1. The Sixth Sense (1999)
M. Night Shyamalan’s ghost story follows Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), a young boy who is being haunted by ghosts. Terrified by his visitors with unresolved problems, his fear stops him from telling anyone about the spirits — except child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe. Played by Bruce Willis, this twisty horror is well worth a watch on Disney Plus. | Getty Images

2. Get Out (2017)
The directorial debut of comedian Jordan Peele, Get Out is considered one of the best horror films of the 21st century. The film follows Daniel Kaluuya’s character Chris, a young black man, as he goes to meet the family of his white girlfriend Rose — played by Allison Williams — for the first time. He soon realises that their over-accommodating behaviour isn’t awkwardness from dealing with an interracial relationship, but instead is something much more disturbing. Released in 2017, this incredibly effective psychological horror is laden with insightful social commentary. | Justin Lubin / Universal City Studios

Mysterious events begin to unfold and as the child grows up, it becomes understood that he is the Antichrist. Starring Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner and Harvey Spencer Stephens, it has spawned a number of sequels and remakes since it was first released. | FilmPublicityArchive/United Archive/Getty Images

4. Alien (1979)
Then there is classic sci-fi horror Alien from 1979. Directed by Ridley Scott, this film also kickstarted a huge franchise of films, TV shows and even video games. Starring Sigourney Weaver as the inimitable Ellen Ripley, Alien follows the crew of spacecraft Nostromo who decide to investigate a derelict vessel after intercepting a distress signal. Things soon spiral out of control when it becomes clear they are being hunted by a deadly alien which has invaded their ship. As well as the original film, most Alien sequels and spin-offs are also available to watch on Disney Plus. | Getty Images
