Netflix's horror selection is notorious among fans for being criminally small. "Stranger Things" just doesn't cut it for some people. Thankfully, although the selection is limited, there are quite a few hidden gems. These are just five of them.

1."Train To Busan"

IMDb

If you like zombies, this is your best bet. "Train To Busan" features a fast-acting zombie virus spreading rampantly among the passengers of a speeding train. This movie is not for the faint of heart, dealing with victims of all ages and sizes, and showcases some of the genuinely scariest "zombies" seen in modern horror. Despite its grit, the film has a few very heartfelt story arcs and is worth a watch. Just make sure you grab some tissues for the ending!

2. "The Ritual"

IMDb

"The Ritual" is one of the most unique horror films I've ever seen. I don't want to give away the plot, so all that I'll say about it is that it is terrifyingly good. After watching this film for the first time, I was actually wary about my next hiking trip because of the film's monster. Now, this is a feeling I haven't had since childhood. This film is pretty high up on my favorites list, and maybe it'll be on yours, too!

3. "Insidious"

IMDb

If you haven't seen "Insidious", you are missing out. Many horror fans that I've talked to consider this film to be in their top 5 favorite horror films. Maybe I'm biased, having seen the premiere alone and at a midnight showcase, but this film scared me so much that I slept with the lights on. "Insidious" is full of cheesy lines and jump scares galore, but it is sure to leave a mark.

4. "The Witch"

IMDb

This is one of those slow burn films that build up tension until the last second before unleashing everything at once. While this isn't necessarily a creature feature, you will find yourself wondering just what lurks in the woods that makes them seem so eerie. This film is a wonderfully shot psychological and supernatural horror, with an extraordinarily ominous ending to act as the cherry on top.

5. "As Above So Below"

IMDb

Have you ever wanted to visit the Catacombs? Me neither. (Just kidding.) It's pretty well known that the Catacombs of Paris are highly unexplored. With all the blocked passages and tiny crevices restricting access, only a small part has been mapped. When this group enters an unmapped portion of the underground city, they find much more than they bargained for. Found footage has never been so bloody.

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?

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?
