Black Box (2020)

Phylicia Rashad as Dr. Lillian Brooks and Mamoudou Athie as Nolan Wright in 'Black Box'. Everett Collection

The mind is a terrible thing to waste, and in the horror sci-fi film *Black Box*, mind games run rampant. Nolan Wright is a single father suffering from amnesia after surviving a car crash that killed his wife. Struggling to remember how to perform basic tasks both at work and in his personal life, Nolan reaches out to a neurologist who deems him a perfect candidate for her experimental black box treatment. Repeated journeys into his mind force Nolan to battle the monsters in his memories, but the deeper he delves, the more he suspects that his past is not what it seems.

A Blumhouse Television production, *Black Box *questions how much control we really have over our minds, and the lengths to which people will go to keep their loved ones alive. *—Ilana Gordon*

Where to watch *Black Box*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.

**Cast:** Mamoudou Athie, Phylicia Rashad, Amanda Christine, Tosin Morohunfola, Charmaine Bingwa

Child's Play (1988)

Chucky (voice: Brad Dourif) in 'Child's Play'. United Artists/Everett

Ever seen a highbrow horror concept turn lowbrow in the best possible way? *Child's Play* begins with a mother innocently buying her son a redheaded doll. There's just one problem: The toy, Chucky (voiced perfectly by Brad Dourif), has the soul of a serial killer and is all about committing murder and mayhem when nobody is watching.

In our ranking of the franchise's films, EW's writer said this first entry "feels pointed and a bit angry about the feverish state of consumerism then and now, but thankfully it never becomes pious in its messaging…it's a movie that just wants to have a good time." *—Chris Snellgrove*

Where to watch *Child's Play*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Tom Holland

**Cast: **Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, Brad Dourif, Alex Vincent

The Deep House (2021)

Camille Rowe as Tina in 'The Deep House'.

Epix/Everett Collection

An English-language horror movie set in France, *The Deep House* follows two American YouTubers (James Jagger and Camille Rowe) as they travel the country, searching for haunted houses. But after discovering a mansion submerged in a lake, the couple finds themselves launched into the deep end of some nasty supernatural business.

Haters of deep water, Satanic imagery, and sustained suspense need not apply: *The Deep House *runneth over with all three. But lovers of slow-moving, found footage films with unique settings (a significant portion of the action takes place underwater) will find much to love about this ambitious horror movie. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *The Deep House*: Amazon Prime Video

**Directors: **Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury

**Cast: **James Jagger, Camille Rowe

Evil Eye (2020)

Sunita Mani as Pallavi and Sarita Choudhury as Usha in 'Evil Eye'. Courtesy of Amazon Studios

Soulmates and reincarnation figure heavily into the supernatural vibes of *Evil Eye*, the third installment of the *Welcome to the Blumhouse* anthology of horror films on Amazon Prime Video. Sarita Choudhury stars as Usha, a woman who only wants the best for her daughter — a wealthy, handsome Indian suitor — but when Pallavi (Sunita Mani) begins dating Sandeep (Omar Maskati), attraction soon reveals itself to be an other-worldly obsession. What if someone's stalker was powered by the supernatural?

That's the terrifying conceit at the core of *Evil Eye*, and worse, Usha sees Sandeep's true intentions, but no one, including her daughter, will believe her. Rule of thumb: If a guy like Sandeep seems too good to be true, he probably is. *—Johnny Loftus*

Where to watch *Evil Eye*: Amazon Prime Video

**Directors: **Elan Dassani, Rajeev Dassani

**Cast: **Sarita Choudhury, Sunita Mani, Omar Maskati, Bernard White

The Golem (2018)

Hani Furstenberg as Hanna in 'The Golem'.

Dread Central/Epic Pictures

Set in 17th century Lithuania, *The Golem *is an Israeli supernatural horror film based on a monster from Jewish folklore. Benjamin (Ishai Golan) and Hanna (Hani Furstenberg) are a young couple living in a small Jewish village, struggling to conceive seven years after the death of their son. When people in their area are accused of cursing their fellow peasants with the Black Death, Hanna summons a Golem to protect the village from its enemies.

