Rent These:
28 Days Later (2002)
Netflix synopsis: Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors (including Cillian Murphy and Brendan Gleeson) are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs — and it’s absolutely impossible to contain. Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) directs. [Recommended by Jess]
From Within (2008)
Netflix synopsis: When a rash of mysterious suicides strikes the idyllic burg of Grovetown, it galvanizes the faith of the largely Christian community, which staunchly clings to its evangelical beliefs. Convinced that the deaths are the work of something far more sinister than sheer fate, teenagers Lindsay (Elizabeth Rice) and Aidan (Thomas Dekker) band together to unearth the real culprits … and uncover a shocking revelation. [Recommended by Rob]
Autopsy (2008)
Netflix synopsis: On their way home from Mardi Gras, a group of young partygoers crashes their car in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, an ambulance mysteriously shows up to take them to Mercy Hospital — but they seem to be the only patients. What’s more, the staff — including a medic (Robert Patrick) who drinks spinal fluid fresh from the source and a delusional nurse — is giving them the creeps. Jessica Lowndes co-stars in this gory supernatural thriller. [Recommended by Rob and Lindsay]
Inside (2008)
Netflix synopsis: Four months after her husband’s tragic death, Sarah (Alysson Paradis) prepares to head to the hospital to deliver her miracle baby. But what should be a blessed Christmas Eve event turns terrifying when a crazed woman (Béatrice Dalle) arrives at her home intent on taking Sarah’s baby. Taking up whatever sharp implement at hand, the psychotic woman relentlessly pursues the pregnant Sarah, determined to perform a grisly brand of C-section. [Recommended by Lindsay]
Saw (2004)
Netflix synopsis: Would you kill to live? That’s what two men, Adam (Leigh Whannell) and Gordon (Cary Elwes), have to ask themselves when they’re abducted by a serial killer and paired up in a deadly situation — holed up in a prison constructed with such ingenuity that escape seems impossible. Attempting to break free might kill them, but their captor could decide at any moment that it’s time to dismantle their bodies in his signature way. [Recommended by Will]
