#1 It Follows
Sure, this is qualified more as a thriller, but the premise will keep you up at night. The unknown and unseen curse passed on to a teenager and unravels more than just a scary scenario and how paranoia is enough to keep your heart racing.
#2 Get Out
This woke film is up for three Academay Award nominations this year. I can’t imagine a better movie to emphasize the ongoing realizations we have about race, discrimination, and privilege.
#3 The Witch
Here’s a movie with a simple story but with a complex, heart-stopping execution. You’ll sleep with the lights on for nights on end.
#4 The Silence of the Lambs
I have to throw in a classic in here and what’s better than the film which continues to be a pop culture reference. You’ve seen the new Google Alexa ad with Anthony Hopkins, right?
#5 Hereditary
A classic story about how our family secrets can be the darkest ones. You might start questions your relatives after this one so watch with caution.
