I've considered it a few times but never committed. All things being equal, I'll sooner pass on a Netflix original movie than others, as they have some low-quality stuff. But if it made this list, I'll reconsider... again

Saw this as a kid on a Saturday afternoon when the local uhf station did the scfi and monster(Godzilla type) movies. This is one of a few that stuck with me especially when you enter the hideout. No spoilers. Good 50's B scifi flick.

Never heard of this. Sounds like a variation on Dead Calm

Yep, watched it on "Creature Feature" back in the day.

I, obviously, really liked it and highly recommend it.

The first "controversial" miniseries entry

Saw this back in the day with my great-grandfather. He loved these movies. Lived with him for a few months when I was 7. I saw a lot of cool, old movies with him. Not just creature features. He also really loved the comedy duos. Laurel and Hardy especially. That guy was cool.

Controversial maybe, but it 100% belongs. This movie scared the **** out of me as a kid. Holds up.
Scoresman

I allowed these for a couple reasons. On IMDB there's not much distinguishing these from regular movies and just show as 3+hour movies if you didnt know any better. Also, I feel like the Stephen King miniseries of the 80s/90s were such a great niche subgenre in horror. It feels weird omitting them.

This is a mockumentary style found footage movie from Japan. What I love about this one is the sense of dread and feeling of unnerving I have while watching it. Hard to describe and this won't be for everyone, but I feel like it is genuinely scary which is a rare feat these days. There's a certain scene in the woods towards the end of the movie that has imagery I've had nightmares about.

I liked Dead Calm (not on my list, but I considered it), I've never heard of this one before, and it's on Prime. I think I'll try to give this a watch tonight or tomorrow.

If you need more of an endorsement it is 97% fresh on rotten tomatoes.

This is one of those movies that really shows the difference between RT and other review sites (and highlights why RT is flawed). Metacritic has it at 65.
That said, I do want to watch this one.

This is one of the King movies I mentioned with Children of the Corn that holds up well IMO. Pretty faithful to the book and James Mason was a marvelous villain.

Harpoon was a movie I had never heard of, but it was on Rotten Tomatoes list of top 200 horror films of all-time so I watched it. When I finished it, it was one of those experiences where I was just like "whoa".

I just watched it a month ago. Still creepy as fuh.

I posted about it before, but one that ties in well to our countdown is The Evolution of Horror. It's a British podcast so the accents are a plus, but what I love about it is that it does a deep dive on a genre in chronological order for 20+ episodes in a season. For example, their latest was Home Invasion, but they have also done stuff like vampires, Folk Horror, Ghosts, etc.. As far as just random ones I like stuff like The Rewatchables, Unspooled, The Cine Files, and The Big Picture. All have their +s and -s, but all have good things to say about movies and have a variety of movies they have watched. Another horror one is Colors of the Dark. That one is more what new ones are out, then they usually do a mini countdown of a subgenre or topic. I think a few of those @Ilov80s also listens to and can vouch for as well.

I am going to watch Terminator tonight and think more about that one. It feels like a call back to the discussion about movies like Se7en and Silence of the Lambs as to if it crosses over the boundary into horror or not. Btw, after more thought I am rounding on the opinion that Silence of the Lambs is horror and Se7en is about as close as a detective thriller gets to horror without being one.

I agree about Se7en. Silence of the Lambs is borderline. And while I had never thought of it that way, I fully buy Terminator as horrorI am going to watch Terminator tonight and think more about that one.

Just a question .
Are horror series allowed on the list or just films ?
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE Official Trailer (2018) Netflix, Horror was an amazingly chilling series from start to finish , all 10 episodes .

See, I would have it the opposite. I see Silence as more detective thriller and Se7en as horror.

That's terrible. If it isn't scary, it should at least be funny
