Best thriller movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
Triangle (2009)
After a storm ensues, a group of friends aboard a yacht jump onto a mysterious ship for safety.
I watched this movie without knowing anything about it beforehand, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!
It’s a really fascinating film that’ll leave you wondering what the heck really happened.
It’s definitely an underrated horror movie on Prime Video if you’re looking for hidden gems to watch.

Backcountry (2014)
Backcountry is loosely based on a true story of a real Ontario couple that got chased by a man-eating black bear in backcountry.
It’s actually very terrifying, and it’s made me scared of doing any “real” hiking in Canada lol.
It’s terrible to say that I haven’t seen many great Canadian horror movies, but that’s the honest truth.
Backcountry is definitely one of the good Canadian horror movies though!

It Follows (2014)
After Jay sleeps with her new boyfriend for the first time, she finds out she’s contracted a fatal curse that gets passed from victim to victim via sex.
I watched this as a teenager almost a decade ago and it was pretty creepy back then!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
Madres (2021)
A pregnant Mexican-American couple move to a migrant farming community in 1970s California, where the wife starts to experience strange symptoms and terrifying visions.
I honestly thought parts of Madres were pretty ridiculous (why is she chopping veggies without looking?! Why isn’t she waddling as a pregnant lady?!)
BUT, after watching until the end and seeing that it’s actually based on true events, I thought it was an important watch.

Evil Eye (2020)
A superstitious mother believes her daughter’s new boyfriend is a ghost of her own past.
Majority of the cast is South Asian, which is awesome to see in a Hollywood movie!
Evil Eye is more of a thriller than a horror, so even the most scaredy-cat friends of yours will be able to handle this one.

Animales Humanos (2020)
After a couple’s young daughter gets bitten by their neighbour’s dog, they find themselves living in terror.
Animales Humanos is in Spanish, so you’ll have to read subtitles.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Estranged (2015)
January returns home after an accident that leads to memory loss and puts her in a wheelchair.
As she starts to recover, she slowly begins to remember why she left.
Estranged is both disturbing and sad, but it’s definitely worth a watch.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Static (2012)
While a young novelist and his wife are coping with the loss of their child, a panicked girl shows up at their door claiming she’s being stalked by masked strangers.
The twist in Static is pretty good, and Milo Ventimiglia (from This Is Us on Netflix) stars in it!

The Rental (2020)
Two couples rent an oceanside getaway home for a weekend, and start to suspect that their host might be spying on them.
You might not want to stay at Airbnbs after watching The Rental, but it’s still worth a watch.
Dave Franco also directed and produced the movie!

The Final Wish (2018)
After his father’s death, a man returns home to help his grief-stricken mother.
While going through his dad’s belongings, he comes across a mysterious item that is much more than it seems.
Michael Welch (Eric from Twilight) and Lin Shaye (Elise from Insidious) star in The Final Wish.
I really enjoyed this horror movie, and it reminded me a lot of Wish Upon with Joey King, which is also on Prime Video!

Best supernatural horror movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
The Amityville Horror (2005)
A young family moves into a beautiful new home in a small town, and soon discover why the house had such an affordable price tag: the former tenant murdered his family after supposedly being possessed by the devil.
Ryan Reynolds and Chloë Grace Moretz star in this supernatural horror, which was actually inspired by a book that was based on a real-life mass murder.
If you’ve seen The Conjuring movies, you might find it interesting that the late paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren were actually amongst the first to investigate the famous Amityville haunting.

Dream House (2011)
A successful New York publisher leaves his lucrative job to spend more time with his wife and two daughters, and they move to their dream home in a small town.
As they settle in, they discover murders happened in the home, and they try to figure out the mystery of what happened.
Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Naomi Watts all star in Dream House, and the twist is pretty good!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Woman in Black (2012)
A lawyer travels to a house of a recently deceased woman, and after discovering her spirit is still in the house, he learns she’s killing the village children.
The Woman in Black was one of the first movies I saw with Daniel Radcliffe after Harry Potter, and I didn’t love it the first time I saw it.
Was it my bias of him playing a role other than Harry Potter? Maybe.
Anyway, I liked it a lot more the next time I rewatched it!

Mirrors (2008)
An ex-cop takes a job as a security guard at the damaged ruins of a department store, and uncovers a supernatural force using mirrors to try to gain entrance into this world.
I watched this movie as a teen and it literally scarred me forever.
There’s a particular scene in the first movie that I’ll never forget, and you’ll know it when you see it.
Kiefer Sutherland and Amy Smart star in the first film, which you can watch on Prime Video!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Grudge (2004)
You’ve definitely heard of The Grudge horror franchise, and it’s an American remake of the iconic Japanese horror movie.
The Grudge curse starts when someone dies in extreme rage or sorrow, and it gets passed on when someone encounters the entity, which then passes onto that person, and continues repeatedly.

