The best horror movies to watch on Netflix this August
As someone who’s spent countless hours huddled under blankets with only the faint glow of a screen for company, I can confidently say that these three selections are absolute gems for any horror aficionado.
As autumn approaches and days grow shorter, it’s an ideal moment to prepare for Halloween. What could be more fitting than settling in with some spine-tingling horror films as evening falls?
Each month, we select some top-notch horror films from Netflix’s current collection. Occasionally, we combine these picks with a more contemporary horror release, or else we recommend a movie that just joined Netflix this month.
Check out some chilling Netflix films such as a truly spine-tingling western horror story set in the old west, an innovative exorcism film with an eerie atmosphere unlike any other, and an unexpectedly enjoyable shark movie that’s far from ordinary.
Editor’s pick: Bone Tomahawk
Director: S. Craig Zahler
Cast: Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox
In the world of cinema, there’s a scarcity of horror films set against the backdrop of the Wild West. However, the movie “Bone Tomahawk” effectively demonstrates the unique potential that such a setting holds and might just be a compelling argument as to why more movies aren’t made during this brutal era.
As an eager moviegoer, I embark on a thrilling journey where a tight-knit group of individuals ventures into unknown territories to rescue some townsfolk rumored to have been abducted. The whispers of the locals hint at a ruthless and bloodthirsty tribe, believed to be lurking in the hidden valley. And indeed, these legends prove true.
“Bone Tomahawk” isn’t for the squeamish; it’s an intensely gruesome and brutal film that vividly portrays the terrifying nature of the American frontier. It’s also one of the most violent, unsettling, and disturbing horror movies of recent years, which definitely warrants a watch.”
The Wailing
Director: Na Hong-jin
Cast: Jun Kunimura, Hwang Jung-min, Kwak Do-won
In a blend of murder-mystery and exorcism genres, the movie “The Wailing” stands out as an exceptionally distinctive film experience. The story unfolds primarily in a remote village where a mysterious illness spreads, causing victims to behave violently and assault their neighbors. Although the origin of the disease remains unclear, suspicion quickly grows that it’s supernatural in nature, possibly a form of demonic possession, seemingly a curse inflicted upon the community for reasons yet unknown.
When the realm of demons is introduced in “The Wailing,” that’s when things get truly exhilarating for me as a fan. It shifts from being a routine police mystery to an intense struggle for survival between the realms of good and evil, though the lines often blur as to who stands where. This unique blend of elements makes “The Wailing” an exceptionally daring, audaciously ambitious horror film, setting it apart from most other movies I’ve ever seen.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged
Director: Johannes Roberts
Cast: Sophie Nélisse, Corinne Foxx, Brianne Tju
In the original film “47 Meters Down,” we find ourselves following two divers who found themselves in an unenviable predicament – they were ensnared within a shark-infested cage, submerged a daunting 47 meters under the ocean’s surface. This insight should make it clear why the title “47 Meters Down: Uncaged” is such a fitting choice for this sequel. Although the characters in the movie are new, the essential premise remains consistent – a group of individuals find themselves stranded in a dangerous location, surrounded by an abundance of sharks.
On their recent swimming excursion, a band of adventurous teenage girls stumble upon an underwater cave system and impulsively venture into it for exploration. Despite the inherent risks associated with cave diving even under ideal conditions, this specific network of caves teems with terrifying sharks, escalating the peril. The ensuing film unfolds as a nail-biting journey through dark caverns, punctuated by numerous nerve-wracking and thrilling shark encounters.
