Best Movies Streaming In Netflix’s Secret Witchcraft Section

Lost in the woods with your buddies might sound like a fun camping trip, but Netflix’s The Ritual takes that idea and twists it into your darkest nightmare. After a tragic event shakes their bond, four friends decide to hike through the Scandinavian wilderness, only to find an ancient evil lurking among the trees.

This horror-thriller isn’t just about the external fears of being stalked by something sinister, but also the internal demons that plague the group. With its atmospheric tension, eerie visuals, and a plot that spirals into pagan madness, Netflix’s The Ritual serves as a chilling reminder that sometimes the past haunts you, and other times it’s… something far worse in the woods.

So next time you plan a trek with your pals, maybe stick to the beaten path. Just saying.

Who knew a home video could give you more chills than a December night? Dive into the world of Paranormal Activity on Netflix, and you might find yourself rethinking those late-night creaks in your home. A couple, Katie and Micah, start to document what they believe is a ghostly presence in their new suburban house.

Directed by Oren Peli, this low-budget sensation turned box-office hit uses cleverly crafted “found footage” to build an atmospheric terror that’ll have you white-knuckling your popcorn.

Directed by Mike Flanagan, this prequel to “Ouija” isn’t just another jump-scare fest. It’s a well-crafted descent into a chilling tale of family, spirits, and the unintended consequences of playing with the unknown. Netflix tip: Maybe stick to Monopoly for your next family game night. Less possession, more hotels.

A Netflix PSA: Before you dive in, ensure your phone is on silent. And maybe keep it that way… indefinitely.

Venturing into ancient lands for a story? Exciting. Being captured and accused of being possessed by a demon? Not on the itinerary. The Old Ways on Netflix takes the concept of cultural exploration and twists it into a gripping tale of ancient rituals and inner demons.

When a journalist, Cristina, heads to her ancestral home in Veracruz for a story on local traditions, she becomes the central figure in a chilling exorcism.
