Movies like Underwater (2020)

I really liked Sea Fever, that might be something you're into. It's about a fishing boat crew and a science student who discover something really weird in the ocean when they're too far out to sea to get help.

13 BEST HORROR MOVIES OF 2020 – Tim Meyer
January 7, 2021 - Hilarious, well-acted, a script that packs a punch with some witty dialogue – I can’t praise this movie enough. And, proof that your main character doesn’t need to be likable to tell a compelling story. Put this at the top of your to-watch list and thank me later. ... This flick might get left off a lot of “Best of Horror” lists because it’s more science fiction than horror, but fuck – it’s so violent and dark and thematically grim that we can’t exclude it.

r/horror on Reddit: What are the best horror movies of the 2020s?
April 23, 2023 -

Been craving a good horror film the past few days and I'd like to watch one from 2020s as I feel I haven't watched too many of them because i primarily watch horror films pre 2020.

When it comes to what kind of horror film I wanna watch to be honest I have no preference. It would of course be ideal if it actually is scary and not just simply a thriller but if you can't think of anything scary then please mention the thriller film you think of.

Thank you in advance

September 29, 2025 - David Prior's "The Empty Man" is a horror film that endured its own nightmare on its way to audiences. Left on a shelf after test screenings suggested it was a dud, the film finally opened in select theaters in late 2020 during the Covid lockdowns, where it was promptly ignored. It was only when the movie hit streaming a few months later that it found an audience hungry for its paranoid, conspiracy-laden, creepypasta horrors.

December 20, 2020 - Release date: April 27 Cast: Michael Greyeyes, Forrest Goodluck, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers Director: Jeff Barnaby Why it's good: You better have a novel new wrinkle or two if you expect anyone to enjoy your zombie movie these days, and this one presents a fascinating hook: the zombie apocalypse has arrived, and it seems that certain Indigenous Peoples in Canada are entirely immune to the plague. WIth a hook like that, all you need is some smart writing and some worthwhile zombie mayhem to deliver a good horror flick.

October 26, 2020 - The irony of “The Hunt” stems from its deft heroine Crystal (a ferocious Betty Gilpin) who’s caught in the literal crossfire of a demented world in which she never wanted to pick a side. By the end of the movie, we feel her pain, and it’s terrifying to consider how the state of the country inspired a horror-comedy with social commentary both ridiculous and familiar to all.

February 1, 2021 - Brandon Cronenberg has really created a unique, unsettling film and it’s clear that he’s been influenced by his father’s films. That being said, this movie was very much his own, with his own stamp on it. A wonderfully acted, written, and directed movie - one of the few “must watch” movies of 2020.
