The Best Horror Movies On Netflix To Scare The Crap Out Of You
What are the best horror movies on Netflix?
Navigating through the Netflix landscape of original programming and 20-year-old mediocrity can be tiresome. Especially when all you really want to do is curl up on your sofa for a solid 48 hours in your favorite pair of flannel boxers, shove your face full of three-day-old cold pizza, and stare into the familiar “Are you still watching?” abyss. Well, if it’s comfort that you’re looking for, we can think of no other genre more comforting than horror. And the Netflix horror game is solid these days. Like that one best friend who’ll come to your door when you really need them, beer and cookies in hand. Maybe also a machete. So here are the best horror movies on Netflix.The Lost Boys
The Lost Boys is everything beautiful and wonderful about 1980s horror. It has vampires, but vampires in a beach city, because as dark and gloomy as they may be, they’re still super into late night boardwalk concerts featuring Tina Turner’s saxophone player.
Also, the two Coreys, in what is most likely their greatest career performance.
Deep Blue Sea

Deep Blue Sea is certainly not one of those films that should be watched seriously. No one expects you to buy LL Cool J’s chef and parrot comedy duo as a legitimate hero. But goddammit, if this movie isn’t fun to watch. The plot alone — they were just trying to find a cure for Alzheimer’s!
— makes it perfect horror popcorn fodder.
Cabin Fever
No, not the remake (reboot?) that came out in 2016. We mean the original, 2002 Eli Roth feature film directorial debut. The one starring Cheryl Ladd’s daughter and Shawn from Boy Meets World. The one with the most cringe-worthy shaving scene ever put on film. That one.
Verónica
So maybe you’ve seen every other possession film to hit theaters over the last 20 years. And maybe you’re sick of the genre. We wouldn’t blame you; it’s a little played out at this point.
But Verónica, the 2017 “based on a true story” Spanish film, rates higher than most, if for no other reason than Sandra Escacena’s performance as the title character. Oh, and Sister Death.
