Jack Frost
Having its origins in 1998, this movie is still cherished by many. It’s a perfect film that you can enjoy watching with your family.

Directed by Sophia Takal, Black Christmas stars Imogen Poots as Riley Stone. Despite being beautifully crafted and perfectly shot, the audience couldn’t connect to it and found it boring.
Black Christmas is a good slasher movie if you can strike a good with the characters. However, people didn’t find it engaging, and thus, it ended up with an IMDb rating of 3.3/10. If you are into deaths and bloodshed instead of paranormal activities and hallucinations, you will find it decent.
Eyes Wide Shut
Hands down! This is one of the best psychological-thriller movies one can ever watch! Packed with mystery and a tad bit of romance, this can give you cheap scares. The movie stars Tom Cruise as Bill Harford, whose wife has a fantasy of having a sexual interaction with someone.
