7 horror short films, up to 90 minutes, to watch in streaming

It is normal for this kind of film to have few characters and locations, so sometimes a horror film needs a lot of time to build suspense in the plot. On the other hand, some stories are even scarier when they’re told as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the best types of horror films are those that hold the audience’s attention from the beginning until the (possibly) bloody conclusion.
