The best horror movies on Hulu right now October 2022

By Michael Bizzaco and Blair Marnell October 3, 2022 Share In the mood for something scary? Instead of scrambling through your old DVD collection or blowing the dust off your VHS copies of Friday the 13th and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, why not plop down on the couch with your favorite pumpkin beer to enjoy all the genre flicks that Hulu has to offer? Home to plenty of genre films that’ll make you scream, we’ve already done the hard work of rounding up all the best horror movies on Hulu you can stream right now. Hulu isn’t the only streaming platform with horror titles on demand. We’ve also put together guides to the best horror movies on Netflix and the best horror movies on Amazon Prime Video. Recently added to Hulu Spree r 2020 The Blair Witch Project r 1999 Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale r 2010 XX r 2017 Spree (2020) new Trailer 42 % 5.9/10 r 93m Genre Thriller, Horror, Comedy Stars Joe Keery, Sasheer Zamata, David Arquette Directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko watch on Hulu watch on Hulu If you’re tired of seeing the glorification of social media in traditional Hollywood films, Spree is a sardonic and gory commentary on the “influencer” world we’re all living in. The film stars Joe Keery as rideshare driver Kurt Kunkle, a man hellbent on going viral across the like-share-subscribe digital landscape. His master plan: outfit his vehicle with cameras and film the planned murders of his passengers. It’s a bonkers premise that requires some suspension of disbelief, but in its caricaturing of celebrity desperation, Spree is a magnificent tongue-in-cheek stab at the loud and unrelenting cacophony that is Instagram, TikTok, and all the other apps we know, love, and need.

Williams, Joshua Leonard Directed by Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez watch on Hulu watch on Hulu A found-footage sensation that blew the doors off the horror genre all the way back in 1999, The Blair Witch Project is about as iconic as any chilling flick can get. Following a group of students on the prowl in the Maryland woods for an urban legend known as the Blair Witch, the party of three soon loses sight of their documentary project when they wind up getting lost in the never-ending forest hell that may become their final resting place. Forcing our eyes and ears to invent the monsters we never really get to see onscreen, The Blair Witch Project is an amazing film that hits just as hard today as it did on the brink of a new millennium.

Well, what if we told you that the iconic man in white might actually be a mythic murderer pulled straight from the annals of Finnish folklore? Such is the case in director Jalmari Helander’s 2010 horror-comedy Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. When pals Pietari (Onni Tommila) and Juuso (Ilmari Järvenpää) believe that a drilling team has unearthed the grave of Santa, a series of local slaughters start cropping up, with all signs pointing to a runic yuletide beast as the monstrous culprit. A fun deep-dive into a dark fairy tale world of wintery mayhem, Rare Exports isn’t talked about enough, so give it a watch and tell your friends! Read less Read more XX (2017) new Trailer 64 % 4.6/10 r 80m Genre Horror Stars Natalie Brown, Melanie Lynskey, Breeda Wool Directed by Karyn Kusama, Jovanka Vuckovic, Roxanne Benjamin, St. Vincent watch on Hulu watch on Hulu XX bears the unique distinction of being a horror anthology film comprised of four tales directed by female filmmakers — specifically, Jovanka Vuckovic, Annie Clark, Roxanne Benjamin, and Karyn Kusama. With the lens dominated by an engrossing female perspective, each of the vignettes (The Box, The Birthday Party, Don’t Fall, and Her Only Living Son), zeitgeist-focused women’s issues are front and center, albeit drenched in layers of gore, grime, and a blast of dark comedy. XX is a fun watch and maybe not the most articulate or completely coherent collaborative effort. But it works in more ways than one. Read less Read more XX - Official Trailer The Wretched (2020) Trailer 61 % 5.8/10 r 95m Genre Horror, Mystery, Thriller Stars John-Paul Howard, Piper Curda, Jamison Jones Directed by Drew T. Pierce, Brett Pierce watch on Hulu watch on Hulu In The Wretched, John-Paul Howard is Ben Shaw, a teenager contending with the rocky pre-divorce struggles of his parents. These events couldn’t be more ill-timed, as the next-door neighbor may be possessed by a marauding, body-harvesting witch. That’s a conundrum that Ben must deal with before the sorceress can spread her evil reigns further. Playing like a combination of Fright Night meets Robert Eggers’ The Witch, The Wretched checks all the scare boxes, especially when it comes to its unnerving tone and impressive visual effects. Read less Read more Hatching (2022) Trailer 74 % 6.2/10 r 91m Genre Fantasy, Horror Stars Siiri Solalinna, Sophia Heikkilä, Jani Volanen Directed by Hanna Bergholm watch on Hulu watch on Hulu There’s nothing quite like a solid coming-of-age story, especially when the focus is on a 12-year-old gymnast (Siiri Solalinna) named Tinja who comes into the possession of a dying bird’s one and only egg deep in the woods — one that hatches and reveals one of the most visually disturbing combinations of makeup and VFX the world has ever seen. It turns out the creature takes on the likeness of those who raise it, too, leading us down a path of surreal terrors as Tinja does everything in her power to shield her family from the monster’s clutches. There’s plenty to be said about Hatching’s vivisection of girlhood and what it takes to be worthy in the eyes of our mothers. With its David Lynch-inspired visions of idyllic suburbia getting ripped and clawed apart, this is a feature that’s hard to forget. Read less Read more Hatching Trailer #1 (2022) Movieclips Trailers You Are Not My Mother (2022) Trailer 74 % 5.8/10 r 93m Genre Horror, Thriller Stars Hazel Doupe, Paul Reid, Ingrid Craigie Directed by Kate Dolan watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Films like You Are Not My Mother are cleverly-lensed explorations of a world where our parents are not who we think they are. In this 2021 Irish horror film, the story follows Char (Hazel Doupe), her grandmother (Ingrid Craigie), and Char’s mother, Angela (Carolyn Bracken), in the aftermath of Angela’s sudden disappearance. Re-emerging, Angela is not the same parent Char has known her whole life. Exhibiting frightening new behaviors and disturbing thoughts and emotions, it’s up to Char to figure out just what happened to her mother before she’s all but lost to whatever evils have been visited upon her. An astonishing feature debut from Kate Dolan, You Are Not My Mother creates a perplexing, almost folkloric setting and atmosphere where almost any flavor of fear is possible.