But even though the Golem Hanna creates looks strangely like her dead son, she soon learns the creature has no allegiance to her — or the people she intends for it to protect. Directed by the Paz brothers (*JeruZalem*) and filmed outside of Kyiv, Ukraine, *The Golem *is the rare horror project that feels both historical and modern. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *The Golem*: Amazon Prime Video

**Directors: **Doron Paz, Yoav Paz

**Cast: **Hani Furstenberg, Ishai Golan, Brynie Furstenberg, Adi Kvetner, Lenny Ravich

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)

Park Ji-Hyun as Ji-hyun in 'Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum'.

Well Go USA/Courtesy Everett Collection

YouTubers will do a lot of questionable things for views, but in *Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum*, one channel's livestream ends with more of its participants dead than alive. A South Korean found footage horror film set in the Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, the movie follows a web series creator and the six people he recruits to explore the abandoned building. Drawn to room 402, the former intensive care unit, the group encounters supernatural entities they can't explain and danger they can't escape.

Based on the real-life Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital — a South Korean asylum that was considered one of the country's most haunted buildings before it was demolished in 2018 — the film starts off slow, but will have you lunging for the lights by the time the ending arrives. *—I.G.*****Where to watch *Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum*: Amazon Prime Video******Director:** Jung Bum-shik******Cast: **Wi Ha-joon, Park Ji-hyun, Oh Ah-yeon, Moon Ye-won, Park Sung-hoon

Hell House LLC (2015)

Gore Abrams as Paul O'Keefe in 'Hell House LLC'.

What if you combined the verité grooves of documentary-style found footage, the inherent creepiness of a haunted house attraction, and the sense of uncertainty around a horrifying and mysterious incident of violence? Well, you'd have something like *Hell House LLC. *Amidst frantic local media coverage, interviews with inquisitive journalists, and even a cryptic YouTube video from a spectator, the death of 15 people in the basement of Hell House remains a mystery… that is until the lone survivor of the team behind the attraction comes forward with tapes documenting the terrors leading up to that fateful night.

This 2015 indie horror hit has capitalized on its cult following with two ensuing sequels, but don't get ahead of yourself. There's enough going on in the first *Hell House* to occupy your supernatural curiosity. *—J.L.*

Where to watch *Hell House LLC*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Stephen Cognetti

**Cast: **Ryan Jennifer Jones, Danny Bellini, Gore Abrams, Jared Hacker

Hellraiser (1987)

Doug Bradley as Pinhead in 'Hellraiser'. Everett Collection

Written and directed by genre legend Clive Barker and based on his own novella *The Hellbound Heart*, this 1987 British horror film is our first introduction to the pierced, sadomasochistic dimensional beings known as the Cenobites, who are unleashed on Earth to conduct wholesale supernatural mayhem on pleasure-seeking humans.

Who are the Cenobites? Led by Pinhead and his legions, these Hell-dwellers can no longer distinguish between pleasure and pain, and serve as the antagonists in *Hellraiser *and its many sequels. In their ranking of all the *Hellraiser *films, an EW contributor writes that the original film "is as close to an absolutely perfect horror film as one could reasonably find." *—J.L.*

Where to watch *Hellraiser*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Clive Barker

**Cast: **Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence

House (1985)

William Katt as Roger Cobb (right) in 'House'.

New World Releasing/Everett

Nobody expected that a small, comedic horror movie about a writer working on his novel in a haunted house would go on to rival *Pretty in Pink* at the box office, but that is the story of *House*, the film that launched a franchise. Starring William Katt, George Wendt, Richard Moll, and Kay Lenz, the movie follows a writer (Katt) who moves into his aunt’s old Victorian home after her death, only to find himself hounded by flashbacks of his fallen Vietnam War buddy, his missing son, and other assorted monsters.

A family-friendly horror movie that is light on scares and heavy on laughs, *House* is the kind of ‘80s film capable of entertaining and evoking nostalgia for simpler times when ghosting only happened in real life, instead of via text. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *House*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Steve Miner

**Cast:** William Katt, George Wendt, Richard Moll, Kay Lenz

In My Mother's Skin (2023)

Jasmine Curtis-Smith as the Fairy in 'In My Mother's Skin'.

Prime Video/YouTube

During the tail-end of World War II — as Japanese soldiers continued to sow terror across the Philippines — a well-heeled family remains confined in their fortress-like mansion. When her father (Arnold Reyes) leaves in pursuit of aid from Americans, a young girl named Tala (Felicity Kyle Napuli) is left to deal with her dying mother, whose waning health drives her daughter to seek refuge from an *Engkanto* (Jasmine Curtis-Smith): a disconcerting, ever-smiling fairy who carries insidious plans to consume them from within.

