My Personal Favorite Top 3 Horror Movies on Netflix

Out of all the genres that exist, horror is the one that I am most drawn to. While most of the films on this list are my favorites, the three below are at the top.

28 Years Later

28 Years Later is not just about seeing humans trying to survive the infected, but it is also about living in a world that will never let you feel free. The rare thing about the film is that it shows an entire generation growing up in a world where quarantine zones, abandoned cities, and fear hold a firm place. Unlike the majority of zombie franchises out there, 28 Years Later brings several new elements to the table. So, if you want to get familiar with a story that will stay with you for a long time, 28 Years Later is a must-watch.

Fear Street Trilogy

Fear Street Trilogy is one such film series that holds a special place in my heart. Being a horror fanatic, I always stay on the lookout for movies that offer different experiences. I mean, sometimes horror doesn’t mean supernatural; instead, it can be a slasher that comes with a deeply moving story. And Fear Street Trilogy is exactly the same. With each film, we are taken back in time, and the killers who seemed random at the start eventually make more sense as the story unfolds slowly.

Gerald’s Game

Now, this is one of the most unique and intriguing psychological horrors I have watched to date. Well, the special thing about this film is that it doesn’t seem to be a horror story on the surface; it feels like a survival story. But if you look closely, it is indeed a horror film that isn’t loud or filled with jump scares, but here, the fear comes in the form of silence and hallucinations. So, if you are more into psychological horror than supernatural horror, this movie deserves a spot on your watchlist.

  • Why should you watch it: While other zombie movies focus on the horde of these monsters chasing the protagonists, #Alive takes a rather unique approach. It focuses on the loneliness,s hunger, and depression that each survivor must feel, especially if they are alone.

So, we get to see a family’s struggle to exist in a world where even a single whisper can push you to the verge of death.

Author - 21 Author - 22 Author - 23 Author - 24 Author - 25 Author - 26 Author - 27 TV Shows like Stranger Things - 28

Stranger Things is over; yeah, it’s really over. The final episode of Season 5 has just arrived on Netflix, and boy, it was surely an exciting journey. And now that it is over, fans may find it hard to move on from the brilliance of Hawkins and the Upside Down. Well, if you’re in the same boat of sadness, here are some other TV shows like Stranger Things you should watch now.

1. Dark

Dark poster - 29

Image Credit: Wiedemann & Berg Television (via Amazon)

  • Release Date: December 1, 2017
  • Director: Baran bo Odar
  • Cast: Jonas Gerzabek, Louis Hofmann, Andreas Pietschmann, Dietrich Hollinderbäumer, Ella Lee, Maja Schöne, Lena Urzendowsky, Angela Winkler
  • Seasons/Episodes: 3/26
  • IMDb/Rotten Ratings: 8.7/95%

Dark might seem different from Stranger Things on the surface, but if you dig deeper, you might discover why we chose it for this list. It is a small town mystery, with missing children driving the plot. On the other hand, like the Upside Down mirrors Hawkins in Dark, you will see different realities existing in layers.

Dark revolves around four interconnected families, who are connected to each other across multiple generations. After a child goes missing, a hidden passage is discovered beneath the caves of the town of Winden. The series shows that a generation’s past sins are never buried; they are simply passed on to the next.

2. Fringe

Fringe poster - 30

Image Credit: Warner Bros. Television (via Amazon)

  • Release Date: September 9, 2008
  • Director: J. J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci
  • Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Kirk Acevedo, Blair Brown, Jasika Nicole, Mark Valley, Seth Gabel
  • Seasons/Episodes: 5/100
  • IMDb/Rotten Ratings: 8.4/91%

Now, you might love seeing Dustin talking about Parallel Universes, time, and every other sci-fi mumbo-jumbo. Well, you’ll see that all of that is discussed in Fringe. This show revolves around unexplained crimes linked to advanced science. In the show, they call it the “fringe science.”

Overall, Fringe is a TV show like Stranger Things that will surprise with its complexity, and of course, with its several alternate dimensions that ultimately threaten humanity. Sure, you don’t get a band of kids fighting off the inter-dimensional threat, but you still get amazing characters like Olivia Dunham, Walter Bishop, and his son Peter.