Count yourself lucky if such madness escaped you in your youth, because in writer-director Abe Forsythe’s 2019 film Little Monsters, the onscreen kindergarten class isn’t so fortunate. With a cast led by Lupita Nyong’o as kindergarten teacher Miss Caroline, Alexander England as washed-up musician Dave, and Josh Gad as television personality Teddy McGiggles, the horror/rom-com hybrid follows the unlikely trio of adults and Miss Caroline’s students as they fight and defend themselves against zombies that have escaped from a nearby government facility. Filled with heart and soul, laugh-out-loud moments, and a healthy supply of B-movie gore, Little Monsters is an awesome summer flick that assures the viewing world that zombies still have an important place in horror cinema.

Little Joe’s pollen has been meticulously engineered to deliver a sense of joy to those that come into contact with it. But this scientific heightening of emotions soon gets out of hand. As the plant’s influence begins making people act crazy, Alice must come up with a way to deal with her creation before its deadly reign of euphoria cripples the local population. A lo-fi blending of horror and sci-fi, Little Joe is a brilliant piece of genre filmmaking that proves just how far you can go with a singularly gripping concept and a shoestring budget.

And it all started back in 2013 with a great film called Oculus. Starring Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites as siblings Kaylie and Tim, the story follows both characters as they try to come to grips with the death of their parents a decade before. With the theory that an antique heirloom mirror may have been the cause of death, Kaylie and Tim discover their predictions may be all too real as the malevolent mirror begins infiltrating the minds of all who gaze upon their reflections. Oculus will keep you glued to the edge of your seat through the entire flick.

Transposing the rustic hills of Switzerland for the lively streets of Brooklyn, Depraved stars David Call as Henry, a PTSD-riddled field surgeon who is compelled to create a “monster” from the limbs and bits of various humans. After securing the brain, “Adam” (Alex Breaux) comes to life, but Henry should have anticipated the troubles of teaching his newfound creation how to live in the all-too-real world of life after death. There’s a surprising amount of emotional gravitas on display in Fessenden’s Depraved, making for a very compelling foray into the shared world of B-movie madness meets lo-fi drama.

Of particular note are some of the recognizable writers/directors, including Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio and In Fabric), Veronika Franz, and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge), with each segmented novella horror delivering an homage to a significant mythological terror. While not every short hits as hard as the last, the mixed bag ends up in “glass half-full” terrain, with plenty to write home about in terms of vision and execution.

Held borrows from films like Panic Room and other single-location horror-thrillers, delivering a familiar story that gains the higher ground come the third act. Stick around for the reveal — you won’t be disappointed.

