The premise is obviously dynamite, following a group of passengers on a train across South Korea just as a zombie outbreak begins, but it\u2019s the execution that really made this film a classic. It\u2019s undoubtedly a horror movie, but by way of some of the most impressive action filmmaking of the 2010s, and an incredible physical performance from Korean action legend Ma Dong-seok \u2014 who spends half the movie punching zombies off the train. All of this makes for not just one of the best zombies movies in recent memory but also one of the most fun and unique horror movies of any subgenre. \u2014<em>Austen Goslin <\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">The Ritual <\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/the-best-horror-to-watch-on-netflix-this-february-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Director:<\/strong> David Bruckner<br \/><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Grief is a funny thing. It can just as surely bring people together as it can tear them apart. Such is the case in <em>The Ritual<\/em>; both figuratively <em>and<\/em> literally. Following the tragic death of their friend, four college pals reunite to embark on an excursion through the Scandinavian wilderness in honor of their memory. Tensions mount as the group find themselves beset by supernatural forces beyond their comprehension, tearing open old wounds and setting them against one another as some greater malevolent force ensnares them in its inscrutable designs. <em>The Ritual<\/em> is a terrific Euro-horror thriller with striking visuals and an absolutely barn-burner of an ending. What\u2019s in the forest? Only what you take with you. <em>\u2014Toussaint Egan<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">His House<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/the-best-horror-to-watch-on-netflix-this-february-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Director:<\/strong> Remi Weekes<br \/><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Wunmi Mosaku, Sope Dirisu, Matt Smith<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Gangs of London<\/em>\u2019s Sope Dirisu and <em>Lovecraft Country<\/em>\u2019s Wunmi Mosaku star in this supernatural horror thriller as Bol and Rial, a Sudanese couple seeking asylum in Britain.
