20 Best Netflix Original Horror Movies - Ranked

3. Calibre

Annihilation Natalie Portman

Though there aren't any zombies, aliens, or other supernatural monsters to be found in Calibre, this Scottish bone-chiller mines horror instead out of the dark depths of the human soul.

Two young men (Jack Lowden and Martin McCann) head into the Scottish Highlands for a hunting weekend which quickly goes horribly wrong, and that's really all you should know going in.

In a stunning feature debut, writer-director Matt Palmer continually ratchets up the tension to almost intolerable levels, aided by phenomenal performances from his two leads as well as those of a top-notch ensemble cast.

Truly one of Netflix's most bafflingly unsung Originals, Calibre will lock you in its grip early and not let go for 101 nerve-wracking minutes.
