Netflix has a smaller list, but they also have another Saw series film, Jigsaw, available this month, as well as the hilarious horror comedy Zombieland, The Nun, and Annabelle, to take care of all your scary nun and scary doll needs.
This third film in the Candyman series was directed by Turi Meyer and brings back the original Candyman Tony Todd. Candyman: Day of the Dead adds Donna D'Errico, Jsu Garcia, Wade Williams, Alexia Robinson, and Lupe Ontiveros to the cast.
The sixth sequel in the series, Saw VI, continues the story from the ending of Saw V. Agent Strahm is dead, and FBI agent Erickson draws nearer to Hoffman. Meanwhile, a pair of insurance executives find themselves in another game set by Jigsaw.
Directed by first-time director Kevin Greutert, it stars Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, Peter Outerbridge, and Shawnee Smith. For the third time, writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan cook up a new storyline full of gruesome traps.
Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Rory Culkin, Abigail Breslin, and Cherry Jones star in the film, which Shyamalan also penned. The director gives himself a pivotal role in the film and may be most famous for the reveal of the aliens and Joaquin Phoenix's shocked reaction to it.
This cult-favorite supernatural horror film is about a newcomer to a Catholic prep high school who falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft. They all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who anger them.
Fairuza Balk, Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True star as the witches in the high school coven who are granted incredible powers. Skeet Ulrich, Christine Taylor, and Breckin Meyer play the bullies who make their lives miserable until the girls start to use magic to get revenge.
M. Night Shyamalan's third film and first smash hit, The Sixth Sense, was a sensation upon its release and is still a favorite among film fans. It is how Shyamalan became known as a filmmaker who would have a twist ending that upended the audience's expectations.
Bruce Willis, Toni Collette, Olivia Williams, and Haley Joel Osment star in the film, and it is an early genre film appearance for Collette, who would go on to the star turn in Ari Aster's Hereditary.
Max has all three of M. Night Shyamalan's first three genre films that he wrote and directed streaming in July. The third is Unbreakable, the superhero film between The Sixth Sense and Signs in the director's filmography. The first film in the Unbreakable trilogy stars Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Robin Wright.
Mary Harron's American Psycho is a triumph as the novel it is based on, written by Bret Easton Ellis, was considered unfilmable because of the intense and gory graphic violence in the novel. A satire of 90s culture and male ego, it tells the story of a wealthy New Yorker who is also a serial killer who has never even been under suspicion.
Christan Bale stars as the wealthy New York City investment banking executive Patrick Bateman, who hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies. Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Chlo Sevigny, Cara Seymour, and Justin Theroux play Bateman's colleagues and other victims.
A spin-off in The Conjuring Universe, Annabelle was inspired by a real-life doll that paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren kept as a cursed object. Shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists, a couple begins to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll.
The eighth film in the Saw franchise, directed by The Spierig Brothers, stars Matt Passmore, Callum Keith Rennie, Cl Bennett, and Hannah Emily Anderson. If you are planning a Saw binge this month, Netflix is where you can find the eighth film for that binge.
Once again, the series proves that death has no power over John Kramer as bodies are turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one suspect: John Kramer, the man known as Jigsaw, who has been dead for over 10 years.
Another branching of The Conjuring Universe in which a priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun. This is the fifth installment of the overall franchise and spawned a sequel in 2023.
Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin star as the cagey, ruthless humans who live as best they can, dodging the zombie hordes. A shy student trying to reach his family in Ohio, a gun-toting bruiser in search of the last Twinkie, and a pair of sisters striving to get to an amusement park join forces in a trek across a zombie-filled America. There's also a surprise supporting character that actually works better if you don't know who it is before you watch it for the first time.
The third season of the reality television show produced by The History Channel is coming to Netflix soon. The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch has been so popular on the streamer that it hit the top ten last week.
Mike Flanagan had already built a reputation as a rock-steady horror filmmaker by 2016, but the sense of "holy crap, this guy can do anything" became set in stone once he took on a prequel to a critically-derided movie about an evil ouija board and made one of the scariest movies of the last decade. Ouija: Origin of Evil takes us to the 1970s, where fake psychic Alice Zander (Elizabeth Reaser) and her two daughters, Lina (Annalise Basso) and Doris (Lulu Wilson), perform seances for paying customers in the wake of Alice's husband dying. Doris, the youngest, spices up the act with the introduction of a ouija board, but the cursed item makes things all too real when it not only sends a dark spirit into the girl's body but exposes the deep-seated evil ingrained in the Zander's house. There is, to be very clear, absolutely no reason for Ouija: Origin of Evil to be good at all, so it's a downright shock that it's this horrifying and effective. And, because it's Flanagan we're talking about here, there's also a potent dramatic heart beating underneath all those bumps in the night. --Vinnie Mancuso
It's a common trope: a little kid has a crush on their sexy teenage babysitter. But Netflix's original flick The Babysitter turns that on its head, by making the hot babysitter also happen to be part of a Satanic cult. The cult - who has brought their ceremony into young Cole's house - will stop at nothing to prevent Cole from spreading their secret. It's not really a "scary" horror film; it's more goofy, super gory, and a kind of throwback to the campy horror of the 1980s. - Alyse Wax
The first installment of Netflix's Fear Street trilogy of films is an absolute blast from start to finish. Very much drawing influence from Scream, this R-rated slasher takes place in the town of Shadyville, where people going back decades have a habit of going on violent killing sprees. Rumors swirl that it's all to do with a witch's curse from the 1600s (which is covered in the third movie), and in this 1994-set film a group of teenagers find themselves the target of a bevy of masked killers as the try to figure out what's going on and how to survive it. At the center of the story is a queer romance that sets this apart from many other slashers of its ilk, and there's enough comedic relief to keep this from being bogged down as a horror film of the self-serious type. Again the Scream comparisons are apt, so if you're in for a spooky good time that also sets up a mythology that is concluded in the next two Fear Street movies, give Fear Street Part One: 1994 a whirl. - Adam Chitwood
It's tempting to loop all of the Fear Street films into one entry because they're such a satisfying (you might even say limited series-like) whole, but they're also so stylistically distinct and uniquely effective, they're worth singling out on their own. As for the second installment, 1978 takes audiences back to another Shadyside massacre, this time inspired by the summer camp horror trend of the 70s and 80s. Anchored around the story of two estranged sisters finding their way back to each other despite their differences, 1978 unleashes the Nightwing killer scene in the first film while investigating the story behind how he became a cursed mass murderer and deepening the established mythology and character work in the process.
