it doesn't have the right qualities to be called a classic. The movie begins with a drone shot of a desert highway and the introduction of Katrina (Ejogo), a single mom with a daughter named Clara (Pratt). The two are playing a game of charades, but their game gets a little out of hand. Clara gets bit by a rattlesnake, but Katrina and her daughter are able to save her daughter, who is in critical condition. As the movie progresses, the two become separated. Fortunately, a mysterious woman (Clarett) appears, whose promise to heal Clara is a key element in the storyline. Carmen Ejogo is a great actress, who is clearly a standout in the role of Katrina. The character of Katrina is a good mother, but she must decide between killing a stranger and her morals. The moral dilemma between Katrina's character and her mother's is what gives Rattlesnake its forward momentum and elevates it above the average horror movie. 144. The Car: Road To Revenge (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3FTwrG5WRA The Car: Road to Revenge is a horror-action flick. The plot centers around a district attorney who is brutally murdered and returns to life as a bloodthirsty car. But is the revenge he seeks really worth it? The Car: Road To Revenge is a reboot of the 1977 cult horror movie. Like its predecessor, the film follows an outcast who is driven by a demon, and he takes revenge on the owner of the car. It's set in a small town where a mysterious black sedan causes havoc and eventually turns out to be the soul of Satan. The plot is a bit ridiculous, but at least the movie has a great poster. The film is a sequel to the well-received 70s horror movie The Car. In this film, a demonic black car terrorizes a small town, leaving a trail of corpses in its wake. In many ways, the film is like JAWS on wheels. While it's fun and creepy, it is not a worthy sequel. The story is a little too far removed from the original. The movie also reveals that the killer vehicle isn't supernatural at all, but an AI-driven killing machine. I'd consider The Car: Road to Revenge an entertaining thriller if its budget was not so high. While I've enjoyed the original film, I didn't find it to be a worthy sequel. I'm glad I waited until it was on Netflix seeing The Car: Road to Revenge. But I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on it. 145. Day Of The Dead: Bloodline (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eSbzBXwtno&t Day Of The Dead: Bloodline is a reimagining of the 1985 zombie classic about two medical students and a creepy stalker. They work for the same university and are in love, but the outbreak threatens to destroy their new home. We get a taste of the horrors that await us. But do we need more zombies to love this movie? Or do we need to be more sympathetic toward the characters? The film begins with an over-the-top scene that sets the mood for the upcoming zombie apocalypse. As a medical student, Zoe, played by Sophie Skelton, finds herself amidst the undead. She tries to help the survivors, including a doctor who has been infected by a virus, but finds herself unable to save anyone. Truthfully, Day of the Dead: Bloodline is a mediocre remake. It offers little in the way of new ideas and isn't worth watching unless you're a die-hard fan of the original. However, there are some aspects that make it worth a try, including gory violence, a rape attempt, and some teasing near-nudity. In addition to the predictable plot and character development, the plot is clumsy. While Zoe is the main character, she is essentially a cipher for the villains. A high-strung commander is clearly the villain, trying to put an end to the movie's irrational plans. The "crazy" military guy is completely right about everything, and the heroine scientist causes trouble. 146. 1 BR (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1TCaha4zbk Whether you want to see a genuinely gripping film, or if you're more interested in avoiding the horrors of cults, it's important to know what to expect from 1 BR. In a way, it's a classic story of cults: she's taken in by a mysterious organization, but she doesn't know it, and it's her condition that makes her susceptible to its demands. But while this film isn't a cult, it's still a psychological thriller with a surprisingly strong message about cults. The film starts out slowly, with generic themes and philosophical overtones. However, once the film begins to get nasty, it doesn't hesitate to show the ugliest side of humanity. The violence is handled with impersonal verve, but not to the level of other horror films. This cynicism only serves to further the film's agenda. As a result, 1BR is a disappointingly insipid and unfunny exploitation. Despite being an incredibly clever horror-thriller, David Marmor's 1BR fails to capitalize on its genre conventions. Despite its cleverness, the film's script never breaks from its preposterous tone. In fact, 1BR never quite reaches the levels of Texas Chain Saw. But, it still manages to provide solid creeps. 147. Gantz:O (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r37ARGRJC-k If you haven't seen Gantz:O yet, you're in for a treat. This Japanese sci-fi action film is filled with style and awesome action sequences. Despite its action-packed style, this film isn't subtle at all. Its action sequences are over-the-top, showcasing a group of fit humans in tight suits fighting a bunch of monsters. Though it doesn't aim high, the movie is still an awesome action film. The film is a great choice for fans of the Gantz franchise, but it's definitely not a good choice for those unfamiliar with the characters. There's little depth to the story, and the movie lacks explanation. The action-packed scenes and standard action-movie musical score make the film more exciting than it should be. And while it has a good cast, it suffers from choppy editing at times. This action movie aims to make people think about their lives and their choices. It does so by introducing new characters and a surprisingly strong female lead. The movie's storyline is based on a boy-meets-girl plot line, but it does not rely on the cliché "boy wins the afterlife game." 148. The Day Of The Lord (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkSskibuEkU Is The Day Of The Lord really a horror film? Well, in my opinion, it's not. I'll get to that in a moment. This movie is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it is worth checking out if you're curious about the different horror movies on Netflix. The plot revolves around a Spanish priest (Julia Fabregas), who is accused of killing a child in an exorcism. Despite his fear of doing the same thing again, he accepts the mission, although he warns Sebas that it will be a painful experience for him and for his daughter. While the film relies heavily on shock, it doesn't do anything to reinvent the sub-genre, but it doesn't lack for entertainment value. Exorcism movies are a constant staple in the horror genre, so it's no surprise that some fans are always up for another. But while there are plenty of American-made exorcism flicks, I'd rather watch a Mexican horror movie that was released last Halloween. A lot of foreign movies provide original and fresh takes on a done-to-death theme. The Day Of The Lord is a Christian horror-thriller-drama. It explores ideas about free will and psychosis, as well as God. Though the movie is based on a Christian mythology, it's crafted so that everyone can enjoy it. 149. 