Having recently talked about the staying power of the Universal Classic Monsters, I got a craving for some good ol’ monsters created by filmmakers who either capture the allegorical nature of horror stories, use them to examine facets of the human condition, or make us shiver in fear. There’s nothing like a monster so terrifying that it gives you nightmares while holding a mirror to the world around you. From the grief metaphor of The Babadook to the inspirational and never-ending fight against propaganda in The Sea Beast, monsters are versatile in storytelling because they exist in a liminal space between familiar emotions and the unfathomable depths that fuel the darkest parts of our imaginations. So check under the bed, flick off the lights, and cross the threshold into a realm man was not meant to tread as we dive into the best monster movies on Netflix.
