2) It Comes At Night By "It," the title likely means nightmares. But if those nightmares aren't actually fake, well, then what are they? A24's art house horror flick is a must-see. A24
3) The Vvitch The Vvitch ("witch" in Jacobean era spelling ) works because it digs into the origins of American horror: folktale and paranoia from a God-worshipping, Satan-fearing people. Every frame looks like a beautiful and ominous oil painting. Netflix
4) The Evil Dead See the blurb? Stephen King called the movie "the most ferociously original horror film of the year." What more convincing do you need? Renaissance Pictures
5) Green Room This super low-budget horror flick features a punk rock band hunted down by neo-Nazis. Don't mistake "low budget" for not scary. Plus: Patrick Stewart. A24

11) Coraline If Coraline terrified you as a child, don't worry; it will still terrify you as an adult. Focus Features

14) Apostle From The Raid director, Gareth Evans, Apostle follows a man a remote island cult. Netflix

16) Creep Another found footage horror installment from the Paranormal Activity producers, Creep is a smarter and more rewarding take on the genre. This is not the Mark Duplass you've seen in The League. Path
17) Creep 2 And another one. And maybe even better. Path

27) Velvet Buzzsaw While more satire than horror, Velvet Buzzsaw still retains many tropes of its genre, while also bending and twisting them to make grander statements about art. Yeah, it's one of those movies. Netflix
28) Tusk For more art house-like horror, there's Tusk, a story about a man transformed into a walrus. Directed by Kevin Smith . This movie is...bizarre! Fair warning! A24
29) The Golem Based on the Jewish legend similar to Frankenstein, but featuring a creepy child. Epic Pictures Group
