5 Indie Horror Movies to Watch This Halloween!

In another life I’m an indie horror movie actress. I’m a huge fan of indie films, particularly the scary ones because I think the stories are more interesting and they take more risks with the subjects and scripts making them the best movies for Halloween.indie-films-indie-actress-halloween

Here are some of my favorite scary indie films to watch this Halloween season or any other day of the year.

American Mary

This has been one of my favorite indie movies for a while. I’m a huge fan of the twin directors, the Soska sisters and think this is one of the most original horror films starring a female protagonist out there. This movie takes you deep into the world of body modification when a broke medical student starts doing untraditional surgeries on people looking to transform themselves.

It Follows

It Follows is a super scary indie film about the troubles humans have with intimacy. When a teen sleeps with a new guy she’s followed around by relentless evil forces. The only escape it to sleep with someone else and pass it on to them. The ending is very much up for interpretation.

The Invitation

This somewhat glamourous indie horror flick set in the Hollywood Hills does a great job putting horror into seemingly normal scenes. After being estranged from his ex-wife for years after the tragic death of their child, Will receives an invitation to a dinner from his ex-wife and new husband that may be more suspicious than it seems.

3 Beauties

3 Beauties is a Venezuelan horror film about the country’s obsession with beauty pageants. It makes the moms in Toddlers and Tiaras look like puppies at obedience school. Being Venezuelan, I watched this film through a whole other perspective, but no matter where you’re from it’s totally worth a watch. The ending will blow your mind.

The Babadook

What makes this movie really scary is the camera angles. They really suck you into the terror of it all. In this movie a struggling single mother and her child are haunted by an evil force after reading a children’s book.
