When we say that Netflix has something for everyone it is true for fans of all genres but especially true for the horror genre fans. With an incredible creator like Mike Flanagan who made brilliant horror shows and movies, Netflix has abundant peak horror content. So, today we thought of listing what we thought were the best horror shows on Netflix.

Hellbound Credit – Netflix

Hellbound is a South Korean supernatural dark fantasy horror thriller series created by Yeon Sang-ho and Choi Gyu-seok. Based on the webtoon of the same name by Sang-ho and Gyu-seok, the Netflix series is set in a world where unearthly creatures appear and condemn people to hell prompting people to create their own religious factions. Hellbound stars Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, Park Jeong-min, Won Jin-ah, Yang Ik-june, and Kim Do-yoon.

The Terror, a 2018 horror show that has 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, has become a streaming hit on Netflix. AMC recently secured a deal with Netflix that has meant some of its biggest series would also be available on Netflix. 15 shows in total, including spinoffs of The Walking Dead and Interview with the Vampire, have been exposed to a bigger U.S. audience as a result while still being identified as AMC Originals. The deal, which is currently on a short-term basis, also includes shows like Preacher, Dark Winds, Mayfair Witches, and others.

According to data provided by Reelgood, which tracks performance on streaming, the horror anthology The Terror is among the AMC shows that have found new life on streaming after being made available on Netflix. For the week of August 22 through August 28, The Terror landed in the tenth spot for the top shows across all streaming platforms. Bad Monkey,...

"The Terror" is a prestigious AMC horror anthology series with exceptional ensemble casts in varying historical settings. Season 1 follows the Arctic expedition of Hms Terror and Erebus, while Season 2 explores Japanese folklore during WWII. Lead actors like Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciarn Hinds have made significant contributions to the series.

AMC's The Terror is a supernatural horror anthology series with outstanding ensemble casts in both of its current seasons. Like HBO and FX, AMC is known for its prestige quality television, bringing ultra-talented casts together for distinct, engaging stories. 2018's The Terror is an outstanding example that somehow managed to fly under the radar. Now that it's gaining traction on Netflix, there's hope that The Terror season 3 will be a hit, particularly after star Dan Stevens signed on to be the new season's lead.

As mentioned, The Terror is an anthology series, meaning each season has a different cast of characters.

Today, AMC Networks announced that Dan Stevens will lead and executive-produce the third installment of the lauded horror anthology The Terror: Devil in Silver. Writing is led by executive producers Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and author Victor Lavalle, who wrote the celebrated novel on which the season is based.

Emmy-nominated director Karyn Kusama also executive produces and will direct the first two episodes.

Dan Stevens will play Pepper, a working-class moving man who, through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.

As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the...

Heroes will be the next TV series from the past to get a return, as a new sequel series is in development. The news comes shortly after the solar eclipse, which played a major role in the original Heroes series.

Per Deadline, the new show will be called Heroes: Eclipsed. It is set years after the events of the original series as "new evos are being awakened and discovering powers that will change their lives." The revival will feature some familiar villains along with new characters for the new group of budding superheroes to face. Tim Kring, the creator of the original series, is writing Heroes: Eclipsed.

Related 10 Heroes and Villains Perfect for Marvel Rivals As Marvel Rivals gears up and reveals its roster, fans are already discussing other iconic characters theyd like to see on the battlefield.

This will be the second spinoff for Heroes, following the 2015 limited series Heroes Reborn.

A new “Heroes” reboot series is in development from creator Tim Kring, Variety has confirmed.

The reboot, titled “Heroes: Eclipsed,” is set years after the events of the original superhero series, as new evolved humans are discovering their powers. Kring is executive producing “Heroes: Eclipsed” with his manager, Mosaic’s Jordan Cerf. Casting has yet to be announced.

“Heroes” ran for four seasons on NBC from 2006 to 2010, and starred Hayden Panettiere, Jack Coleman, Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka, Zachary Quinto, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar and Greg Grunberg. Kring then worked on the 2015 limited series “Heroes Reborn,” with Coleman reprising his role as Noah Bennet. Zachary Levi, Robbie Kay, Kiki Sukezane, Ryan Guzman, Rya Kihlstedt and Judith Shekoni also starred in “Heroes Reborn.”

