Having a hard time deciding which horror film/series to watch for your horror marathon? There’s a ton of horror treats streaming on Netflix; whether it may be a slasher movie classic or a binge-worthy frightfest of a series. 

Here's our horror picks currently available on Netflix.

If you’re in for a sci-fi expedition with a badass female cast, the director of “Ex Machina” Alex Garland offers you a thrilling eye-opener of a film.

The story follows biologist and former soldier Lena (Natalie Portman) as she joins a mission to unravel the mystery of her husband’s disappearance. Together with a group of explorers, they enter Area X—a quarantined zone of mutated landscapes and creatures, undiscovered and dangerous. 

Despite the film’s box office not meeting expectations, the film maximizes its low budget to deliver a visceral experience. The film doesn’t rely on explosive action sequences but rather its ambiguity, and themes of self-destruction, mutation, and salvation. It's also one of those thought-provoking sci-fi thrillers with the likes of “Arrival” and “10 Cloverfield Lane.”

A couple’s kinky sex game gone wrong turns into the wife hallucinating strange visions which tie in with her traumatic past.

Based on the 1992 novel by Stephen King and directed by Mike Flanagan, the story follows married couple Jessie (Carla Gugino) and Gerald Burlingame (Bruce Greenwood) as they spend their holiday at an isolated rest house. During their sex game, Gerald dies from a sudden heart attack and Jessie is left handcuffed to the bed without a key in her reach. She fights for her survival as she reminisces her trauma and faces her inner demons. 

Apart from being a horror film, it also depicts one’s process of healing from trauma. A chance to move forward with one’s life means to fight hindrances. Something that frightens doesn’t necessarily have to be a creature or a demon, it can be a person whose actions shape who they truly are.

A fan of found footage horror? This one centers on a videographer as he gets creeped out by the bizarre client who hired him. 

In his directorial and acting debut, Patrick Brice plays videographer Aaron who stumbles upon a job opportunity to document the days of Josef (Mark Duplass) located at a remote cabin. Throughout his unconventional experiences, Aaron uncovers Josef’s true motivation as to why he hired him. 

Jump scares are apparent in found footage horror films and makes this technique overused and sometimes bland. However, “Creep” stands out from the sub-genre and embraces the oddity of the character Josef. The film is clever enough to have a solid story and utilizes the setting as a tool for scare tactics and ambiguities. 

Taking the babysitter trope in quite a different spin, this horror comedy embraces its camp and pays homage to the slasher genre.

When Cole (Judah Lewis) decides to stay up past his bedtime, he discovers his hot babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving) and her friends are a part of a satanic cult. Soon after, he is hunted by Bee and her friends to be offered to the Devil for their cult.

The film being self-aware with the usual horror tropes makes this stand out as a decent horror comedy offering from Netflix. It’s enjoyable at best and doesn’t hold back with not taking itself too seriously. 

Fans of the Evil Dead franchise get a chance to see Ash Williams once more battling with Deadites and going back to his demon-killing ways.

Set 30 years after the first three “Evil Dead” films, resident slasher hero Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) works as a stock boy at a supermarket. After the events of the 1992 film “Army of Darkness” and returning from 1300 AD, Ash doesn’t seem to get his life on track. But, a call to action and becoming a hero once more after the Necromonicon (the Book of the Dead) returns and falls to the wrong hands. 

The original Evil Dead trilogy is legendary in their own right. The series continues on what made the franchise great. It embraces the humor, honors the legacy of the characters and mythos, and opens new doors for likable characters we get to know and love. With a mix of entertaining humor and satisfying gore, this is a must-see for horror fans in general.

'The Conjuring Universe' expands its lore with a prequel to the Annabelle solo film and takes us back to the early beginnings of the terrifying doll.

From director David F. Sandberg (“Lights Out,” “Shazam!”) comes a couple who embedded their deceased daughter’s spirit into Annabelle. A couple of years later, they open their home for an orphanage to a nun and six orphan girls. The secret behind the Annabelle doll eventually haunts whoever gets in its way. 

A significant improvement from the first “Annabelle” film, this prequel lays more groundwork towards focusing on the characters and backstory, rather than an emphasis on world building. Sandberg directs some good amount of scares that move the plot forward and not rely on it too much. The overall atmosphere of the home where the characters stay in already gives a sense of ambiguity and fear. Sandberg utilizes the setting and makes it as a character in the story. 

Check this one out if you’re having doubts about the “Annabelle” solo films. This one’s an improvement.
