I was raised on classic horror since I was 5-years-old. Movies like “Nightmare On Elm Street”, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “The Hills Have Eyes”, etc were my comfort films from a very young age. Each of these movies on this list could be good for any horror movie addict or simply a group of friends looking for a quick jumpscare. I dug out some of Netflix’s best horror movies to list from best to least based on shock factor to plot. Let’s take a walk down Elm Street.
The Conjuring -
If you are looking for a gut-wrenching supernatural film that is based on true events, this is for you. In this movie there is a family who, after moving into a home, are facing terrors. In order to stop this they try to seek help from a couple of demonologists. The sinister jump scares are sure to make your heart skip a beat. In one of the best scenes we are face to face with a devilish ghost on top of a wardrobe. She then climbs off and decides to attack one of the characters in the movie. This movie is nothing less than horrifying. Perfect for a sleepover if you’re trying to scare any friends. Overall I’m not sure if this movie could get any better. (10/10)
Would You Rather -
A “Saw” like movie follows a plot of twisted rich people who simply look for enjoyment in getting people who need money in a game of a sinister would you rather. The game has two options of almost equally harmful things and you are faced with a choice to choose and follow through. The challenges start off slow and steadily increase and leave you wondering if you would be able to complete it. I know at least for myself, I would do what I need to do in order to get out of there. Overall this movie is interesting, so it deserves a good ranking. (9/10)
Truth Or Dare -
This classic Halloween movie has eight friends who all rent a house where they are celebrating the holiday. Soon they find themselves being forced into this terrifying game, in which they have no choice but to partake in a horrific game of truth or dare. They each die off one by one, however each kill will keep you interested. You will be at the edge of your seat trying to figure out what happens next. There are secrets throughout the group the twisted game feeds into, so the plot is interesting to follow. Overall this is a great movie to watch with friends if you’re not looking for something too scary. (8.5/10)
Bride Of Chucky -
This bite-sized doll killer is a comedic, terrifying, and overall breathtaking killer. It has the same shock factor as “Leprechaun”, with a small doll able to murder multiple people throughout the film. We start off with a committed girlfriend of a once dead serial killer who tries anything to get him back, even a satanic ritual. However she finds herself becoming a doll too, now they travel back to a graveyard to find an amulet that can turn them both human again. There are no jumpscares in this movie, but the creative kills are breathtakingly horrorify to watch. Overall this movie is definitely one to see. (7/10)
Leprechaun -
This rated R delight should be described as more of a comedy then a scary movie. Throughout the film we are faced with a, at most 4 foot bow-legged, leprechaun running, which is easily comedic relief. His accent and mannerisms make you wonder how any could truly fear this movie. The characters are so obviously terrible at reacting when faced with terrifying moments, it's stressful to watch. You’ll find yourself wondering why they didn’t simply do “this or that”. Honestly this movie simply isn’t ranked the lowest because of the ending which is most bluntly the scariest scene throughout the movie. The disassembled face of the Leprechaun melting will surely be in my dreams tonight. (6.5/10)
Hush -
Wow, just wow. This movie was an overall experience in which I would love to forget it just to watch the movie over. It is about a deaf woman who is faced with a murder. Soon the murder realizes she is deaf and tries to use it to his advantage, but little does he know she is one tough-cookie. We see throughout the movie how she is able to amaze us with her strength despite each time she is hurt. Overall this movie is sometimes hard to watch, with some scenes leaving you wondering how she was able to get through that. The poor beat up girl is an amazing strong woman and for that this is definitely a movie to see. (6/10)