122 (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfFrVE8RFKY Whether you're a die-hard fan of Egyptian films or not, 122 may be the movie for you. This Egyptian thriller is a compelling watch for moviegoers who enjoy a bit of suspense. It tells the story of Nasr and Umnia, two Egyptians who eloped so they could have a proper wedding. Unfortunately for Nasr and Umnia, however, they never intended to be married and have become pregnant - a scandal in Egypt. Although "122" is an Egyptian horror film with a small budget, the plot is essentially the same as most other films, and it dips into cliche territory with several of its elements. The main plot is the story of a young couple who are trapped in a house near a highway, and there are plenty of climactic moments and dramatic layers to be found in "122,". The film quickly sheds its cliched overarching tone and quickly loses interest. Ultimately, this is a cat-and-mouse thriller with some overly dramatic music. For fans of Anthony, this is a decent film, but it won't win any Oscars. 150. Choose Or Die (2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vUQYzZ_UZc Despite its futuristic tendencies and mysticism, Choose Or Die lurches along with a lackluster plot and plodding pace. Many levels of the story are wrapped up without much buildup, and the character development feels weak compared to its acting performances. Even Isaac's one-note character comes off as forced and uncomplicated, which makes it difficult to invest in his plight. The film has some good elements, but it ultimately falls short of achieving its goals. The film begins with a creepy subplot, but the film's plot soon starts to unravel into laughable exposition. Although Toby Meakins wrestles with some good ideas early on, he loses his way and becomes distracted by the storyline. That's not to say that Choose Or Die is a bad movie - it's just not very good. Despite its lackluster plot, Choose Or Die is a passable horror film. It stars Asa Butterfield, a breakout star from Netflix's Sex Education. The film is contemporary in setting but bakes it in 80s nostalgia, similar to the show Stranger Things. A cursed video game is at the core of the film, and the movie is a close cousin to the Black Mirror blockbuster Bandersnatch. Unfortunately, "Choose Or Die" is one of the many movies that falls into this category. While it may be fun to imagine a world where everyone lives in a dystopian society, the plot is clunky and boring. The gloomy atmosphere and lack of character development are enough to dampen the enjoyment factor. 151. Bulbbul (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MGReT9-cAg Anvita Dutt's debut feature is set in late nineteenth-century Bengal. The film is centered around Bulbbul, a free-spirited child bride with a rebellious spirit. She once enjoyed climbing trees and plucking raw mangoes in her'maayka' (hand-basket). But as she grows up and learns to accept her marriage to Indranil, she must learn to be an obedient wife. The couple lives in a huge haveli, and Indranil has a mentally challenged twin brother named Mahendra. The film's engrossing storyline and blending of fairytale and dark realism make for an engaging watch. The movie's cinematography, coloring, and music are all breathtaking. While the story is dark and gritty, it is also very believable. The demon-witch and the rape are both realistic and stylishly portrayed. Bulbbul is a unique movie and deserves to be seen as one. Although Bulbbul lacks a thrilling ending, it still has some impressive moments. The acting and cinematography are excellent, and Tripti Dimri is fantastic as the titular character. The film is full of great performances, including Tripti Dimri's powerful performance as a powerful and sensitive young woman. The music and visuals are also impressive. Even if the film is not as scary as its trailer may suggest, the movie has enough to keep the audience invested. 152. Sabrina (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL4_hLGajaE In a new film, Sabrina introduces a new culture to the haunted doll story. Moreover, the story of Sabrina combines two themes: grief and possession. Hence, the film features the creepiest doll you've ever seen. While the film's first act is fast-paced and builds up tension, it fails to sustain that momentum and seems to shift tone every 20 minutes. This results in a movie that's not very believable, especially when you think about the unoriginality of the plot and cliches. The movie opens with a creepy man searching for his wife. He is greeted by his wife, Maira, suspended in mid-air outside of the house. When he discovers her, she tries to communicate with her dead mother, but she's unable to do so. In fact, she's brought back an evil spirit from the Sabrina doll, which she plays with. Afterwards, Maira's father Aiden (Christian Sugiono) is trying to get her daughter a new doll, which has the power to summon the spirit of Sabrina. She's also trying to communicate with her dead mother, who's living in another world, by playing with her doll. The doll's power makes her believe that her real mother is returning, but the evil spirit doesn't want to give her up. 153. Kuntilanak (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ilPSuen3KI This Indonesian supernatural horror film stars Sandrinna Michelle, Fero Walandouw, and Aurelie Moeremans. A cursed mirror is the focal point of the movie. The cursed mirror is seen to have a very strong effect on its inhabitants. In addition, the haunted house itself looks very real - the cursed mirror looks like a face in an antique mirror. The cursed mirror also hints at a possible evil entity that may haunt the house. As the title suggests, the film's premise is based on a myth that the Plumeria flower, originally from Mesoamerica, provides shelter for demons and ghosts. Because of this association, the flower is often placed in graveyards. The movie's plot is not as compelling as its title would imply, but it does contain creepy elements that will appeal to horror fans. While there are many positives in Kuntilanak, the film's flaws are worth mentioning. The premise for the film is a spooky tale of four kids who explore a haunted house. The kids only know about Kuntilanak through books, but they want their mother to come home. Unfortunately, their efforts are in vain. The film's stale plot is uninspiring, and there are too many moments where you want to run out of steam. 