Directed by Chris Nash
Acting as a complete deconstruction of the slasher genre that goes beyond simply featuring ultra-violent kills, but relishes in the monotony and process surrounding them, In a Violent Nature is an engaging, terrifying, and sometimes comical take on a slasher. While the plot is relatively simple, following a dangerous undead killer as he lays waste to a group of teens that awoke him, what makes the film stand out is its unique perspective and execution. The film entirely follows the perspectiv...
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos
Director Yorgos Lanthimos is known for his unique movies, like The Favourite and Poor Things, which usually feature an offbeat tone, quirky characters, and deadpan delivery. However, the director’s darkest film to date is the horror-thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer, which still retains the director’s signature elements, but in a far more sinister manner. Colin Farrellplays Steven Murphy, a wealthy surgeon and family man who has a seemingly perfect life. When Steven meets the strange and...
Directed by Osgood Perkins
One of the biggest independent horror hits of recent memory that made massive waves for being considered by critics to be one of the scariest horror movies in decades, Longlegs found immediate worldwide success. The film follows FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) who is assigned with uncovering the mystery surrounding the terrifying serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), who is responsible for a connected string of family murder-suicides. As she delves deeper into the case, the risk...
Directed by William Friedkin
Arguably the most iconic demonic possession horror movie, The Exorcist is a classic within the genre, and influenced a whole new generation of horror movies. The film follows Regan (Linda Blair), a young girl who becomes possessed by a demonic entity, and her mother, Chris (Ellen Burstyn), who enlists the help of two priests to save her. At the time of release, The Exorcist was the scariest horror movie audiences had ever seen, with viewers even fainting. While some of the film’s scare factor...
Directed by Zach Cregger
Barbarian is one of the most bonkers horror movies to hit screens in recent memory. On the surface, it seems like your standard creepy horror flick. A woman named Tara (Georgina Campbell) books an Airbnb, only to find it has been double-booked by a mysterious stranger named Keith (Bill Skarsgård). Just when you think you know where the narrative is going, Barbarian flips the script and goes to a totally unexpected and wild place. The film’s second half is completely demented and gross, but it...
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman
While the first Saw film did a great job of establishing the concept and world of Jigsaw's death games and traps, it's the iconic sequel that helped cement the franchise's legacy at the forefront of mainstream body horror. Saw IIcontinues the exploits of John Kramer, placing people into deadly traps in able to give them a better appreciation for life, this time placing a group of people into a single, trap-filled house. At the same time, Detective Eric Matthews is tasked with solving the ridd...
Directed by James Wan
James Wan is one of the most popular horror directors working in the industry today, responsible for hits like Saw and Insidious. However, it was his 2013 film The Conjuring that reinvigorated the horror genre for the first time in years, giving it new life. Based on true events (what everybody wants to hear at the start of a horror movie), the film follows paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), who help a family being terrorized by a supernatural pre...
Directed by Richard Shepard
Netflix has released a slew of original horror films, but one that stands out (and is easily underrated) is The Perfection, starring Get Out and M3GAN’s Allison Williams. Williams plays troubled music prodigy Charlotte, who returns to her prestigious music school to find that she has been replaced by new star pupil Lizzie (Logan Browning). The pair are sent down a sinister path there is no returning from, embarking on the ultimate revenge plot. While viewers may initially make comparisons to...
Directed by Michael Haneke
Despite not technically being a horror movie, Michael Haneke’s original Funny Games is one of the most terrifying non-horror films of all time, and is truly difficult to stomach. The psychological thriller follows two young men (Arno Frisch and Frank Giering) who hold a family hostage in their lakeside vacation home. They abuse and force them to play sadistic games for their own sick entertainment. The psychotic Paul (Firsch) and Peter (Giering) often break the fourth wall throughout the film...
Directed by Scott Derrickson

Eric Bana plays Ralph, a police officer who teams up with Mendoza (Édgar Ramírez), a priest, to combat possessions that are wreaking havoc on New York City. From gruesome corpses to otherworldly demons, Deliver Us from Evilfeatures some truly grotesque and scarring imagery that leaves an impact. Its religious themes a...
