The little girl's obsession with a mysterious fantasy soon brings the parents down a dark path. Almost closer to a suspenseful thriller with elements of horror, The Chalk Line is definitely worth watching if you don’t mind subtitles. Or speak Spanish. іVamos!
The Innocents (2022, IMDb M: 7.0 F: 7.0)

This movie is a great choice to watch right now.
The Nightingale (2018, IMDb M: 7.3 F: 7.4)
Horror movies don't necessarily need to be about bloodthirsty vampires or mysterious children playing with someone who isn’t there. Going back a few years, we find this movie which is as distributing and captivating as any classic horror film. Set in 1825, a young Irish woman chases a British officer through the wilderness looking for revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. Incredibly dark, violent and heartbreaking, The Nightingale is not one for the faint-hearted but still a must-watch during Halloween.

If you are looking for a tense and exhilarating scary story for Halloween, The Ritual will definitely do the trick. The movie follows a group of old friends who reunite for a trip to a forest in Sweden. As if an old, cranky forest isn’t scary enough, there is something spooky lurking between the trees watching the groups every step. Northern mythology seems to be a winning concept for a scary movie, which makes The Ritual a great watch for Halloween.
Train To Busan (2016, IMDb M: 7.5 F: 7.8)
Serving as a fan favorite for action-packed horror movies, Train To Busan is an unforgettable experience. While stuck on a train from Seoul to Busan, a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea forcing the struggling passengers to fight for survival.

Get ready to hold your breath with this silent chiller during Halloween. A perfect scary movie to watch!