154. The Doll 2 (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC9O7zBzQWA The Doll 2 follows the formula for a classic horror sequel: It picks up where the first film leaves off. There are no new characters, no different story, and no new antagonist. It's a standard horror sequel - but overall I feel it's a disappointing one. Doll 2's plot is predictable, and the final act is far too long. Though 'Doll 2' doesn't break any new ground, it succeeds in driving guilt-ridden drama into full-frontal horror. There's a chance of a bloodfest, and the film's action sequences are genuinely terrifying. But the film's flaws are so big that it ultimately drags down the movie's enjoyment. However, if you enjoyed the first movie, you'll probably love this one. The Doll 2 follows the same premise, except that this time, a woman's spirit is trapped in a life she does not recognize. She finds the deceased daughter's doll in a cobwebbed room, and realizes that it's the doll she liked. The doll has ventriloquist puppet eyes and represents her dead daughter. An off-putting servant girl is also part of the doll household. 155. The 8th Night (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYu4-XYNss The 8th Night is a dystopian movie about a battle between two demonic beings. They tormented mankind 2000 years ago but were ultimately freed after a Buddha intervened. Buddha locked them away in inhospitable places, but he did not kill them. The red being could only reunite with its counterpart if it met certain conditions, which include possessing seven weak humans for seven days and matching other conditions. While the story may be complex, the film still manages to keep the audience's attention. The 8th Night consists of four events and subplots but these are barely discernible from each other. Ultimately, the film's director and editor reworked the script in order to add some variety, but the result is a whirlwind of a ride. However, if you're looking for a scary movie with a lot of jumps and big scares, The 8th Night is not the film for you. Despite its unusual plot, The 8th Night is a fun and entertaining horror movie. Although it is based on real-life events, there's also a sense of mystery about the spirit world and its creatures. A little bit of a twist will definitely get your heart pumping. If you're looking for a great movie for your next Halloween, you're sure to love this one. This film is a bit of a slog and it does move a bit slow, but the climax is well worth the wait. It has a good emotional arc and is worth seeing if you enjoy horror movies. 156. Inhuman Kiss (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBEz-cJSGxo Based on the Krasue legend, the film follows a flying female head and its relationship with a village nurse named Sai. It's a different type of film than most but still holds the same thrills. This new horror film focuses on the Krasue mythological monster that lives in rural Thailand. The movie is full of blood, gore, and good CGI. The setting of the film is also beautiful, with great shots of the countryside. Overall, this is a fun and unique horror experience. If you enjoy this genre, give Inhuman Kiss a try. It will surprise you! Inhuman Kiss is a fusion of horror and romance. The plot is complex, and ambiguous, but its underlying message transcends human and physicality. It pays off in fantasy-movie tropes, from folklore monsters to pyrotechnic battles to human heads coming off bodies. But despite being an ambitious production, Inhuman Kiss is a solid thriller that has a definite place in the horror genre. 157. The Bridge Curse (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6my9V46F5s The Bridge Curse is a sci-fi horror movie about a bridge that is haunted by a ghost that keeps one person alive and binds a group of people to bring more people to die every leap year. The film centers on a journalist who is working to unravel the mystery of the haunted bridge. The ghost, who goes by the name Ceon, bought the bridge and has now taken the team to investigate. Each leap year, he comes back to the journalist's office to make a deal to bring more people to die. The Bridge Curse owes its inspiration to a long list of horror movies and urban legends. However, it fails to approach the level of being genuinely frightening. This movie tries hard but never really gets close to frightening us. The locations and effects are decent, though. The movie is not without its issues, though. Its back and forth plot is rather confusing. You need to focus on the action to understand what's happening. If you don't, you will find yourself confused by the ending. The background story of the female ghost is also not clear enough. Ultimately, the movie makes you curious, but you don't want to see a sequel. 158. Hospital (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUNfUhPWn_k If you're not familiar with this Chinese horror film, you're in for a treat. It centers on a group of people trying to communicate with their loved ones while staying in an abandoned hospital in Tainan. As it turns out, these people are plagued by supernatural phenomena. While the actors are competent, the acting is far from perfect. The actress who plays Su Xiaolin is particularly good. Despite being a little overly sensitive, the movie maintains a breezy pace and lacks the glitz and glamour of more popular horror films. The cast is excellent and the film is well-directed by Jiang Wen. But the film is not for everyone. Although it has a solid score of 3.0 on IMDB it certainly isn't for everyone. For those who are not fans of horror movies, this one might not be for them. However, if you want to see a film that is both entertaining and scary, you may want to try this movie out. 159. The Doll (2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VGbntXd6Fw The Doll features a possessed doll. The actors in The Doll are Shandy Aulia (anya), Denny Sumargo (Daniel), Sara Wijayanto(Laras), and Vitta Mariana Barrazza(Niken). There are some similarities, too. Both movies feature a cast of Indonesian actors and have great storylines. The Doll is directed by Rocky Soraya and written by Riheam Junianti. It is based on the idea that a doll comes into a person's life through a job and is then consumed by supernatural forces. The Doll is a horror film inspired by the supernatural world and set in Indonesia. The film revolves around a creepy doll and her gruesome past. This Indonesian film copies both Annabelle (2014) and The Conjuring (2013). But it also offers its own distinct voice, resulting in a chilling paranormal atmosphere. The movie starts out a little messy, but it quickly goes into a climax with a big twist and a gory climax. The doll has similar gifts to Lorraine Warren, but she is still her own person. When her son brings home a vintage doll, they begin to experience unexplained events. When the doll decides to kill Daniel, they must fight against the doll to prevent her from exacting revenge. Ultimately, the entire film makes a great watch. 