The horror genre knows no boundaries or languages. Each and everyone of us have our own mythology and horror stories, many of which centre around its individual belief systems and culture.
If you’re looking for a movie to bring the chills, you have landed on the right page. These are the best of the best we recommend you to watch with your beloved one this weekend.
1. Yavarum Naalum
Manohar (Madhavan) and his family move into a new apartment, 13B, on the 13th floor, realising his life’s greatest desire. However, they face a succession of little but weird happenings (such as spoilt milk), which is seen as unlucky by his family but dismissed by an ecstatic Manohar. Following that, he experiences a slew of exciting occurrences… No more spoilers, just watch the whole thing and be thrilled.
Vikram Kumar wrote and directed the 2009 Indian Tamil / Hindi psychological horror film Yavarum Nalam. The lead actors in the film are Madhavan and Neetu Chandra. Suresh Balaje and George Pius produced the film, which was concurrently shot and released in Hindi before being dubbed in Telugu. The picture, which was released in 2009, garnered overwhelmingly good reviews and quickly became a box office success. The film was named as one of the greatest films of 2009 by Rediff.
2. Aval
The film Aval tells a narrative set against the backdrop of a haunted mansion. A neurosurgeon (Siddharth) and his wife (Andrea Jeremiah), a newlywed couple, relocate to a new neighbourhood. The paranormal events generated by a ghost in the house next door have an impact on the couple’s family. (PS: This movie is super scary)
Aval was directed by Milind Rau in Tamil and The House Next Door in Hindi, a 2017 Indian horror film.

3. Maya
This movie depicts Aari working at a print media company and is assigned to a horror series. While working on it, one event involving an old mental facility deep within the Mayavanam jungle interests Aari and his companion, played by Amzath Khan. Because the episode they’re working on is based on a book that depicts the narrative of a certain Maya Matthews is factual, Aari and his pal delve further into the topic, hoping that the issue they’re dealing with is nothing more than a work of fiction. Nayantara’s life, on the other hand, is recounted. She is an actress and a single mother facing major financial difficulties. The question of how her life is linked to the figure Maya Matthews is at the heart of this enthralling novel. (We can witness a new side of our Lady Superstar)

Eeram starts off when Vasu, a conscientious police officer, is obliged to investigate his former lover’s alleged suicide. He gradually realises that there are incomprehensible forces at work, particularly in the surrounding water.
