Saint Maud
When conversations turn to the best A24 horror films, titles like X, Hereditary and Talk to Me are often mentioned. While these films are undoubtedly excellent, we can’t overlook the criminally underrated Saint Maud. This film is a masterclass in disturbing horror! It’s ideal for viewers who appreciate slow-burn terror, where psychological tension takes center stage instead of quick, jump-scare thrills. Its deliberately measured pace allows the tension to build steadily, creating an unsettling atmosphere that stays with you long after the film ends. If you haven't seen this psychological horror yet, here's your friendly reminder to do so. You're missing out!
Morfydd Clark shines as Maud, a devout Catholic nurse struggling with her own personal demons, who becomes consumed by the need to save the soul of her terminally ill patient, Amanda, an atheist. Maud is convinced that God has chosen her to bring Amanda to salvation before she dies. However, Amanda fiercely resists Maud's attempts to press her beliefs, creating mounting tension between the two. As Maud becomes more consumed by her mission, she begins to lose her grip on reality, and her religious devotion starts to warp into something far more disturbing.
The Visit
M. Night Shyamalan is best known for his thrillers, but he decided to step back into the horror genre with 2015's The Visit, a chilling found footage film that mixes dark humor with genuinely creepy moments. Fans of movies like Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project will find plenty to enjoy here, from its unnerving build-up to its shocking twist ending that flips the story on its head.
Becca and Tyler are siblings who are sent to spend a week with their estranged grandparents while their divorced mother goes on a cruise. At first, everything appears normal and peaceful, but the kids soon begin to notice increasingly odd behavior from their grandparents. As the unsettling actions intensify, Becca and Tyler grow suspicious that something is seriously amiss, leading to a horrifying discovery that turns their visit into a nightmare.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged
47 Meters Down: Uncaged caters to all the shark movie enthusiasts or creature feature fans. Or, maybe you’re someone who loves a good survival horror with high stakes and non-stop tension. Either way, this film has it all. We're talking terrifying underwater chases, nerve-wracking encounters with deadly sharks, and an atmosphere thick with suspense.
Mia and her stepsister Sasha aren't very close. In an effort to bring them together, Mia's dad plans a boat trip for the sisters to see great white sharks. But the trip takes a sudden turn when Sasha's friends invite them on a scuba-diving adventure to explore a sunken Mayan city. What starts as an exciting exploration quickly becomes a nightmare when they discover the ruins are home to a group of aggressive, blind great white sharks.
Totally Killer
Totally Killer is arguably one of the best slashers to come out in recent years, combining nostalgic '80s slasher elements with a clever time-travel twist. Fans of classic slasher films like Halloween, Friday the 13th and Scream are sure to appreciate this film. It's also a great pick for those who enjoy a mix of laughs and scares, as it does a good job of balancing humor and horror.
17-year-old Jaimie thought she would have an ordinary Halloween night, hanging out with her best friend at a concert. However, her night takes a terrifying turn when a masked killer from the past suddenly reappears and murders her mom. Known as the Sweet 16 Killer, the infamous murderer terrorized the town 36 years ago, brutally slaying three teenage girls. Jamie's mom was close friends with the victims and the sole survivor of the original killing spree. That's why the killer comes back to finish what they started.
As Jamie grieves her mother's death, she soon finds herself in the killer's crosshairs until a sudden chase sends her hurtling back to 1987, just days before the original murders took place. Stranded in the past and determined to prevent the killings, Jamie teams up with her teenage mom and sets out to stop the Sweet 16 Killer before the first victim falls.
The Exorcist
We couldn’t put together a horror list without including a true classic. The Exorcist is now streaming on Prime Video, making it the perfect opportunity to revisit one of the most chilling films ever made. If it weren't for this iconic film, there wouldn't be so many of the possession and supernatural horror stories we see today. There's no denying The Exorcist's impact on the horror genre, and it's the kind of film that you can watch over and over.
Chris MacNeil and her 12-year-old daughter Regan move to Georgetown, Washington, D.C., while Chris is working on a film. Shortly after, Regan begins displaying disturbing and violent behaviors. Chris then consults doctors, but they are unable to find a medical explanation for her symptoms. As Regan's condition worsens, Chris turns to Father Karras, a priest and psychiatrist, who suspects her daughter may be possessed. Alongside Father Merrin, a seasoned exorcist, they undertake a dangerous exorcism in an attempt to save Regan from the demonic force overtaking her.
