Then put out all your lights and find a cozy retreat to keep you safe from the monsters on the other side.
Let’s dive into the world of horror with these movies-
1. Pizza
Karthik Subbaraj has yet again proved his potential with this blockbuster of a film in the most difficult genre i.e. horror. Michael, a pizza delivery boy, lives with Anu, an aspiring horror fiction writer. One day, while delivering food, he goes to a bungalow where mysterious events begin to take place.
2. Tumbbad
Sohum Shah plays a lead with very good acting and shows her perfection in every step. Tumbbad is a perfect example of a film that creates a surreal illusion. This psychological horror has its traditional moments of blood and gore, but the most promising part of this terrifying fable is that it makes monsters out of ordinary men. A greedy human can be a lot more malicious than a cursed supernatural entity.
3. The House Next Door
The house next door packs quite a punch on its own accord. Director Milind Rau does a good job as a director and keeps the story and screenplay very gripping and intense. This one is one of those Indian horror movies that match up to the standard of Hollywood horror flicks and the psychological tricks it employs as well to keep the audience hooked to the screen. The story is based on the desperate need to have a male child and to what extent a man would go, to achieve this goal. He is ready to sacrifice his own daughter. But is it worth it?Â
4. Pari
Horror in Hindi silver screen throughout the years has differed assumptions appended to it, the most unmistakable ones being awful prosthetic cosmetics combined with creaky entryway commotions. In this way, for once, you could gladly rest those presumptions in light of the fact that Anushka Sharma’s ‘Pari’ stands apart on those checks.
5.13-B
Yavarum Nalam titled 13B in Hindi is a 2009 bilingual (Tamil-Hindi) psychological horror film written and directed by Vikram Kumar, starring Madhavan and Neetu Chandra in the lead roles. The film revolves around a mysterious TV show that mirrors and reveals what will happen in the protagonist’s family’s life that day. Everything is great–lighting, sound, etc. The plot is fascinating and the unraveling of the story behind the TV serial’s characters is eye-popping! The violent flashbacks and disturbed characters leaves the viewers horrified!
6. Stree
Stree is a horror-comedy on the surface. But it can also be treated as a satire, that takes very intelligent digs in a subtle way at certain ideologies of our society. The story does have its loopholes, but what makes up for it is the brillant dialogues. Rarely have I seen a film that made me guffaw and feel terrified at the same time. The jokes are crazy and bizarre, but certainly not stupid and flat.
7. Ratsaasan
Ratsaasan is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language psychological crime thriller film directed by Ram Kumar. The film features Vishnu Vishal and Amala Paul, with Vinodhini Vaidyanathan and Ramdoss playing supporting roles. The film tells the story of an aspiring film director who becomes a police officer after his father’s death and tries to track down a serial killer.
We have chosen the best of the lot for you to chill without having to scroll through endless reviews and search for the perfect thriller. Go ahead and finish the checklist making sure you’ve covered everything.
