Netflix Has The Scariest Movie Ever Made
The movie that tops Creepy Catalog’s list of the 34 scariest movies of all time is now streaming on Netflix.
Hereditary (2018) is director Ari Aster’s (Midsommar, Beau is Afraid) first movie. It follows a dysfunctional family who fracture in the wake of a series of tragic losses. The heavy emotions (which should have earned star Toni Collette an Oscar nomination) play off of well-executed jump scares and build up to a sinister finale unlike anything most movie fans have ever seen.
If you haven’t yet seen Hereditary, you won’t have to wait long for it to shock you. The first scary scene occurs only 30 minutes into the film. Not only is it shocking, but how the characters handle what happens is very upsetting and hard to sit through. Know that this is only setting the stage for even more horrifying moments to come.
It’s rare for Netflix to have truly scary horror movies on the service, so make plans to watch this standout while you can. Of the 34 scariest movies of all time, Hereditary will be the *only* one streaming on Netflix. (Though if you’d like suggestions: all of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix shows are elite, Creep (2014) and Creep 2 (2017) are top tier found footage horror movies, and The Wailing (2016) is one of the best horror movies of the 2010s). We also created this list of other movies that have the same vibe as Hereditary.
