7 Fresh (2022)

Caution: If you are at the grocery store and an attractive man starts to flirt with you over cotton candy grapes, get out of there. Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones stun in this black comedy that centers around a cannibal that sells human meat to wealthy individuals. Noa (Edgar-Jones) is the next victim in Brendan's (Stan) business, as he kidnaps her with the hopes of harvesting different body parts throughout the movie. Fresh is exactly that, a palate cleanser to the horror genre.

6 Ready or Not (2019)

Ready or Not is easily one of Samara Weaving's best roles, simply because of the range she has throughout the film; rage, fear, disappointment, and acceptance. CinemaBlend states that so far, there isn't a plan for a sequel to the successful horror film, but it is highly anticipated. Our main character, Grace, thinks she's marrying into any old family who has their own little quirks, but she's sadly mistaken. Once Grace draws the Hide and Seek card, she's quite literally hunted down by her new extended family. If you're a fan of female rage and final girl moments, this movie is for you.

ScreenRant states that Parasite was the first ever Korean film to win the award for Best Picture at the Oscars, where Bong Joon-ho made his iconic speech about subtitles. The plot follows the Kim family, who are lower class and live in a basement that constantly gets flooded when it rains harder than a sprinkle. And then they meet the Parks. From there, the family starts a scheme that would impress the biggest criminals, infiltrating the rich family's mansion and gradually gaining their trust to steal from them.

4 The Invitation (2015)

If you're into movies that have warm lighting and a vibe that might make you sick the longer you watch it, The Invitation is for you. Will accepts an invitation from his ex-wife for dinner, and once arriving, Will immediately notices the night is off to a weird start. Will and Eden used to have a child together, but he tragically died at a young age, leaving tension between the two. As the night goes on, it's revealed that the guests have joined a cult that centers around grief; Will feeling more and more disoriented as the night goes on. The cinematography and the fact that Will is mostly on his own throughout the night, adds to the entire horror aspect of it all.

3 Sorry to Bother You (2018)

While it's not a horror movie, Sorry to Bother You, written and directed by Boots Riley, deserves to be on this list. This film has elements that are borderline psychedelic, trippy, and slightly mind-melting. Cassius Green, played by LaKeith Stanfield, gets a job as a telemarketer, but once he realizes he's not making any moves, he decided to adopt a white accent. Danny Glover's character is actually the one to guide him in that direction, sharing the success of what changing his voice does for the calls. Things start to become very strange as Cash becomes more successful and he climbs the ranks of the company.

2 The Perfection (2018)

This underrated thriller from Netflix is the perfect addition to this list, as well as your watch list. The Perfection does everything right when it comes to a sickening thriller-horror film; Allison Williams and Logan Browning are stunning together. Their characters of Charlotte and Lizzie are both prodigies of the same man, Anton, who has a prestigious music academy that is secretly an underground sex abuse ring of young girls. After Charlotte and Lizzie have an intense first encounter that leaves Lizzie without a hand, they quickly come together to take down Anton once and for all.

1 Mother! (2017)

Paramount Pictures

Something great about horror movies is that they have the ability to make people feel all types of emotions. It's hard to pinpoint what one might feel while watching Mother!, but it's definitely intense. Jennifer Lawrence is Mother and Javier Bardem is Him, and the two take viewers on a very disorienting journey, as their home is constantly invaded by fans, cult members, and even the military. It'll leave you feeling hazy and full of unanswered questions by the time it's over.
