5 Best Horror Movies on Netflix With High RT Score to Binge This Halloween
All of them are just perfect for a spooky night.
Halloween is approaching, time to pick out horror movies for October evenings. Netflix 's library offers movies of all genres, including horror.
Here are the best scary movies you can watch at home on Netflix.
1. Vampires vs. the Bronx, 2020
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 90%
While A24's forte is leisurely horror films about experiencing trauma, Netflix has excelled at comedic horror films where the main character is a teenager. Vampires vs. the Bronx is a prime example, where humor is tightly fused with a social message and otherworldly monsters.
The boys from the Bronx discover that their already unfortunate neighborhood has been taken over by real vampires who are trying to suck all the blood out of the locals.
Of course, it is the teens on bikes who have to fight back the vampires. Oz Rodriguez's movie is a perfect evening entertainment for those who are tired of vampires in a romantic role.
2. Gerald's Game, 2017
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91%
Gerald's Game is a book by Stephen King that is almost impossible to adapt into a movie. The entire plot of the novel is about a woman who is handcuffed to the headboard, alone with herself and her terrible thoughts.
An attempt to revive the sex life of her marriage ended in the worst possible way – a heart attack killed her husband, and the woman found herself alone in a country house and practically paralyzed.
But the text was taken up by a big King fan and horror expert Mike Flanagan, who turned the novel into a claustrophobic psychological thriller about overcoming. Gerald's Game is not only interesting to watch, but also to re-watch – the nerve of the narrative does not weaken even with a known outcome.
3. Fear Street Part 1: 1994, 2021
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84%
In July 2021, three movies were released within a week of each other, all connected by the town of Shadyside, but separated by time: the paranormal events took place in 1994, 1978, and 1666.
The first movie of the trilogy rethought the slashers of the 90s, especially Scream, the second took the movie to a massacre camp like Crystal Lake in Friday the 13th, and the third took a step away from slashers and towards cult horror about witches.
Fear Street can hardly be called a new word in the genre, but the films are still perfect to watch in the company of friends and lure with the recognizable vibe of Stranger Things – Maya Hawke and Sadie Sink starred in different parts of the series.
4. I'm Thinking of Ending Things, 2020
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 82%
I'm Thinking of Ending Things is undoubtedly the strangest movie on this list. Charlie Kaufman is best known as a screenwriter, with credits including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich.
His work as a director often amplifies the eccentricities of his writing, and I'm Thinking of Ending Things is no exception, even though it's based on a novel by another author, Iain Reid.
A couple goes to meet the guy's parents: his mom and dad are suspiciously friendly, and the girl feels like an outsider as she contemplates how to end the relationship. Kaufman's movie is a dream. But instead of melancholy sadness, it conveys an uncomfortable sense that something is wrong.
5. Veronica, 2017
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85%
One of Netflix's first horror movies remains one of its scariest. During a solar eclipse, high school girls who don't want to watch the celestial bodies rearrange decide to use the rare event to talk to the dead. Veronica dreams of contacting her recently deceased father – as is traditional in the genre, the dead answer.
It's hard to say what exactly is so scary about the movie: the "based on a true story" inscription or the brief summaries of what happened to Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro and her family in the early 90s.
