2020 was a strange year—and horror reflected that tension in all the right ways.
From psychological slow-burns to high-concept thrillers, these films captured isolation,
paranoia, and dread with style. If you’re building your next watchlist, start here.
1) The Invisible Man (2020)
Poster: The Invisible Man (2020).
A sharp modern rework that turns trauma and control into pure suspense. Tense, smart, and relentlessly paced.
2) His House (2020)
Poster: His House (2020).
A haunting story that blends supernatural horror with grief and displacement. Atmospheric and emotionally heavy.
3) Possessor (2020)
Poster: Possessor (2020).
Cold, violent, and hypnotic—sci-fi horror with a brutal edge. Not for the faint-hearted, but unforgettable.
4) Host (2020)
Poster: Host (2020).
A clever “screenlife” horror built around a Zoom séance. Short, effective, and surprisingly scary.
5) Saint Maud (2019/2020)
Poster: Saint Maud.
Psychological horror with a slow, unnerving descent. A haunting performance and an ending that hits hard.
6) Relic (2020)
Poster: Relic (2020).
A deeply human horror film about family, aging, and what we inherit. Subtle, eerie, emotionally grounded.
7) The Platform (El Hoyo)
Poster: The Platform (El Hoyo).
More dystopian thriller than classic horror, but its tension and social bite make it a must-watch.
