In the race for the most self-dangerous groups of people, bored teenagers are definitely in the Top 5.

9. Pearl (2022)

It’s Mia Goth. You don’t need to know much more, really — but we’ll tell you, anyway.

8. Orphan: First Kill (2022)

A prequel to the iconic horror, First Kill explores Esther’s story.

7. Evil Dead Rise (2023)

There are many reasons to not let your kids stray away too far, but their bringing back an insidious ancient tome containing dark spirits is among the most overlooked.

6. Scream VI (2023)

Jenna Ortega. There you go. For those who are still reading after the namedrop, we don’t know what you’re expecting to learn: Scream VI is your typical Scream movie, so if you’re a fan of the franchise, give it a spin. Ghostface returns again to further scar and scare those he’s already traumatized, and his identity is still mysterious.

5. Hellraiser (2022)

Remember, folks: no matter how low you think you may be, there’s always a chance to make things worse if you’re making stupid decisions.

4. X (2022)

If you’re a fan of the new scream queens, you’re in luck: in X, you’ll get both Mia Goth and Jenna Ortega.

3. Scream (2022)

There have been one too many Scream movies, but this time, we’re going meta.

2. Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021)