Back in 2015, while promoting “Reborn,” Kring teased the possibility of developing more storylines in the “Heroes” universe following the 13-episode event series.

“I’ve always felt that...

Milo Ventimiglia is opening up about the Heroes reboot and the possibility of a new revival. The actor also revealed why he won’t be auditioning for the Batman role in The Brave and the Bold film that James Gunn is working on as part of the new DC Universe he is constructing alongside Peter Safran.

In a new interview, the This Is Us alum was pessimistic about the idea of bringing back Heroes, the 2006 Tim Kring-created superhero series that aired on NBC for four seasons.

“I feel like I’ve been trained to say ‘never say never.’ But I think when they tried to bring back Heroes and reboot Heroes, it was a bit of a soft landing,” Ventimiglia said in an interview with ComicBook. “I don’t think that one’s gonna be revisited again.”

Ventimiglia played the role of Peter Petrelli, a hospice nurse who can mimic other people’s abilities.

Milo Ventimiglia, who played Peter Petrelli in the NBC superhero series Heroes, which ran from 2006 to 2010, has little hope for a second series revival.

"I feel like I've been trained to say, ''never say never,'' but I think when they tried to bring back Heroes and reboot Heroes, it was a bit of a soft landing," Ventimiglia told ComicBook while promoting his new film Land of Bad. "I don't think that one's gonna be revisited again. I think it's just one of those things [that] I think they tried, and it didn't quite go," he said about the 13-episode revival, which didn't include much of the original cast.

Is the second season of The Terror TV show on AMC as terrifying as last? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Terror is cancelled or renewed for season three. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we'd like to offer you the chance to rate all of The Terror season two episodes. *Status Update Below.

Despite comparatively low numbers, the freshman installment of the The Terror TV show did pretty well for an AMC series that isn't a part of The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad franchises.

AMC's The Terror is returning after 5 years with a new season titled The Terror: Devil in Silver, adapting the novel by Victor Lavalle. The season follows Pepper, a man wrongfully committed to a psychiatric hospital, facing off against the devil and his inner demons. The six-part season will premiere in 2025, with Karyn Kusama directing the first two episodes.

AMC’s hit horror series The Terror is returning after being away for five years, with the third season titled The Terror: Devil in Silver. The series will adapt the 2012 novel The Devil in Silver by Victor Lavalle, which was named one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly and tells the terrifying tale of a Devil roaming the halls of a psychiatric hospital.

You can check out the synopsis for The Terror: Devil in Silver below courtesy of Deadline.

AMC confirms The Terror season 3 at TCA press event with story details, title, and episode director revealed. The new season, titled The Terror: Devil in Silver, follows a wrongly committed man facing sinister patients, secretive doctors, and the devil. Victor Lavalle, original novel writer, and Christopher Cantwell join as executive producers, with Karyn Kusama directing the first two episodes. Premieres in 2025.

The Terror season 3 is confirmed by AMC, with story details, title, episode director and more also revealed. Dan Simmons’ epic novel of a doomed 1800s arctic expedition served as the basis for AMC’s terrifying 2018 series. When The Terror returned in 2019 as an anthology show, the setting had shifted to WW2-era America for the story of Japanese Americans forced into an internment camp, where supernatural happenings are unleashed.

As confirmed by AMC at the TCA press event, The Terror season 3 is now happening, under the title The Terror: Devil in Silver.

Following a nearly five-year absence, AMC is revisiting anthology The Terror for a third cycle.

The basic-cable network on Tuesday, ahead of its time at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, announced that the horror franchise will return for a third season and will be subtitled Devil in Silver, with the new cycle based on the book of the same name by Victor Lavalle.

The author will team with Chris Cantwell (AMC’s own Halt and Catch Fire) to write the six-episode season, which is expected to air on the cabler in 2025.

AMC says Devil in Silver “tells the story of Pepper — a working-class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital — an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets,...

The Terror Season 2 Episode 10

The Terror: Infamy brings its story to a close in a mostly satisfying way, as Chester, Luz, and their families confront a determined Yuko in the final days of World War II. “Into the Afterlife” is at its very best when focusing on the real-world horrors that make up this season’s historical background. The episode is bookended with powerful reflections on how these characters have been forever changed by their internment. It’s in the cathartic moments at the end of the episode, and in the many ruminations throughout about what it means to be Japanese-American, that this final hour hits home.

