10 horror movies to watch on Netflix right now

The Shining

I don’t need to convince you to watch Stanley Kubrick’s horror masterpiece. People are still talking about this movie, uncovering new secrets, and analyzing its finer details. There’s a deranged isolation that underpins the film, but it’s the frightening performance by Jack Nicholson, who believably descends into madness, that ties it all together. Once you see it, you’ll marvel at how truly ahead of its time The Shining was.

The Blair Witch Project

The Blair Witch Project landed before “found footage” was a thing, and people weren’t sure if the film was “real” or fiction—and it was this uncertainty that helped the movie achieve such a legendary following. At the time, the movie was inventive, clever, and created a wonderful mythology without leaning too hard on exposition. And that final shot? Man, I still get goosebumps.

V/H/S

This one is different from the others on the list in that it’s presented as an anthology. Each short can stand on its own, but they have a narrative link using the concept of found footage. What’s cool about V/H/S is it provides different directors the chance to tell their own story without needing to sustain the runtime of a feature-length movie. If you like V/H/S, it’s also worth checking out V/H/S 2, which uses a similar anthology approach.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Rarely are horror-comedies any good, which makes Tucker and Dale vs. Evil so surprising. Starring Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk, the film beautifully straddles the line between absurdity and hilarity, often harmonizing the two into a single, enjoyable tune. If you don’t mind over-the-top violence, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is the kind of movie you need to see, if only to help you appreciate the genius behind the horror-comedy genre.
