The Empty Man (2020)
Upon its initial release, The Empty Man may have been overlooked, but it is definitely worth seeking out as it delivers scares from the intense opening scene all the way to the devastating conclusion. The film follows a former detective who is grappling with the loss of his wife and child while delving into the titular legend, leading to unexpected twists and frightening moments.
The Fly (1986)
In this more terrifying version of the 1958 film with the same title, Jeff Goldblum takes on the role of a scientist who creates a device capable of teleporting objects. However, he unwittingly merges with a fly during the process. The movie serves as both a horror and a tragic love story, featuring gruesome visuals that will leave a lasting impression on viewers.
#8. The Night House (2020)
The Night House seamlessly blends elements of the supernatural and the slasher genre, highlighted by an exceptional performance at its core.
7. The Omen (1976)
It is a challenge to properly portray juvenile creatures in films, but The Omen successfully accomplishes it. The deaths and numerous frights leave a lasting impression.
6. Jennifer’s Body (2009)
Despite its initial marketing failure, Jennifer’s Body has since gained a cult following. The film stars Megan Fox as the main character, a cheerleader who turns into a man-eating demon. With a focus on the toxic dynamics among female friends and the deaths of several teenage boys, this horror comedy is both clever and insightful.
5. Ready or Not (2019)
Despite the saturation of the “Eat the Rich”genre in media during 2019, Ready or Not manages to stand out with its extreme violence. The film’s humor, creative kills, and unexpected conclusion contribute to its success. The ensemble cast delivers a stellar performance, but it is Samara Weaving’s portrayal of the bride that solidifies her as a horror icon.
Upcoming Film: Barbarian (2022)
Make sure to avoid watching this movie before your next stay at an Airbnb. Despite being the most recent addition to this list, it has already left a lasting impression in the horror genre. Featuring unforgettable characters, a horrifying monster, and thrilling plot twists, Barbarian is undoubtedly the top horror film of the decade available on Disney+.
3. Predator
If you are afraid of a relentless killer monster that appears to be unstoppable, then The Predator is the perfect film for you. Taking place in Guatemala, the story follows a man’s straightforward objective that quickly becomes complicated when the monstrous being starts to strike. However, the protagonists are equally as fearless and unyielding, resulting in an excellent combination of science fiction terror and thrilling action.
The Sixth Sense (1999)
Despite M. Night Shyamalan later being known for less successful films, he initially created one of the most notable ghost movies in history. Bruce Willis’ performance is top-notch, while Haley Joel Osment delivers an exceptional performance as a child. The famous twist, although widely known now, still has a powerful impact and will not be revealed here to avoid spoiling it.
1. Alien (1979)
The reason why this movie is ranked number one on this list is perfectly encapsulated by the famous quote, “In space, no one can hear you scream.”Not only does it feature one of the most iconic horror villains in history, but it also boasts a talented cast and expertly builds tension. Furthermore, all of the Alien films are currently available on Disney+, making it a perfect choice for a xenomorph marathon.