But first, the battle with Yuko, which takes up much of the episode’s runtime.

Netflix has revealed the first trailer for Earthquake Bird. This is the latest from acclaimed director Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice), who has, it seems, put together a twisted little thriller for the streaming service. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Susanna Jones. To help bring the story to life, he's enlisted the help of Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander and Riley Keough in what looks like to be cut from the same cloth as a classic David Fincher flick.

The trailer quickly gets to the point that we're dealing with a grizzly whodunnit. The character played by Alicia Vikander is relatively new to Tokyo and makes friends with another American, played by Riley Keough. It then devolves into a love triangle filled with jealousy, twists, turns and a great deal of uncertainty. The footage isn't showing its hand, really just laying some cards out on the table.

We’ve got the first full trailer for you to check out from the Netflix indie thriller Earthquake Bird. The film is directed and adapted by Wash Westmoreland from a novel written by Susanna Jones. The film stars Alicia Vikander, Riley Keough (Logan Lucky), Jack Huston (The Irishman), Kiki Sukezane (Westworld), and Ken Yamamura (Godzilla). Here’s the synopsis:

A psychologically unsettling and atmospheric thriller set in 1989 Tokyo from director Wash Westmoreland, Earthquake Bird follows Lucy Fly (Alicia Vikander), an enigmatic expat haunted by a painful past, who enters into an intense relationship with Teiji (Naoki Kobayashi), a handsome local photographer. Lucy’s imperturbable exterior begins to crack when a naive newcomer, Lily Bridges (Riley Keough), becomes entangled in their lives and ends up missing — suspected dead.

This looks kind of creepy and weird and probably has twists and turns, but I just don’t know if I’m sold on the trailer alone.

"We have something no one else could share... Don't you know that?" Netflix has unveiled the first official trailer for an indie thriller titled Earthquake Bird, which is premiering at the London Film Festival this month. The latest from English filmmaker Wash West, the film is about a young woman living in Tokyo who becomes the prime suspect in a horrific murder when her friend goes missing in the wake of a tumultuous love triangle. Alicia Vikander stars as Lucy Fly, with a cast including Riley Keough, Naoki Kobayashi, Kiki Sukezane, Yoshiko Sakuma, Kazuhiro Muroyama, Ken Yamamura, Crystal Kay, Akiko Iwase, and Jack Huston. This looks like yet another standard peculiar love-triangle murder-mystery psychological thriller, but it doesn't seem the Japanese locale makes much of a difference. I wish this looked better than it does so far, because the idea for it does sound quite appealing. Here's the official trailer...

“The Terror: Infamy” continues on Monday, September 23th at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt with an episode titled “My Perfect World.” The Nakayamas have been torn apart, and Chester searches for the person he believes can help, even if it means taking drastic action. A tuberculosis outbreak in the community forces Amy to act, though she’s caught between doing what she’s told and doing what’s right. “The Terror: Infamy” centers on a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese American community, and a young man’s journey to understand and combat the malevolent entity responsible. In addition, the series is one of the first depicting the internment of Japanese Americans on such a massive scale – complete with authentically recreated camps in scope and scale as post-wwii. The series stars Derek Mio, Kiki Sukezane (Lost in Space), Cristina Rodlo (Miss Bala), Shingo Usami (Unbroken), Naoko Mori (Everest...

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “The Terror: Infamy” Episode 6, “Taizo.”]

Monday’s episode of “The Terror: Infamy” finally tells the backstory of the ghost known as Yuko (Kiki Sukezane), who has been haunting Chester (Derek Mio), his friends, and his family during WWII. It turns out that in 1919, Yuko traveled to Terminal Island for an arranged marriage to Hideo Furuya (Eiji Inoue), but when she reveals she’s already pregnant by another man, he casts her out. Unable to care for her baby boy properly, she gives Taizo — now the grown-up Chester — away and kills herself by leaping off a bridge. The tragic circumstances surrounding her death creates an onnen, or a wild hunger, in her as she becomes the unsatisfied spirit known as the yurei.

