Hey guys, welcome back to Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m your host Lucy McPhee.
Now, in our first part I tried my best to cover Netflix Original movies, but this time
I’ve branched out.
Warning, I’ve only listed films that are currently on Netflix Canada, so if you don’t

your favourite scary film is, and while you’re down there be sure to give this video a big

Ok, let’s jump into our list of the Top 5 Scary Movies on Netflix Part 2.
5 The Wailing Released in 2016, The Wailing is a South Korean
horror film about a policeman investigating a series of grisly murders in a small town.
After a disease begins to spread across the small village, causing intense rashes and
violent outbursts, our protagonist meets a young women who tells him about the Japanese
stranger.
Spotted deep in the woods the Japanese man has been seen by locals eating the carcasses
of a deer's, while donning electric red eyes.
Our protagonist begins to have nightmarish dreams about the stranger, and soon after
his daughter becomes sick with the small town plague that’s been haunting the village.
The family soon enlist a shaman to heal the daughter and rid her of the demonic force
that’s plagued her body.
It’s an excellent film, and I don’t want to go into too much detail, because the last
quarter is truly cinema at its finest.
4 As Above So Below I feel like a broken record on this channel,
but I hate the catacombs, they terrify me SO much.
And this film pushes those fears to the max.
As Above So Below is a found-footage film centered on a young explorer who has uncovered
the secret location to the Philosophers Stone...yep, it’s a Harry Potter wannabe, but whatever.
She gathers a group of Paris residents and a trusted friend and they delve deep into
the catacomb tunnels to find a secret passageway leading to the legendary stone.
However, what they experience down in the tunnels is more than any of them bargained
for, they all become plagued by nightmarish hallucinations, centered on their deepest
and darkest fears.
What ensues is the blurring of the real and the imaginary, and what our characters must
do to conquer their own personal demons while lost deep under a city built on bones.
It’s chilling, claustrophobic, but above all, one of the most original horror films
I have seen to date.
3 It Follows A 2014 supernatural horror, It Follows follows
Jay, a young student who goes on a date with a guy and after they sleep together her date
incapacitates her, tying her to a wheelchair and leading her to a large abandoned building.
He informs Jay that she will be followed by an evil entity that only she can see, and
if the entity catches her, it will kill her.
The only way to get rid of it, is to pass it on to someone else by sleeping with them.
We then see a naked women in the distance, slowly walking towards the abandoned building.
It’s a truly frightening introduction to one of the eeriest horror films from the past
decade, and what ensues is equally as terrifying.
Jay bands together with a handful of friends in an attempt to murder the entity, which
as we know from most supernatural horrors, you can’t kill something that’s not alive.
The climax is intense, and the ending bittersweet, but for a film that has a shape shifting antagonist,
and relies on classic horror movie tropes, it’s one of the scariest films ever made
in my opinion.
2 The Conjuring You can all breathe a sigh of relief.
The film you have literally ALL been requesting is here.
Yes, I read the comments, and I can safely say 80% of them were filled with anger at
the fact The Conjuring didn’t make our part one.
But, like I said, I did my best to steer clear of big name films, and focus solely on smaller,
indie flicks.
However, the moment is finally here.
Released in 2013, The Conjuring is a supernatural horror directed by James Wan.
It follows the story of the Perron family and the evil forces lurking inside their new
farmhouse.
After a handful of paranormal events occur, such as a clapping ghost lurking in the dark,
and a spirit atop the childrens wardrobe, the Perron’s are forced to call in two demonologists,
Ed and Lorraine Warren.
They investigate the house, discovering it once belonged to an accused witch, Bathsheba,
who cursed the land after sacrificing her own baby.
What ensues is the spirit world mixing with the living, the mother eventually becoming
possessed by Bathsheba herself, and an intense exorcism that breaks all of our hearts.
Though scary, it is a very moving film about the bond and will of one family to overcome
all obstacles, however malevolent they are.
1 Apostle This is a brand new addition to the Netflix
archive, only being released on the streaming service in October, and I have to say, it’s
scary, traumatic, bloody, and just plane weird, in all the right ways.
Set in 1905, the film follows Thomas Richardson who must travel to a remote Welsh Island to
free his sister from a mysterious cult.
He poses as a convert, and quickly learns that the island remains fertile through blood
sacrifice, and all members are made to leave an offering outside of their doors every night.
The founders begin to suspect an infiltrator amongst his followers, and what ensues is
a bloody showdown between not just Thomas and the founders, but also the other followers
who are slowly being awakened to the grim nature of the cult.
There is family sacrifice, purification rituals, and a hand crank torture device that still
haunts me.
It has a slow and eerie start, but very quickly becomes a gory thrill fest, and the ending
holds a very shocking turn of events for our protagonist.
Well there we have it!
