Movie Recommendations: Horror Movies to Watch this Weekend

Hello, hello,

We've been having a very rainy week in Mumbai and so, have been watching a mix of old and new and underrated horror movies! Sharing some that we enjoyed for fellow horror aficionados. 


 


In no particular order, here are the horror movies we enjoyed! 


1. The Pope's Exorcist: Inspired the real life adventures and misadventures of the actual exorcist hired by the Pope in the 1980s to help individuals suffering from demonic possession, this is a pretty gnarly movie. When an American widow moves to a tiny town in Spain to restore and sell an ancient abbey that belonged to her husband's family, she finds a demonic entity possessing her young son. The Pope's Exorcist is called in to help the little boy. 

Streaming on Prime Video. 


2. Slumber: When a family that has consistent, horrifying nightmares approaches a sleep clinic for help, little do the doctors know that they have bitten off more than they can chew and what seems like some kind of sleep disorder is actually a kind of demonic possession. 

Streaming on Lionsgate Play. 


3. Polaroid: An underrated horror flick, Polaroid follows a group of school friends and the scary events that happen to them after one of the girls in the group finds an old, rare Polaroid camera from the 1970s. 

Streaming on Prime Video. 


4. The Visitor: Imagine you've just arrived at your wife's childhood home, in small town America, all the way from London. Imagine you find a painting of her grandfather who looks just like you. What would you do? This, surprisingly, interesting and creepy movie is an interesting watch.

Streaming on Prime Video.


5. Lullaby: A mysterious old storybook in Hebrew summons monsters from another realm, who steal babies and replace them with something else. A young couple's newborn baby is at threat when this book accidentally makes it way into their lives. 

Streaming on Prime Video.


6. Unfriended: Dark Web: A slasher and thriller more than purely horror, this movie delves into the dark web and the nefarious activities done by people on there. A group of friends meet on Skype for a games night, which then turns into something sinister when a group of creepy people from the dark web target them. 

Streaming on Netflix. 


7. Truth or Dare: This is a classic slasher cum horror movie where a group of friends are led to play Truth or Dare only to find that the game has been hijacked by an angry demon. 

The Director's Extended Cut version is streaming on Netflix and the regular version on Prime Video. 


8. Prey for the Devil: A young nun finds herself facing actions from her own past and a very vengeful demon in this fast-paced movie. 

Streaming on Lionsgate Play.
