About this picker

One press, one pick worth watching

A random horror movie is the pick that goes wrong most often, because the volume of forgettable titles in the genre is enormous. This picker draws only from horror films someone chose on purpose: the classics that still work, the modern ones that earned their reputation, and a few oddities. Set the Scary mood to keep it frightening, or add Funny for horror comedies.

Every pick links to a page with where it streams, ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, the trailer, and the cast. The full random movie picker lets you mix any genre, mood, and decade, the What to watch quiz turns six questions into a ranked lineup, and the binge calculator tells you how long a series will take. Limelight itself is a free download for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
