Horror Film: Horror films frighten us because they show us things we can't even imagine. They amplify the fears we bury deep inside. But what if horror films proved that fear is actually a consequence of our mistakes? There are many such films. Many good horror films have been made. Some films are purely terrifying, like slasher monsters, while others frighten people psychologically. From haunted mansions to mind-bending psychological thrillers, there are many genres of horror films available on Netflix.
