Netflix is the new Blockbuster this season and it's got just what you're looking for!
Making it easier than ever to get your fix of cinematic terror, Netflix has gained it's popularity for it's cheap and simple website giving you access to hundreds of movies at the click of a button!
However, Netflix has a collection of scary movies that are rather... well... hit or miss and anyone could tell you that just by going to the reviews. Though there is a diamond in every rough patch and I have spent many late nights watching Netflix's array of horror films and since have formed a pretty solid list of quality Netflix horror movies for your viewing pleasure that I like to call the Top 5 Netflix Horror Movies Of All Time! So sit back, enjoy the ride, and maybe a good nights sleep... if you're lucky.
1. "The Taking Of Deborah Logan" (2014)
Rated
1h 30m
Synopsis:
An elderly woman battling Alzheimer's becomes the face for Mia's thesis when suddenly things go south as the woman's condition worsens in an unusual and unnatural way.
Review:
Probably one of the most horrifying supernatural films of all time! The Taking Of Deborah Logan brings fear and disgust to a new level with an Alzheimer's patient that is suffering from more than just Alzheimer's. It brings a whole new fear to the unknown.
2. "V/H/S" (2012)
Rated R
1h 56m
Synopsis:
When a group of delinquents break into a home to steal a very important VHS tape they discover that the tapes in question hold a horrible truth behind their reals.
Review:
A brilliant film that has something for every type of horror movie junkie! A series of short episodes divided into VHS tapes leaves a lot of room for material and topics to be addressed that will scare the pants off of anyone with a Netflix account! Just don't turn off the lights...
3. The Babadook (2014)
Not Rated
1h 33m
Synopsis:
A mother caring for her misbehaving child after the loss of her husband suffers from a series of strangers occurrences after a children's book appears on the families doorstep.
Review:
"The Babadook" sets the bar high for indie horror and is definitely a must see! If you love supernatural and psychological horror than you will love this as it is the perfect combination of the two but remember, "If it's in a word or in a look, you can't get rid of the Babadook!"
4. "We Are What We Are" (2013)
Rated R
1h 45m
Synopsis:
A family tradition forces two teenage daughters into cannibalism but with an overprotective father it seems as though they will never be able to escape this lifestyle alive but the girls have a plan.
Review:
Never underestimate the strength and will of cannibalistic children to change. In this film about overcoming obstacles and religion you learn a lot about who you are shaped into the people are by your parents but how, despite the rumors, you are always able to change yourself. If you want an amazing story with a great theme then "We Are What We Are" is just your speed.
5. "Mine Games" (2012)
Not Rated
1h 33m
Synopsis:
A group of teenagers drive out to meet their friends at a cabin in the woods but when their friends don't show they decide to explore the land on their own. Stumbling across an abandoned mine, the group decides to go exploring and stumble across what they never expected.
Review:
I have never had a movie surprise me as much as this movie did about half way in! The sole content of this movie is wonderful and brings an element to the table I have never seen before in a horror film. If you like thinking outside the box and questioning your entire existence then this is the movie for you!
