These are the top 10 hollywood horror films available on Amazon Prime Video right now.
1. Black Box (2020)
Mind tricks are rife in the horror sci-fi movie Black Box, demonstrating how dreadful it is to waste the mind. Amnesia has befallen single father Nolan Wright, who survived his wife's death in a vehicle accident. Nolan, who is having trouble recalling simple duties at work and in his personal life, contacts a neurologist who believes he would be a good fit for her experimental black box treatment.
Nolan is forced to fight the monsters in his memories through repeated mental excursions, but the more he explores, the more he begins to think that his past is not what it seems. Black Box, a Blumhouse Television production filled with turns, twists, and traumas that force Nolan to come to terrifying conclusions, explores the extent of our mental control and the extent to which individuals will go in order to protect the lives of those they care about.
2. Bones And All (2022)
Bones and All would result if you took Call Me by Your Name, placed it in Ronald Reagan's America, and concentrated on the story of two young cannibals falling in love. Bones, a romantic horror film directed by Luca Guadagnino, starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell as young adults attempting to deal with their thirst for flesh and, eventually, living apart on the outskirts of society from one another.
These two "eaters" struggle to face their pasts, their familial ties, and their impulses as they band together and journey across America in the late 1980s in search of Maren's (Russell) mother, who abandoned her when she was a little child. According to the critic for EW, the film is an arthouse elegy to growing up and finding it difficult to fit in. It centers on "two crazy kids with hope in their hearts and a femur bone, running as fast they can."
3. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
Although YouTubers engage in a lot of questionable practices in order to increase their viewership, one channel's live stream in Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum ends with more viewers dying than living. The Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital serves as the setting for this South Korean found footage horror film, which centers on a web series creator and the six individuals he enlists to investigate the abandoned structure.
The group is drawn to room 402, a former intensive care unit, where they come across dangerous situations and unexplainable supernatural beings. Taking inspiration from the actual Gonjiam Psychiatric Hospital, a South Korean institution that was formerly regarded as one of the nation's most haunted structures before it was razed in 2018, the movie begins slowly but by the time the credits roll, you'll be running for the lights.
4. Goodnight Mommy (2015)
Horror films are full of scary twins, but the most frightful one in recent memory is Austria's Goodnight Mommy, which debuted at the Venice International Film Festival in 2014 and went on general release the following year. Goodnight Mommy is a psychological horror story about twin boys, age nine, who start to wonder who their mother is after she returns from extensive cosmetic surgery looking very different from the parent they knew.
The boys swear to destroy the impostor and track down their actual mother's whereabouts, but their inquiry reveals things that are too terrible to comprehend. We predicted in our 2015 assessment that a "inevitable remake" would occur, and the film gods delivered in 2022. The American version of the film, which stars Naomi Watts alongside Nicholas and Cameron Crovetti from Big Little Lies and The Boys, is eerie, but fans of the original agree it lacks the poignancy and potency of the original, which are both credited to Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, the film's co-directors.
5. Hell House LLC (2015)
The notoriety of Stephen Cognetti's low-budget mockumentary Hell House LLC—a haunted house attraction where tragedy strikes—has been considerably tarnished by the mediocre sequels. That is regrettable. The eerie Hell House LLC revolves around a group of friends who purchase an old, abandoned hotel with the intention of turning it into a successful haunt, only to discover that a sinister force resides in the basement.
The best independent horror comes from Hell House LLC, which forgoes grandiose storylines and fireworks in favor of nuanced, periphery horrors that beg for repeat viewings (or, at the very least, a lot of rewinding). Clearly as unsettling in real life as it is on film, even standard shocks, such as a mannequin's head that turns while the camera isn't watching, are given a new meaning in this environment.
6. Lake Mungo (2010)
Australia looks like the perfect location for a horror film, since it appears like everything about the continent is meant to murder you. However, in the Australian psychological horror film Lake Mungo, which is set in Ararat, the terror necessary to give in to the depths of human feeling is what gives rise to the fear rather than outside enemies. The narrative of Lake Mungo begins with the accidental drowning of sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer. When Alice's brother Matthew returns home, he thinks he sees Alice's ghost; however, the Palmer family's inquiry shows that Alice was seeing death omens.
Rather than offering a sense of closure, the family starts to realize that the more details they discover about Alice's private life, the less they know about her tragic past. At its core, Lake Mungo is a horror film about human behavior and coping with bereavement, shot in a mockumentary format with found video.

7. Master (2022)
In her debut feature film, Mariama Diallo focuses on the dark side of academia, revealing the disturbing pattern in which universities use a phony sense of diversity to cover up their racist foundations. Longtime faculty member Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) becomes the first Black master at the prestigious New England university of Ancaster.
As part of her new position, Gale decides to defend first-year student Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee) against discriminatory jokes that seem to come from nowhere and are perpetrated by nameless people. The true horror of Master, despite its abundance of gory images, is the depressing knowledge that "things will just continue as before," as the critic for EW put it. Any story taking place in a location similar to Ancaster, with its detestable trinkets left untouched on display, would have to bear a resemblance to a ghost story.
8. Saint Maud (2019)
A religious encounter is frequently followed by religious conversion. Moments of comprehension and bliss give birth to commitment, which leads to what? Many a saint finds the sharp contrast between life before and after Christ terrifying, and writer-director Rose Glass's debut movie is one of the best-performing genre works about the difficulties of conversion.
Maud, played by Morfydd Clark, is a quiet nurse with a troubled past who finds it impossible to resist incorporating her newly discovered faith into her care for hospice patients. The Wrap praises Saint Maud as Glass' impressive first film, creating a tense atmosphere of psychological horror before transitioning confidently into a more intense climax.
9. Smile (2022)
You get lines when you frown, but you can die when you smile. In Smile, a supernatural horror movie, Sosie Bacon plays Rose Cotter, a clinical psychiatrist employed at a public hospital who observes a puzzling suicide by a patient. Soon later, Rose discovers that she is plagued by a force that controls individuals and makes them perform terrible deeds while grinning demonically. Rose, fearing she has been cursed, tries to find the source of this fatal pattern in an effort to break free from its hold and prevent spreading it to others.
Fear not—Smile delivers up "sadistic jump scares" and a tale so bizarre that, according to EW's critic, "you might need a bucket of bleach (and several hours of TikTok kitten videos) to cleanse your brain afterward." Smile, which features some of the best movie marketing in recent memory and was directed by Parker Finn with the goal of giving viewers the impression that they are having a "sustained panic attack," will not make you smile—rather, it will make you feel afraid.
10. Suspiria (2018)
Director Luca Guadagnino made a bold artistic choice by following up his smash film Call Me by Your Name with Suspiria, a period adaptation of Dario Argento's 1977 horror classic starring the legendary Tilda Swinton as three distinct characters (one of whom is male), Dakota Johnson, and modern-day scream queen Mia Goth. The coven of witches who operate the dancing company that a sheltered young woman named Susie (Johnson) joins when she travels to Germany presents her with a whole other kind of company.
EW's reviewer praises certain parts of the movie, especially a scene where Susie auditions for a role while other dancer is being violently thrown around in a nearby studio, twisting like a possessed Swiss Army knife.
