NETFLIX: "The Babadook" (2014)
"The Babadook" (2014, rated R, 93 minutes): You might call this one a psychoanalytic horror film, as the story starts out familiar (a widow's young son discovers a children's book with a curious character who mysteriously appears on his bookshelf) and dives further into its twisted, haunting symbolism.
HBO: "The Conjuring" (2013)
"The Conjuring" (2013, rated R, 112 minutes): There's a reason why James Wan's 2013 horror film managed to created a franchise that includes a sequel, "The Conjuring 2" (also available on HBO) and two spin-offs: it's truly terrifying.

"The Rite" (2011, rated PG-13, 113 minutes): Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins is intense, as usual, playing a veteran priest teaching a young seminary student how to perform exorcisms. Here, Hopkins is no Hannibal Lecter, but he'll still get under your skin.

"V/H/S" (2012, rated R, 112 minutes): A group attempts to find a rare VHS tape when they discover a corpse surrounded by haunted videos.
