Get Out
In Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning modern masterpiece, a young black photographer (Daniel Kaluuya) joins his fiancée (Allison Williams) for a visit to her skeptical, Obama-supporting parents’ home and realizes that they can’t be trusted. “The Best Movie Ever Made About American Slavery,” wrote Stephen Thrasher in Esquire.
His House
His House is a well-designed and surprisingly innovative horror-thriller that defies expectations and provides a film unlike any other. The film follows a South Sudanese couple who manage to flee the ravages of war in their homeland, only to arrive in England to find themselves facing a new danger… of the supernatural type.
Deliverance
The scariest movies don’t always have to go for the otherworldly or the grandiose to elicit terror. Put a deep-woods lad on a bridge and give him a banjo, and you’ll send shivers up the spines of a lot of folks. This 1972 picture, starring Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox, describes itself as “an adventure drama,” although the sentence “Squeal like a pig!” begs to disagree.
Train to Busan
Action-horror film from South Korea. Train to Busan is a novel take on the zombie apocalypse, following a father and daughter as they travel across the country by train after learning that a pandemic is overrunning the country.
The Hunt
The Hunt was one of the final films to be released in theatres before the pandemic hit in 2020, so if you don’t remember it, it’s because there was enough real-life terror to distract you. The political satire combines elements of The Hunger Games with liberal elitism and far-right extremism to create a muddled yet deeply troubling portrait of our times. It’s also horrifying, with plenty of gore and brutality thrown in for good measure.
Paranormal Activity series

Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat starred as a couple who set up a camera to discover what horrifies them. It is the most beneficial film ever, and all the series have been critically acclaimed.
