17 Best Horror Movies Released in the Last 5 Years Currently on Netflix
Even though many people seem to hate modern horror movies, calling them unscary and uninspiring compared to the stuff released in the 80's and 90's, the scary movie industry is actually doing better creatively than ever before.
Indie directors are being given unprecedented budgets to realize even the wildest ideas, and this creative freedom sometimes results in truly spectacular films.
The last five years have proven to be a true horror renaissance, with dozens of wonderful (and extremely scary) horror films wowing fans and critics alike, suggesting that the glory days of horror are still ahead, not behind.
Here are 17 of the best new horror movies currently on Netflix:
We decided to include some of the most obscure and underseen films for this list because the real horror revolution is definitely happening in small indie productions, where directors are free to experiment with low budgets and no oversight from studio heads.
And the fact that these indie titles have found their way into the Netflix library has really made them a huge service – despite their small budgets, they are instantly available to millions of people around the world, and we urge you to check them out.
If you like your horror provocative and unique, you can't choose better movies to spend an evening with than the ones we mentioned above!
