Following a group of friends who initially plan to investigate their friend’s missing sister, the story takes a dark turn when they find themselves trapped in a time loop.

Terrifier (2016)

While clowns are supposed to bring laughter, the clown in Terrifier only delivers terror and horrifying deaths. “Art the Clown” is a murderous clown who violently kills people. His silence makes you uncomfortable, and when you look at his eyes—they’re lifeless, almost corpse-like.

Terrifier is probably one of the most spooky movies out there. The grotesque visuals, the clown’s way of killing, and his disturbing demeanor add to the creepiness and menace of the series. The movie had two more installments, released in 2022 and 2024. So, you can’t just stop at one movie—or else, Art the Clown might sulk and come get you.

Outside (2024)

A Filipino movie that centers on a horror-drama and zombie arc. When a zombie outbreak happens, a family moves into the father’s childhood home. But this is more than just a zombie movie—because what’s even more horrifying than traumas and secrets from the past that haunt you?

Zombies are scary, but what’s even spookier is how your past can imprison you and make that internal conflict within you a virus. When the father’s self-anxiousness takes over, his family becomes threatened—not by zombies, but by him. Now that’s a nightmare.