3. The Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy poster - 31

Image Credit: Dark Horse Entertainment (via Amazon)

  • Release Date: February 15, 2019
  • Director: Jeremy Webb, Paco Cabezas, Peter Hoar
  • Cast: Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Mary J. Blige, Cameron Britton, John Magaro
  • Seasons/Episodes: 4/36
  • IMDb/Rotten Ratings: 7.8/78%

The Umbrella Academy may not be as popular as Stranger Things, but believe me, it’s an awesome show that features some amazing band of characters. In Stranger Things, we have one or two superhero kids, and in The Umbrella Academy, every character has some sort of superpower.

The film centers around the Hargreeves siblings, who reunite after the death of their adoptive father. Each one of them has some ability, and one way or another, the siblings are dragged into tackling issues like alternate timelines and the end of the world. Of course, The Umbrella Academy might’ve disappointed many of us fans in the end, but if you can digest an underwhelming end, it’s for sure an amazing show to watch.

4. Alice In Borderland

Alice in Borderland poster - 32

  • Release Date: February 15, 2019
  • Director: Shinsuke Sato
  • Cast: Kento Yamazaki, Tao Tsuchiya, Nijirō Murakami, Ayaka Miyoshi, Aya Asahina, Dori Sakurada, Sho Aoyagi, Riisa Naka
  • Seasons/Episodes: 3/22
  • IMDb/Rotten Ratings: 7.8/78%

Honestly, if you have Netflix and you still haven’t watched Alice in Borderland, then you are seriously missing out on one of the best TV shows like Stranger Things. Alice in Borderland is a Japanese show that centers on a group of people stuck in what we’ll call an alternate dimension. These people have to take part in a variety of deadly games to make it out alive.

Yeah, in a way, Alice in Borderland is a mix of Squid Game and Stranger Things. But of course, don’t expect to see any flesh-eating monsters in this one. Still, the mystery around Borderland and the people running this place is as great as the mystery of Upside Down .

5. Archive 81

Archive 81 poster - 33

Image Credit: Atomic Monster (via Netflix)

  • Release Date: January 14, 2022
  • Director: Shinsuke Sato
  • Cast: Mamoudou Athie, Dina Shihabi, Evan Jonigkeit, Julia Chan, Ariana Neal, Matt McGorry, Martin Donovan
  • Seasons/Episodes: 1/8
  • IMDb/Rotten Ratings: 7.3/87%

Compared to Stranger Things, Archive 81 is a slow-burning horror that leans more towards a serious side. The show is basically Dan Turner, who is trying to restore the videotapes recorded by Melody Pendras. The events recorded in these videotapes lead Turner on a mystery hunt where he comes across threats like alternate dimensions, occult rituals, and a cult.

Sure, Archive 81 may take some time to grab your interest, but once it does, you stay in it until you see it to the very end. It not only entertains you with a variety of characters, but it also questions you on every stage by making you question what’s real or not.

Well, the best part of his vision was that he didn’t make the creature seem like a mere horror; instead, he allowed us to see the creature’s human side.

A Knives Out Mystery film never disappoints, and Wake Up Dead Man raised everyone’s expectations from the franchise even more. Unlike the previous instalments, this one comes with a more serious and intriguing plot. On top of everything, Daniel Craig’s Blanc has evolved more than ever and appears as a fully realised detective in Wake Up Dead Man.

The story of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery kicks off with the murder of a religious leader in a small upstate New York church.

Instead of just being a parody of KPop, it features behind-the-scenes, idol training, stage personas, and everything in the most subtle way. Above all, we also see the lead protagonists dealing with the supernatural while maintaining their normal lives.

Kpop Demon Hunters follow a girl group, who are Kpop idols during the day and trained demon hunters at night. They have taken on the responsibility of protecting the human world from the demonic threats that emerge from time to time.

Bring Her Back is one of those horror movies that depends on cheap jump scares. Instead, it makes the horror feel personal wth the unsettling setting and the uneasy silences. Besides that, it features a slow-burning story that rewards those who unapologetically stick to it until the very end.

Andy and Piper are placed in the care of a foster mother, Laura, after the death of their father. As the story moves forward, Laura is seen desperate to bring her dead daughter back to life. So, she decides to use blind Piper as a vessel.
