My Favorite Horror/ Thriller Movies for Movie Night 🎥 👻👹🍿
23
items These are my favorite horror movies of all time. I’ve watched all of these at least twice, and they’ve each had a lasting impression on me in one way or another. I’m typically not big on torture, excessive g*re, or gratuitous violence against women o...
Where do I even begin with this one. This movie made me sob. I think if you ask most people what movie made a lasting impression on them, they’ll say it’s this one. I won’t give too much away, but it left me disturbed, depressed, and hopeless for a f...
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
If you ever ask me for movie recommendations Coherence WILL be on that list. I’ve watched this movie with my partner, my sister, my friends, ANYONE who will agree to it 😂 it’s a low budget movie, but it’s so good you really do not notice. If you don...
Coherence (2013)
This movie is not talked about nearly enough. This is a Welsh film available with English subtitles, so you do need to read while you watch. It’s so unique and I really didn’t know where it was going.
The Feast (2021)
This is a Turkish movie with English subtitles available. I’m not even sure what to say about it without spoiling it… Cops are called to a building to investigate but stumble upon something far worse than they could have ever imagined.
Baskin (2015)
This movie is a masterpiece. Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg were outstanding in it, and the sense of dread and anxiety I felt in this was insane. Again, I don’t want to give spoilers for any of the movies on this list, but this movie is legit...
Melancholia (2011)
The Invitation is a 2015 horror/thriller directed by Karyn Kusama (director of Jennifer’s Body and limited series The Outsider starring Jason Bateman). It’s a tense semi-slow burn film centered around a couple, Will and Kira, who visit Will’s ex-wife...
The Invitation (2015)
This movie is way under hyped! I think it has the perfect creepy ambiance, great pacing, and a satisfying reveal at the end. It’s always my go to movie to recommend to “beginners” who are just starting to get into the genre.
The Ritual (2017)
I love movies that make me feel claustrophobic. So ones that take place in the catacombs?! Perfect! This is such a fun movie… but also imagining myself in this situation is my nightmare scenario…
As Above, So Below (2014)
Put this on if you want a unique science fiction horror/thriller. Two men return to the crazy cult they once denounced, but realize that maybe they weren’t so insane after all. This is directed by Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson (Synchronic)
The Endless (2017)
This is a Spanish horror movie with English subtitles available. They did release an English version of this movie in 2008 (Quarantine) but I’d highly recommend that you watch this version. It’s way better… I’ve seen both. This is a found footage sty...
[Rec] (2007)
I genuinely never hear this movie being brought up in horror movie discussions (or any movie discussions tbh) and it annoys me! This movie is GOOD and it deserves to be recognized. This movie is basically a flashback of a man’s life. He walks into th...
Frailty (2001)
A classic. I actually knew absolutely nothing about this movie when I watched it as a teenager and when I tell you I sat in silence after it ended… I didn’t know what to do with myself! I’m not sure if there is anyone out there who DOESN’T know what ...
Hellraiser (1987)
One of the first horror movies I ever watched! RIP to the great Tony Todd ❤️🕊️
Candyman (1992)
Jennifer Lawrence is such a versatile actress. She literally goes from the Hunger Games to Silver Linings Playbook to THIS and is amazing in each role. Even though this all takes place in a very large house, the sense of claustrophobia and anxiety yo...
Mother! (2017)
This is weird and gross, and I love it. I’m not sure if I’ve seen anything like it released within the last few years. These are the types of horror movies I love, and I want to see more of THIS!!!
Stopmotion
No notes. It really is just that good. The acting by Toni Collette is amazing (as always), and it’s just executed perfectly.
Hereditary (2018)
I don’t care what anyone says- this deserved the exact amount of hype it got and then some. The vibes, the suspense, and the very light touches of humor were perfect. This is such a good horror movie for people who don’t like intense bloody or gratui...
Get Out (2017)
His House is a movie focusing on a refugee couple moving to the UK for a better life. They move into a new home, but there seems to be something sinister living there. Wunmi Mosaku is really talented, and gives an amazing performance in this. She was...
His House
This movie is filled with tension, action, mystery, and horror. It has it all! I’ve seen it three times already, and I could see it again without getting bored. Genuinely such a fun watch!
The Void (2016)
A psychological thriller that keeps you guessing at every turn! It centers around a Vietnam war vet who is having difficulty integrating back into society.
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Suspenseful movie where reality blurs and tension rises, with a satisfying conclusion. Christian Bale gives a great performance as an impossibly malnourished machinist with insomnia.
The Machinist (2004)
A must see if you are getting into horror! This is a classic, and in my opinion it still holds up, even though it is from 1981. The creepy vibes are still there, and it grabs your attention the whole way through.
Possession (1981)
Be prepared for this one. Two hit men are contracted to kill three people for a mysterious employer. They get a lot more than they bargained for.
Kill List (2011)