Mama (2012)
Two little girls go missing in the woods after their parents die, and their Uncle Lucas and his girlfriend Annabel search frantically for them.
Miraculously, the girls are found 5 years later in a decaying cabin, and Lucas and Annabel take them in.
They try to reintroduce the children to a normal life, but something sinister lurks behind them.
Jessica Chastain and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones on Crave) both star in Mama!

The Manor (2021)
After suffering a stroke, Judith decides to move into a nursing home, where she suspects something supernatural is preying on the residents.
I love how original The Manor is, and the ending was actually surprising!

Nocturne (2020)
Timid Juliet stumbles across a mysterious notebook from her recently deceased classmate, and things in her life seemingly begin to turn in her favour.
Once overshadowed by her accomplished twin sister, she begins to outshine her in every way she dreamed of.
Sydney Sweeney and Julie Benz star in Nocturne!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
Silent Hill franchise (2006 & 2012)
Silent Hill is a strange town and demonic alternate dimension filled with creepy monsters.
The movies are actually based on a video game of the same name, which is based on a real town (with fictional monsters, of course).
They also filmed both movies in Canada, which is kinda cool!
2 films available on Prime Video, watch the trailer for the first and second movies
Friend Request (2016)
Laura, a popular college student, decides to accept an online friend request from Marina, a social outcast.
When Laura decides to unfriend her, Marina takes her own life, and things start to take a dark turn.
Alycia Debnam-Carey from Fear the Walking Dead (also on Prime Video) stars as the main character!

Dark Skies (2013)
A couple and their two sons live a peaceful life in the suburbs until strange things start to happen in their home.
I’m not crazy about extraterrestrial movies, but Dark Skies is great – especially because it’s more of a horror film!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
Black Box (2020)
After waking up from a coma with memory loss, a single father undergoes an experimental treatment to try to remember his past.
If you’re into Black Mirror, you’ll definitely like Black Box.
Solos and Soulmate are both great sci-fi TV shows on Prime that you’ll also enjoy if you like this sort of stuff – neither are horror, though!

Best psychological horror movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
Get Out (2017)
Chris’ girlfriend invites him to a weekend getaway to meet her parents, and he starts to discover some disturbing things.
Get Out was absolutely mind-blowing when it first came out, and it’s definitely one of the best psychological thrillers out there.
It was written and directed by the genius Jordan Peele, who also came out with Us and Nope!
It’s crazy that Get Out was also his debut into horror – he started out as a comedian on Mad TV!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Split (2016)
Kevin has revealed 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, but there’s still one that remains submerged.
He kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls in an isolated underground facility, and is thrust into a war for survival within himself.
This M. Night Shyamalan movie stars James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Bruce Willis.
Split is the second movie in the Unbreakable trilogy, with Unbreakable (on Disney+) and Glass also being in the same universe.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Wish Upon (2017)
Clare receives a mysterious old box from her father for her 17th birthday, and she discovers it has the ability to grant her wishes.
Things start to take a dark turn when she realizes the people around her die in gruesome ways whenever she makes a wish.
I honestly wasn’t expecting much from Wish Upon when I decided to watch it, but it was surprisingly really good.
Plus, Joey King is just an incredible actress to see on-screen.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Knock at the Cabin (2023)
While vacationing at a remote cabin in the woods, a young family are taken hostage by four armed strangers.
The strangers demand they make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse and save the world, and the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.
Dave Bautista and Rupert Grint both star in Knock at the Cabin, and of course, M. Night Shyamalan also does a cameo in the film!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Lie (2018)
A father and daughter spot the girl’s best friend on the side of the road while on their way to dance camp, and their good intentions soon result in terrible consequences.
While it’s not an amazing horror movie, it’s a decent watch, especially because I love Joey King as an actress.
The twist is pretty wild too!

