The Best of... Aussie Horror!

Australia is a beautiful country. Gorgeous landscapes; beautiful oceans; diverse wildlife; hot chicks with sexy accents... there's probably nowhere in the world that we'd want to travel and do the tourist thing more than OZ.

If you believe the movies though, Australia is also a deadly country, as Serial Killers and deadly animals are constantly roaming the countryside looking for victims/prey. There may also be evil spirits, zombies, and aliens down under, so maybe we're not so keen on visiting there after all.

The movies below all do a great job of capturing both the beautiful and terrifying sides of the land down under.

• Some of the films on this list are co-productions with other countries.
  
• Some of the films on this list far more towards the Thriller side of things than they do Horror.
  
• We include Saw here because it was originally an Aussie flick, and it deserves a mention.

If you're looking for a proper introduction to the world of Australian Horror, then any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. We'd urge you to start with Wolf Creek, as it's probably the "best" of them, but they're all excellent watches.

Most of the rest of the movies below represent Australian Horror very well, each in their own way, so why not just enjoy them all!

Also, be sure to check out our Women of Australian Horror post HERE.

Below are the rest of the best movies that Aussie Horror has to offer. Keep in mind that no "Best of" list is ever perfect, but merely a solid starting point for anyone looking to watch some great flicks, and in this case, great flicks of a particular type.  

*Most of the links go to Amazon so that you can stream or grab yourself a copy of the movies; our review of the movie (when applicable); or in the case of some of the older & more obscure titles, IMDB, because they simply aren't available to stream or purchase. 
 

The Best of... Master List!

Since July, we've been putting together Best of... lists for different Horror Sub-Genres, in an effort to celebrate some of the best Horror Movies that have ever been made. There are so many movies that have been made over the decades, that it's almost impossible trying to keep track of them all... and that's why lists are a cool thing to have. 

How many times have you been in the mood to watch something, but for the life of you, you can't figure out what in the hell you want to watch? I know that we spend more time searching through Netflix for something to watch, than we do actually watching things. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Each of our Best of... lists contains 36 movies for specific sub-genres (except for Space Horror, which only has 27), which gives everyone over 600 of the best Horror Movies ever made to choose from when deciding what to watch this Halloween Season.

There will be more lists to come, but hey, this is a good start, right?

• Making any sort of "Best of" list is bound to be at least partially subjective. Every list like this has some movies that are left off that people thing should have made it, and vice versa. We tried to be as objective as possible with our choices. 
• Every list below has a Top Six section that is comprised of the movies in that sub-genre that we loved the most. Everything else is listed A-Z, and not ranked at all. 
• Every list below also has an Honorable Mention section, to give some extra love to movies that deserve it. 
• Doing these lists also directly ties in with the theme for our 8th Annual 31 Days of Horror celebration, which begins on October 1st. 

So get to clicking, share the lists with other Horror lovers, and let's get ready to have a fun-filled & creepy October!
