Long Time Dead (2002) Long Time Dead is a British horror film with a supernatural twist, following a group of friends who decide to experiment with a Ouija board during a night out. What starts as a harmless game quickly turns sinister when they accidentally summon a malevolent djinn. One by one, the friends are hunted down by the vengeful spirit, and they must unravel the mystery before it claims them all. While it doesn't reinvent the genre, Long Time Dead is a fun ride, with just enough eerie moments to keep horror fans engaged. The film's blend of folklore and urban legend gives it a distinct flavour, even if this one is more polarizing than others on this list. Disturbing Behavior (1998) Disturbing Behavior is a 90's horror-thriller that explores the dark underbelly of suburban perfection. The story follows Steve, a teenager who moves to the seemingly idyllic town of Cradle Bay. Soon, he notices something off about the popular students, who exhibit unnervingly perfect behaviour after undergoing a mysterious 'program' at school.

Its dark, moody aesthetic and suspenseful plot twists make it a nostalgic favourite for fans of 90's horror. I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) A quintessential 90s slasher, I Know What You Did Last Summer follows four friends whose lives are turned upside down after they accidentally hit and kill a man on a dark, winding road. Panicked and desperate to cover up the crime, they dispose of the body and never to speak of it again.

Scream (1996) Directed by Wes Craven, Scream revitalized the slasher genre when it released, bringing with it a clever blend of satire, horror, and self-awareness. The story follows Sidney Prescott, a high school student whose life takes a dark turn when a masked killer known as Ghostface begins terrorizing her small town. As the bodies pile up, Sidney and her friends are forced to figure out who's behind the mask while navigating the horror movie rules that might just save their lives. What makes Scream so compelling is its ability to poke fun at horror clichés while still delivering genuinely terrifying moments. The film's meta-humor, paired with strong performances, make it both a parody and a love letter to classic slashers. Premonition (2007) Premonition is a psychological thriller that blends mystery and supernatural elements together. The story here centers on Linda Hanson, who finds her life shattered when she learns her husband has died in a car crash — only to wake up the next day and find him alive. Trapped in a disjointed timeline where days occur out of order, Linda must piece together the truth while figuring out whether she can change fate or if she's slowly losing her mind. What sets Premonition apart is its mind-bending narrative structure, keeping the audience as disoriented as Linda herself. Sandra Bullock's performance adds depth to a story that challenges the perception of reality while exploring themes of loss and destiny. Escape Room (2019) Escape Room takes the popular puzzle concept and turns it into a high-stakes game of life and death. All of this begins with six strangers receiving mysterious invitations to participate in an escape room experience, but soon realize that the rooms themselves are deadly traps designed to test their wits and survival skills. As the kids navigate increasingly dangerous challenges, they must uncover what connects them and why they were chosen. Blending elements of Saw with Cube, Escape Room is a fast-paced thriller that keeps you guessing, balancing clever puzzles with enough suspense to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. One Missed Call (2008) One Missed Call centers on a series of mysterious phone calls from the future, each predicting the recipient's gruesome death. After a string of friends receive ominous voicemails and die in horrific ways, Beth Raymond realizes that the curse is spreading. Teaming up with a detective, she must unravel the mystery before it's her turn to answer the deadly call. While the premise is intriguing, the film does struggle to maintain tension throughout. However, despite its flaws, One Missed Call taps into our fears of technology and that of the unknown, delivering a few chilling moments amidst a sea of familiar horror elements. Happy Death Day (2017) Happy Death Day puts a clever twist on the slasher genre by combining horror with a time-loop mechanic. The story follows Tree Gelbman, a self-centered college student who wakes up on her birthday — only to be murdered by a masked killer. Instead of staying dead, she wakes up again, repeating the same day. Trapped in a loop, Tree must find out who's killing her and why, learning more about herself in the process. What makes this film stand out is its refreshing blend of dark humor and horror. Produced by Blumhouse, Happy Death Day is a crowd-pleaser with a sharp script and inventive kills, making it a fun, modern slasher with just enough heart to keep you invested. Sole Survivor (1984) Sole Survivor is a cult horror that centers on Denise, the only person to survive a tragic plane crash. Trying to move on with her life, she soon realizes that something sinister is at play as eerie occurrences and ghostly apparitions begin to haunt her. As Denise's paranoia escalates, she suspects that death itself is coming to reclaim her. What makes Sole Survivor stand out is its unique take on the theme of cheating death, predating films like Final Destination but playing with a similarly eerie concept. The film blends psychological horror with supernatural elements nicely, and although its a low-budget flick, the movie's tension and eerie storytelling help to look past this.
