25. Train to Busan

Cast – Gong Yoo, Ma Dong-seok, Jung Yu-mi

Best Horror Movies on Netflix India: Sang-Ho Yeon absolutely exploits the “Contained Thriller” genre in this Korean apocalyptic zombie thriller, set in a moving train from Seoul to Busan as a zombie outbreak simultaneously takes place outside. It’s the perfect set-up for exhilarating thrills and fast-paced action, along with some family melodrama. The film is light on narrative themes but does touch upon the idea of selflessness in dire situations.

Strong side-characters are introduced, without much exposition but with full impact, as our lead character and his daughter scramble to save themselves from the vicious onslaught. It’s not just another zombie movie; it is a fast-paced, action-packed full-on entertainment flick. – Kaushal Munshi

20. Zombieland: Double Tap

Director – Ruben Fleischer
Cast – Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone

Zombieland: Double Tap directed by Ruben Fleischer is an exemplary example of an unnecessary sequel that ended up being agreeable for what it is. A diverting 60 minutes forty-minute film secured by a beguiling cast, a couple of hilarious comedic bits, and clever action scenes. Despite the fact that the negatives didn’t make this film as immaculate as the first, it is as yet watchable in case you’re willing to shut down your brain for the night, kick back, and appreciate with a receptive outlook.

Cast – Kaya Scodelario & Barry Pepper

During a massive hurricane, a woman goes back to check on her father but gets trapped there when alligators from a nearby gator farm escape. On the bright side, the movie contains moderate amounts of suspense and horror that build up a lot of anticipation for the scary scenes where the gators attack people. Crawl was a good watch and great to pass the time. – Zoha Junaid (zohasreviews)

16. The Conjuring 2

Director – James Wan
Cast – Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson

A tactful James Wan venture which was termed scarier than its prequel, Conjuring 2 was admittedly a level setter for future horror movies. Though the real story of the Enfield poltergeist is much more interesting than the movie, the film was successful in receiving positive reviews from critics and grossed over $320 million worldwide. The actors including Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga and Madison Wolfe have performed extraordinarily and the frequent creepy scenes keep you on your toes the whole time. – Nikitha Kashyap

15. IT (2017)

Director – David F. Sandberg
Cast – Stephen Lang, Jane Levy

Next on the list of the One of the Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime India, directed by Andrés Muschietti, IT, headlined by the most complex iconic super-villain ‘Pennywise – The Dancing Clown’ is a 2017 psychological-horror-thriller which was not an example of a stereotypical horror film.

Wherein we get a bunch of jump-scares or a creepy old grandma lurking in the background. It is the definition of how a horror/thriller should be made by establishing the characters and the storyline and at the same time giving us an equal amount of scares to a point where you just feel uncomfortable with everything happening on-screen. – Surya Komal

14. Annabelle: Creation

Director – David F. Sandberg
Cast – Talitha Bateman, Stephanie Sigman

Being called much better than it’s predecessor, Annabelle: Creation is the fourth instalment in The Conjuring Universe but not necessarily similar, because it adds so much more intensity and thrill to the plot which was not quite adequate in the previous ones. If you want to experience the spooky jitters of a well-presented horror movie or are interested in knowing Annabelle’s actual origin, then this is the ideal movie to watch. – Nikitha Kashyap

13. Don’t Breathe

Director – Fede Alvarez
Cast – Stephen Lang, Jane Levy

Directed by Fede Alvarez, Don’t Breathe is, without a doubt, one of the best directed and presented horror films of the last decade. With characters that are partially developed and a central theme based around claustrophobia, Don’t Breathe takes chances and captivates you as a viewer from the beginning till the end. It is a movie that I would recommend more for the direction rather than the story and the characters. One of the Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime India. – Surya Komal

12. 13B

11. Oculus

Director – Mike Flanagan
Cast – Karen Gillan, Katee Sackhoff

Oculus directed by Mike Flanagan, is based on a young woman who believes that a supernatural force existing in an antique mirror is responsible for all the terrible incidents that have happened in her family. Two plotlines are explained in parallel and the confusing blend makes it all the more interesting. A visual treat and definitely a mind-bending thriller. One of the Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime India.

10. Evil Dead (2013)

Director – Fede Alvarez
Cast – Various

Fede Alvarez’s is a decent remake of the 80s horror classic of the same name as the narrative is compelling from start to finish. More brutal and nightmarish in its approach and execution is an entertaining film if horror is your thing. The background score was promising and the directorial job by Alvarez is decent for the most part. A decent watch and one of the Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime India.

9. Doctor Sleep

Director – Mike Flanagan
Cast – Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson

Lauded for his work on last year’s critically acclaimed and widely popular Netflix Original Haunting of the Hill House, Mike Flanagan is arguably one of the best horror film directors working in Hollywood right now. His upcoming release, Doctor Sleep will serve as the sequel to the 1980 horror masterpiece, The Shining, directed by the mastermind Stanley Kubrick.

Doctor Sleep explores the life of an adult Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor), a man with psychic powers who struggles with alcoholism. With his sublime technical prowess and the ability to tell a captivating story with the right amount of scares, Flanagan delivered the best product, as Doctor Sleep is one of the Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime India.

Cast – Taylor Russell, Deborah Ann Woll

Inspired by Saw and multiple other survival and problem-solving films, Adam Robitel’s Escape Room follows the course of six random strangers who find their way in an escape room, in return for a ten grand cash prize. Although the movie comes nowhere near the entertaining movies in this genre, it is not entirely disappointing either as it is entertaining at times. – Surya Komal

With well-shot action scenes, some decent drama and performances from the cast, and a climax which concluded the film on a high note, World War Z is a worthy watch on any given weekend.
