With no one to hear her screams and limited ways to escape, Jessie faces hallucinations, trauma flashbacks, and a hungry stray dog that's found its way in. A Stephen King adaptation that really gets under your skin.

5. The Platform (2019)

Ever feel like life's a bit of a rat race? Well, in this Spanish thriller, it's more of a vertical nightmare. A man named Goreng wakes up in a prison where food is lowered down on a platform.

6. I Am Mother (2019)

8. Secret Obsession (2019)

The amnesia trope, but make it terrifying. Jennifer wakes up with no memory after a brutal attack. Her husband Russell is there to care for her, but something feels off. Doors are locked, phone calls are monitored, and mysterious photos hint at a darker past. It's like watching someone solve a puzzle where the final picture might be their own demise.

9. In the Tall Grass (2019)

Another Stephen King adaptation. A brother and sister, Cal and Becky, venture into a field of tall grass when they hear a boy's cry for help. But once inside, they get separated and disoriented. Time loops, strange rocks, and grass that seems alive – this isn't your average lawn. It's a labyrinth of horror, and escaping it isn't as easy as retracing your steps.

10. Wounds (2019)

Will, a bartender, finds a phone left at his bar and starts receiving disturbing texts and images. He becomes increasingly unhinged as supernatural occurrences start plaguing his life. Cockroaches in his bed, mysterious portals – this phone is like a Pandora's box of nightmares. If you're creeped out by bugs, good luck sleeping after this one. Or, better yet, just skip it, seriously.
