While Malayalam has not produced many horror films, the few that it has produced have been notable for their creepy elements and gripping storylines. Some of them had a few intriguing elements that kept the viewers on the edge of their seats for a while, even though the majority of them had overdone scary moments.

Here is a list of Malayalam horror films that you can stream on Sun NXT if you are a lover of the genre. You can watch these films on OTTplay Premium as well.

Pretham

Exceeding the expectations of viewers, the film's commercial success was attributed to its suspenseful plot and ample jump scare moments. The audience praised Jayasurya's portrayal of mentalist John Don Bosco. Pretham's unexpected ending and topical humour make it worth seeing again.

Pretham 2

Pretham 2 has a watchable element, even though it lacked a compelling plot and believable performances. The sequel searches for the perpetrators of an online crime that a young child becomes a victim of, while the first part centres on a ghost seeking retribution for wrongdoing against her.

Kana Kanmani

The successful architect Roy and his wife Maya, who have a daughter named Anu, are the main characters of the movie. Anu becomes possessed by the spirit of their aborted child, Shivani after visiting their ancestral home. This movie distinguished itself by delving into the horror genre in a way that had never been done before and by including just the right amount of jump scares.

Chemistry

The movie is based on a real-life account of a high school student who committed suicide. Gowri in the film is killed at her school. A few years later, Gowri's spirit, who is out for vengeance, is encountered by Parvathy, a new student at the same school. Chemistry is a watchable film with not too many scary scenes, having a predictable plot and ending.

Ms. Lekha Tharoor Kanunnathu

Unexpectedly, TV host Lekha Tharoor starts having violent, unsettling visions. Following her explanation of her mental state to friends and coworkers, she is sent to a psychiatric hospital to receive treatment on the suspicion that she is psychotic. Despite not being a commercial success, the movie fits the description of a psychological thriller horror.
