Redditor Tinybrownsparrow added, “These were great. I was impressed with how well the movies created compelling suspense with surprisingly simple elements.”
Marianne (2019)

It Follows (2014)

Hush (2016)
Image Credit: Netflix. Power_Blonde answered, “Hush is more suspense than scary/horror. However, I enjoyed it because it's scarier. After all, a situation like that could happen. It was a great late-night watch in the dark one weekend for me.”
The Ritual (2017)
Image Credit: Netflix. KeriEatsSouls stated, “The Ritual was genuinely creepy at times.” EleanorRigorMortis agreed, “I haven't been that creeped out since The Blair Witch Project.”

Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Image Credit: Netflix. Lottalicious answered, “If you don't mind watching a series instead, The Haunting of Hill House is a phenomenal experience!” Hamptont2010 agreed, “It might be my single favorite piece of horror media ever produced. Of course, I also love The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020), but it's almost more of a love story with horror elements.”
