Looking for a night in with some friends and you all are just craving for a scary film but can’t seem to find any that are worth the watch. Well here is a list of four movies that are worth checking out for your movie night marathon.
Hush (2016)
Alright, so if you haven’t heard of this move then definitely check it out. It is a great horror-thriller mix about a masked man who is terrorizing a deaf writer in her very large and isolated home, yes, I know it doesn’t sound like any unique horror film set up but I promise if you can suspend some of your disbelief while watching this film I promise you will be throughly satisfied and rooting for the deaf writer by the end. This is film falls into the genre of the Final Girl horror movies where the female must confront the killer.
Lights Out (2016)
If you’re looking for a more recent film that is much more intense than a thriller have a look at Lights Out. It’s got your jump scares, tension, and uneasiness all in one. The film focuses on a girl named Rebecca who is trying to help her little brother’s discover the causes of his terrifying experiences and discovers that it is an entity attached to their mother. It will keep you on the edge of your seat that you may need to sleep with the lights on. This horror flick falls into the supernatural horror genre.
Orphan (2009)
It’s a little older than the last two films but it doesn’t detract from how well the film was made and executed. It’ll keep the hairs on the back of your neck raised and you’ll really believe in the sentence “children are scary”. This film follows the story of a husband and wife preparing to adopt a 9 year old orphan after they lost their baby. This film will keep you on your toes and after it I’m sure you will be a little more cautious around children.
1408 (2007)
Be prepared for John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson in 1408. It is based off of one of Stephen King’s short stories and just like the writer this film doesn’t disappoint. This film mixes in surprise, horror and psychological twists that will definitely be making you yell at your TV screen as you watch. You follow a writer who writes books debunking supernatural phenomena and wants to debunk the evil room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel. Be prepared to jump and hide because this movie will make you uneasy.