160. The 3rd Eye (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y63y5hwXBvo The 3rd Eye is an Indonesian horror movie about a girl who has the power to see spirits. She is tormented by a spirit in her family's old home after her parents die. This film has an excellent lead, a solid story, and some genuinely creepy moments. Despite its foreign roots, this film is not a great example of Asian horror. It relies heavily on make-up and practical effects. Bloody faces, and ripped clothes serve as scare tactics, but they're not terribly effective. The story is based on the Hindu mythology concept of the 'third eye'. The third eye is a psychic sense, similar to The Sixth Sense, which can help you experience enlightenment and other supernatural things. The movie is set in an orphanage, which explains why the power is so mysterious. The 3rd Eye is often a source of a person's ability to see and hear spirits. Despite its intriguing concept, The 3rd Eye is a cliched and unoriginal horror film. The movie is poorly written, features mediocre acting, and relies too heavily on jump scares. While it is competent and has a decent cast, 3rd Eye is not worth seeing if you're not a fan of Eastern horror. 161. Goedam (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUW-DHT6mys While Goedam is largely aimed at young audiences, the film is definitely not for the entire family. Although some scenes are a little gory, the film's overall tone is not gruesome. It's fun and the violence is well-executed. While it may not reach the high standards of Love, Death, and Robots, it should still be a good choice for horror fans who enjoy a good short film. The Goedam anthology series combines several Korean horror films into one. Many of the episodes are condensed versions of popular Korean horror movies. This helps to keep the pace fast and exciting. This movie is a good way to start watching Korean films. You'll be surprised how good they are. Goedam is an excellent way to experience Korean horror in a new way. 162. Pagpag: Nine Lives (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkAEzQ33hGQ In this film, a recently-deceased man's ghost is hunting nine people. The nine people who attended the wake of this man were completely unaware of important superstitions, which prompted the spirit to hunt them. What follows is the story of the nine people's escapades and their eventual deaths. In a tense and suspenseful plot, the movie is sure to leave you with a full stomach. This joint-production between Star Cinema and Regal Entertainment stars Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. In addition to Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, Pagpag: Nine Lives is a psychological thriller that is sure to get you excited. This supernatural horror film takes the Filipino superstitions and tradition to new heights. Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla play two very different characters and have good chemistry together. The supporting cast is also enjoyable. The film is recommended for those who like horror. If you've never seen the film before, it's certainly worth a watch! If you're into superstitions, you'll enjoy this film as well. In a classic Filipino tradition, the dead are believed to visit the wake of the living. However, many Filipinos do not return home directly after visiting a wake. The practice of pagpag prevents evil spirits from making their way to the house. Leni, who runs the Heavenly Touch Funeral Parlor, is responsible for bringing her adopted brother MacMac home to be with her. This paves the way for some of the movie's most memorable moments. 163. Ghost Lab (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9G-g5PhJE While the first third of Ghost Lab is light and entertaining, it soon turns into something much eerier. While the film is not particularly well made, it is consistently unpredictable and oddly compelling. This film is best enjoyed once it finds its rhythm. After all, how many films have you seen with a ghost at the end? Wee and Arjong are best friends who often spar, but they have different ideologies. While Arjong believes in ghosts, Wee doesn't. Nevertheless, they are thrown together when they have a shared experience with a ghost. While there are positive aspects to Ghost Lab, it has major problems elsewhere. As a genre effort, it falls somewhere in between. While it is undoubtedly entertaining, it's not a must-see for fans of Asian horror movies. Instead, this movie is aimed at less demanding ghost-movie fans and undemanding Asian horror fans. This is an unusual film about a paranormal investigation. There's plenty of thrills and suspense, but the experiments are unethical and not terribly credible. The movie's most memorable scene is the first paranormal sighting. It's so bizarre, it's impossible for the characters to contain their excitement. However, after the ghost disappears, they're more scared of it than when it was there. There are even a couple of tears-worthy conversations, which are reminiscent of a real ghost or two. 164. Munafik 2 (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l_vAO5e8fQ This film has a visually impressive cinematography, but it has a few flaws that make it unwatchable. Director Syamsul Yusof's vision for the Munafik franchise is clear, but the film relies on a lot of cheap tricks to achieve this. It is far from the best representation of the filmmaker's tatalents and doesn't whet our appetites for a potential third film. This sequel picks up years after the first film, and we see the struggles of Ustaz Adam in a small village, dealing with a band of heretics led by Abuja. This time, we learn about the death of his son and wife, which are antagonistic elements of the first movie. Ultimately, it is up to Adam to protect the woman he loves, while also protecting her family. The second film in the series continues the story of Munafik, which was released in 2011. The cast includes Maya Karin, Nasir Bilal Khan, and Fizz Fairuz. The second film focuses on a single mother, Sakinah, who is plagued by an evil spirit linked to Abuja. Adam must take up an unsettling rescue mission to save her, but in the process, he becomes trapped in the village. Despite the storyline, the film is filled with many memorable characters. The first movie focused on Adam's relationship with his mother and his wife. Throughout the film, he falls deeply in love with Maria, and the story follows Adam's journey to finding his true wife. 165. The 3rd Eye 2 (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y63y5hwXBvo The 3rd Eye 2 is an Indonesian horror sequel to the previous year's hit The 3rd Eye. Written and directed by Rocky Soraya, the film features Jessica Mila, Nabilah Ratna Ayu Azalia, and Sophia Latjuba. The movie premiered on Netflix on January 17th. Despite its mediocre quality, it is still worth a watch. The 3rd Eye 2 is a Netflix Original Horror Movie. It stars Jessica Mila and Nabilah Ratna Ayu Azalia as sisters with a dark family secret. The sisters move back into their childhood home after their parents die. When they discover that their parents have been killed, they decide to leave their lives behind and move back to their childhood home. As they do so, they begin working at a halfway house where they meet a young woman with inward eyes. The film maintains its theme of revenge and gradually unravels the mystery behind the haunting. The film makes good use of jump scares, which are abrupt changes in scene punctuated by loud blasts of suspenseful music. However, this constant feeling of urgency becomes tiring very quickly. Ultimately, the movie lacks a build-up that would make it stand out from other horror movies. It also has a short runtime compared to its predecessor, but it packs more horror than all of the Conjuring movies combined. 