My favorite horror movies
61
items Hello, these are all the horror movies I've watched. I hope you'll enjoy them too.
I really liked this movie. Yes, the ending could've been better, a lot better, but it was really psychologically thrilling and spooky, especially for a Netflix movie. I'm really impressed with Netflix's content lately.
The Ritual (2017 film)
I just watched it and I loved it!! I had no idea it was based on books. There definitely has to be part 2 and 3, I so hope there is!!
Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End
Cool movie about zombies. Brad Pitt was good as the main role. Lots of gore and violence so not recommended for younger viewers.
Content collapsed.
World War Z (film)
For a pandemic movie, I couldn’t get past how lax they were about masking. But otherwise a pretty good pandemic movie.
Carriers (film)
Enjoyed it quite a bit. Confident outing for a first film - lots of neat stylistic flourishes. Good performances from a cast that I've never seen before. I don't think you could have the proper level of hijinks with only 6 main players, but it did fe...
It's What's Inside
Smile is a remarkably well-scripted and played psychological thriller that only lapses into horror cliché in the last ten minutes.
Smile (2022 film)
It's pretty similar in structure and how it plays out to the first movie, so if you liked 1 then you'll like 2. But where this movie really shines is Naomi Scott. She gave this movie 1,000% and I was absolutely blown away by her performance. She demo...
Smile 2
The Good: The most surprising thing about this movie was how it uniquely found a way to be scary, but still include funny moments throughout the film. It knew when to be funny, and when to be scary, without mixing the two together. The scary parts wi...
The Visit (2015 American film)
The movie gives off a sense of being hastily put together, resulting in a rushed and disjointed narrative that feels inappropriate and lacking in substance.
The Babysitter (2017 film)
This is a great follow up, this film like the first is full of great one liners, and the murders are just as amusing. The characters/cast are fun and enjoyable. You really get the feeling everyone is having a great time on set. Would recommend people...
The Babysitter: Killer Queen
Abigail is a great horror film with a fantastic story, and great jump scares, it’s definitely a must watch for any fans of thriller/Comedy movies like Scream or M3GAN.
Abigail (2024 film)
Here is what I wrote...which does not include 10. I had not seen it at that point:
Saw VI – This entire movie worked. The insurance guy, the traps, the entire storyline worked well and was thrilling. Really excellent entry. Saw – Yep, it was really g...
All Saw Movies In Order: How to Watch Chronologically
I wanted to like this one. I love time travel movies - especially when it involves scenarios like this story (someone was killed in the past and the protagonist tries to change the situation), as they also often involve a mystery (like this one did a...
Time Cut
Patient Zero is part horror movie, but also part study of a new junction, in a genre that might as well has been dried up as much as the corpses in The Walking Dead.
Patient Zero (film)
What I liked:
interesting, original concept that feels strangely applicable to our modern society. Let's be honest: if we could really download an app like this, most people would.
decent acting.
surprisingly likeable and intelligent main character, ...
