I’m a sucker for “party horror” movies like Talk to Me or Bodies Bodies Bodies, where gameplay becomes a nightmare for characters. Greg Jardin’s It’s What’s Inside is the latest example, blending sci-fi ambitions with parlor entertainment for pre-wedding festivities. It’s a story that relies on twists and turns, which won’t spoiled here, so trust m...
Writer and director Lee Cronin does justice to the Evil Dead name with Evil Dead Rise. Somewhere between the knockout ferocity of 2013’s Evil Dead and the stooge-like comedy of Sam Raimi’s sequels is the scary yet snickery Evil Dead Rise. Alyssa Sutherland gives a Deadite performance that deserves mention alongside Jane Levy, warping a mother’s lov...
Do you want to hear a spicy Child’s Play take? Bride of Chucky is not only the franchise’s best film, but one of the most pivotal horror franchise sequels out of all the heavy genre hitters. Don Mancini’s swerve into darker comedic tones and the addition of Jennifer Tilly resurrected the franchise following Child’s Play 3. Moreover, Mancini’s voice...
Here’s a safer Child’s Play take — Child’s Play 2 is one of the franchise’s best movies (not just sequels). John Lafia picks up where Tom Holland left off and runs with the proverbial baton. Brad Dourif gets to play around with Chucky’s sarcasm more, the lore runs thicker, and we get that fantastic Play Pals factory finale. Alex Vincent and Christi...
Who says PG-13 horror films can’t be terrifying (besides very wrong people online)? Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark adapts Alvin Schwartz’s children’s book series about spider babies in faces and pale pursers with horror at a premium. All those kiddos who were traumatized by Schwartz’s lack of coddling see their nightmares come to life through a ...
Xavier Gens’ Under Paris reverses the curse on a recent drought of good shark horror movies. It’s a ridiculous hybrid that somehow stays afloat between Jaws themes and a Geostorm-bonkersdisaster scope. A mako shark gets loose in the Seine River just before a massive triathlon that Paris’ leadership refuses to reschedule. It’s not an all-out actio...
The Nun boasts the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of any Conjurverse movie (25%) despite being the highest-grossing entry — a wild disparity. I’ve been defending The Nun since its release, proudly represented in that 25% positive critical percentage. Corin Hardy brings a castle-freaky gothic vibe to the Conjurverse, never trying to copy Wan’s films o...
It’s wild to think how a prequel as good as Mike Flanagan’s Ouija: Origin of Evil could follow something as forgettable as 2014’s Ouija. Flanagan goes back to basics with Habro’s Ouija board storytelling, stepping in as a fixer who brings legitimate terror and tension to the series. A cast including Flanagan regulars like Kate Siegel and Henry Thom...
The Wailing is a three-headed South Korean horror beast that requires patience but pays off big time. The film follows a police officer who investigates deaths and sicknesses in the remote mountain village of Gokseong. What starts as a skeptical police procedural becomes a more clouded thriller until a full-on possession arc dominates the third act...
If I’m being honest, part of me thought we’d never see a feature-length version of Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving. Kudos to the slasher filmmaker for pressing studios to make Thanksgiving until Spyglass Media Group finally caved, rewarding patient fans with a Massachusetts massacre that carves with the best of ‘em. Roth sells every delicious Thanksgiving ...

Nov 1, 2024 · Prepare to be terrified by the best horror movies streaming Netflix, including ‘The Babadook,’ ‘American Psycho,’ ‘Jaws,’ ‘Psycho,’ and ‘Annabelle.’

- Alien (1979) Ridley Scott's starship setting in Alien functions almost like a haunted house in space, being a place where nobody can run far and screams will rarely be heard.
- The Babadook (2014) Long before he became an unexpected gay icon, the Babadook was delivering visceral scares that simultaneously pulled on our heartstrings.
- Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) Like pineapple and pepperoni on pizza (yeah, we said it), horror and comedy provide an unforgettable mixture of saltiness and sweetness.
- The Cabin in the Woods (2011) Those longing for a horror homage with more than a few new moves will love The Cabin in the Woods. On the surface, it's the story of some hapless youths who just want to get away from it all.
- Under the Shadow (2016) An exquisitely crafted and thoroughly unnerving chiller, writer/director Babak Anvari‘s feature debut blurs the line between supernatural terror and the horrors of the real world like few films you’ll ever see.
- Apostle (2018) The Raid director Gareth Evans‘ horror/action freakout rewards a deliberate buildup with some stomach-turning violence and gore in the final act.
- His House (2020) Remi Weekes’ acclaimed supernatural horror debut follows South Sudanese refugees adjusting to a perilous life in small-town Europe. Like The Babadook or Under the Shadow, this is horror as dramatic art rather than a series of things that jump out and go boo.
- The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) Before his stunning Oscar winner The Favourite, The Lobster helmer Yorgos Lanthimos directed this highly stylized, brutal and darkly hilarious suspense fable about a family curse.
