As of February 1, 2017, the top 20 are available in the US on the streaming platforms listed in THIS IMAGE.

Info provided by JustWatch.com, except for Blair Witch. It incorrectly didn't have any results for it.

You can go there and see if the movies are available in other countries as well.

Blackcoat's Daughter

Haven't heard of that one before. A little Googling tells me it was on the festival circuit in 2015 but doesn't actually get a wide public release until a little later this year. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I hated Blair Witch and The Shallows but to each their own.

This was definitely an amazing year for Horror though.

It's solid...although after watching Blair Witch recently, I'm a little confused as to what it's doing on the list at all.

Some of the the films on the list are extremely underrated! The Wailing is 10 and conju-fucking-ring is 6?! seriously people?! Eyes of my mother is 19???!!!

Conjuring 2 felt more like an action horror blockbuster if that makes sense. Enjoyed Ouija: Origin of Evil more because of the setting and characters except the ending was lackluster. Really enjoyed The Witch glad it's up there, seems a lot of people were confused or mixed about the film which is fair but had a different fear aspect to it that I enjoyed.
