Getting the whole family to agree on a film is rare, these are the ones that genuinely work for everyone in the room. Horror that understands the genre, building dread, not just delivering jump scares. From the 2010s, arguably the most diverse and globally rich decade in film history. The conversation doesn't end when the credits roll, these live in your head long after.

The best horror films for with the family are the ones still running in the background days later. Specifically from the 2010s - every pick here was chosen because it leaves something unresolved - deliberately. Watch one tonight. Give it time to settle.
The horror on this list earns its place. Picked because they hold up for parents and kids at the same time. The 2010s produced more quietly excellent films than the decade gets credit for. These are some of them. More lists by genre, mood, and occasion at Moviepiq.
