You follow the story of the clown mystery, Pennywise, who comes back to the town of Derry, Maine after 27 years. He haunts the entire town, and you follow the lives of the seven protagonists who face the worst nightmare imaginable.

The Prodigy is a horrific thriller which follows the lives of Sarah and John Blume and their seemingly gifted son Miles. After celebrating his rapid increase in intelligence, Sarah and John discover some extremely strange events that occur, such as a vast increase in Miles’ violent behavior by the time he turns eight years old (etc), making them realize this is not a gift, but their own real nightmare.
The movie keeps you entertained the entire time, and is full of suspense, teeth clenching jump scare scenes, and jaw dropping reveals. I highly recommend it whether you are new to watching horror films, or think of yourself at an expert at the sublime genre.
Us
Us is one of the most popular horror movies of 2019, and for very good reason. It was directed by the award winning movie director and writer of Get Out, Jordan Peele. Us is the second installment of Jordan’s vision for horror thrillers which show the dark and exaggerated sides of modern society in a scary, fascinating, and intriguing manner.
In Us, you follow the life of Adelaide, a woman who is constantly haunted by an unresolved traumatic past. She is always paranoid, and fearful of future scenarios. After she spends a day with friends, Adelaide and her family discover four silhouettes standing on their vacation home driveway. The movie pits this American family against an unusual and terrifying opponents; as they have to face doppelgangers of themselves.
The film will make you question reality, take you on a psychological roller coaster, and keep you up at night for quite a while. With that said, it is completely worth the journey, and all those who experience it will create an unforgettable memory of the movie.
Satanic Panic
If you are fan of the supernatural, involving witches, wizards, warlocks, spells, and anything of the like, this is the perfect horror film for you! It is full of excitement, jump scares, suspense, and all other aspects you love to see in a movie!
You follow the life of Sam, a pizza delivery driver who does not make nearly enough money. Her last delivery stop after an entire day of driving ends up being at a satanist gathering who are all looking for a sacrifice.
Sam ends up having to fight to keep her life and soul, battling witches, demonic creatures from hell, and evil spells. It is a twist on your average horror thriller, and will definitely leave you wanting more.
Zombieland: Double Tap
Zombieland Double Tap is not the horror movie you are used to watching. The film begins after a fight between Columbus and Witchita causes a rift in the once closely-knit family. The story follows the family’s adventures to mend the family and find Little Rock, who left after the big fight.
The group fights scary zombies along the way, learn new tricks, and are forced to adjust their tactics before they come across the renowned zombie hunter known as Nevada.
This film is lighter than the previously mentioned (in terms of raw scare power), but is just as interesting in its own way. You will thoroughly enjoy watching it, and will always edge to your seat to find out what happens next. The story closes really well, and might even make you become the biggest fan of horror thrillers!
Annabelle Comes Home
Another sequel to the world famous Annabelle series, Annabelle Comes Home dives right into the story of the mysteriously haunted doll, Annabelle. Ed and Lorraine Warren do their utter best to prevent Annabelle from causing more destruction, bringing the cursed doll to a locked room in their home and placing her behind sacred glass (after a priest’s blessing).
This turns out horribly, as Annabelle awakens all the evil spirits in the artifact room, and they form an unexpected new target, the 10 year old daughter of the Warrens, and her friends!
This psychological roller coaster will keep you excited, scared, and entertained. The movie is a joy to watch, and you will definitely find it worthwhile!
