Horror purveyor Blumhouse has been putting out movies for almost 20 years now. It has become the name synonymous with big audience scares. Where A24 has risen up and cultivated an image of a sort of secret movie club where the cinéastes who know go to get their fright on around tasteful cheeses and classy cocktails, Blumhouse is the rager down the block where you just walk in and keep the party going till morning, never mind the people puking on the lawn.
Since exploding onto the scene in 2007 with the insanely cheap and then insanely profitable Paranormal Activity, Blumhouse has put out a ton of missable fare alongside an impressive list of era-defining scary movies. But what are the House's truly best films? Between deals with Epix and Hulu and Amazon, where it puts out DTV releases and feature-length TV episodes, along the rest of its streaming drops, there is an overwhelming amount of material to consider when carving down the Blumhouse output to a top 50.
