Get Out weaponised social horror — the terror of polite racism, of being trapped somewhere wrong, of smiling faces hiding something sinister. If you've just watched it and want more films that make discomfort into dread, here are 10 that deliver.
All streaming in the UK.
The List
1. Us (2019)
UK streaming: Netflix
A family is stalked by their exact doubles. Jordan Peele's follow-up is wilder and more ambitious.
Why it fits: Same director, same social commentary, same escalation from unease to horror.
The vibe: "We are Americans."
2. The Invitation (2015)
UK streaming: Prime Video
A man attends a dinner party at his ex-wife's new home. Something feels wrong from the first frame.
Why it fits: That same "something is off" paranoia. Social politeness as trap. The dread builds perfectly.
The vibe: The moment you realise you were right to be worried.
3. Midsommar (2019)
UK streaming: Prime Video
A couple joins friends on a trip to a Swedish midsummer festival. Ari Aster's follow-up to Hereditary is daylight horror.
Why it fits: Outsiders welcomed into something sinister. Smiling faces, terrible intentions. Folk horror meets relationship horror.
The vibe: The cliffs. The table. Everything in the last thirty minutes.
4. Ready or Not (2019)
UK streaming: Disney+
A bride must survive a deadly game of hide-and-seek with her new in-laws. Comedy-horror that escalates gloriously.
Why it fits: The rich family is wrong. The newcomer is trapped. Class horror with a sharper edge.
The vibe: Samara Weaving covered in blood, screaming.
5. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
UK streaming: Prime Video
A pregnant woman suspects her neighbours are too interested in her baby. Polanski's paranoid horror still works.
Why it fits: The original "helpful people are actually terrifying" film. Gaslighting before we had the word.
The vibe: The dream sequence. The ending.
6. Parasite (2019)
UK streaming: Prime Video
A poor family infiltrates a wealthy household. Bong Joon-ho's masterpiece shifts genres multiple times.
Why it fits: Class tension as horror. The twist that recontextualises everything. Not horror genre, but horrifying.
The vibe: The basement. The rain. The party.
7. The Stepford Wives (1975)
UK streaming: Prime Video
A woman moves to a Connecticut suburb where all the wives are suspiciously perfect. Social horror before it had a name.
Why it fits: Something is wrong with these people. Conformity as nightmare. The original.
The vibe: That ending. Watch the original, not the remake.
8. The Wicker Man (1973)
UK streaming: BFI Player, Prime Video
A policeman investigates a missing girl on a Scottish island with strange customs. The original folk horror masterpiece.
Why it fits: An outsider trapped among smiling, helpful people. The ending is devastating.
The vibe: "Oh, God! Oh, Jesus Christ!"
9. It Follows (2014)
UK streaming: Prime Video
A supernatural entity follows a young woman everywhere, slowly, constantly. David Robert Mitchell made the best horror of the 2010s.
Why it fits: Paranoia made visible. Something is always coming. The dread is constant.
The vibe: Every background figure might be It.
10. Don't Breathe (2016)
UK streaming: Netflix
Three burglars break into a blind man's house. The blind man is not helpless. Fede Álvarez's claustrophobic nightmare.
Why it fits: Trapped in a house with something dangerous. The tables turn horribly.
The vibe: The basement. The turkey baster. You'll know.
