15 Best Horror Movies To Watch On Netflix This Halloween

14. My Bloody Valentine

Speaking of remakes that improve upon the original, here’s a Fangoria-approved gorefest where eyeballs pop out, heads are split in two and, because it was shot in 3D, pickaxes are thrown at the viewer. The plot involves a crazed miner on the rampage on a small town, but it’s better if you disengage your brain and sit back and enjoy the gory shenanigans.

Hearts are removed, jaws are ripped off and in the hands of this movie’s killer, the humble pickaxe becomes a ninja throwing star, capable of taking out an opponent several hundred yards away. Even judged by horror movie standards, My Bloody Valentine has one of the longest displays of gratuitous nudity as Betsy Rue (also a victim in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II) attempts to outrun the killer wearing only her birthday suit, so if you’re looking for a trashy good time, look no further.

The director is Patrick Lussier, who graduated from editing Wes Craven’s films to making his own horror pictures, and he’s clearly learned from the master. Despite the low budget, Lussier gives the movie a terrific look and pace, and it's considerably more entertaining than Friday The 13th, 2009’s “other” slasher remake starring an actor from Supernatural.
