5. The Possession Of Hannah Grace

This 2018 American horror movie, directed by Diederik van Rooijen and written by Brian Sieve, was originally met with negative reviews (despite earning a whopping $43million at the box office worldwide). Over time, however, fans have come to love this possession horror gem and it's becoming a little underground classic for fans of the genre.

The story focuses on ex-cop Megan Reed - the devil seems to be involved in law-enforcement yet again on this list - who has a deeply troubled past. She grapples with addiction and a traumatic event which sees her departing her career on the force. Megan takes on a job as security at the county morgue. It is during one of her first night shifts on the role that she helps take in the "delivery" of a recently deceased person – and that's when the horror truly begins. Megan soon finds herself under attack from a dark, demonic entity and her simple job turns into a battle for her soul.

The Possession of Hannah Grace is creepy in all the right ways and certainly has a few solid jump scares. Considering it's a low budget movie, it delivers the creepiness well and seems to be growing in popularity within the horror fanbase.
