Each of these made me question whether watching alone was such a good idea.
I watched them all straight through, no pauses, eyes glued until the credits rolled. There are better horror films outside or even inside Netflix’s catalog, but these five are currently available and among the most effective. So plan your watchlist—and if you’ve seen them already, see how our picks match up.
