Huh... I thought we had a thread for just horror movies, but I guess not.
Anyway! I wish they had a better selection, but Netflix still gives me a chance to see horror movies. With how I am sometimes I need a break during a movie to calm down if it's really got me scared/disturbed, which is something you can't do if you see it in a theater.
People really don't seem to like and it's got a low rating, but I very much enjoyed the movie Creep. Yes, it's very predictable, but still good fun watching (then again I'm a sucker for found footage movies). The less is more approach with only two actors works very well. The "creep" in this story is unsettling from beginning to end with how he toys with the fellow who just wanted a quick job filming.
American Mary was always one I was curious about but there were no many "Nope" things I'd heard about. The film revolves around body modification and yet there were only a few points where I looked away. All except one of the "patients" is voluntary, but he totally deserves it. Great to see a horror flick with a powerful female lead.
Netflix only had the sequel, so I had to look elsewhere to see the first Grave Encounters film. It made me super uncomfortable because what happens is a film crew gets trapped inside a sentient asylum. No food, water, and stuff that's out to kill them makes for an uneasy viewing experience.
Last is Housebound, which I LOVED. Not really a horror flick, just a little creepy, and has some dark humor as well. A young lady is sent back to live with her mother and her boyfriend after being placed under house arrest and some odd things start to occur, but it may not actually be a ghost with malicious intent.