While Yuko’s origin story explains why she’s been sticking around after her death, hints of her state of mind have been present from the start… in her clothing. Costume designer J.R. Hawbaker...

Finally, we get the answers we've been searching for all season and they don't disappoint. In fact, "Taizo" solves so many of the season's mysteries that I'm left wondering what's next? 

The not-so-unpredictable payoff of the episode is that Chester is Yuko's son, whom she had to give up to an orphanage after Furuya-san, ever the douche, left her out on the streets. Chester has gone through a lot in the past few weeks, and he's understandably upset when his adoptive parents reveal the truth. Still, I felt it was pretty unfair of Chester to hurt Henry the way he did, but the...

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “The Terror: Infamy” Episode 4, “The Weak Are Meat.”]

On Monday’s episode of “The Terror: Infamy,” the restless ghost known as Yuko (Kiki Sukezane) finally uncovers her true face in one of the most gruesome moments in the series to date.

The unconventional ghost story, set against the backdrop of the Japanese American WWII internment has been unspooling slowly. So far, “The Terror: Infamy” has only revealed that the yurei — a spirit kept from the afterlife — has been haunting a particular internment camp, seemingly targeting Chester Nakamura (Derek Mio) and those close to him. But now there are more clues pointing to what is driving Yuko.

Previously, Chester had left the camp to work as a Japanese translator for the military, hoping that the spirit would follow him to wherever he was stationed. Yuko, however, stayed behind. Masquerading as a midwife, she has been providing prenatal care and checkups to Chester’s pregnant girlfriend Luz (Cristina Rodlo), even...

The Terror Season 2 Episode 4

The Terror: Infamy finally starts to come together as a horror show in "The Weak Are Meat," a grotesque episode that sees several characters fall victim to the yurei haunting Chester Nakayama and the rest of the Terminal Islanders. While the horror continues to lean a bit too much on the gore factor, the episode also ups the supernatural element that has been missing from the series since its second season began. 

The first three episodes focused heavily (and rightfully so) on the internment camps themselves, showing the length to which people will go when they're overtaken by fear. The Terror needed space to develop that story with respect, and adding too much shlocky horror to the proceedings...

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “The Terror: Infamy” Episode 3, “Gaman.”]

The third episode of “The Terror: Infamy” opens with Chester Nakayama (Derek Mio) and the rest of the internment camp watching a John Wayne movie that a benshi provides with a live soundtrack, performing the dialogue timed perfectly to the film. AMC’s viewers are treated to English subtitles, bringing the translations full circle. It’s a fun and fascinating scene that actor-consultant George Takei confirms he experienced when he was in the camps as a child, but also one that highlights the importance of the dual cultural and linguistic influences of immigrants in America.

It’s to be expected that “The Terror: Infamy,” which depicts the experiences of Japanese Americans during World War II, uses the Japanese language on the show. Showrunner Alexander Woo acknowledges that he did not hold back on how extensively it’s used – upcoming episodes include long, Japanese-language-only scenes – but also took care how the...

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers from “The Terror: Infamy” Episode 2, “All the Demons Are Still in Hell.”]

Jordan Peele’s groundbreaking 2017 film “Get Out” uses horror tropes to highlight the real-life gruesomeness of racism in America. And although “The Terror: Infamy” wasn’t directly inspired by that film, showrunner Alexander Woo acknowledges that viewers might deem the projects similar.

“I think it’s not an unfair comparison. ‘Get Out’ is a terrific movie… I think it does make you feel — if you are not — like someone who is a black person surrounded by a bunch of white people,” said Woo. “For only two hours, you get a sense of the isolation and the alienation you might feel.”

AMC’s “The Terror: Infamy” is a period drama that tells the WWII story of Japanese American internment through the lens of Japanese horror, specifically, the Japanese ghost stories known as kaidan.

Two episodes in, The Terror: Infamy is a completely different beast than its predecessor, tackling a horrific moment in American history that makes last year's cannibalism-themed massacre on ice feel almost tame in comparison. While the men of Captain Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition to the Arctic found solace in simple pleasures (mostly from a bottle), the Japanese residents of San Pedro enjoy no such comforts in "All the Demons Are Still in Hell." Over the course of the hour, we watch the Nakayamas, their friends, and acquaintances get displaced from their homes, forced to live in shit-covered horse stalls by order of the U.S. government, and then moved to a concentration camp. Japanese men are tortured and killed,...

