A handpicked archive of horror cinema. No algorithmic recommendations. No paid placements. Just films that deserve to be seen, rated honestly, and never forgotten.
Me and my friends always struggled to find good horror movies. We'd ask AI and it never gave us what we actually wanted — our taste is specific and AI just doesn't get it.
So I built this site myself, tailored to exactly what we love: filtered by genre, vibe, and what we know works for us. No algorithm guessing. No filler. Just horror that hits the way we want it to.
That's The List — a personal archive that grew into something worth sharing. If your taste runs dark, specific, and a little obsessive, you're in the right place.
The List is a curated horror watchlist built for people who take the genre seriously. Every film was chosen for a reason — whether it redefined a subgenre, achieved something technically remarkable, or simply delivers an experience you won't find anywhere else.
Films are rated using IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores as reference points, not gospel. A 5.9 on IMDb can still be a masterpiece. A 100% on RT can still be boring. Use the scores as orientation, not instruction.
Horror is not one thing. The List organises every film into one of nine distinct subgenres — each with its own logic, its own lineage, and its own specific flavour of dread.
Every film on this list was evaluated against the same standards. Nothing is here by accident.
Paste free API keys once — they stay in your browser. TMDB powers verified streaming (only shows platforms that actually have the film). OMDb adds official MPAA ratings from IMDb.
Start on the Films page and browse by subgenre. Use the sort controls to surface the highest-rated films first. Click any card to open a detail view with a full description and trailer link.
Use the Search page when you have something specific in mind — you can search by title, year, genre name, or descriptive words.
Hit + Add on any film card to add it to your Watchlist. Create an account to sync your list on this device, rate films with the community star system (half-stars supported), and browse by Studios like A24 or Blumhouse.

Each film/series page lists the streaming services it's available on, plus a JustWatch search link to find it wherever you are. The List doesn't host any video itself.

The List is a curated database of horror films and TV series, including ratings, trailers, content guides, streaming availability, community reviews, watchlists, and AI-assisted recommendations ("Mood Search"). The List does not host, stream, or distribute any video content — all trailer and streaming links point to third-party platforms.
Some features (watchlists, ratings, reviews, lists, membership) require an account. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

You can cancel anytime from Settings → Membership. See our Refund Policy for details on cancellations and refunds.
Reviews, ratings, lists, and profile information you submit ("User Content") remain yours, but by posting it you grant The List a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display it on the Service (including on public profiles and community pages).

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the Service:

We use industry-standard providers (Supabase, Paddle) with encryption in transit. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
The Service is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Contact us to exercise these rights.