Premiering at Sundance as part of the festival's "Midnight" section, this Filipino folk horror is an effective slow-burn enriched with provocative imagery and absorbing costume and sound design. But beyond its artsy veneer, *In My Mother's Skin* operates as a parable for the agonies endured by a nation ravaged by colonial exploitation. *—James Mercadante*

Where to watch *In My Mother's Skin*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Kenneth Dagatan

**Cast:** Beauty Gonzalez, Felicity Kyle Napuli, James Mavie Estrella, Angeli Bayani, Ronnie Lazaro

Lake Mungo (2010)

Marcus Costello as Jason Whittle in 'Lake Mungo'.

Given that everything natural on the continent is designed to kill you, Australia seems an ideal setting for a horror movie. But in the psychological horror film *Lake Mungo* — set in Ararat, Australia — the fear isn’t born from external foes, but rather from the terror required to succumb to the depths of human feeling. *Lake Mungo* begins with the accidental drowning of 16-year-old Alice Palmer.

Upon returning home, her brother Matthew believes he sees Alice’s ghost, but further investigation from the Palmer family reveals that Alice was seeing premonitions of her death. Far from providing closure, the family begins to realize that the more they learn about Alice’s personal life, the less they understand about what happened to her. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Lake Mungo*: Amazon Prime Video******Director:** Joel Anderson ******Cast: **Talia Zucker, Rosie Traynor, David Pledger

Malicious (2018)

Presley Richardson as Demon Doll Girl in 'Malicious'. Everett Collection

You can't compile a list of must-see supernatural movies without including *Malicious*, a film containing all of the genre's favorite tropes and greatest hits: a newly married couple; a pregnant woman left alone in an unfamiliar, new home; a mysterious box; a creepy doll; and, of course, ghosts cosplaying as cheerleaders. The film follows Adam (Josh Stewart) and Lisa (Bojana Novakovic) as they move into a new home provided by the university where Adam has accepted a job as a professor. But after Lisa opens a mysterious gift from her sister, her pregnancy takes a turn for the sinister, and she becomes convinced her unborn child has been transmuted into something evil. *Malicious* delivers a terrifying cinematic interpretation of its tagline, "Children are a gift from hell." *—I.G.*****Where to watch *Malicious*: Amazon Prime Video******Director: **Michael Winnick******Cast:** Bojana Novakovic, Josh Stewart, Melissa Bolona, Delroy Lindo

The Manor (2021)

Barbara Hershey as Judith Albright in 'The Manor'. Amazon Studios

Fans of FX's long-running series *American Horror Story* may recognize the gothic artistry of *The Manor's *Axelle Carolyn (who also helmed episodes of the horror franchise). Boasting similar vibes to *AHS*, *The Manor* stars Barbara Hershey as Judith, a former dancer in her youth, who becomes the newest resident of a creaky old nursing home after she suffers a stroke.

The other residents of Golden Sun Manor seem to be dying at an alarming rate, and Judith soon discovers how supernatural forces keep other people alive even longer. *The Manor* is another addition to the *Welcome to the Blumhouse* series, and returns Hershey to horror after her terrific turn in the *Insidious* franchise. *—J.L.*

Where to watch *The Manor*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Axelle Carolyn

**Cast: **Barbara Hershey, Bruce Davison, Stacey Travis, Ciera Payton, Jill Larson

Master (2022)

Regina Hall as Gail Bishop in 'Master'.

Amazon Studios/Everett Collection

The rumor going around the halls of the fictional East Coast college, Ancaster, is that the elite, Ivy League institution has long been haunted by the ghost of a convicted witch. A supernatural, psychological thriller, *Master *stars Regina Hall as Gail, the first Black master — or head of the college. Gail's tenure at the school coincides with the arrival of freshman student named Jasmine (Zoe Renee), whose assigned room has its own beyond-the-grave history, and whose roommate is a separate horror story altogether.

Representing writer-director Mariama Diallo's debut feature, *Master *is a smart, specific film set in a toxic environment that is poised to combust. EW's critic writes that the movie is a "never-less-than-memorable feature debut, both an indictment of racist institutions and a horror movie in the vein of *Get Out* and *Candyman*." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Master*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade: **A–

**Director: **Mariama Diallo

**Cast: **Regina Hall, Zoe Renee, Amber Gray, Molly Bernard, Nike Kadri

Saint Maud (2021)

Morfydd Clark as Maud in 'Saint Maud'. A24

Religious conversion often comes following a religious experience. A moment of ecstasy and understanding gives way to commitment which gives way to…what? The stark divide between before Christ and after is a source of terror for many a saint and writer-director Rose Glass' debut feature is one of the most effective genre pieces about the complexities of conversion.

