10 Best Horror Movies To Watch Alone

5. Veronica

Innkeepers Movie

Many have claimed that this 2017 Spanish horror film is so scary that they've been unable to finish it. While that may be a bit of a stretch, it doesn't take away from the fact that the movie will make you want to sleep under the covers for a few nights.

Veronica follows a young girl who, along with several friends, decide to make the not-so-smart decision of playing with a Ouija during a solar eclipse. What follows is three days of unrelenting terror as supernatural forces turn her life into a living hell.

You may be asking why something that sounds so terrifying is on a list of movies to watch alone, which is a good question. The answer though is simple. Veronica is a movie you watch when you want to be scared.

Part of what makes it so effective during a solo viewing are the little things. If you pay attention to the screen, which is hard not to, you'll start to see subtle hints and foreshadowing. There are scares aplenty in Veronica, but the most unnerving ones happen either in the background or are slightly obscured. The moment you notice them, you'll wish you hadn't.

Maybe keep some holy water around for this one.
