The actor then mostly committed himself to play roles that were more physically demanding. While he finally shines as both a commendable actor and a superstar with a greater physique in The Witcher, it is in the horror movies starring him that we see him at his peak performance. Check out these horror movies starring Henry Cavill on Halloween and let us know if the H in Henry stands for horror.

Hellraiser: Hellworld on paper had everything going for it to be lapped up by the audience. However, the Hellraiser-themed Halloween party in a Hellraiser movie was not a very good idea. While the movie does not have many fans, it provided a small sign that the audience will definitely enjoy Cavill in a horror movie if given the right script.

The 2018-movie Night Hunter is not your typical horror movie with supernatural aspects. The David Raymond masterpiece focuses more on how horrifying human greed and desire can be.

Directed by renowned American director Joel T. Schumacher, who is known for his brilliant work in The Incredible Shrinking Woman, The Lost Boys, and St. Elmo’s Fire. Schumacher’s amazing directorial skills are complimented by a captivating screenplay by David Kajganich.
