The New Daughter (2009)
Yes, Kevin Costner’s in a horror flick; to me, I loved him in Dragonfly and Mr. Brooks so I knew this one had to be worth a watch. And, boy was I right. The New Daughter is quite an unique film with a very terrifying ending. Kevin Costner plays a recently divorced father who moves to a secluded house with his two children. In the new home’s backyard, the children discover a mysterious mound harboring a dark secret.

The Changeling (1980)
This film from the eighties is often overlooked, which truly is a shame because The Changeling is one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s truly a slow-burner but it’s the kind that will easily get under your skin and stay there for weeks to come. The Changeling is about a man living in an old mansion that has a disturbing past hidden behind it’s walls.

Honeymoon (2014)
Honeymoon has gained recent popularity due it’s arrival to Netflix Instant this past new year, but nevertheless I still need to announce that it’s the best horror flick of 2014 and it’s a film that will truly play with your head. Honeymoon crept me the hell out, and stayed with me for a long time afterwards. The film follows newlyweds camping in a remote cabin when one night the bride changes and not for the best…

The Children (2008)
I know there are plenty of creepy kid movies, but I consider The Children to be the king of them all. The Children disturbed me a lot more than the hordes of other movies I’ve seen. This one follows a family getting together for the holidays when the children start acting weird, creepy weird..

Splinter (2008)
Splinter is a truly unique film where a couple and an ex-con are holed up in a gas station with a scary-ass parasite trapping them inside. There’s not one thing I didn’t like about Splinter, and it is definitely one of my favorite horror films of all time. The special effects used are stellar and seriously scary-as-shit.

However, they soon find out they would have been better off on the road.. Packed with horrifying scenes and a successfully creeptastic ending, Farm House will haunt your dreams.
