Best Horror Movies on Netflix Right NowMany of the best horror movies manage to make the most of a simple premise and confined surroundings. That's definitely the case with Panic Room, which largely unfolds within a single house as a mother (Jodie Foster) and daughter (Kristen Stewart) barricade themselves against home invaders. With director David Fincher at the helm, it should come as no surprise that the result is a tense, tightly paced thriller that many critics have compared to the work of Alfred Hitchcock. Like Gerald's Game, 1922 strongly suggests that Netflix may be the best home for Stephen King adaptations. King veteran Thomas Jane stars as a tortured farmer confessing to an unspeakable crime.
He convinced his own son to murder his soon-to-be ex-wife in order to save the family farm. James delivers a career-best performance in a film that's less about overt scares than it is wallowing in pure human misery. It may not be the follow-up to The Raid 2 fans were expecting, but Apostle proves that Gareth Evans has a flair for more than just martial arts movies. This period drama carries strong echoes of The Wicker Man (the good version), casting Dan Stevens as a man posing as a new recruit to a dangerous cult in the hope of rescuing his captive sister. Needless to say, the film goes to some pretty strange and terrible places by the time that journey wraps up. We're used to Patrick Stewart playing some of the noblest heroes in pop culture, including Professor X and Captain Picard. That makes his unexpected turn as a Neo-Nazi gang leader here all the more memorable.
Green Room is basically a survival horror movie, with the members of a travelling punk band finding themselves fighting for freedom after witnessing a bit too much at their latest gig. As director Jeremy Saulnier's followup to Blue Ruin, it's a very different but no less compelling indie horror film. Gremlins is the sort of horror movie they just don't make anymore. It's geared toward a slightly younger audience but features all the gore and frights you'd expect from an R-rated feature.

It's basically the reason the MPAA created the PG-13 rating in the first place. It's also a movie that still maintains its charm even three decades later.
It's Gremlins. Wes Craven already staked a claim as one of the all-time great horror directors thanks to A Nightmare on Elm Street. It seems almost unfair that he got to reinvent the slasher genre all over again with Scream. This horror movie works on two levels. It's a genuinely frightening look at a group of teens being hounded by a mysterious, masked killer. But it's also a sly, self-aware parody of the genre that pokes fun at Craven's own resume and other classics like Halloween and Friday the 13th.
There's a bit of Child's Play/Chucky renaissance going on right now, with a reboot (featuring the voice of Mark Hamill as Chucky!) in the works, a TV series from franchise creator Don Mancini, and then the ongoing series of sequels to the original 1988 film about the killer doll. As we said in our, 'Too many horror sequels feel like cheap and soulless cash ins. Cult of Chucky has big ideas, strong performances and some moments that rank among the best in the series. The other classic slasher franchises may be failing, but lately, Chucky is making entertaining horror sequels look like child’s play.' May just be the darkest collaboration between director Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp to date, and that's saying something. This adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim/Hugh Wheeler musical casts Depp as a Victorian-era barber returned to London with revenge in mind.
Even if you're not keen on the prospect of horror characters breaking into song, the gore, moody visuals and black sense of humor make this a musical well worth watching. Loading Eli Roth's best thriller, is a vicious and mean-spirited trip to eastern Europe, where boorish and immature American tourists are kidnapped and used as fodder in the torture trade. These are the type of heroes you'd normally want to die in a low-budget horror movie, but Roth's brutal violence and his lingering looks at their torment pushes Hostel beyond those familiar, mindless thrills and into the realm of the tragic and horrifying.
One of the creepiest and most original horror movies in years, stars Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as a father-son team of morticians who are tasked with performing an autopsy on a mysterious corpse that turned up at an inexplicable crime scene. As they dissect the body they discover one impossible medical mystery after another, until they find - too late - that the horrors haven't stopped now that 'Jane Doe' is dead.