The second season of AMC’s horror anthology “The Terror” centers a story rarely told in the American mainstream — the mass incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War II. But for many of those involved with the show, the story is a personal one.

“I’ve done a few other projects that have taken place in the internment camps,” said “Greek” alum Derek Mio, who stars in “The Terror: Infamy” as Chester Nakayama, a young man whose family is uprooted and imprisoned along with 120,000 other people of Japanese ancestry. “But it was just kind of chilling to see the parallels between the character and my grandfather.”

The series uses Southern California’s Terminal Island — Mio’s grandfather’s actual hometown — and the once-thriving Japanese immigrant community there as its entry point. A particularly emotional scene in the first episode sees Chester’s father being forcibly taken by the FBI for questioning,...

The Terror: Infamy's look at Japanese-American incarceration during WWII has many disturbingly timely parallels.

The Terror Season 2, also known as The Terror: Infamy, begins tonight on AMC. It is the second installment in a historical horror anthology series. The first season, which premiered last year, followed (with a supernatural twist) the real-life story of British naval ships H.M.S. Terror and H.M.S. Erebus as they looked to find the Northwest Passage in the mid-19th century, only to perish in the effort.

The Terror: Infamy takes on a subject much closer—geographically, temporally, thematically—to home. Set in 1941 and in the years following, it centers the members of a close-knit Japanese-American community living on California's Terminal Island fishing community, and what happens to them post-Pearl Harbor after the issuing of Executive Order 9066, which incarcerated an estimated 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese-Canadians in camps in California, Idaho,...

The Terror season 2 premiere delivers dread, gore, and historical drama in a slightly more unruly package than its predecessor.

The Terror Season 2 Episode 1

In this new age of anthology genre series, AMC's The Terror continues to carve out its own niche with its signature brand of historical horror, creating an atmosphere of dread so thick you could cut it with a knife. Season 2, subtitled Infamy -- a direct reference to the attack on Pearl Harbor, which will come into play by the premiere's end -- tackles one of the darkest moments in American history: the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Unsurprisingly, The Terror's second season feels more relevant than its first, a story about immigrants that reflects our own horrible (and insane) reality in which history is repeating itself.

"A Sparrow in a Swallow's Nest...

“The Terror: Infamy” didn’t need ghosts to be frightening. Alexander Woo and Max Borenstein’s new iteration of the “Terror” series, both thanks to its subject matter and supernatural apparitions lurking at the edges, is permeated by an ever-creeping sense of dread that proves undeniable. Tracing the needless devastation of Japanese-American internment during World War II, the second installment of AMC’s anthology series is straightforward about the human cost of racist paranoia. Even when “Infamy” is blunt, it’s understandable; it’s not exactly like the horrific reality that inspired it was subtle, either.

By largely following a single family, “Infamy” also finds a way to make a staggering historical event that can sometimes feel too big to comprehend feel as personal as it truly was. After immigrating to San Francisco from Japan, Henry (Shingo Usami) and Asako (Naoko Mori) have built a life for themselves and their...

This Sunday season 2 of The Terror premieres on AMC. The upcoming season will take place on the Westcoast during World War 2 centers on something uncanny that menaces a Japanese American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific. The show will star George Takei, Kiki Sukezane, Naoko Mori, Miki Ishikawa, and C. Thomas Howell. The second season was co-created by Max Borenstein and Alexander Whoo, who also serves as the showrunner. Ridley Scott is one of the executive producers. The show will have a ten-episode run. George Takei’s real-life childhood was one of the inspirations for the second season. Takei will be playing Nobuhiro Yamato in the upcoming season. “It’s an important story that has chilling resonance, but so many Americans are aghast when they hear about my childhood imprisonment,” he told reporters of shining a light on the atrocity,...

These offer us an even better look at the story and the sensitive subject matter that it deals with. The series is set in a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II and that camp is plagued by a dark entity. Season 2 centers around “a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese-American community and a young man’s journey to understand and combat the malevolent entity responsible.”
