The Open House

Released: 2018

Starring: Dylan Minnette, Piercey Dalton, Sharif Atkins, Patricia Bethune, and Aaron Abrams.

Netflix has quite a few horror/thrillers that will keep you guessing right up until the end, but The Open House is one of then more shocking ones. With an ending that you simply do not see coming, this film sits in good company along with others like it, such as The Collector and Funny Games.

The Invitation

Released: 2015

Starring: Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Michiel Huisman, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Lindsay Burdge, Michelle Krusiec, Mike Doyle, Jay Larson, and John Carroll Lynch.

While some would likely categorize The Invitation as more of a suspense-thriller film than a horror, it most certainly falls into the latter genre. Following a group of friends at a dinner party (including Hill House's Huisman) in the the Hollywood Hills, this film challenges you to wonder just how well you know the people you feel closest to in life.
