20 Best Netflix Original Horror Movies - Ranked

15. Little Evil

Annihilation Natalie Portman

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil director Eli Craig's second feature is another giddily self-aware horror-comedy, this time focused on a man (Adam Scott) coming to terms with the fact that his new wife's (Evangeline Lilly) six-year-old son (Owen Atlas) may in fact be the Antichrist.

Though some may be disappointed by the lack of gore and surprisingly family-friendly tone, Little Evil is nevertheless the sweetest homage to The Omen you're ever likely to see, a genre-literate film which is sure to have horror fans smirking from ear to ear.

Better still, thanks to solid character work, the central stepfather-stepson relationship is actually weirdly touching, no matter how daft a movie this might otherwise be.