166. Suzzanna: Buried Alive (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m5yC1BPNpw Although this 125-minute horror film is not overly spooky, it is filled with enough twists and turns to keep it entertaining. Though it is produced with Netflix-funded budget, the movie still possesses some cheesy and over-the-top elements. For example, the film's main character has a distorted face, and there is a creepy skeleton in the cemetery. However, while the movie is entertaining, it is not very meaningful. In the beginning, Suzzanna is pregnant and is left buried alive. A robbery goes wrong, and Suzzanna's body is discovered in the grave. A group of disgruntled factory workers plan to rob her boss while he is away. The plan is foiled when Suzzanna goes to the movies. However, she arrives home early because of pregnancy-induced nausea. She is mistakenly shot, and buried alive, but her ghostly form haunts them for the rest of her life. Suzzanna: Buried Alive is set in the 80s. It tries to tap into the horror film nostalgia of the previous decades. However, this movie doesn't deliver the thrills that were so prevalent in the earlier movies. Despite its overacting and slapstick humor, the film is not a very frightening movie. If you're a fan of Indonesian films, you'll likely enjoy it more than a general audience. While the story is quite predictable, the cast and director did a good job in capturing the essence of the original series. Suzzanna's appearances among the villagers are surprisingly adorable, and the performances by Luna Maya and Alex Abbad are both good. 167. U-turn (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSdqbekQDDs The plot involves an intern working at a prestigious newspaper, and the main character, Rachna, wants to control her own destiny. Her mother however, wants her to marry. But Rachna has a difficult time figuring out how to accomplish this. The storyline is interesting. We learn about a dead family that is a target of a U-turn, and the daughter decides to go into journalism. But the film quickly switches into thriller mode, as the auto driver makes an unsettling discovery that will change the lives of everyone involved. This is a compelling movie, but it's worth only a viewing if you're looking for a gripping, suspense-filled thriller. While the plot itself is interesting, there are several elements that make it predictable. The film's main theme is revenge and it deals with it innovatively. The movie is heavily reliant on its lead characters, particularly Samantha's role as Rachana. She plays a subtle reporter who doesn't want to get caught, but finds herself being pursued by her crush. And when a string of murders occurs at a nearby police station, Rachna becomes suspect. 168. Revenge Of The Pontianak (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASZjoRxIB80 The first act of Revenge of the Pontianak brings a big twist in its story. A Pontianak enacts revenge on a newly married couple, forcing them down a path of witchcraft and betrayal. As their marital bliss is interrupted by a string of odd occurrences, their world turns dark and paranoid. This movie is a worthy watch for fans of horror and fantasy films, but if you're not familiar with it, read on to learn what makes the film so compelling. The film's cinematography is superb. It takes advantage of the natural beauty of Malaysia to produce tense and creepy scenes. It also sets up jumpscares with its rich color palette. Although there are a few moments where the movie's tense atmosphere is too much, overall it's an excellent horror film. The movie has been praised for its strong visuals, as well as its excellent cast and strong storyline. In Singapore, the Pontianak is a supernatural creature that haunts the country. Revenge of the Pontianak is a fantastic chance to see one of these creatures on the big screen. This horror movie is set in 1960s Malaysia and centers around a newlywed couple. The characters experience strange occurrences and discover that skeletons in their closets are coming back to haunt them. Their family's secrets can tear a family apart. The plot is incredibly predictable, and clichéd, but the execution is good and the cinematography and production values are stunning. There is a supernatural force at work, but it's too subtle to make it feel real. It could be a spooky ghoul or an unlucky human. But, the ghoulishness of this phantom would make the movie much better if the vengeful spirit was rewarded with justice. 169. The Rope Curse 2 (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLmt7x1arYA The Rope Curse 2 follows a priest and his psychic assistant on their journey to purify a place. They must do so in order to prevent a demon from destroying the village. As the plot thickens and the tension grows, the team must determine if they can control what is coming next. The Rope Curse 2 is another Taiwanese supernatural horror film. It's directed by Shih-Han Liao and stars Kang-sheng Lee, Wilson Hsu, and Vera Chen. The movie follows a conflicted Taoist priest who seeks to rid his town of a demonic spirit called "Yi-A-Gu," a demon that possesses a young girl. While the first movie focuses on the young girl Jia-min, The Rope Curse 2 follows an exorcist named Huo-ge. Huo-ge is a washed-up exorcist whose master died trying to undo a curse. Huo-ge reluctantly agrees to help Jia-min save her aunt. The premise of the movie is interesting but is far from the best horror movie on this list. 170. Boomika (2021) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOPFqO8jIzA The movie makes many smart decisions, but the final outcome is less than satisfactory. CGI dogs and a selfish a**hole make the ending even more unappealing, but there is still a point to the story. The film also has a poor characterization of Aditi. The main cast does an adequate job, but the plot is inconsistent. I would give the Boomika movie a C. In a nutshell, Boomika is a horror film directed by Rathindran R. Prasad. The film follows four friends who move into an abandoned school building. As they get to know each other, they argue about the ethics of building the residential complex. Soon, they begin to get hints from the dead friend of one of their group. In a twist that turns out to be more shocking than they imagined, the characters discover that they are not alone. This OTT film is not as original as some of the other movies in the genre. It does offer an interesting premise and is an absorbing film, but it lacks a solid back story. However, the message of the movie is powerful, so even if you're not a horror fan, Boomika is worth a watch. to go watch the film. The movie has some excellent performances by Prasanna Balachandran and Srija Priyadharshini. In the role of the father of the daughter, Ganesan is played by Prasanna Balachandran. In a climax, Samyuktha finds a painting of "Boomika" and utters "Thank You" to her dead friend. 