8 Underrated Jump Scare Movies on Netflix Everyone Missed
It's time to shake and quiver in front of your TV!
With Halloween fast approaching, the horror movie season has officially begun. What better way to celebrate it than by watching some classic horror flicks to set your heart racing faster than on that treadmill?
Here are eight of the best horror movies to watch on Netflix:
The Ring, 2002
The remake of the iconic Japanese horror film is one of history's most popular movies in this genre. However, not many people know it's available for streaming on Netflix. If you're looking for an abundance of jump scares and stellar acting performances, The Ring, featuring Naomi Watts, has got you covered!
Creep, 2014
The jump scares in this indie film might seem ironic and not at all scary. However, the movie itself is rather ominous and unnerving, thanks to the found footage format and a truly terrifying performance by Mark Duplass.
Under the Shadow, 2016
Babak Anvari's sensational horror film breathes new life into the stale horror formula by setting the story during Iran's post-revolutionary period. The plot pits a young mother and her son against a menacing ghost, making it a truly unique viewing experience.
The Ritual, 2017
Horror movies that take place in dark forests may seem a tad cliché, but David Bruckner's The Ritual is anything but. Incredibly bizarre and packed with jump scares, this horror flick will make you think twice about venturing into the woods alone or even with friends.
Cam, 2018
It was only a matter of time before someone made a horror movie using webcam footage. Fortunately, Daniel Goldhaber was the first director to do so. This deeply unsettling film is sure to send shivers down your spine.
His House, 2020
Director Remi Weekes infused the story of a Sudanese immigrant settling in London with jump scares and disturbing imagery to better portray the experiences of African immigrants worldwide. It's a critical darling that's also eminently watchable as a horror flick!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2022
The remake of the iconic original might seem somewhat subpar compared to its illustrious predecessor, but it's packed with jump scares that leave neither the characters nor the audience feeling safe.
The Pope's Exorcist, 2023
This horror flick featuring Russel Crowe might seem a bit mundane at first glance. However, the sheer volume of jump scares and the nasty atmosphere will certainly send shivers down your spine.
