Yep, but what about my questions :D I already use unblock.us but haven't tried switching regions yet

With your US Netflix subscription you can access all regions using Unblock Us.

That's how I watch Stargate SG1 from Swedish Netflix. With my US Netflix account. In Australia.

Do the trial first and make sure it will work with your primary netflix viewing source. I couldn't get it to work with my PC but it works with my Vita, tablet and phone.

On my setup at least, I just put the DNS settings on the wireless router that's connected to our cable modem. Every device connected to the wireless benefits.
 
I've seen quite a bit of horror on Netflix streaming and I've put together a list of recommended movies on the service, based on my viewing experience. The top movies are in no particular order as I would recommend watching all of them for a myriad of reasons.

Insidious

The Shrine

The Cabin in the Woods

Let the Right One In

Hellraiser - a lot of these are good. I stick mostly with the older ones.

Halloween 6 - most of these are good and they rotate in and out. Just search for Halloween

Yellow Brick Road

Children of the Corn - there are a lot of these. The first one is good. The rest are hit and miss.

American Horror Story - not a movie but, really good.

Honorable Mentions
  • Black Death
  • Blood
  • The Ward
  • Pontypool
  • Exorcismus
  • Blood
  • Grave Encounters. Part 2 if you really liked the first.
  • The Devil Inside
  • Hostel - whichever are available
  • Apartment 143

Serial Killer Series - these aren't the greatest movies but, if you enjoy messed up shit they are worth a watch.
  • Ted Bundy
  • Dahmer
  • Ed Gein
  • Gacy

I have around 2,200 movies rated, most of them horror, so I've probably missed a few but, these are some of the ones that stuck with me and I would watch again.

Man, Insidious starts out great but gets properly stupid later on. Can't remember the last time I watched a horror that didn't have that problem.

Is that the original Let The Right One In? Amazing book, haven't seen either film yet.

Will add the list to the OP when I get home.

The only two I don't agree with is apartment 143, and The Devil Inside. Especially TDI. Such a troll film that doesn't deserve even an honorable mention. It shits on you for watching one of the most cliche, predictable, horror films since movies were invented.
 
I watched 'The Stand' (1994) lately. It contains a who's who of 90s TV stars! I still think it's some of Stephen King's best work, yet sadly it's presentation is very dated now. For a story that is over 20 years old it still holds up today.

I would love to see a remake.

Yeah, it's the foreign, and better, version.

I watched a horror movie on Netflix where Jenna Jameson turned into a zombie and shot pool balls out of her vagina. In that context TDI wasn't quite an atrocity to me.

He missed Grave Encounters. That movie should be in everyone's list. I agree with the devil inside though.

Have you seen The Pact? I thought it was pretty creepy, and it was nice to see Casper Van Dien in a decent movie.

These 2 were entertaining IMO. Citadel was the better movie but storage 24 was still a fun watch.

The second one isnt showing up.

[quote="Bl4ckSunsh1n3, post: 56615968"]Zombie Strippers. It looks like it was taken down. I watched it a few months back. The dynamic content can be frustrating.


Not as good as part one IMO.[/QUOTE]

Ah I remember the movie now. Never watched it though.

How is part 2?

Part 2 isn't bad, but the first one is just really good for a "found footage" movie. One of the best in my opinion.

Also Zombie Strippers is just an oddball movie, but the title speaks for itself. I liked it because of Robert Englund. I have the unrated version on bluray. Never ever watch Stripperland though. Ugh!

Good post. Thanks. I have seen the ones i didnt quote. I have most of the others in my queue. I will watch them soon. I love Netflix horror movies, because most of the time they involve movies ive never heard of and i can discover fresh.

And i would also ad to the sentiment here that people should watch Grave Encounters, very fun and creepy movie. Part 2 wasnt as good, but maybe worth a watch if you really loved the first.
 

Error

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
watched the adventures of tintin once I got over the creepy looking character models I enjoyed it, you know the models remind me of that ultra realistic mario cg model lol

would've prefer this movie with hand drawn 2d animation.

They added Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.

Man, I used to love that movie when I was younger. Joel Grey is awesome in it.

Man they added some actual classics in that list that weren't highlighted. :p


Chinatown
Breakin' 2 : Electric Boogaloo
Daywatch (should've added Nightwatch)
Disturbing Behavior

Agree 100%. Both of those films were giant wastes if time clearly looking to just cash in on the Mockumentary Horror genre with as minimal effort as possible. They're not even so-bad-they're-good flicks. Just bad.

Grave Encounters was much better at taking the Mockumentary Horror genre and doing something worthwhile with it. I wasn't expecting it to be good, but it was.

Grave Encounters 2 is good as well, better than the first I'd argue, but the first act is probably the worst first act of anything ever. It's so bad that I couldn't blame you if you decided to just cut it off. But once things get rolling it's pretty damn good.

Pontypool deserves more love too. Very unique take on the ''apocalyptic plague" premise and succeeds in being engaging while remaining extremely minimalist.

I agree with everything, except the GE2 was better ;).

Pontypool is amazing as well. I love that movie. It is a true hidden gem.

Heh true. Chinatown is the only actual classic. The others are ones I just like. I still say they should've added Nightwatch before Daywatch though since it's a sequel. Or is Nightwatch already on Netflix?

That reminds me: Nightwatch with Ewan McGregor is awesome as well. I've digressed enough though.