It's suspenseful, fascinating, and scary as heck. Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning dark fairy tale tells the story of a young girl in early Francoist Spain, as she retreats into a world of horrifying magic to escape her fascist, violent new stepfather. Her world is so grim that even her imagination is tainted, and her childhood fantasy life more closely resembles a waking nightmare, filled with gruesome monsters and cruel temptations. Is haunting, earnest, and beautifully eerie. A family that's too Puritan for 1630s colonial America, which was spectacularly Puritan, is forced to live on their own, on the outskirts of the world. Grief, deception, hypocrisy and religious paranoia take hold, and the family starts tearing each other apart. Robert Eggers' instant, modern classic is a masterpiece of mood, and captures the historical era with immersive specificity.
You'll feel like you're trapped on this farm with these people, and going mad right alongside them. This unexpected, creepy hit from 2016 stars Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) as a babysitter hired by eccentric millionaires to take care of their. At first she thinks it's the easiest gig in the world, but she gradually begins to suspect that the doll is more alive than it appears.
Spooky atmosphere and some very unexpected developments make The Boy a standout creepfest. Loading is the film that made M. Night Shyamalan a household name is just as creepy and effective as it's ever been. Bruce Willis stars as a child psychologist whose latest patient is a young boy, played by Haley Joel Osment, who thinks he can see and talk to the dead. The scares are subtle and mysterious, but the real draw here is Willis and Osment, playing perfectly off of each other as huge realizations dawn on them, filling their respective lives with fear. And the ending is still a classic.A bumbling cop investigates a series of mysterious de.
Streaming service Shudder is full of excellent horror films, but which ones are most worth watching? The Shudder streaming service is owned and operated by AMC Networks and offers a wide variety of options for subscribers, whether they're looking for '80s classics, foreign hits, indie gems, new releases, or iconic films that have paved the way.Like other streaming platforms, Shudder produces original content as well. The service also features over 50 collections for those looking to explore different sub-genres. In addition, Shudder has curated watch lists from industry people like Rich Sommer, Nick Antosca, Barbara Crampton, and Kumail Nanjiani. Based on a short story by, Stuart Gordon’s horror comedy Re-Animator blends smart dialogue with gory visuals. Right from the start, the film establishes a campy tone as Dr. Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs) revives a dead colleague and delivers the now-iconic line, “I gave him life!” After the graphic pre-credits sequence, West continues his research at Miskatonic University while creeping out new roommate Dan (Bruce Abbott) and his girlfriend Megan (Barbara Crampton).
In the film’s first half, Re-Animator hooks the audience through quotable dialogue, a wild re-animated cat scene, and Crampton’s undeniable star power. But it’s Re-Animator’s disturbing final act that may require an immediate re-watch. To be clear, Re-Animator’s climax is not for everybody, even Shudder subscribers. A severed head essentially terrorizes the protagonists in a basement lab, but the dialogue hilariously complements the WTF visuals. As a director, Gordon clearly intends to shock the audience, but he does so through wink-of-the-eye humor. And that’s what makes Crampton’s lead performance so effective, as she plays it straight while her male co-stars camp it up.
As a whole, Re-Animator doesn't take itself too seriously, and expects that viewers will embrace the comedy rather than frown upon the most problematic moments. This classic is both timely and highly-influential. For one, Night of the Living Dead changed the game in 1968 with its powerful social commentary and black anti-hero, Ben (Duane Jones). In other words, it had something to say about American culture. The premise is seemingly simple: zombies emerge from a graveyard and locals flee to a nearby house for protection. Within this setting, however, the film explores race and gender while subverting expectations about how one should act during such a crisis.Related:Night of the Living Dead doesn’t offer a tidy resolution. Inside the house, Ben makes some questionable decisions, but he’s merely trying to survive. Meanwhile, an older man locks his family in the basement while other survivors attempt to process media reports about the zombie invasion.
From a 2019 perspective, the film holds up by emphasizing how people use information to align with their best interests. Some characters would rather stay in their comfort zone, while others realize they must escape and think about the larger picture. For one particular character, the narrative is especially complicated, evidenced by the film’s jaw-dropping conclusion. Shudder's new documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror expands on Night of the Living Dead's narrative subtext, along with the film's legacy.