Train to Busan (2016)
Train to Busan is without a doubt the best zombie horror film I have ever seen.
While Seok-woo and his daughter are aboard a train to the city of Busan, they get trapped in the middle of a zombie outbreak.
It’s absolutely terrifying, especially since the zombies actually run fast.
The film is in Korean, so you’ll have to read subtitles, but it’s absolutely worth it.
There’s also a sequel called Peninsula, but it’s a completely different story and I didn’t love it as much as the first movie.
If you like Train to Busan, you should also watch Kingdom, a Netflix series about zombies invading ancient Korea (who also run fast), and #Alive, another South Korean Netflix movie about zombies!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Descent (2005)
Flesh-eating creatures prey on people who dare to wander into their caves.
Let’s just say that you won’t want to venture into any caves after watching The Descent. *shudders*
And maybe don’t watch the Descent films if you’re claustrophobic.
There are two movies in the franchise, but only the first movie is available to stream on Prime Video!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Invitation (2022)
After the death of her mother, Evie takes a DNA test and discovers a long-lost cousin she never knew she had.
He invites her to a lavish wedding in the English countryside, where she meets a handsome aristocratic host.
She soon realizes something more sinister is going on, and she’s thrust into a nightmare of survival.
The Invitation starts out really promising, but it sort of falls off near the ending.
Nevertheless, it’s still an overall decent watch, and Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei in Game of Thrones on Crave) even stars as the lead!

Blood Fest (2018)
Horror fans flock to Blood Fest, a celebration of iconic horror movies, and attendees start dying.
It’s up to three teens and their knowledge of horror movie clichés to stop the bad guys and survive.
If you’re into horror comedies and gore, you’ll definitely be into Blood Fest.

Totally Killer (2023)
35 years after the murders of three teens, a masked serial killer returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim.
When teenage Jamie comes face-to-face with the masked killer, she accidentally time travels back in 1987, where she teams up with her teenage mother to take down the killer once and for all.
I was expecting this movie to be pretty corny, but I actually enjoyed it and laughed out loud quite a bit.
Kiernan Shipka stars as Jamie in Totally Killer, as well as Lochlyn Munro, who plays Betty’s dad in Riverdale on Netflix!

Best slasher & gory movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
Jeepers Creepers: Reborn (2022)
This cult horror franchise is all about the Creeper, who goes around killing and eating people.
In the first movie, two college students and siblings rush home while being chased by a man-eating monster called the Creeper.
The movies are quite terrifying and gruesome (especially the first), so ya might not want to watch this one if you’re not a fan of man-eating monsters.
A young Justin Long stars in the cult horror franchise Jeepers Creepers, and you can only watch latest movie on Prime Video.

Texas Chainsaw (2013)
Two siblings set out to their family’s old farmhouse with their friends, where they discover a group of crazed, murderous outcasts living next-door.
Alexandra Daddario stars in the seventh instalment of this iconic and gory franchise.
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Green Inferno (2013)
After a group of college activists get caught in a plane crash in the Amazon, they find themselves in an even stickier situation when they get abducted by a tribe of cannibals.
The Green Inferno is hella disturbing and extremely gory, and tbh it literally made me sick to my stomach.
Apparently it’s inspired by a movie called Cannibal Holocaust from the 80s, and I don’t think I could watch it lol.
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
Open 24 Hours (2020)
After setting her boyfriend on fire, a woman gets a job as a late-night attendant at a gas station.
I randomly stumbled across Open 24 Hours while browsing Prime Video, and was surprisingly impressed by how good it was.
It’s a modern slasher horror with a good amount of gore, and it’s pretty terrifying!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
Pet (2016)
A lonely man kidnaps a beautiful woman and traps her in a cage beneath the animal shelter he works at.
If you’re into movie twists, you’ll definitely enjoy watching Pet.
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
V/H/S franchise (2013 & 2014)
The V/H/S series is a group of anthology films featuring found-footage shorts.
The whole found-footage thing might be overdone, but V/H/S does a good job of keeping it scary.
V/H/S/2 is probably the creepiest out of all of them, and you can watch both the second and third movies on Prime Video!
There are a total of 6 movies in the franchise, with a new movie coming out in 2024, and there are also two spinoff movies.
2 films available on Prime Video, watch the trailers for the second and third movies
Sorority Row (2009)
A group of sorority sisters pull a prank that goes wrong, and they vow to cover it up to protect their futures.
A year later, a deadly stalker begins hunting them, one by one.
Sorority Row is a classic slasher movie, but I do really enjoy watching it, and I’ve probably seen it at least a dozen times!
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
Black Christmas (2006)
A group of sorority sisters get stranded in their campus house during a snowstorm, all while a vicious killer is on the loose.
Lacey Chabert (Gretchen from Mean Girls) and Michelle Trachtenberg (from Ice Princess on Disney+) both star in Black Christmas, which is actually a loose remake of the 1974 film of the same name!
