The 5 best horror movies to watch on Netflix this March
Another month, another great excuse to watch some horror movies.
Horror movies are a yearlong pursuit for us here at Polygon. Sure, we’ve got our list of the best horror movies you can watch now, or the best horror movies of 2023 ranked by scariness. But each month, we also pull together a smaller list of five picks perfect for that time of year.
This month, we’ve picked out five great horror movies for you to watch on Netflix. Some have cast members or people working behind the scenes of this month’s most exciting new release, John Wick: Chapter 4. Others are from creatives who have newly announced projects. Some of them are seasonally appropriate. Others still just rule, and are always a good watch.
Without further ado, let’s dig into it.
