10 Best Horror Movies Of 2019 (So Far)

4. The Perfection

Landing quietly on Netflix - which is often a worrying sign - this tale of musical talent and professional jealousy that makes way for something altogether more gruesome has shades of Black Swan about it - if Park Chan-wook had made it, perhaps.

It's sadistic, fetishistic and disturbing in its use of sexual violence in particular, but there's an admirable agenda to take the audience on a shocking, wholly unexpected ride and it will genuinely keep you guessing until its final rug-pull and deeply disturbing final image. It's not one to watch with the family, but then, the fun ones rarely are.
