Set in 1905, it opens with addled addict Thomas (<em>Legion<\/em> and <em>The Guest<\/em> star Dan Stevens) getting a letter that says his sister is being held prisoner by a cult on a distant island. So he fakes his way into what looks like a quaint religious community, but is actually the kind of place where people routinely leave bowls of their own blood in front of their doors at night and something is audibly crawling around under the floorboards. Tense, gory, and in places almost ludicrously over-the-top, <em>Apostle <\/em>has a lot to say about the nature of religious fanaticism, both for the obedient flocks doing whatever their leader says God wants, and for the manipulators that weaponize whoever they can find who\u2019s willing to be led. But this isn\u2019t just <em>Wicker Man<\/em> redux \u2014 it\u2019s a creative, relentless spin on the same idea, leading to its own unique horrors. <em>\u2014Tasha Robinson<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Army of the Dead<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix-right-now-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Any movie where a team of misfits, led by Dave Bautista, has to rob a Las Vegas vault is automatically great. <em>Army of the Dead<\/em> adds zombies to the equation. The movie takes place in a near future in which a deadly virus creates zombies, but the outbreak ends up contained inside Las Vegas, which becomes infected territory. This is among the biggest and loudest heist movies on this list, blending the zombie-killing of later Resident Evil movies with all the tension of safe cracking. The real key to this movie\u2019s greatness and fun, though, is Bautista, who is without question the most interesting and sensitive of the giant-man action stars. He counterbalances the bombastic premise with genuine heart and is endlessly watchable as a zombie-killing, one-man army. \u2014<em>Austen Goslin<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vawA95\">Cam<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix-right-now-3.jpg\" alt=\"Madeline Brewer&nbsp;as Alice&nbsp;covered in glitter in Cam.\" title=\"Madeline Brewer&nbsp;as Alice&nbsp;covered in glitter in Cam.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Netflix\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Madeline Brewer stars in Daniel Goldhaber\u2019s <em>Cam<\/em> as Alice, an ambitious camgirl trying desperately to reach the coveted number one spot of the site she streams for.

As Alice fights to regain control of her show and expose the identity of her impersonator, she\u2019ll have to deal with the consequences of her offline and online identities blurring into one. <em>Cam<\/em> is a chilling psychological horror that leaves the audience wondering at every turn how, if at all, its heroine will manage to overcome and survive the horrors that assail her life. <em>\u2014Toussaint Egan<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"26e5kU\">Creep &amp; Creep 2<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix-right-now-4.jpg\" alt=\"Creep 2 - Mark Duplass holds a necklace\" title=\"Creep 2 - Mark Duplass holds a necklace\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: The Orchard\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leave it to indie darling Mark Duplass and his regular collaborator Patrick Brice (<em>The Overnight<\/em>) to keep the found-footage horror movie kickin\u2019 15 years after <em>The Blair Witch Project<\/em>.

The legendary indie filmmaker\u2019s take on the genre is full of unsurprisingly offbeat jokes, bizarre plot points, and far more heart than you might be expecting. Alongside Jarmusch\u2019s excellent script, <em>The Dead Don\u2019t Die <\/em>also sports an unreal cast that includes Tom Waits, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, RZA, Carol Kane, Tilda Swinton, Iggy Pop, Selena Gomez, Austin Butler, and more \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jCZKm194K_E\">Adam Driver giving one of the funniest line readings of his entire career<\/a>. \u2014<em>AG<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hereditary<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix-right-now-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Over the past decade, arguably no other filmmaker has had a more consequential role in establishing what a so-called \u201cA24 movie\u201d looks and feels like than Ari Aster. Alongside films like <em>Moonlight<\/em> and<em> Uncut Gems<\/em>, Aster\u2019s 2018 feature debut <em>Hereditary<\/em> is a touchstone in the aesthetic trifecta of what audiences expect from the \u201cbrand\u201d that is A24.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Toni Collette stars in the psychological horror film as Annie, a miniature artist and mother of two who is grieving the death of her mother, Ellen. Not long after the funeral, Annie\u2019s family is hit with a second inexplicable tragedy, one that threatens to tear them apart and usher forth a darkness unlike anything they could have ever imagined. Macabre, unsettling, and pitch-black in its occasional comedicism, <em>Hereditary<\/em> was the highest-grossing film ever produced by A24 until the release of <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>. All that being said, you\u2019ve likely already seen it, but even if you have, it\u2019s a film worthy of rewatching and reappraising on the merit of its production quality and editing alone. \u2014<em>TE<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"VtnKWa\">His House<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix-right-now-7.jpg\" alt=\"A terrified Black man sits in a foggy orange landscape, with looming shadowy figures in the background\" title=\"A terrified Black man sits in a foggy orange landscape, with looming shadowy figures in the background\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Aidan Monaghan\/Netflix\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>His House <\/em>turns the trials of immigration into a shock-filled ghost story. <em>Gangs of London<\/em>\u2019s Sope Dirisu and <em>Lovecraft Country<\/em>\u2019s Wunmi Mosaku play a Sudanese couple seeking asylum in Britain, where they encounter supportive but not exactly friendly social workers (including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/house-of-the-dragon\"><em>House of the Dragon<\/em><\/a> star Matt Smith) who can\u2019t accept that the home they\u2019ve been given is haunted.

The death especially weighs on Luke (<em>Prometheus<\/em>\u2019 Rafe Spall), whose drunken belligerence put his buddy in harm\u2019s way in the first place. Luke is also the member of the group who realizes that, after discovering a wooden deer altar in an abandoned house along their unadvised detour, the group is being haunted by more than memories. Like a unique mix of Euro-horror and <em>The Hills Have Eyes<\/em>, <em>The Ritual <\/em>twists a familiar journey with creature-feature instincts to keep the genre fresh. \u2014<em>MP<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">Thanksgiving<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix-right-now-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">First, a word of caution.
