Winter weather is a great reason not to leave the couch—so why not crank up the heat, pile on some blankets, and seek chills in your entertainment instead? Hulu’s got a great selection of recent horror films streaming right now, so here are 10 to get you started.
Lil Rel Howery, whose many credits include Poker Face and a standout supporting role in Get Out, stars as a father-to-be who wakes up in a strange place and discovers he’s now an unwilling “employee” in a futuristic prison governed by a malevolent AI. Stream on Hulu.
Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr play the enigmatic parents of a shy eight-year-old who starts to suspect there’s something very sinister lurking in the walls of his home. Cleopatra Coleman (Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire) co-stars as the kid’s sympathetic teacher. Stream on Hulu.
A fantastic Kaitlyn Dever—who was just cast as Abby in The Last of Us season two—centers this nearly dialogue-free film about a young woman whose troubled life takes a turn when aliens invade. Stream on Hulu.
Writer-director Bishal Dutta’s feature debut taps into folk horror in its tale of an Indian-American high-schooler who’d just as soon embrace only the “American” side of her life—but finds turning her back on traditions impossible when a supernatural force makes itself known. Stream on Hulu.
Although technically it’s a 2022 movie, the chatter about Skinamarink—writer-director Kyle Edward Ball’s lo-fi, decidedly experimental feature debut—continued throughout last year. See this creepy phenomenon for yourself and decide if you’re on team “it’s a revelation!” or team “I don’t get it.” Stream on Hulu.
Based on a Stephen King short story, and directed by Rob Savage (Host, Dashcam), The Boogeyman explores one of childhood’s most potent fears, as its title suggests. Stream on Hulu.
A woman (Jena Malone—more movies starring Jena Malone, please!) heads to a convent on the Scottish coast to investigate the mysterious death of her brother, a priest. Talk of demons begins almost immediately, and it turns out things get even more distressing from there. Stream on Hulu.
A killer sloth terrorizes a sorority house... what more do you need to know? Stream on Hulu.
io9's review called the latest from Brandon Cronenberg an “astonishing, outrageously icky triumph,” and even if you know plot twists are coming, you’ll still have a hard time keeping your jaw off the floor every time you experience them. Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård are both excellent. Stream on Hulu.
The spookiest of director and star Kenneth Branagh’s Agatha Christie adaptations sees famed detective Hercule Poirot invited to a Halloween séance held at a palazzo that was once an orphanage—and, of course, murder soon follows. Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, and Kelly Reilly are also among the cast. Stream on Hulu.
