For some movies, the hype building up to their release isn’t based on its stars or director or plot, but by the boutique company putting it out to the public. Think A24. Think Laika. Think Blumhouse, the production org that’s become synonymous in horror with low budgets, big returns, and bigger thrills.

Over the past two decades, magnate of monstrosity Jason Blum — who has also produced plenty of “normal” movies — has banked his legacy on reinventing how horror scripts are discovered and made, keeping the genre from going stale, like it infamously did in the ’90s. After all, blood dries quickly; gotta keep it fresh. Look to franchises like The Purge, Paranormal Activity and Insidious: when you watch one Blumhouse horror movie, you’re probably gonna seek out what else they’re up to.

Blumhouse had a very busy 2022 with The Black Phone, They/Them, Halloween Ends and Nanny among their major releases. And they kicked off 2023 with a dolled-up bang with M3GAN, their best-reviewed horror movie since Get Out. Blumhouse will be back in theaters October 27 with Five Nights At Freddy's. In preparation, we’re ranking all Blumhouse horror movies by Tomatometer. The top 10 are below. For a complete list of titles, check out the Rotten Tomatoes list or the Vudu Blumhouse movie collection.

**10. The Black Phone (2021)**

Tomatometer: 82%

Synopsis: Finney, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer's previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn't happen to Finney.

Critics Consensus: The Black Phone might have been even more frightening, but it remains an entertaining, well-acted adaptation of scarily good source material.

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies

Directed By: Scott Derrickson

**9. Soft & Quiet (2022)**

Tomatometer: 85%

Synopsis: Playing out in real time, Soft & Quiet is a runaway train that follows a single afternoon in the life of an elementary school teacher, Emily, who organizes an inaugural club meeting of like-minded women. When they all decide to move the meeting to Emily's house to keep the wine flowing, they stop at the local store to pick up refreshments. At the store, an altercation breaks out between a woman from Emily's past and the group, leading to a volatile chain of events.

Critics Consensus: A painfully timely horror-fueled thriller, Soft & Quiet forces the viewer to confront the ugly underbelly of modern American race relations.

Starring: Stefanie Estes, Olivia Luccardi, Eleanore Pienta, Dana Millican

Directed By: Beth de Araújo

**8. Nanny (2022)**

Tomatometer: 90%

Synopsis: In this psychological horror fable of displacement, Aisha (Anna Diop), a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal, is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple (Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector) living in New York City. Haunted by the absence of the young son she left behind, Aisha hopes her new job will afford her the chance to bring him to the U.S., but becomes increasingly unsettled by the family's volatile home life. As his arrival approaches, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening the American dream she is painstakingly piecing together.

Critics Consensus: Led by Anna Diop's strong central performance, the smartly disquieting Nanny is a promising debut for writer-director Nikyatu Jusu.

Starring: Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls, Morgan Spector

Directed By: Nikyatu Jusu

**7. The Vigil (2019)**

Tomatometer: 90%

Synopsis: Steeped in ancient Jewish lore and demonology, THE VIGIL is a supernatural horror film set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn's Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood. Low on funds and having recently left his insular religious community, Yakov reluctantly accepts an offer from his former rabbi and confidante to take on the responsibility of an overnight "shomer," fulfilling the Jewish practice of watching over the body of a deceased community member. Shortly after arriving at the recently departed's dilapidated house to sit the vigil, Yakov begins to realize that something is very, very wrong.

Critics Consensus: Consistently clever and creepy, The Vigil mines richly atmospheric supernatural horror from a deep well of religious traditions.

Starring: Dave Davis, Fred Melamed, Menashe Lustig, Malky Goldman

Directed By: Keith Thomas

**6. The Invisible Man (2020)**

Tomatometer: 92%

Synopsis: After staging his own suicide, a crazed scientist uses his power to become invisible to stalk and terrorize his ex-girlfriend. When the police refuse to believe her story, she decides to take matters into her own hands and fight back.

Critics Consensus: Smart, well-acted, and above all scary, The Invisible Man proves that sometimes, the classic source material for a fresh reboot can be hiding in plain sight.

Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid

Directed By: Leigh Whannell

**5. Sweetheart (2019)**

Tomatometer: 93%

Synopsis: A shipwreck survivor on an uninhabited island must fend off a malevolent force that surfaces each night.

Starring: Emory Cohen, Kiersey Clemons, Hanna Mangan Lawrence

Directed By: J.D. Dillard

**4. Hush (2016)**

Tomatometer: 93%

Synopsis: A deaf woman is stalked by a killer in her home.

Critics Consensus: Hush navigates the bloody waters of home invasion thrillers and incisive slashers for a contemporary horror puree.

Starring: John Gallagher Jr., Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan

Directed By: Mike Flanagan

**3. Cam (2018)**

Madeline Brewer in Cam

Tomatometer: 93%

Synopsis: A camgirl has her principles, until a mysterious woman who looks just like her takes over her channel.

Critics Consensus: Smart and suspenseful, CAM is a techno-thriller that's far more than the sum of its salacious parts -- and an outstanding showcase for Madeline Brewer in the leading role.

Starring: Madeline Brewer, Patch Darragh, Melora Walters, Devin Druid

Directed By: Daniel Goldhaber

**2. M3GAN (2023)**

Tomatometer: 93%

Synopsis: M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child's greatest companion and a parent's greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out's Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma's unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems--a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

Critics Consensus: Unapologetically silly and all the more entertaining for it, M3GAN is the rare horror-comedy that delivers chuckles as effortlessly as chills.

Starring: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Brian Jordan Alvarez

Directed By: Gerard Johnstone

**1. Get Out (2017)**

Tomatometer: 98%

Synopsis: Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries leads him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

Critics Consensus: Funny, scary, and thought-provoking, Get Out seamlessly weaves its trenchant social critiques into a brilliantly effective and entertaining horror/comedy thrill ride.

Starring: Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford

Directed By: Jordan Peele