171. Ghost Stories (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsab-HJ7kqc Ghost Stories is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2020, but it's not without its flaws. The film's tonality is inconsistent and visuals are pristine, but it's not without its flaws. The spooky film is filled with adolescent characters, creaking doors, whispering, and people that suddenly appear from behind. The film's tone is fearless, ambitious, and naive, but sadly, it does not succeed in scaring kids. While the film has some similarities with Eraserhead, mother!, and the 1986 remake of The Fly, it also shares the same kind of sense of humor. The film's leading lady, Dhulipala, gives a completely committed performance in the role of an upcoming mother, and the screenplay is strong, allowing her to do so. Neha's performance is also impressive, expressing horror in crowspeak. Unfortunately, the film isn't worth seeing for its premise alone. Akhtar's film opens with an eerie, creepy short segment that introduces the general theme. Janhvi Kapoor, a young nurse, cares for a woman suffering from dementia. The two are assigned to care for her elderly patient, who is suffering from dementia. As the story unfolds, she starts to hear strange noises in the hallway. Her job becomes more dangerous than she bargained for, and the two begin to rekindle their love. The movie is a definite watch for horror fans, but it may not be for everyone. 172. The Binding (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIY_YLq1tAc The film takes place in a small Italian town, and is directed by Domenico Emanuele de Feudis. It stars Riccardo Scamarcio, Michael C. Pizzuto, and Federica Rosellini. The film is about a woman who is fighting against a malevolent curse. The Binding is a supernatural thriller based on Italian superstitions. It follows the usual structure of a horror film - a large mansion, creepy old house, and creepy rituals. It's a social statement, too, because one character gets bitten by a tarantula whose bite is lanced and subsequently launches a Vesuvius of lava. Another character is held down by a knife in a ritual that is a surprisingly disturbing part of the film. "The Binding" is a dark and disturbing thriller that deals with family relationships. It is an Italian production with a cast of Federica Rosellini, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Mia Maestro. The plot follows two sisters (Sofia and Emma) as they visit Sofia's ancestral home. The movie relies on horror movie tropes and atmosphere to keep the viewer engaged. While the film uses some of these elements in a frightening way, The Binding ultimately lacks a meaningful tragedy. 173. Kaali Khuhi (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kji5F02FemY If you have ever seen a Bollywood film, you have probably heard of Kaali Khuhi, which is subtitled The Black Well. The well is believed to be home to evil spirits, and a naive villager accidentally cracks the lid of the well, allowing these spirits to enter the village. The villagers are not happy about this, but one old woman (Sanjeeda Sheikh) welcomes the girl, who is drenched, thinking that she has lost her way. This film is about the macabre practices of patriarchal societies in India, and will undoubtedly shock viewers. The film takes a dark, gloomy tack to explore the issue of female infanticide, but it's also a horror movie. The film's plot revolves around two young girls, who are taken to a village where the mothers of babies are ritually killed. The film is directed by Shabana Azmi, whose previous works include Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and Gunjan Saxena. Riva Arora has the tough task of carrying the film, while Hetvi Bhanushali supports her. Other actors, such as Sanjeeda Sheikh and Leela Samson, don't get much to do in the film. Overall, Kaali Khuhi is a disappointingly generic Bollywood film. 174. The Figurine (Araromire) (2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPa9aRwdzKs This Nigerian drama is the Western Japan Premiere of the Nollywood film "The Figurine." The story revolves around three friends who discover a mysterious figurine, known as "The Araromire," found in an abandoned shrine. This statue is said to grant seven years of good luck. The film is a significant improvement over other Nigerian movies. Before this film, Ghanaian movies were destroying Nollywood. The film's promising director and producer, Kunle Afolayan, is responsible for a great job. Still, this is not the movie for everyone. If you're looking for a horror movie without too much gore, avoid this one. The film starts off with a flashback. A man named Femi arrives at Sola's apartment. He introduces Femi to Linda, a fashion designer, but she doesn't care for him. Then, Femi confronts Linda. The two women get into a fight over the figurine, and Femi ends up killing Linda. They then dump the body in the lagoon. The film's intro is great. It explains the legend behind the Araromire sculpture. Afterward, the protagonists get a taste of the movie's plot. The flashbacks feature great picture quality. The movie's set is like a history professor's office. Moreover, the film includes appropriate props to enhance the scenes. However, despite all these positives, The Figurine Araromire isn't one of the best movies in this genre. 