Best Horror Movies

To make it easier for all you horror fans, when you want to find the best horror movies and series, we’ve created a guide sorted by our reviews. Enjoy! 

Obviously, we want to highlight the best horror movies and series. However, sometimes you’ve seen them all or you want something more laid-back.

Here’s how to find your next movie or show based on Heaven of Horror’s reviews:

5 or 4 stars review (or rather, blood spatters) is a  definite  recommendation to watch.

3 stars usually mean it’s very entertaining, but once is probably enough. It’s a safe bet if you want to be entertained and need nothing more.

2 stars are for titles that show definite potential and have some winning qualities, which should suit some viewers but might not be for everyone.

1 star isn’t something we recommend*.

Click on the number of stars below  and find out which horror movie or series to watch…

Best Horror Titles:

Decent horror titles:, worst horror titles:.

*We do have to admit that any movie or series receiving just 1 star  might be worth watching. But for different reasons. As in; You will not enjoy this as a horror title, but you’ll be inspired that they managed to even make a movie or show. You might even be left wondering if you shouldn’t make your own movie.

Who knows, maybe you’ll end up making one of the best horror movies and find it here on our list.

Late Night with the Devil Review: A Deeply Disturbing and Unique Watch

The challenge for filmmakers is to forge a new path or rekindle the sparks of horror’s past in fresh, compelling ways. With Late Night with the Devil , directors and writers Colin and Cameron Cairnes tackle this challenge head-on, offering a tantalizing mix of horror, suspense, and a nostalgic throwback to 1970s television. This film manages to carve out its own niche within the genre, leveraging the talents of David Dastmalchian , Laura Gordon , and a stellar supporting cast to weave a narrative that is both haunting and innovatively self-aware.

The premise of Late Night with the Devil is deceptively simple: in an attempt to rejuvenate his flagging career and the ratings of his talk show Night Owls, Jack Delroy (played with a mix of desperation and charisma by Dastmalchian) decides to host a Halloween special. The show takes a daring turn by featuring a girl purportedly possessed by demons, aiming to captivate and shock the nation. It’s a decision that, unbeknownst to Jack and his team, sets the stage for an evening of genuine terror and revelation.

What makes this film stand out is not just its plot but the Cairnes brothers’ approach to storytelling. By embedding the narrative within the framework of a late-night show from the ’70s, they capitalize on a mix of nostalgia and the inherent creepiness of dated television aesthetics. The grainy footage, period-appropriate set design, and costume all contribute to a sense of unease and authenticity. It blurs the lines between the film’s reality and our own.

David Dastmalchian’s portrayal of Jack Delroy is central to the film’s success. Dastmalchian navigates the complex layers of his character with ease. Jack is at once a grieving husband, a desperate showman, and ultimately, a man facing the consequences of his hubris. The supporting cast, including Laura Gordon as the psychic June Ross-Mitchell and Ian Bliss as the skeptical producer Carmichael Haig, provide strong performances. They ground the film’s supernatural elements in human emotion and conflict.

The decision to include documentary elements and the found footage enhances the story’s credibility and immersion. This choice respects the horror genre’s traditions and challenges the audience’s perception of reality and performance. The tension escalates on screen and within the viewers, creating an engaging meta-experience.

Despite its many strengths, Late Night with the Devil is not without its shortcomings. The film’s pacing occasionally falters, particularly in the buildup to the Halloween special. Some scenes feel unnecessarily drawn out, which dilutes the tension and delays the gratification of the unfolding horror.

The reliance on genre tropes may feel familiar to horror fans. The film partially challenges conventions but falls short of fully subverting them, missing an opportunity for genre innovation.

However, these criticisms are relatively minor in the grand scheme of the film’s achievements. Late Night with the Devil is a compelling addition to the horror genre. It offers a unique blend of psychological terror and a thoughtful meditation on grief, fame, and the cost of ambition. The Cairnes brothers demonstrate a keen understanding of horror’s power to scare and reflect deeper human truths. The film’s climax offers scares and commentary on public spectacle and twisted desires.

Late Night with the Devil is a film that both celebrates and critiques the horror genre. It is a noteworthy accomplishment in modern horror cinema with strong performances, a clever narrative, and a unique aesthetic. Despite some tropes and pacing issues, they don’t greatly diminish its impact. It deserves to be watched in the dark, preferably late at night, to fully appreciate its craft.

New Horror Movie With 85% Rotten Tomatoes Score May Topple Civil War At The Box Office This Weekend

• Abigail could potentially surpass Civil War at the box office this weekend, with projected earnings between $12-15 million.
• Civil War set a record for A24 with a $25.7 million debut, but Abigail 's positive reviews may help it become a horror hit.
• The buzz around Abigail is strong, with a positive critical reception and high box-office predictions for the horror film.

Abigail can potentially overtake Civil War at the box office this weekend. Civil War is a political thriller from writer-director Alex Garland that hit theaters on April 12. Abigail is a soon-to-be-released horror film about a group of killers who kidnap a young ballerina only to discover that she is secretly a murderous vampire.

Per Variety , new box office predictions for this weekend say that Abigail could beat Civil War at the box office. The source predicts that Abigail will take in between $12 million and $15 million at the domestic box office during its debut this weekend. Civil War is estimated to take in between $10 to $15 million. If these projections turn out to be true, Abigail would top the box office domestically, with Civil War coming in second. Fellow new releases The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Spy x Family Code: White are both looking at roughly $5-6 million.

Will Abigail Be a 2024 Horror Hit?

Civil War has had an impressive box office run since opening. It brought in an impressive $25.7 million domestically during its debut weekend, setting a record for the largest debut for A24 in their history. This record is notable because Civil War ’s budget of $50 million also made the film the highest budget for A24. Because of these huge records, Abigail beating Civil War would be even more notable for the horror film .

Civil War ’s reviews have been as positive as its box office. The film has a positive 82% on Rotten Tomatoes for its critics score, and a 77% audience approval rating. While these scores make Civil War a force to be reckoned with, Abigail ’s early reviews are also positive. At the time of writing, Abigail holds an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes with 41 critics . Abigail does not yet have an audience score, but this positive critical reception is a great sign.

Civil War nearly doubled Hereditary 's opening weekend box office.

Abigail ’s reviews and buzz are just positive enough that the film could manage to follow through on their high box office predictions. After all, the spring has started off well for horror, with The First Omen bringing in a respectable $8.3 million during its opening weekend, with a $36.2 million worldwide gross to date. If Abigail does bring in the higher end of its estimated range, the film could be on its way to becoming the biggest horror debut of 2024 so far.

Abigail will release in theaters April 19.
