By now, you’ve all probably seen The Babadook, but I have to include it in the list because it’s probably the scariest, weirdest movie to hit Netflix in the last year. If you’re a horror fan and haven’t seen it, are you really a horror fan? And, you have to see this movie!

In the film, a mother and son are haunted by a monster and evil entity from a storybook, known as The Babadook.

The Babadook premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and currently has a 98 percent critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