While Siobhán struggles to connect with much of the crew, the true struggle comes in the form of a mysterious aquatic devastation that descends upon the isolated vessel. As what appears to be a horrific infection begins spreading from one shipmate to the next, it’s only a matter of time before everyone succumbs to the oceanic plague. A perfect commentary on the current state of world health, Sea Fever delivers its metaphors and allegories in a slow-burning, atmospheric fashion that will keep your eyes glued to the screen from start to finish.

When a sister of faith begins experiencing wretched tendencies, an investigative priest and his apprentice are sent to the remote convent to investigate the phenomena. But as evil spreads its wings wider, not even the benevolent intentions of the priesthood can contain the demonic troubles that boil over. An atmosphere-laden tale of terror, Agnes operates more than effectively on its rather small budget, delivering chills throughout its entire runtime.

Rescued by a nomadic father-and-son duo, Gaia’s troubles grow bigger when she discovers that both men are devotees to a tantalizing and mythic presence harboring deep in the woodlands. Or is it all in their heads? An eerie and hallucinatory film, Gaia will crawl directly under your skin and lurk there for weeks to come. Read less Read more Willy's Wonderland (2021) 44 % 5.5/10 r 88m Genre Action, Horror, Comedy Stars Nicolas Cage, Emily Tosta, Beth Grant Directed by Kevin Lewis watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Nicholas Cage has become the unsung king of B-list horror films over the last few years, with lead performances in off-the-wall films like Mandy and Color Out of Space. In Willy’s Wonderland, the mighty Cage stars as an unnamed protagonist who agrees to take a janitorial job at Willy’s Wonderland for one night to pay for car repairs. But what Nomadic Nick doesn’t see coming is an army of animatronic foes that wage war against him. Armed with whatever he can find, the man must fight for his life to see the sunrise. A bizarre homage to the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, Willy’s Wonderland is a whole bunch of Cage-fueled, off-kilter fun. Read less Read more The Feast (2021) Trailer 63 % 5.5/10 r 93m Genre Horror, Thriller Stars Annes Elwy, Nia Roberts, Julian Lewis Jones Directed by Lee Haven Jones watch on Hulu watch on Hulu When a well-to-do family gathers at a remote Welsh estate for an evening of pleasantries and business dealings with local community members, no one expects the dread and perils that will arrive with the emergence of the evening’s dinner hostess. The Feast ratchets the tension in a painstakingly deliberate fashion (and we say “painstaking” in a good way), culminating in a third act of bombastic proportions. Trust us, it’s one you don’t want to miss.

Writer-director Anthony Scott Burns brings us Come True, a low-budget interpretation of the sprawling dreamscape label that combines horror, sci-fi, and fantasy in new and surprising ways. Our story follows Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone), a woman haunted by all-engrossing nightmares who submits to an experimental sleep study to find the root cause of her somniferous demons. But as the tests begin, Sarah’s sleep-laden hell begins to boil over into her waking life.

Going through the device, he begins to discover some truly disturbing content. All of this is only exacerbated when the same group of college students that left the phone behind start remerging, but in ways more terrifying than Will can fathom. Wounds puts forth the efforts of a dedicated cast and an immersive atmosphere, delivering a film that works in more ways than one, while faltering a bit here and there. As a genre entry though, it’s certainly worth a watch. Read less Read more Hunter Hunter (2021) 61 % 6.4/10 r 93m Genre Horror, Thriller, Mystery Stars Camille Sullivan, Summer H. Howell, Devon Sawa Directed by Shawn Linden watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Nothing says “never venture into the woods” like Hunter Hunter, a taut horror-thriller from writer-director Shawn Linden.

When Joseph, the father, journeys off to hunt down the beast, his family is forced to survive in their remote outpost without him. Then, an injured man named Lou (Nick Stahl) arrives and things start getting very weird. An awesome gem of a small film, Hunter Hunter leans on a slow-burner tactic that will leave most genre fans highly satisfied.

But as parts of the outside world start slithering their way into the house, Melissa and the rest of her kin must do everything in their power to stay alive until help arrives. But will it ever?

Starring Claire Holt and Mandy Moore as sisters Kate and Lisa, our story follows the siblings on what is supposed to be an awesome getaway to Mexico. Out at sea, things take a turn for the worse when the sisters’ shark-diving cage becomes separated from their boat. Plummeting down to Davy Jones’ Locker with dwindling oxygen, Kate and Lisa must contend with the finned foes that surround their weakening barrier. A psychological horror flick with a dab of angry nature mixed in for good measure, 47 Meters Down will keep you away from all bodies of water for a decent period of time.

