Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime

31

I’ve always been a Rob Zombie fan and have been watching his movies for years. Probably not for everyone but still. Also, he and his wife, Sheri Moon, are ethical vegans as well. Five carnival workers are kidnapped the night before Halloween and held hostage in a large compound. At the mercy of their captors, they are forced to play a twisted game of life or death called 31. For the next 12 hours, they must fight for their lives against an endless parade of homicidal maniacs.

 

47 Meters Down: Uncaged

As a scuba diver, I just want you to know these movies are completely unrealistic. However, entertaining. So take it with a grain of salt. Four teenage divers discover that the sunken ruins of a Mayan city are also a hunting ground for deadly great white sharks. With their air supply steadily dwindling, the frightened girls must navigate the underwater labyrinth of claustrophobic caves and eerie tunnels in search of a way out of their watery hell.

A Quiet Place

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt aren’t just real-life husband and wife, they play one in A Quiet Place too. If they hear you, they hunt you. A family must live in silence to avoid mysterious creatures that hunt by sound. Knowing that even the slightest whisper or footstep can bring death, Evelyn and Lee are determined to find a way to protect their children while desperately searching for a way to fight back Similar to The Silence which can be found on Netflix. Both are good, but I think I prefer A Quiet Place. Also available on Hulu.

Outsiders begin to poke around the motel, but Judd simply sees them as more treats for his pet.

House on Haunted Hill (1959)

Rich oddball Frederick Loren (Vincent Price) has a proposal for five guests at a possibly haunted mansion: Show up, survive a night filled with scares and receive $10,000 each. The guest of honor is Loren’s estranged wife, Annabelle (Carol Ohmart), who, with her secret lover, Dr. Trent (Alan Marshal), has concocted her own scheme to scare Loren’s associate, Nora Manning (Carolyn Craig), into shooting the potentially crazy millionaire. But more spooks and shocks throw a wrench into the plan.

Let Us Prey

Midsommar

Probably one of my favorite movies last year! A couple travels to Sweden to visit their friend’s rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.

My Friend Dahmer

The true, haunting story of young Jeffrey Dahmer — the shy adolescent in high school who becomes a notorious serial killer years later.

Overlord

On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter.

The first one is available to watch on Netflix. When the Reys move into their new Southern California home, little do they realize that the house is already occupied.

But nothing prepares them for what happens next. Also available on Hulu.

Pet Sematary (1989)

Doctor Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne). After the Creeds’ cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse.

When Rosemary becomes pregnant she becomes increasingly isolated, and the diabolical truth is revealed only after Rosemary gives birth.

Sleepy Hollow

Set in 1799, “Sleepy Hollow” is based on Washington Irving’s classic tale “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Faithful to the dreamy custom-bound world that Irving paints in his story, the film mixes horror, fantasy and romance and features an extraordinary cast of characters that dabble in the supernatural.

Stake Land

After a plague turns America into a realm of vampires, a hunter (Nick Damici) of the depraved creatures travels cross-country with an orphan (Connor Paolo) he rescued, searching for a safe haven.

The Cabin in the Woods

I really liked this movie. I remember when it came out because I couldn’t get anyone to go with me so I went to the theater on my own to watch it. Five college friends head to a remote cabin where they fall victim to backwoods zombies one by one but there’s a surprise factor at play. This is a unique twist on your “typical” horror movie.

You’ll never look at a cornfield the same way again…or children? A couple wanders into a small town populated only by children, followers of a sinister young preacher. Soon the couple is fleeing the youthful fanatics, who want to sacrifice them to their demonic deity.

The Collector

Desperate for money to pay off a debt, a man targets a wealthy family’s home and plans to break in and steal a valuable gem.

The Descent

Sarah heads spelunking with friends after severe emotional trauma. After descending, the women find they are not alone. Underground predators inhabit the crevasses, and they have a taste for human flesh.

The Midnight Meat Train

Underrated movie in my opinion! When struggling photographer Leon Kaufman (Bradley Cooper) meets the owner of a prominent art gallery, he sees a chance for the success that has, so far, eluded him. Determined to show the darker side of humanity for his debut showing, Leon crosses paths with Mahogany (Vinnie Jones) a serial killer who preys on late-night subway commuters. His fascination with Mahogany pulls him — and his lover (Leslie Bibb) — deep into an evil abyss.

The Night of the Living Dead

The Woman in Black

Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a lawyer, is recently widowed and grieving the loss of his wife when he is sent to a remote village to put a deceased eccentric’s affairs in order.
