The Best Horror Movies to Binge Watch On Netflix

The horror genre doesn’t seem to be slowing down in popularity anytime soon. Multiple titles turning make it to the news headlines every year. The genre has become so vast that if Hotel or Hills Have Eyes creeps you out, you can watch more toned-down horror content like Stephen King and most of his cult-classic adaptations. 

With the era of streaming in full-bloom, we have jotted down a list of old and current horror favorites for a binge-watching horror movie marathon on Netflix with your loved ones cozied up on a winter night. 

Surely, you wouldn’t want your internet to die out on the brink of midnight. If you fear so, head on to BuyTVInternetPhone and ensure you get a stable internet plan; one that doesn’t limit itself to an endless buffering loop.

1922 

Year: 2017

Stephen King isn’t deemed a master of horror at random. 1922 doesn’t rely on gory details or body-horror to evoke terror. Instead, King’s approach is more human as it focuses on the dread of remorse. Consumed by greed, Wilfred James schemes to kill his wife, Arlette and convince his 14-year-old son to help him. Despite being successful in their plan, the guilt that follows, later on, inflicts an unseen trauma, leaving the viewer in awe. 

Train to Busan 

Year: 2016

Yes. Moviemakers are still obsessed with zombies. Almost yearly, a zombie flick makes to the big screen, but not every flick belonging to the genre gains popularity. South Korean horror movies are renowned for the novelty they bring to the big screen and Train to Busan falls under the same criterion. Unlike your typical zombie apocalypse movie, Train to Busan doesn’t start with blazing guns as you’d see in Zombieland. Rather the movie has a slow start but steadily becomes a roller-coaster ride of emotions, comical bits, and obviously, hordes of zombies on a train.   

The Conjuring

Year: 2013 

James Wan brought skin-crawling classics ranging from Saw to The Insidious to the big screen. But his take on another now-classic horror movie, The Conjuring doesn’t induce jumpscares by grossing you out and you don’t see any zombies biting into flesh. The Conjuring spooks you when you are least expecting it. Just like the ‘clap game’ scene had viewers on the edge of their seats, the plot isn’t bloated with extra characters. Rather it streamlines the story into a pair of married paranormal investigators, The Warrens and their take on a new case in the outlying hamlets of a farmhouse and the haunting instances that unfold over there. 

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Year: 2010 

You seldom find horror movies that keep you hooked until the end because the story simply starts to lose sense. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is set in an eerie setting where Brian Cox and Austin play as a father/son duo of coroners who have been asked to conduct an autopsy on a Jane Doe in the brink of the night. The girl’s exterior is pristine and spotless with no visible wounds on the surface. But as they peel more layers, they unfold more horrors. Amidst all the unnerving connotations and findings, the movie doesn’t give away the twist until the very end. 

The Ring 

Year: 2002

The long-haired ghost girl horror whirled a whirlpool of popularity right after the J-horror, Ringu hit the screens in Japan. But Gore Verbinski’s remake of the horror classic is exceptional in its own unique flair. It does a lot more than replicate the story scene by scene. With carefully curated selection of actors, including Naomi Watt’s phenomenal performance as the lead, the story revolves around the cursed tape and whoever watches it meets their demise after 7 days. You will be surely on the edge of your seat when you see Samara crawl out of a TV screen. 

To conclude

Netflix has also added a ton of cult classics. With old titles leaving Netflix and new ones joining the repository if the aforementioned titles don’t spark your interest, head on to Netflix and have a look yourself.