Morfydd Clark stars as the titular Maud, a shy nurse with a murky past who can't help but worm her newfound faith into her work with hospice patients. EW lauds *Saint Maud* as a "remarkable feature debut for Glass, who conjures an intimate mood of psychological horror before veering assuredly into a more extreme freakout." *—Randall Colburn*

Where to watch* Saint Maud*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade: **B+

**Director: **Rose Glass

**Cast:** Morfydd Clark, Jennifer Ehle

Suspiria (2018)

Dakota Johnson as Susanna (center) in 'Suspiria'. Alessio Bolzoni/Amazon Studios

In a creative pivot, director Luca Guadagnino followed up his hit *Call Me by Your Name* (2017) with *Suspiria*, a period retelling of Dario Argento's 1977 horror classic that features the incomparable Tilda Swinton playing three different characters (one of whom is male), Dakota Johnson, and new-era scream queen Mia Goth. When a sheltered young woman named Susie (Johnson) travels to Germany and joins an exclusive dance company, she encounters a whole different kind of company in the coven of witches who run the place.

EW's critic highlights some of "the incredibly effective sequences in the film, including one showstopper in which Susie auditions for the lead part in a piece while, in a nearby studio, one of her fellow dancers is violently whipped around like a rag doll." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Suspiria*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Luca Guadagnino

**Cast: **Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Angela Winkler, Chloë Grace Moretz

The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

Jill Larson as Deborah Logan in 'The Taking of Deborah Logan'. Millennium Entertainment

Speaking of found footage, the technique still had legs in 2014 when filmmaker Adam Robitel utilized it to a terrifically unsettling effect in his directorial debut, *The Taking of Deborah Logan*. This time, film students set out to document one aging woman's bout with Alzheimer's, but instead discover something much more sinister lurking in her mental cavities. The fear and mystery of a chronically debilitating disease, the brutal legacy of infamous past slayings, and talk of rituals and reincarnation are all at work in this oft-overlooked gem of 2010s supernatural horror.

While the film eventually established a steady following, that wasn't clear at first. "It was devastating," Robitel tells EW about its underwhelming release. "But, that weekend, on Netflix, a million people saw and shared it." *—J.L.*

Where to watch *The Taking of Deborah Logan*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Adam Robitel

**Cast:** Jill Larson, Anne Ramsay, Michelle Ang, Ryan Cutrona

The Wailing (2016)

Kwak Do-won as Jong-goo and Kim Hwan-hee as Hyo-jin in 'The Wailing'. Well Go USA/Courtesy Everett Collection

Don’t be scared by *The Wailing*’s runtime: At two hours and 36 minutes, this prestige horror film is epically long, but each of those minutes is well-earned. A supernatural whodunnit out of South Korea, *The Wailing *follows a cop (Kwak Do-won) as he investigates the source of a mysterious illness affecting rural villagers and turning them violent — including his own daughter.

From writer-director Na Hong-jin, this exorcism movie mixes familiar Eastern and Western ideas and imagery around possessions, exorcisms, and demons, and manages to emerge with a story that looks and feels completely new. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *The Wailing*: Amazon Prime Video

**EW grade: **B+

**Director: **Na Hong-jin

**Cast:** Kwak Do-won, Hwang Jung-min, Chun Woo-hee, Jun Kunimura

We Are Still Here (2015)

Barbara Crampton as Anne Sacchetti in 'We Are Still Here'. Everett Collection

*We Are Still Here* is a 2015 period indie horror from writer-director Ted Geoghegan, and a film that proves that when it comes to the supernatural, the horrific, and things proverbially going bump in the night, there's no better setting than a proper haunted house. Here, genre legend Barbara Crampton and Andrew Sensenig star as a couple inspired to move into a mysterious new home after the traumatic loss of their young son. But despite seeking a fresh start, all they get is meddling townspeople, longstanding secrets, and a home with its own blood to spill. *—J.L.*

Where to watch *We Are Still Here*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director: **Ted Geoghegan

**Cast: **Barbara Crampton, Andrew Sensenig, Larry Fessenden, Lisa Marie, Monte Markham
