The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Found footage horror doesn’t get much scarier than The Blair Witch Project. This 1999 classic terrified audiences by putting them right in the middle of the action. It follows three film students (Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, Michael C. Williams) venturing into a small town, cameras rolling, to document the legend of the Blair Witch. Things take a dark turn when the students become lost in the Maryland woods. Eerie sounds surround them, and the footage they capture becomes increasingly disturbing. It’s up to the viewers to piece together their terrifying journey from the footage they left behind.

Pandorum (2009)

Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster deliver gripping performances in Pandorum, a sci-fi horror film where two astronauts awaken from hypersleep to a chilling reality.

As they delve deeper into the ship’s secrets, they uncover horrifying truths that reveal the fate of their crew and the dire consequences of their mission’s failure. 

Talk to Me (2022)

Talk to Me takes a chilling twist on the supernatural, as a group of thrill-seeking teenagers find a horrifying way to contact the dead – through a severed, embalmed hand. The rush of their discovery quickly turns into a nightmare when one of them pushes the boundaries too far, unleashing terrifying consequences. This Australian horror film has become A24’s highest-grossing film in the genre, solidifying its status as a must-see for fans seeking a truly spine-tingling experience.

The Eye (2008)

The Eye is a 2008 American film based on a Japanese horror classic. After a life in darkness, violinist Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) finally regains her sight through a corneal transplant. She learns to see again with the help of her visual therapist friend (Alessandro Nivola) and sister (Parker Posey). But her newfound vision brings horrifying glimpses of an alternate reality only she can see. Is it a side effect of the surgery or something far more sinister?
