You\u2019ve already watched every available episode of Wednesday<\/a>\u2014and every installment of Trainwreck too. Keep the frights flowing with the 10 best horror movies<\/a> streaming on Netflix<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre <\/p>\n

If the recent trailer for the documentary Chain Reactions<\/a> gave you a longing to revisit Tobe Hooper\u2019s 1974 classic, Netflix has you covered. Just make sure you click on the original, giving the 2022 made-for-Netflix remake<\/a> the widest berth possible. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barbarian <\/p>\n

Three years ago, actor-turned-writer-director Zack Cregger released his solo feature debut and\u2014once fans took notice\u2014became a bona fide member of the horror A-list. Weapons is proof of that. And even if you know the strange places Barbarian\u00a0travels after setting up its tale of an Airbnb rental gone awry, it\u2019s a film that rewards the repeat viewer. Not just for all the Justin Long scenes, but they\u2019re part of it. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Talk to Me <\/p>\n

Speaking of Trainwreck, did you spot one of the twin directors of Talk to Me<\/a> (and this year\u2019s Bring Her Back) in the \u201cStorm Area 51\u201d episode? That same manic YouTube energy propels this tale of teens who take a party game involving a severed hand with possession powers a little too far\u2014but Talk to Me is also infused with slow-burn dread that creeps under your skin as you\u2019re watching. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Us <\/p>\n

Jordan Peele<\/a>\u2018s next directorial effort isn\u2019t coming until next year, and while we have no idea what it\u2019s about, his track record of Get Out, Us, and Nope assures a unique nightmare awaits. This 2019 entry beckons you to take a little trip to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, where the mirrors of the fun house reveal a secret about humanity that\u2019s long overdue to be let out. Featuring a dual performance by Lupita Nyong\u2019o that really should\u2019ve gotten more<\/a> awards attention. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watcher <\/p>\n

In 2022\u2014between starring in It Follows and Longlegs\u2014Maika Monroe made another horror thriller that didn\u2019t get as much attention, and that\u2019s unfortunate because it\u2019s very well-crafted<\/a>. Watcher follows a woman who moves to Bucharest with her husband, who\u2019s from there, for his new job. Left alone in an unfamiliar country where she doesn\u2019t speak the language, she becomes obsessed with a neighbor who seems to spend his days staring into her window. Adding to the menace, there also happens to be a serial killer on the loose. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jaws <\/p>\n

Is Jaws a horror movie? It is if you consider the shark-adjacent PTSD that haunts anyone who dares swim in the ocean soon after watching it. If you haven\u2019t yet spent time on Amity Island this summer in honor of this Spielberg classic\u2019s 50th anniversary<\/a>, there are still a few more days before Labor Day to dive in. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Creep <\/p>\n

Found footage reaches freaky new heights in this collaboration between Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass. Brice directs, they wrote the script together, and they both star in a story that follows a videographer lured to the remote home of a man who claims to want a record of his life before he dies of a brain tumor. Of course, that\u2019s absolutely not his motivation at all in this aptly titled indie. Watch on Netflix.<\/a><\/p>\n

Train to Busan and Peninsula <\/p>\n

Thanks to Netflix, you can watch both Train to Busan (watch on Netflix<\/a>) and its standalone sequel, Peninsula (watch on Netflix<\/a>). That American remake<\/a> may never happen, which gives zombie fans all the more reason to celebrate the original\u2014about a father and daughter caught on a train as the outbreak takes over\u2014and its even more bonkers follow-up, set some time after humanity has learned to coexist (sort of) with the undead.<\/p>\n

May the Devil Take You <\/p>\n

Before he directed Bob Odenkirk as an everydude action hero in Nobody 2, Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto was best known for his horror films\u2014including this 2018 entry about a woman who unearths some seriously Satanic family secrets when she\u2019s summoned home (a deeply creepy haunted place) to visit her very ill father. Watch on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n
