Top Horror Films You Can Watch on Netflix

Whether you're looking for a good scare or just want to enjoy all the blood, guts and carnage that comes with it, Netflix has plenty of horror films to choose from.

Creep

The plot of this movie is about a telemarketer who's trying to sell a product to people and realizes that he has been talking to an airhead for hours without realizing it.

The director's name is Patrick Brice, who also directed Creep 2 which came out in 2017 but was not as well received by critics or audiences as Creep (2014).

Creep is classified as a horror film because it makes you jump out of your seat from time-to-time and gives you chills down your spine with some scenes having nothing particularly scary in them yet you still feel uncomfortable watching them! It's also very suspenseful, which is why we recommend watching this one on Netflix if you want your adrenaline levels raised without being too scared at night before going to bed xD !

The Invitation

You may feel a bit like a version of yourself that lives in the Twilight Zone when you watch this film, because it feels like an episode of Black Mirror. A group of friends is invited to a dinner party by their former college professor. When they get to his home, it turns out that he has chosen them for reasons unknown and he intends to trap them there for an indefinite amount of time. The friends must try to escape, but every door is locked or guarded by people who seem just as unnerved by the situation as they are. In addition to trying to figure out what's happening and why they're there, they have at least one more pressing question: "Where are all the other people?"

The Perfection

In The Perfection, Allison Williams plays the role of a successful but troubled Broadway musical prodigy who's been struggling to write new music. She gets help from a mysterious young woman named Anna (Lily Rabe), who may or may not be her doppelganger.

When they meet, Anna's all smiles and sweetness - but even from the get-go, there's something off about her behavior and mannerisms. As their relationship progresses into something more sinister than simply fan worship, it becomes clear that Anna isn't who she claims to be.

The film is directed by Richard Shepard, produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions (the studio behind Get Out) and written by Michael Goldbach (Demolition).

Hold the Dark

Hold the Dark is a 2018 American horror film written by Macon Blair and directed by Jeremy Saulnier. The film stars Jeffrey Wright, Alexander Skarsgård, Riley Keough, James Badge Dale, and Julian Black Antelope.

Set in Alaska and based on the novel of the same name by William Giraldi, the plot follows a wolf expert who investigates the disappearance of two children from an Alaskan village.

The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $1 million worldwide against its $5 million budget.

Apostle

This horror film is about a man who travels to an island in order to rescue his sister from a sinister religious cult.

The movie, which was directed by Gareth Evans and written by Jamie Hannigan, stars Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) as the main character and Lucy Boynton (Sing Street) as his sister. The story revolves around an Englishman named Thomas Richardson who travels to a remote island in the Pacific Ocean following the disappearance of his sister Caroline. Once there he finds himself trapped among enemies who hide behind their religious devotion while they commit atrocities against those who resist their control.

While this film could be categorized under "gore" or "psychological terror" categories due to its graphic nature, it also has elements of other genres such as "religious thriller" because of how much drama occurs between different characters throughout each scene - many times leading up to explosive climaxes at crucial points during each scene's progression.

The Hallow

The Hallow is a 2015 horror movie about a family that moves to an Irish village, where they discover that it's home to a terrifying evil.

The film follows Adam and Clodagh O'Malley (played by Joseph Mawle and Bojana Novakovic) who move their daughter Mia into the remote Irish countryside with their two other children. They soon discover that their new home has been abandoned for centuries because of ancient creatures that lurk in the woods.

Under the Shadow

This 2016 Iranian horror film is set in Tehran, Iran during the Iran-Iraq War. It's about a mother and daughter who are living in a city under siege by a mysterious evil. The mother is a teacher, and the daughter is just finishing up elementary school. The film follows them as they try to survive while coping with some pretty heavy stuff like losing friends and loved ones. The movie gets pretty scary at times but also manages to be really compelling and make you feel for these characters as they struggle through their ordeal. If you're interested in seeing what it was like for people living through an ongoing war where there were no clear winners or losers then this movie will give you some insight into that experience!

Apostle (2019)

Apostle is a 2019 British-American horror film starring Dan Stevens, Lucy Boynton and Michael Sheen. The film was directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption).

The plot of Apostle revolves around Thomas Richardson who travels to an island in search of his sister who has gone missing there. When he arrives on the island, he finds out that she has been kidnapped by a strange cult led by Pauline Quirke and her brother Jonah Lomu (aka "Leviathan") along with a group of followers.

In this movie you will see many different people performing different roles such as James Faulkner who plays police chief Elder Cale; Mark Lewis Jones plays Father Lucas; Michael Sheen plays Joseph Seed aka Captain Wexford; Ewen Bremner acts as Peter Nicholls in Apostle

Ravenous (Les affamés)

The film follows a group of people trying to survive the zombie apocalypse in an isolated cabin, who come across another group trying to do the same. What makes this film different from other zombie movies is that it's set in Canada and features a female lead who isn't all conventionally attractive.

The movie was nominated for best director at the Toronto Film Festival, and it won multiple awards at Fantasia International Film Festival. The director himself has said that he wanted to make a film where women could be "stronger than men." The movie also had an unusual release schedule: It was first released in France (where it became an instant hit), then in Canada shortly after that, before finally coming out on Netflix internationally!

Stake Land and Stake Land II

Stake Land and Stake Land II are both about a vampire apocalypse. The first film is set in a post-apocalyptic world where vampires are roaming the earth, and it's up to Martin (Graham Skipper) to help save humanity by carrying out a mission that requires him to travel through the country with his mentor Mister (Nick Damici). This film was directed by Jim Mickle, who also made We Are What We Are (2014), Cold In July (2014), and Mule (2018). It has been described as ""Mad Max meets Day of the Dead."

The second film picks up where the first one left off; it's now several years later, with Martin having grown up into an experienced hunter after completing his quest from the first movie. He returns home only for things to go horribly wrong when he learns that his girlfriend Abby has been kidnapped by vampires who want her blood because they believe she holds special powers related to "The Dream" - an ancient prophecy foretelling what might happen if they succeed in taking over humanity completely using their virus-like plague called "the Red Plague" which kills anyone infected within 24 hours unless treated immediately upon exposure."

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

The Autopsy of Jane Doe has a reputation for being a slow burn, and that's true. The movie is essentially about a father and son team of coroners examining a mysterious corpse. It's part horror, part mystery, and there are some moments where you're genuinely surprised at what happens next. But if you've seen enough horror films before, it won't take long before you know how this one ends up - and that's where all bets are off.

This movie is filled with gore; if you don't like blood or guts on screen (or even just watching someone scream in terror), then don't watch this movie! That being said: if you do enjoy your horror movies bloody and gruesome, then this one will satisfy your needs.

Watching horror on Netflix is a different experience than watching horror in theaters

The experience of watching horror movies on Netflix is quite different than seeing them in theaters. The biggest difference is that you don't have to share the screen with hundreds of other people, but that doesn't mean it's not a social experience.

When you watch horror on Netflix, it's like having your very own movie theater inside your living room - and it can be equally exciting! It doesn't matter how many people are watching the same film with you; what matters is that everyone is just as excited about what's happening onscreen as you are. Everyone will gasp and scream at the same time when something scary happens, and everyone will cheer at the end of an intense scene.