175. Aaviri (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh4acilsrvA Ravi Babu has returned to the horror genre with his latest thriller, Aaviri. The movie centers on Rajkumar Rao's daughter Munni (Neha Chauhan), who experiences supernatural phenomena in the house she lives in. Later, she goes missing. Aaviri follows the life of a young girl who develops a strong bond with a spirit. Unfortunately, the spirit gets the better of her and she disappears. During her journey, she also makes friends with a ghost who tries to destroy her home. The film has a decent climax, but the emotional scenes are very artificial. Aaviri's production values are solid, and the BGM is better than the songs. The visuals are good, but the editing is sub-par. While Aaviri focuses on a ghost, its plot is also a lesson on the use of CCTV cameras. Amrapali is placed under surveillance by CCTV cameras, but the parents do not look at the footage. Instead, a professor (Shah Rukh Khan) who looks like a gangster needs to view the footage in order to help the girl escape. While this idea might work well for a thriller, Aaviri fails miserably at it. 176. Ragini MMS (2011) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffbo2bsLOQ This movie review will provide you with a comprehensive look at the film Ragini MMS, a hybrid of fact and fiction, starring the popular actress and producer of Love Sex Aur Dhokha. The movie follows the story of Ragini, who is imprisoned by her boyfriend for a week, and whose voyeuristic fantasies are interrupted by mysterious paranormal influences. While you are enjoying the film's thrills and chills, there are a couple of areas in which this movie falls short. Uday is a prick who pressures Ragini to perform at his bidding. He acts like an entitled jerk and alienates everyone in the process. In one scene, he slaps Ragini twice in the face before stabbing himself in the neck with a metal object. The movie's ending leaves much to the imagination. While the film has a strong female lead and very memorable moments, it also has some moments where you won't believe it's a Bollywood movie. Another highlight of Ragini MMS is the excellent performances of the lead actors. Raj Kumar Yadav and Kainaz are excellent in their respective roles, and both actors have impressive screen presence. While some scenes may seem too over the top, the performances are surprisingly good. Kainaz's role is particularly strong as a newcomer to the Bollywood scene. 177. Ragini MMS 2 (2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D5e4n7XwCk If you're looking for a great horror movie, then Ragini MMS 2 may be the film for you. This film follows a fictionalized version of the original story, as Leone tries to escape the madness of the house. Like the original, Ragini MMS 2 borrows heavily from The Blair Witch Project, while straying further from the original plot. The film's tone is almost completely opposite from the original movie, and its use of sound effects is overly distracting. After the events of Ragini MMS, Sunny is unable to sleep. She starts to see strange things, and the real Ragini ends up in a mental asylum. However, when Sunny arrives at the insane asylum, she finds out that she is haunted. The haunting is real, and Sunny is not the only one who begins to experience bizarre events. Fortunately, she is able to call a psychiatrist, Dr. Meera Dutta, who investigates the haunting. While the erotica, the songs, and the Chaar botal vodka all add to the charm of this horror movie, the script doesn't make much sense. The climax doesn't make much sense and neither does the treatment. Despite its cliches, Ragini MMS 2 is a fun, enjoyable film. 178. Ludo (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRCOFVj-gck In this sexy horror film, four horny teenagers - Babai, Pele, Ria, and Payal - attempt to survive after dark in a shopping mall. They are interrupted by an elderly couple who have come to ask for some water. They begin playing the game of Ludo, which results in the death of one of the members of the group. In this twisted tale of lust and immortality, each character's desperation is tested to the extreme. The story follows the four teenagers as they attempt to find the perfect place to get laid, despite being in a modern-day India. As they ride mopeds and listen to rock music, they end up getting harassed by local police and turning down hotel reservations. After the group ends up in a deserted shopping mall, they are interrupted by a shambolic couple who entice them into an awkward game of Ludo. The movie itself is a fun ride, but it lacks a cohesive tone. While the performances are good, the editing is uneven and the gore is plentiful. Some parts of the film are visually stunning while others are bland and generic. Despite these shortcomings, the film is still a fun and entertaining horror flick. 179. Kaal (2005) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQf_nbORaZ0 This Kaal movie review will give you the lowdown on this Bollywood horror flick, directed by Soham Shah. The movie follows a group of wildlife experts as they attempt to gather information on a mysterious man-eating tiger. But what do these wildlife experts expect? It's not the thrills that the film promises. Instead, Kaal is shrill and textbook spooky. This Indian supernatural horror film is written and directed by Soham Shah, and it was released on 29 April 2005. It stars Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, Esha Deol, and John Abraham. The film was an average box-office hit, but it also sends an important message about the preservation of wildlife in India. However, if you're looking for a movie to watch with your family, this might not be the one for you. This is a remake of Soham Varma's 2001 film. The film was produced by Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The cast of Kaal is infected with acting mediocrity. The majority of them fail to rise to the level of their talented co-stars. Thankfully, Kaali's ghost isn't the only one to die in this film. 180. Agyaat (2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufeMjWuNc48 If you like sci-fi thrillers, then you'll love Agyaat. This film explores mankind's survival hunch and how far it can go. It is an entertaining thriller that's sure to frighten you. The film starts with an introductory song, which is a bit jarring, but once the movie has settled down it roars ahead. Then, the movie goes flat until the second half. The plotline is predictable, which leaves the ending a little rushed. As a result, the film doesn't live up to the high standards we've come to expect from a Ram Gopal Verma film. Ultimately, it's a disappointment. If you're looking for a good Ram Gopal Verma movie, look elsewhere. A movie reviewer who has seen Agyaat is likely to agree with the majority of those who say the film is not scary. While it does have some interesting aspects, it fails to meet its goal. The characters are mostly stereotyped, and the script is rife with cliches about crew and film. However, there are some moments of great suspense that will make you shiver with dread. 181. Rakkhosh (2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-CCukk0l-U A recent Marathi film, Rakkhosh, explores the life and beliefs of a schizophrenic man. It is set in a mental asylum, where 2000 patients and 40 workers work. The story centers on the central character's exposure to the outside world. Rakkhosh, or the demon, is the cause of several mysterious disappearances. To make this story more compelling, a group of psychiatrists enlist the help of a group of volunteers to investigate these cases. Filmmakers Abhijit Kokate and Ashish Vaidya have captured a dark atmosphere with their work. The film's production designer, Rajesh Choudhary, helped create the mental asylum, giving it an almost realistic appearance while using a mythological twist. RAKKHOSH is a strong and intense movie with a lot to say about humanity and sin. The film's strong performances are a major highlight. Despite its many flaws, Rakkhosh is a rewarding movie that manages to turn cinematic experimentation into a compelling narrative device. The film is not without its share of uncomfortable moments, but it has many layers of story. Ultimately, Rakkhosh is an excellent debut film for Bollywood and is a worthy addition to the horror genre. 