I am sooooooo sick of reading ‘Best of Netflix’ articles and being halfway into the results before realizing that none of them are on the UK version of the steaming service. Well, just because of this I am now the iHorror.com UK Netflix reporter and to start you off, here is a ‘best of Netflix’ list for the Brits!

Come back regularly and see my weekly post on new arrivals to the Netflix library.

In no particular order:

Zombieland
Slapstick gory horror is always a winner in my book. Woody Harrelson has mastered the art of zombie killing and Bill Murray had mastered the art of pretending to be a zombie. If you haven’t seen it yet, sort your life out!

Would You Rather
Excellent story line on a modest budget and some fantastic actors bring this little gem together. Based on a sadistic version of the teen game ‘Would you rather?’ this one will keep you on the edge of your seat from 15 minutes in.[youtube id=”it5XICr93wU” align=”center”]

Saw 3, 4, 5, 6
You can’t beat a bit or over the top torture porn. Although I do hate it when Netflix doesn’t provide the full saga. No introduction here apart from if you haven’t seen any of the Saw movies, they aren’t for the faint of heart.[youtube id=”zeJ9v8jjFEE” align=”center”][youtube id=”cn170AzHjio” align=”center”][youtube id=”00cHLr90SgA” align=”center”][youtube id=”MW8BaH-w7-4″ align=”center”]

Insidious Chapter 2
If you are after a scare this is the one for you. I don’t know anyone who wasn’t sitting behind a pillow that didn’t enjoy it. Best to watch the first one first, as it is all about time and dimension travel and you will spoil a pretty good story line if you skip it.[youtube id=”fBbi4NeebAk” align=”center”]

Hostel 2, 3
Oh look, Netflix is at it again, only providing the second and third installment of these awesome movies. Hopefully you have already seen the first however and are ready for Eli Roth’s twisted sequels. Again, these are for the veterans of horror.

House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects
These just had to be in there. House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects are brutal, bloodthirsty horrors from the quill of Rob Zombie. Watch ‘House’ first and then ‘Rejects’ second.[youtube id=”c96DM_5AHbg” align=”center”][youtube id=”apZ_F8aDFmc” align=”center”]

The Mist
Even with this movie appearing in lists of films with the worst endings of all time, I would say it is still vastly entertaining and definitely worth watching. Monsters, aliens or something, appear in a mist that takes over the country. Nuff said![youtube id=”E-NF55EZ5tw” align=”center”]

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil
This is one of my must favorite black comedies of all time. Plenty of bloodshed, strangely made comical by two misunderstood hillbillies trying to just be good people.[youtube id=”j0hJSCqqIs4″ align=”center”]

Cube
Classic horror with an intriguing story. Several people wake up to find themselves in a giant cube with multiple rooms filled with traps. Don’t wait…watch this movie![youtube id=”MY5PkidV1cM” align=”center”]

The Midnight Meat Train
A struggling photographer goes to the crime ridden areas of the city to find a cutting edge image to display for real life art. However when he notices the rather strange man and decides to follow him, he gets more than he ever bargained for. A fairly unknown Bradley Cooper and Vinnie Jones star in this dark movie.[youtube id=”nPazfR_DyAo” align=”center”]

The Crazies (2010)
Remake of a classic movie that, for a change, was done quite well. Bit of a zombie style movie where a sheriff strives to save his wife and escape the authority’s brutal quarantine.[youtube id=”J7w9uWFIMBs” align=”center”]

The Amityville Horror
Ryan Reynolds stepping into horror for a brief period to make this awesome rendition of the well-known classic.[youtube id=”c5Maq9H1lZ8″ align=”center”]

Event Horizon
Sci-Fi action horror with some shit your pants scary scenes that could only work with Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill in them. Definitely should be on your list if you like a scare.[youtube id=”OVlnER8SxfQ” align=”center”]

The Night of the Living Dead
Any self-respecting zombie fan would already know this icon. Re-mastered in color this horror movie was one of the first to show the struggle to survive in normal surroundings which I think makes it more realistic. There is no shopping mall or barricaded prison, just a house on a farm with the constant reminder that we are not much better than the undead.[youtube id=”r0r7L8tS2L0″ align=”center”]

The Ninth Gate
Johnny Depp returned to horror for this supernatural fantasy. A long movie but plenty to keep you on the edge of your seat.[youtube id=”9T5mhtHf8T4″ align=”center”]

Splinter
A great concept for a sticky substance that when touched will engulf and mutate your body leaving a splinter like form. Trapped in a gas station the sticky stuff takes them one at a time.[youtube id=”aJndd5Eyz18″ align=”center”]

