7 Best Horror Movies on Netflix Right Now
-
The Babadook (2014)
© www.imdb.com
The Babadook is one of the finest provocative horror movie of the recent times which deals with the aspects of the maternal debacle that can be as fearsome a boogeyman or any devil under the bed. This deftly innovative and psychologically saddled horror movie presents sorrow as a devil, challenges reality, and crawls out the audiences by making psychopathy a common subject that could happen to anyone.
-
It Follows (2014)
© www.imdb.com
This ghost story about illogical activities which have lasting consequences follows a teenager who after an unusual sexual encounter finds herself tormented by blood-curdling visions and the ineluctable sense that someone is after her.
It Follows is a brilliantly concepted horror movie which exploits the same naïve fears – sprouting sexuality and body horror that while restraining the deliberate misogyny also corroborated the slasher genre.
-
Under the Shadow (2016)

Under the Shadow creates a plot where reality itself is suspicious which tells the story of a mother – Shideh, and a daughter – Dorsa, who are held up in an apartment, resisting the bombardment of the missiles. The movie is an ominous portrayal of feminist frenzy and urban unease which turns an average household setting into some place of lurking terror – an absolute original and profoundly creepy concept.
-
Hellraiser (1987)

In the time when horror movie lacked innovation, Hellraiser set a unique standard with its “Pinhead”, which makes this movie so relentlessly vicious, and so gleefully grim that it will be hard for the horror movies fans not to love this. The movie follows Frank who promptly opens the key to hell as soon as he steals it which takes up his soul, to create one of the genuinely troubling movies of the last three decades.
-
The Conjuring (2013)
© www.imdb.com
Based on a true story, The Conjuring dramatizes a little-known horrifying story from the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the paranormal investigators. The shocks in the movies are predictable, but they are scary as hell; hence this sensationally holding traditional freak-out movie is one of the most instinctively effective and scariest horrors of the recent memory.
-
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
© www.imdb.com
Only a few other movies have ever exhibited such a natural subtlety for mixing horror and dark humor the way An American Werewolf in London does. This gritty, scary story which still stands as the best werewolf movie to have been produced succeeds in being both scary and funny through its overriding zeal to delight that precludes it from being unappealing. The man-into-wolf transmutation scene is doubtlessly a classic shot in this movie which treats the suspense so neatly that the comparatively few instants of real trepidation are even more shocking for it.
-
The Shining (1980)
© www.imdb.com
Clearly the scariest movies available on Netflix where Jack Nicholson plays the role of a crazily freaky novelist Jack Torrance who goes insane after a particularly stressful winter. This movie is successful in unnerving the audiences by keeping the terror and repulsion so familiar and close to home. The ample shush, and a dripping sense of dread will forever sound like a hungry lion.
