5 Best Scary Movies On Netflix
Tertia Van Rensburg

5.) Flowers In The Attic

Netflix Rating: 3 stars

Personal Rating: 5 stars

This movie is more of a really uncomfortable thriller, which is what puts it at number 5 instead of number 1. The movie follows children as they go with their mother to live with their grandmother. Seems simple enough right? Well, you'll have to watch to see just how complicated it is.


4.) The Amityville Horror

Netflix Rating: 2 1/2 stars

Personal Rating: 4 stars

Based on the infamous tale of a haunted house in Amityville, this movie is definitely a classic. A family moves into a house that recently served as the scene of a brutal murder.


3.) The Babadook

Netflix Rating: 3 stars

Personal Rating: 4 stars

A son and his mother struggle with being on their own. When a mysterious book about a creature called the Babadook appears, things get a little crazy. This is a fantastic movie, especially for Halloween.


2.) The Uninvited

Netflix Rating: 3 stars

Personal Rating: 5 stars

This is probably one of my favorite movies. If you're a fan of thrillers with lots of twists and turns, this is the movie for you. A girl that was staying in a psych ward following her mother's sudden death returns home to find a few new changes.


1.) Hush

Netflix Rating: 4 1/2 stars

Personal Rating: 5 stars

A deaf writer moves in the middle of nowhere to finish writing her novel. When a killer is on the loose, it's a battle of the senses for her to get out alive. I didn't buy into the hype of this movie at first, but it's fantastically well done.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
