There is nothing more horrific than the current ongoing pandemic that the world is dealing with right now. The ‘new’ normal has enveloped us in some fearful dwelling of our own and our minds haven’t been on rest since last year. While binge-watching is actually something we can all put on our resume, the question is what you binge watch, and what food for the brain are you snacking on? I enjoy a good watch which rattles the brain and if you too want to skip the run-of-the-mill clichéd horror flicks on TV, then here are some intelligently made horror flicks which will force you to understand before getting scared:

1. Ready Or Not

This American horror-comedy promises to keep you entertained till the end. Grace, a woman who is convinced that her dreams of marrying the love of her life are fulfilled, is in for a weird chase-and–run situation after she must hide from dusk till dawn from her new family who chase her to finish her.

2. The Hole In The Ground 

This supernatural thriller tells the story of Sarah’s son, who disappears in the woods behind her house one night. After he returns, something eerie about him convinces her that perhaps it's not her son who returned.

3. I Trapped The Devil 

Nothing like mixing the element of Satan with Christmas! This one tells the tale of a couple who visit the man’s brother for Christmas for a family reunion, but are surprised to see a hostage in the basement , who he claims is the devil himself.

4. The Silence 

This is based on a dystopian theme where the world is under attack and a family is seeking refuge with their daughter who lost her hearing capacity when she was young. The twist in the tale happens when they meet a cult which is super interested in exploring the depth of the heightened senses and use it.

5. Tigers Are Not Afraid 

The ‘horror’ in this movie is basically not a ghost shifting around  in corridors but the humans around us. This dark fairy tale narrates the story of a young girl who is abandoned by her mother and later joins a gang of street children who try to survive the violence of the big bad world around them.

6. Girl On The Third Floor 

This might not be a huge commercial success, but for many, this was a great watch. This psychological horror film follows a man who is trying to renovate the mansion for his growing family, only to realise that the house has some plans of its own!
