The Best IFC Midnight Movies on Netflix

So I would say that about 70% of the time, IFC midnight movies will be well worth watching. I have added more than a few to my Netflix list. It's almost a specialized area of IFC movies. What's nearly guaranteed is that the movie quality will be good, the acting will be decent, and that it will be an original story. In case you didn't know, IFC Films is an American film and production company that distributes independent films and documentaries under the brands of Sundance Selects and IFC Midnight. IFC Midnight movies are focused around the genres of horror, thrillers, and sci-fi. Although, my favorite IFC Midnight movies are always the horrors. I would also say some of the best zombie movies on Netflix are IFC Midnight movies. So without further adieu, I give you the best IFC Midnight films streaming on Netflix.

Babadook

A lot of people already know how good Babadook is but horror films don't get much better than this. I actually already wrote a post about it here, but it still deserves to be on this list. Babadook gets under your skin like nothing before. You will never understand the Babadook and that's the scariest part. Indiscriminate evil is the worse type of evil. This might actually be one of the best IFC movies.

A Lonely Place To Die

A Lonely Place to Die is the story of a group of friends hiking in the Scottish highlands who discover a child buried in the ground. A Lonely Place to Die is a great IFC Midnight movie on Netflix. It's a high-altitude thrill ride with plenty of breathtaking moments. One thing I will say is that I had no idea how beautiful the Scottish highlands were. Not only do you get a fun movie to watch, you get to see a part of the world you don't see every day. The best IFC midnight movies are the ones that keep you on the edge of your seat and A Lonely Place to Die does just that.

I Am Not A Serial Killer

I don't know why, but I Am Not A Serial Killer doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves. I would say that it is one of my favorite IFC Midnight movies right now. There are actually plenty of IFC films on Netflix but none of them come with the originality that I Am Not A Serial Killer does. Even the best of IFC midnight movies can barely compete with this one. I Am Not A Serial Killer is the story of a boy struggling with his identity while mysterious murders take place in his small town. It's not a secret that I'm a fan of bloody movies and if you are, I Am Not A Serial Killer doesn't disappoint. But more than that, this movie has an interesting, original, plot, and I was really starting to get confused on what was going on. If you're looking for a good movie to add to your IFC movies list, I Am Not A Serial Killer is a great choice.

The Hallow

So The Hallow is a good IFC midnight movie, but it is always a very weird one! The Hallow is the story of a family that moves into a rural town in Ireland. Once settled in, they start to realize the forest nearby is hiding a demonic presence. I suppose if I had to pick a genre, I would say it was in the category of IFC horror movies but I feel like there should be a new category of "strange" or "very weird" IFC horror movies. You will see what I mean once you watch it. There is a lot of very strange things going on and just when you think the movie is starting to slow down, something comes out of left field and throws you for a spin. IFC midnight movies on Netflix do not get much weirder than The Hallow.

Stakeland

Stakeland is great for those of us that are all about the Vampire apocalypse. Wait what? The Vampire apocalypse? That's right. But hey, how about this time we add in the classic zombie apocalypse too? That's what you'll get with Stakeland. And with both of those genre's you know there's going to be plenty of action, blood, and gore. You might even say Stakeland fits in as one of the best hack and slash movies on Netflix.

Backcountry

Good IFC horror movies are tough to find and Backcountry is something we can all relate to. I think as kids we all grew up with a little bit of fear of getting lost in the woods. I love the outdoors just as much as anyone, but there is always that fear in the back of your mind of dealing with hungry wildlife. Backcountry will send chills up your spine because you can relate to it actually happening. Realistic horror is a genre inside a genre. The psychological build up is right on point and once the story really picks up, it ends up being pretty gruesome.

Wyrmwood (Removed from Netflix Streaming)

What Wyrmwood brings is originality to the Zombie genre. I know, I didn't think it was possible either. I don't want to give anything away but if you like the hack and slash of zombie movies with an extra weird twist, this one might be the one for you. It's clearly not a huge budget film, but it brings a lot more entertainment that most of the big budget ones. Funny characters and lots of blood. That's always a good time. Wyrmwood was one of the best zombie movies on Netflix, but of course, they moved it to DVD only.

Baskin

Netflix seems to be dropping a lot of it's IFC horror movies, but thankfully we still have Baskin! I've already spoken at length about Baskin but it absolutely could not be left out of the best IFC Midnight Movies on Netflix section. Its grotesqueness will keep you glued to the screen and your mind will struggle to grasp what's going on. Mind-bending horror is another genre that usually always at least attempts to be original. I have never seen a movie like Baskin before, and I guarantee you never have either. IFC midnight movies don't get much better than this. Check it out.

Snowtown Murders (Removed from Netflix streaming)

Based on the horrific crimes discovered in Australia in 1999, Snowtown Murders is a great, and terrifying film. This award-winning movie is twisted, unforgettable, and a very powerful. The acting is intense and the grimy, ugliness of these characters will stick with you long after you see this movie. It remains unknown whether or not they got all of the actual facts right, but true stories of murder always have a shot to shake you to the core.

So there you have it. The best of IFC Midnight movies that are currently streaming on Netflix. IFC midnight films are usually always good and no Netflix movie list is complete without movies like these. I try my best to update all posts if they ever take one of these gems down, but for now, enjoy them while they last, and thanks for the read.
