7 Forgotten Netflix Horror Movies That Are Perfect From Start to Finish
Collider highlights seven Netflix horror films it believes have been unfairly overlooked despite being consistently strong from beginning to end. The article argues that streaming-only releases can quickly fade from public attention, even when they are well made, because they lack the cultural impact of a major cinema opening or an established franchise.
– The Ritual (2017): Four friends hiking through Sweden face a supernatural threat while dealing with grief and guilt; its slow-building character drama and delayed monster reveal are praised.
– Blood Red Sky (2021): A vampire mother fights plane hijackers to protect her son, using the confined aircraft setting for inventive and tense horror scenes.
– Apostle (2018): Gareth Evans’ horror film is included among Netflix originals the article says deserve renewed attention.
- Netflix horror films can be overlooked despite strong reviews and inventive premises.
- The Ritual blends grief, friendship and Scandinavian folk horror.
- Blood Red Sky turns a hijacked flight into vampire horror.
