Bill Skarsgard is absolutely menacing as Pennywise, the supernatural clown terrorizing the small town of Derry by pulling innocent children into his sewer-y lair, while the group of bullied kids who form The Losers Club to stop him - Jaeden Lieberher, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Chosen Jacobs - give the film its emotional center. This reboot from writer Cary Fukunaga manages to do the impossible: improve upon a cult classic horror film. The only problem? STD in this case stands for “sexually transmitted demon.” Her only hope to not end up dead is to pass the curse onto someone else - or figure out why this being is haunting people in the first place.Ĭast: Bill Skarsgard, Jaeden Lieberher, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard The film follows a young woman named Jay (Monroe), who contracts an STD after a backseat hookup. Maika Monroe carries this supernatural thriller that once had 2014-era hook-up culture shaking in its boots. What elevates this nightmare is how Flanagan puts the audience in Siegel’s shoes, having his villain prowl and stalk and rather creepily invade her home without her knowledge. The premise is fairly simple: a deaf woman (Kate Siegel), reeling from a break-up and seeking solitude in a cabin in the wilderness, is terrorized by a masked killer. Mike Flanagan has produced some spine-chilling work for Netflix in recent years with his Haunting of Hill House series and Midnight Mass but he excels at horror in its feature-length form as well, and this film proves it. All of which we’ve just invented for the very purpose of making this list.Cast: Kate Siegel, John Gallagher Jr., Michael Trucco Since we do have so many great genre movies to choose from, we’ve split them up into sub-genres.
