10 Terrifying Horror Films You’ve Probably Never Seen

10. Better Watch Out (2016)

Starting the list is Better Watch Out, which is what would happen if Home Alone and Halloween had a surprisingly charming child. The cast is refreshingly young, starring Levi Miller, who swaps his role as the magical Peter Pan to the mature – and boy does he let us know about it – adolescent, pining for his teenage babysitter whilst his friend mocks him, both played by The Visit alumni Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould.

The film does an excellent job making these characters real and relatable with contemporary and natural dialogue, meaning when things begin to go bump in the night and intruders threaten them and our squeaky voiced hero must defend his beloved. It makes for a really interesting flip on the stereotypical slasher, which expects the babysitter to be the final girl who protects the youngsters.

However, by the second half, the film outrageously turns things completely on its head yet again. By the finale, there have been so many twists and turns, you’ll be lucky not to be feeling a little bit of motion sickness. However, each turn which seems to get darker and darker by the minute turns a decent reversal of the slasher genre into an unforgettable psychological horror.
