10 horror films on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video to make you feel sick on Halloween

Time of Halloweencelebrated this Friday, October 31st, is time to watch horror films.

I selected 10 titles that are just the way I like them: They are scary, disturbing and have no comic relief. In fact, at least four of them can make us feel sick.

The 10 films can be seen on Netflix or in Amazon Prime Video. And the selection allows you to make a trip around the world, visiting 10 countries on five continents: North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Click on the links if you want to know more.

Destantaon Fisons in the Wongpoo Pakoom. Our terrible journey begins at Thailand. After his girlfriend runs over a young woman, a photographer begins to see sinister figures in the images he captures. This film has one of the most chilling endings. I will never forget. (Netflix)

De Babak Anvari. The story takes place almost entirely in a city building. Tehran of the 1980s, amid the war between Iran and Iraq. The main characters are a mother and her young daughter. When the city begins to be bombed, the two also begin to be disturbed by supernatural events. The film mixes haunted house horror with political drama, keeping the viewer tense until the last scene. (Netflix)

By Paco Plaza. Set in Mothersin the 1990s, the Spanish film has as its main character a teenager who is a student at a Catholic school and who takes care of her three younger brothers. One day, Veronica buys a ouija board to try to contact his deceased father. Of course everything goes wrong. (Netflix)

By Pascal Laugier. The French director filmed in Canada this heavy horror. In the plot, a woman and her two daughters, on their first night in their new house, have to deal with invaders. What happens from then on is pure nightmare. (Amazon Prime Video)

By Rob Jabbaz. Zombie movies always lend themselves to metaphors about the time in which they were gestated. Coming from Taiwanthis title explicitly reflects the coronavirus pandemic, but basically it is valid for any time, like a fable, only very violent and very bloody. In survival odyssey of young couple Jim and Katthere are limbs decapitated by gardening shears, eyes pierced with an umbrella handle, torture with barbed wire, bites that tear the victim apart, gang rapes, acts of necrophilia… (Reserve Imovision, which has a seven-day free trial on Amazon Prime Video)

De Christian Tafdrup. Come from Denmark another stone. Attention: do not confuse with remake starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis. And the Don’t Speak Evil original that will mark you forever. In the film, a Danish family on holiday in Italy befriends a Dutch couple who have a young son. Little by little, the plot illustrates how committing to civility can be very dangerous. (Reserve Imovision which has a seven-day free trial on Amazon Prime Video)

Beth of Araújo. The American director who has a Brazilian father portrays the first meeting of a group of neo-Nazi women organized by professor Emily in California. Soft and Discreet illustrates how theory becomes practice, how a “joke” can turn into something very serious. One spark is enough to cause a suffocating fire, and this sensation is reinforced by the real-time narrative that simulates being in a single sequence shot, that is, without cuts between one scene and another. (BOOH!, that has a seven-day free trial on Amazon Prime Video)

By Demián Rugna. The residents of a quiet town in the interior of Argentina receive alarming news: a man infected by the devil is about to give birth to a real demon. Desperate, the inhabitants try to escape the place. I warn you that the dog scene made me jump on the couch. (Netflix)

By Karim Ouelhaj. The main characters are the supposed children of a serial killer who haunted the Belgium in the 1990s, the Butcher of Moons. Megalomaniac shows how evil can be transmitted, how evil contaminates, how the victim can become an aggressor. And it controls explosions of violence (scenes of rape, murder, humiliation, kidnapping, false imprisonment, beatings, hammerings to the head, knife blows…) so that they have the greatest possible impact when they occur. (BOOH!, that has a seven-day free trial on Amazon Prime Video)

By Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou. The best horror film of the year takes place in Australia, where two teenage brothers, after the death of their father, go to live in a foster home, in the house of an eccentric woman (Sally Hawkins deserved an Oscar nomination) who also takes in a mute boy. Strange things soon start to happen, and Make Her Come Back There’s at least one scene that’s so shocking it might make you scream. (Available to rent on Amazon Prime Video)