Sure, it’s a little creepy, but the husband and wife are tired. Well, it turns out sleep isn’t in the cards for them as a series of supernatural forces begin preying upon the family. A film about our inner demons boiling over and consuming us whole, The Night is built on a sordid atmosphere, arresting performances, and effective chills from start to finish. Read less Read more THE NIGHT Official Trailer (2021) Horror, Mystery Movie HD Censor (2021) Trailer 69 % 6/10 r 84m Genre Horror, Mystery Stars Niamh Algar, Michael Smiley, Nicholas Burns Directed by Prano Bailey-Bond watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Enid (Niamh Algar), a film censor, protects the moviegoing public from the exploits of the “nasties” of the day. When the dutiful anti-cinephile is assigned a new disturbing film, it’s nothing but work as usual until Enid starts tracing parts of the violent picture back to a series of traumatic events that occurred in her youth — horrid acts that may have had something to do with the disappearance of her sister. An indie gem for sure, Censor may skip the radar of most Hulu-watchers of today, but we loved its performances and captivating take on the infamous phenomena that was England’s “video nasty” era. Read less Read more Unsane (2018) Trailer 63 % 6.4/10 r 98m Genre Horror, Thriller Stars Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharoah Directed by Steven Soderbergh watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Sawyer Valentini (Claire Foy) has had a horrific two years. After the young woman relocates to Pennsylvania from Boston to escape a relentless stalker, the trauma leads her to a psychiatric center. When she signs a release form, what she doesn’t realize is that her signature has given the institution permission to keep her for 24 hours. After she lashes out at the staff, the physicians decide to extend Sawyer’s stay. As her madness and fright grow, Sawyer discovers that her stalker may be one of the orderlies walking the halls. An homage to B-movie thrills, Steven Soderbergh’s Unsane shows the maestro director experimenting with the confines of a genre he hasn’t spent much time with, along with shooting technology that many of us have right in our pockets (the entire film was shot using an iPhone 7 Plus). Read less Read more UNSANE Official Trailer Black Swan (2010) Trailer 79 % 8.0/10 r 108m Genre Drama, Thriller, Horror Stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel Directed by Darren Aronofsky watch on Hulu watch on Hulu The arts are essential, but an overindulgence in the craft may lead to things we would have preferred avoiding. Such is the case in writer-director Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. The film stars Natalie Portman as Nina Sayers, an aspiring ballerina belonging to a prestigious New York company. The timid but dedicated artisan is given the lead role in the upcoming production of Swan Lake. Her celebration is short-lived, however, when newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis) arrives. Thomas (Vincent Cassel), the director, decides to cast Lily as the Black Swan, stripping one-half of Nina’s role away from her. Psychosis and disturbing events ensue as Nina and Lily’s initial friendship starts disintegrating into an all-out nightmare.

As Tomaz begins servicing the home, a series of strange events start unfolding, leading Tomaz to believe that there’s something sinister living all-too-close to him and his employers. A cerebral creeper with excellent character work and original storytelling, Amulet summons the demons we thought we banished to our pasts, placing these unforgiving monsters front-and-center.

An existential horror masterpiece from indie stalwart Amy Seimetz, She Dies Tomorrow takes the idea of chain-mail, email blasts, and social media bloat and turns these mundane addictions into a spreadable psychosis that catches everyone off guard. Hallucinatory, disorienting, and packed with big ideas and mighty deliverables, She Dies Tomorrow is one you don’t want to miss.

Sandberg watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Before creeping out audiences across the globe as a feature endeavor, writer-director David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out began as a popular short film that terrorized the Internet. In this long-form adaptation, Teresa Palmer stars as Rebecca, a young woman reeling from a disturbed childhood in which a horrific entity ceaselessly stalked and terrorized her from the shadows. Now, her younger brother Martin (Gabriel Bateman) is contending with the same night-clad foe, a being that may be supernaturally tied to Teresa and Martin’s mother (Maria Bello). A solid horror flick through and through, Lights Out doesn’t exactly reinvent the genre but adds a satiating, trope-laden entry to the annals of terror that grossed close to $150 million against a $5 million budget.

The cause of the stranding? A shadow-cloaked creature that claims the desolate country road as its own, terrorizing and stalking the teens. As the night wears on, tensions continue mounting as the kids attempt to get away from the vicious being. A campy but spirited throwback to heightened monster movies, Shortcut may not bring complete originality to the table, but the homages to ’80s chillers are enough to keep us plugged in and asking for more.

