• Black Christmas: 7.2

During the Christmas break, a sorority house is busy planning exciting preparations while simultaneously fielding mysterious and unidentified phone calls. The calls, which at first appear to be unproblematic and unremarkable, start to raise concerns once they become more frequent.

After a member of their sorority by the name of Clare (Lynne Griffin) goes missing, the other members in the sorority report the incident to the authorities, but the authorities do not conduct an inquiry. A search for a serial killer is launched after the body of a little girl is discovered in a park in the area. This discovery eventually prompts the police to take action.

Bob Clark’s film from 1974, “The Babysitter and the Killer Upstairs,” which was inspired by the well-known urban legend about “the babysitter and the killer upstairs,” combines the joy of the holidays with a chilling thriller that has become a much-loved classic over the years.

• Drag Me To Hell: 6.5

Drag Me to Hell is a 2009 horror film that was directed by Sam Raimi, who is best known for creating and directing The Evil Dead trilogy. The film stars Allison Lohman and Justin Long. The main character of the film is a loan officer named Christine (Lohman) who is attempting to get a promotion that she feels she has earned even though it is not guaranteed to her. In order to demonstrate her value, she toughens up and turns down an elderly lady named Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) for an extension on her loan, which causes Mrs. Ganush to fly into a rage. The fact that Mrs. Ganush is such an extraordinary individual causes us to curse Christine for what she did.

Christine finds out that if she does not break the curse, she would be relegated to the underworld where she will remain for all of time. She seeks assistance from a local psychic while there’s still a chance of it working out. Drag Me to Hell is a terrifyingly entertaining trip that has some of the most effective jump scares ever conceived by Sam Raimi.

• Daybreakers: 6.4

In the year 2019, a mysterious disease has infected the majority of the world’s population, transforming its victims into vampires who feed on human blood. As a result of this spike, the blood supply has decreased, which has led to the newly created population of vampires becoming despondent. Ethan Hawke plays the role of Dr. Edward Dalton, a haematologist who is actually a vampire who is working on a solution to make a synthetic blood option that will rescue both humans and the population of vampires.

As the vampires devolve into repulsive animals, Dalton joins forces with a human survivor named Lionel Cormac (played by Willem Dafoe) in an effort to find a cure that will enable him to revert back to his human form. Daybreakers is a contemporary story about the conflict between humanity and vampires, and for some inexplicable reason, the film is regarded as being underappreciated.

• Sleepaway Camp: 6.3

Even though Sleepaway Camp is sometimes categorised as a low-budget horror film, it is a film that not only merits a spot on this list but also has the potential to be regarded as a timeless masterpiece. Why? The slasher film from 1983 has served as an inspiration for television programmes such as American Horror Story: 1984 and dozens of films that centre on the archetypal killer intent on killing teenagers.

The main character of Sleepaway Camp is a troubled young lady named Angela Baker (Felissa Rose), who has recently experienced the death of both of her parents. After moving in with her aunt, she decides to send her daughter Angela and her son Ricky (Jonathan Tiersten) to a summer camp. At first, this seems like a nice idea; nevertheless, strange occurrences begin to occur while they are there. The campers begin going missing one by one, and the revelation of who the murderer is comes as quite a surprise, to put it mildly. There’s a movie from the 1980s called Sleepaway Camp that’s so terrible, it’s actually pretty funny.

• My Friend Dahmer: 6.2

My Friend Dahmer is a horror drama released in 2017 that focuses on a young Jeffrey Dahmer during his high school years.

This version of Dahmer is awkward and introverted. This film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name written by John “Derf” Backderf, who attended the same high school as Jeffrey Dahmer in the past. Before he became the notorious serial killer known to the world today, the viewer is given an inside glimpse at what the notorious criminal was like in his younger years.

The movie builds up the suspense and focuses on what motivated Dahmer to become the monster he became as well as how he lived with the dynamic of his family, the children at school, and his macabre obsessions that got more unreachable as the movie progresses.

• Open Grave: 6.2

As the gang begins to piece together the circumstances that led them here, they come to the realisation that there is a threat among them, and that the person who may be responsible for bringing them together is a member of their own group. Open Grave is a low-key horror movie that features Sharlto Copley and Thomas Kretschmann, and it’s a gem that’s been hiding in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.

• Jigsaw: 5.8

The Saw film series has become well-known because to the fact that it is one of the longest-running horror series and due to the amount of bloodshed that John Kramer and his followers have caused during the course of the series. Following eight iterations and with a ninth on the horizon, the most current film, Jigsaw, has acquired a fanbase due to the fact that it features new as well as classic turns and twists during the course of the film.

The plot begins 10 years after John Kramer, played by Tobin Bell, has passed away; however, due to several recent fatalities, there is widespread conjecture that he may not have passed away after all. After a fresh group of people are kidnapped and forced to engage in a new game, the police are left in a state of confusion as they attempt to track down a purported new Jigsaw Killer before it is too late. Jigsaw is one of the best movies because it is positioned in the middle of the list, which is where it falls.
