Sean, played by Simon Pegg, finds himself in a rut when the film begins, taking a dead-end job and being dumped by his girlfriend. But it all takes a back seat when he and his friend Ed (Nick Frost) discover that a zombie apocalypse is right around the corner from them. You can eat this hilariously brutal masterpiece again and again.
IFC film
This Finnish creature movie is straight out of a feathery nightmare. This flick introduces Tinja, a 12-year-old girl who discovers a strange egg that hatches into a giant bird. The terrifying creature stands in stark contrast to her family’s expectations of perfection. You can take a look and come to your own conclusions.
Sundance Institute
Brandon Cronenberg (son of horror filmmaker David Cronenberg) wrote and directed, you guessed it, this film about possession. Dark Flick follows an assassin (Andrea Riseborough) who takes control of a stranger’s body to execute his target. When her mission fails, she is knocked out of the pilot’s seat. If you like all things sci-fi and horror, dare you watch this.

While not an outright horror movie, Thelma is a powerful supernatural thriller that deserves its place on this list of the best. A young woman entered college and befriended her fellow students. It soon becomes apparent that she has powers beyond her control. This stunning and haunting Norwegian coming-of-age film is a must-see.
Hulu
If you think you’re incredibly talented, can not see The Killing Machine is terrifying, but you may have seen a few scenes of Prey through your fingers. This addition to the Predator franchise takes place in the 300-year-old Comanche tribe and centers around a young warrior named Naru.
