Time to creep you out
Guillermo Del Toro’s gothic horror film seemed to start building a cult following the moment it was released. After all, this is a gorgeous, unforgettable piece of craft, a reminder that Del Toro’s vision is unlike anyone else working together. The film also captivates with its beautiful aesthetics. | © Netflix
Travis Stevens co-wrote and directed this grisly, clever 2019 horror film about a man, played by wrestler C.M. Punk, who remodels an old home in the suburbs of Chicago, where he finds, well, bad things. With great practical effects and a pitch-black sense of humor, it’s a movie that recalls great horror films of the ‘70s and ‘80s in ways we don’t see from the genre that often nowadays. It’s crunchy and brutal. Don’t miss it. | © Tiberius Film
This Sundance favorite is one of the best horror films on Netflix. It tells the story of a Sudanese refugee couple who flee to London, only to find that ghosts have fled with them. It's a harrowing, frightening work, heightened by its impressive commentary on how much people take with them when they leave. It's not houses that are haunted, it's people. Definitely not for the faint of heart. | © Netflix
Dave Franco wrote and directed his 2020 debut about how inherently creepy it is that Airbnbs are a thing. The film is about four people who rent a cabin from a creep for a weekend. The slow burn corrodes relationships before the real horror sets in. It also stars very cool actors. | © Netflix
In a world where resources are scarce, a starving family takes the opportunity to grab a free meal at a hotel. The dinner is punctuated by a play. But suddenly members of the audience disappear and the participants are in great danger. Bloody and Crazy. | © Netflix
The horror thriller by Spanish director Paco Plaza is said to be the scariest film ever on Netflix. Others think this is excessive hype. But without a doubt, "Veronica" is quite a shocker: During a solar eclipse, 15-year-old Veronica (together with two friends) wants to contact her deceased father at a séance. | © Netflix
This horror film by Iranian-born director Babak Anvari skillfully plays with human perception: is the apartment building in which Shideh lives with her daughter Dorsa plagued by an evil spirit or is the woman suffering from delusions? A creepy film off the mainstream. | © Netflix