Hoping to secure a major cash haul from a hidden safe in the house, what the band of youths didn’t anticipate was a turning of the tables by the seemingly elderly homeowners, a couple with more bite than they let show on the surface. A gruesome but thrilling addition to the home invasion subgenre, The Owners places great emphasis on the talented ensemble cast, particularly Sylvester McCoy and Rita Tushingham as the tantalizing septuagenarians.

Entrusted with a series of top-secret documents, the all-male crew initially goes out of their way to prove troublesome to the squad’s female addition — that is, until a malevolent being starts destroying their aircraft as the crew enters a sky-set ambush. It’s up to Maude to overcome the monster on board the flight before the creature triggers a nose-dive ending for the hapless brigade. A satisfying blend of action and horror dressed in the threads of a period drama, Shadow in the Cloud serves up plenty of thrills through its hour-plus runtime.

Impressed with her idea, Zora asks Anna to lose her Afro in favor of a weave, in keeping with the network’s modern image. But as it turns out, Anna’s new hair-do is cursed and hungry for blood. An incredible mashup of camp and satirical commentary, Bad Hair is a fun-loving ’80s horror throwback that’s dying to meet you.

Judging it by its plot alone, there isn’t a lot about Sputnik that sounds unique — after all, stories of humans acting as unwilling hosts to aliens are as old as moon craters. What makes Sputnik stand out is how the story is told. Yes, it has its moments of CGI grandeur and monstrous gore, but for much of the story, you don’t know exactly what kind of film you’re watching or who the real villains are. Almost everyone in the movie is hiding something, from the possessed Konstantin to the psychiatrist Tatyana (Oksana Akinshina) who interrogates him, and the military commanders overseeing it all. The result is a more intelligent and compelling horror than you’re expecting.

Over a decade ago, there was Let the Right One In (based on the Swedish novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist), an ultra-compelling, air-brushed interpretation of classic vampiric lore. Set in Stockholm in the early 80s, we follow Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) through his everyday tribulations as a bullied adolescent. When a quiet, pale-faced girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson) moves in next door to him, the two youths foster a friendship. Unbeknownst to Oskar, Eli is actually a budding vampiress living under the watchful eye of Håkan, her late-aged guardian and keeper. Foregoing tropes and easy scares, Let the Right One In instead focuses on the emotional connection between the film’s two fragile youths, an impressive character study set against the moody nighttime exteriors of a snowy Stockholm. Critics raved that Let the Right One In pumped new life into the overly trod vampire genre. Now, you be the judge.

From the malicious minds that brought us 2014’s Goodnight Mommy, The Lodge is a discomforting blend of close-quarters madness, familial frailty, and religious insanity. Indie stalwart Riley Keough delivers a restrained but haunting performance as the rattled stepmother. As strange events begin piling up at the remote cabin, the stepchildren (played by Jaeden Martell and Lia McHugh) do a little digging and discover their new mom is the single escapee of a very dark past. Intense, lurking visuals, oppressively dim lighting, and a dooming score are the backbone to this tale of winter woe that will keep you guessing from start to finish. Think The Shining, but on a painfully microcosmic scale.

Director Josephine Decker’s film is an adaptation of Susan Scarff Merrell’s 2014 novel of the same name, about a young couple, Fred and Rose (Logan Lerman and Odessa Young), who moves in with Shirley Jackson and her husband, Stanley Hyman (Michael Stuhlbarg). As Rose starts to befriend Shirley, a series of unusual events and increasing psychological duress morphs a once-promising living situation into a perplexing nightmare for all involved. The entire cast is on fire in Decker’s film, creating a tormented stage of performances not unlike the battered and belligerent souls of Edward Albee’s famous 1962 play, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? While less an outright horror film, Shirley effectively builds its terror-laced atmosphere through a slow burn of rich little oddities and uncanny phenomena. Regardless of its exact genre pinnings, we highly recommend it.

For a nominal fee, Florida residents can call in Wrinkles, a professional creeper clown, to scare the kiddies straight. Wrinkles the Clown is a multilayered documentary about the very real clown for hire, focusing on the man behind the mask, the communities he serves, the families that call upon his services, and the internet-obsessed teens who use his phone number as a thrilling rite of passage. Wrinkles the Clown is sincerely uncomfortable but also utterly fascinating. Just as we begin to get used to the film’s odd cast of characters, the doc does a complete 180, unfolding an entirely new layer to the Wrinkles mythos. What new layer, exactly? You’ll just have to see for yourself. Read less Read more
