20 Best Netflix Original Horror Movies - Ranked

8. The Perfection

Though quietly dropped on Netflix last year, The Perfection is one of the streaming platform's most unforgettable original horror movies to date.

Without getting too deep into plot specifics, the film explores the relationship between former music prodigy Charlotte (Allison Williams), and her younger successor, Lizzie (Logan Browning).

This is absolutely a film best watched while knowing as little as possible: co-writer-director Richard Shepard toys with audience expectations in some extremely sneaky ways, ensuring that the film continually vaults from one genre to another.

Between the tight visuals and fantastic performances from Williams and Browning, this is a delightfully effed-up, genre-bending effort that's sure to maintain compulsive interest all the way to its barmy ending.

Don't watch the trailer if your interest is piqued - just watch the movie already.
