This one isn’t just jump scares, it’s half a courtroom drama. A priest stands trial after a failed exorcism, while Jennifer Carpenter’s contorted, terrifying turn as Emily makes your skin crawl.

Pulled from Mexican folklore, the “Weeping Woman” hunts children, her cries echoing through the night. Creepy shadows, water everywhere, and a mother fighting to save her kids drive the tension.

An ‘80s classic that made TV static terrifying. A normal family home turns into a nightmare—possessed toys, shifting walls, that famous “They’re here” line. Still unsettling, decades later.

Forget the cabin—this one moves the madness to a high-rise. The Necronomicon unleashes absolute chaos, with Alyssa Sutherland’s possessed-mom performance enough to make you never look at smiles the same.

Stephen King’s creepy little toy comes alive. Two brothers realize its clapping cymbals mean someone’s about to die. Childhood fear, family trauma, and supernatural menace all wrapped up in one.

Four friends go hiking in Sweden, carrying guilt with them. What they find isn’t just grief—it’s an ancient forest god stalking them. Dread builds until that unforgettable creature reveal.

Starts like a slow family drama, ends like pure nightmare fuel. Toni Collette’s breakdowns, the suffocating atmosphere, and that jaw-dropping finale make it one of horror’s most disturbing modern films.

Bughuul’s back, and so are those cursed films. A mother and her twin sons hide out, but the murders keep coming. Not as sharp as the first, still unsettling enough.

Two girls vanish, come back different, and all hell breaks loose. Ellen Burstyn returns, possession scenes get nasty, and the film tries to carry the weight of the original.

Pennywise in the sewers, red balloons floating, and kids trying to face their deepest fears. Part horror, part coming-of-age—Skarsgard’s clown grin is enough to haunt your dreams.