From Dusk till Dawn
George Clooney, yes you heard me, and Quentin Tarantino in a movie that blew us away. Come back George, you belong with us and not in the rom-com rubbish! Vampire movies at their best.[youtube id=”-bBay_1dKK8″ align=”center”]

Planet Terror and Death Proof
A collaboration of Tarantino and George A. Romero, two grindhouse movies for the price of one. Not sequels but in the same world as each story line.  ‘Terror’ is a mutant zombie breakout and ‘Proof’ is a serial killer actionsmovie. Who movie do you prefer? Let iHorror.com know in the comments.[youtube id=”naH0Htsz1q8″ align=”center”][youtube id=”7mICGcg5-pM” align=”center”]

The Omen (1976)
Well it isn’t often we see movie royalty on Netflix but when we do it would be wrong to scroll past, even if you have seen it over fifty times.[youtube id=”V7CEbd7ffNw” align=”center”]

Stitches
This is a fun little number for the comedy and clown fans to squeak their noses too. British Comedian Ross Nobel stars as a birthday party entertainer that falls victim to a vicious prank and dies in a horrible way. Returning from the dead several years later to seek revenge on those own took his life. Don’t take this movie too seriously, it is fun and gory in a brilliant way.[youtube id=”tGk38QjM5zQ” align=”center”]

An American Werewolf in London
I remember reading that people fainted in the theater watching the transformation scene in this movie. One of the only werewolf films done right over the years.[youtube id=”3uw6QPThCqE” align=”center”]

Doom
Similar to the first Resident Evil story line this is a fun action horror staring Dwayne Johnson and was the first to try out the very cool first person shooter style filming. Made after the famous video game Doom.[youtube id=”LljkKoPs1Gg” align=”center”]

Scream
Start studded cast of people to watched getting chopped up by a guy in a ghost mask. We all know the one… classic Valentine’s night movie.[youtube id=”AWm_mkbdpCA ” align=”center”]

Stigmata
You can probably tell what this movie is about from the title. Excellently done, this movie followsa  young lady as she finds herself with the symptoms of Stigmata. This apparently actually happens in the world![youtube id=”sIz7Tv4Zzxk” align=”center”] 

Fright Night (1985)
Another 80’s black comedy but in the vampire genre this time where a teen discovers the prince of darkness himself lives next door.[youtube id=”1ISgM9sjza8″ align=”center”]

The Blair Witch Project
The original found footage movie at its best here. I loved this movie for its originality and proof that you do not need to use blood and guts to scare the hell out of people.[youtube id=”a_Hw4bAUj8A” align=”center”]

Child’s Play Child’s Play 2 and Child’s Play 3
Some of my favorite movies of all time, Wow Netflix has all three, well before they started to get dumb!  “Hi my name’s Chucky, and I’ll be your friend to the end.”[youtube id=”B2ienmZuReo” align=”center”][youtube id=”7D5T4_KajSU” align=”center”][youtube id=”s9GNZdjMCAM” align=”center”]

The ABCs of Death
Interesting little number of short movies here by 26 different directors from around the world all using a letter for the alphabet as a theme their story. A bit odd but great![youtube id=”rIHmP9XO4KA” align=”center”]

Re-Animator
Can’t beat this one and I should probably say it is for horror fans really. Cult classic staring Jeffery Combs that has been referenced thousands of times in horror movies.[youtube id=”6NOcRIHiRtc” align=”center”]

The Craft
My wife insisted on putting this one in. Probably one good for valentine’s day as it is not hide behind the pillow scary but has a great story line about four young witches.[youtube id=”DoM4OXQVCcE” align=”center”]

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
This film is nuts but I just love it! It is wacky as hell and not very well done but it was one of the first to get me into horror as a kid and it is in this list as a sign of respect.[youtube id=”PrFl800iYWI” align=”center”]

Friday the 13^th Part 4
In my view this was the best of all the Jason movies and if you haven’t seen any of them, firstly shame on you and secondly just watch this one. It might lead your interest enough to watch them all.[youtube id=”zBme5lOcZF4″ align=”center”]

Vampire in Brooklyn
Eddie Murphy dabbles in the horror genre as the prince of darkness biting his was through Brooklyn. Funny as hell… watch it![youtube id=”2qzFuLGeVGI” align=”center”]

Jack Brooks Monster Slayer
Robert Englund co-stars in this movie as a young man with anger issues finds a way to channel his energy in to slaying monsters. Practical effects lovers will appreciate this movie![youtube id=”ejwdhipRQJU” align=”center”]