182. Pizza (2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5GtgmlWTXE An interesting concept from Akshay Akkineni, I was curious to see his latest feature film, Pizza. It looks like an intriguing concept but the film's pacing is a little slow at first. In fact, it starts slow and gets better as it goes, but its build up and tension aren't as well-developed as they could have been. Ultimately, Pizza is an intriguing thriller that should please fans of a good thriller but isn't quite what I was expecting. First of all, the script is decent for a change. This movie's concept is a good one. A pizza delivery boy is married to a writer who insists that he experience a moment of fear. Unfortunately, this doesn't work out well for her. When he goes to deliver a pizza, he gets trapped in a haunted house. The result? A bad ending. While it's certainly a nice idea, Pizza falls short of meeting those expectations. This film relies heavily on atmospheric devices, including a lot of 'ghost-y' stuff. Throughout the movie, there are plenty of eerie scenes, and the background score is a great help in creating a creepy atmosphere. In addition, the movie is full of laughs, thanks to the performances of Rajesh Sharma as the superstitious boss and D Santosh as the bumbling colleagues. 183. Creep 2 (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_0sBk50Qr0 After the success of the first Creep movie, Mark Duplass has returned to make a sequel. He brings his trademark dark unease and charm to his new role as Aaron, a serial killer who's pursuing his new found fame. Whether he's really a serial killer or merely a man in search of fame, Aaron is a creepy presence, and the film is no exception. As the second installment of the critically acclaimed Creep, the director has remade the original with a new protagonist, Desiree Akhavan, who has a compelling reason to fall in love with Aaron. Director Patrick Brice uses minimal resources to build frights, and the film's suspenseful mystery keeps viewers guessing whether Mark Duplass is actually a serial killer or just another victim. While the first film is an effective thriller, Creep 2 expands on its ideas and complicates the plot without undermining the core of the original. Ultimately, the film succeeds on its own terms. 184. Ravenous (2017) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3abQ2oRBzo Ravenous is a horror movie set in a small, remote village where a flesh-eating plague turns its residents against one another. With only a few survivors remaining, the villagers are forced to hide in the woods. Ravenous is rated R. While this zombie movie falls into the genre of horror, it does stand out as something a bit different. Its zombies are more unpredictable than the ones we've come to know from the works of George Romero, and they attack with such speed and strange behavior that they seem to be beginning to practice religion. If you're a fan of zombie movies, you'll enjoy this one! But, beware: it's not for the faint-of-heart. The French Canadian horror film Ravenous (2017) has been added to Netflix after its successful film festival run. Set in rural Quebec, the movie follows a group of survivors as they fight off the zombie hordes. The film features cleverly staged killings, surreal set-pieces, and dark humor, which give it enough quirks to break out of Canada and make its way to the big screen. And even if you aren't massive fans of zombie movies, it's still worth a watch. 185. Family Blood (2018) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXPrC7eKk1A This supernatural horror flick, with its interesting cast and a good tone, could have easily been in the top 10 of the box office. Instead, it's a solid origin story with some good action sequences. But while it has all the makings of a top-tier sequel, it lacks the emotional impact and the underlying story. While there are some genuinely creepy moments in Family Blood, the film's overall lack of tension and character development leaves a lot to be desired. The film is very different from your typical vampire movie. The connection between the two is vague and only the characters are recognizable. That said, the movie still succeeds in providing a decent chilling experience. The movie's protagonist Christopher, played by Jeremy Renner, is a drug addict with a dark past. But the real monster lurks beneath his cloak of sobriety. His family is not the only ones who are affected by his dark ways. Ellie (Vinessa Shaw) is a psychiatric patient in rehab who is also a drug addict. She has a child, Meegan, who is attracted to him. The movie also fails to develop its themes sufficiently to make us believe that there's any underlying truth to the relationships between the main characters. Christopher's infiltration into Ellie's life is incredibly quick, and could be a commentary on the effects of addiction on the family. The relationship between Kyle and Meegan is likewise short, and it only makes the finale event feel even more jarring. I would recommend going to other vampire movies instead of this one, which have much better themes about addiction and family unit and vein of nihilism. 186. Andhaghaaram (2020) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcbYKCZdcZE If you're tired of the same old horror movies, try Andhaghaaram. It's a good thriller that doesn't have any jump scares, but does offer quite a bit in the way of fright. It's a unique story that nailed the horror genre. The cast is solid and the script has a good pace. Director V Vignatajan displays his impressive vision with the film, and he's aided by a great technical crew. Andhaghaaram also has some good music by Pradeep Kumar. But while the soundtrack isn't particularly memorable, it does serve as a good introduction to the movie. The film isn't the most exciting, but Vignarajan has done a good job of making the story as complex as possible while feeding the story with fine details. It's a good start, but a few hiccups occur, but the film doesn't lose steam. This makes Andhaghaaram a watchable experience if you're looking for an engaging thriller. The cast is solid, with Vinoth Kishan and Arjun Das bringing the heat. Pooja Ramachandran is a natural, but underwhelming, while Kumar Natarajan and Meesha Ghosal do well in their supporting roles. However, the three leading characters make this film worth watching.
