Hulu is packed with fascinating horror films. Before we get into a list of the absolute best options on the streaming service, let’s cover some worthy alternates.
Hulu is home to David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future (2022) and Bong Joon-ho’s The Host (2006). There’s also spine-chilling sci-fi Alien (1979), psychological horror flick Mandy (2018) and romance-gone-wrong Fresh (2022). Finally, you should check out The Omen (1976), Smile (2022), Ready or Not (2019) and Immaculate (2024) starring Sydney Sweeney.
Now, onto a roundup of the best horror movies on the streamer. All these films scored higher than 70 on Metacritic.
If you count incredibly capable, invisible killing machines as scary, you may be watching some of the scenes in Prey through your fingers. This addition to the Predator franchise takes place in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago and centers on a young warrior named Naru. Watch this one for a compelling underdog story about a human determinedly fighting against a powerful alien.
A young woman travels to Detroit for a job interview and discovers her Airbnb has been double-booked. That may be how this engrossing horror film starts, but it soon descends into complete chaos. With twists in the story and superb acting all around, Barbarian is freaky, five-star horror fare.
This Finnish creature movie is plucked straight from your feathery nightmares. The flick introduces Tinja, a 12-year-old girl who discovers a strange egg that hatches into a monstrous bird. The horrendous creature contrasts greatly with her family’s expectations of perfection. So it’s kind of like a cursed version of E.T. Well, maybe not. You can watch and come to your own conclusions.
This flick stars a captivating Nell Tiger Free (Myrcella Baratheon in Game of Thrones) as an American woman working in Rome who uncovers a scheme to birth the Antichrist. It’s a prequel to 1976’s The Omen, which is also streaming on Hulu.
A teenage girl is viciously bullied at a local pool and then happens upon a stranger abducting her three tormentors. This gripping, Spanish-language movie is based on a short film and stars Laura Galán.
Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård star in this disturbing film directed by Brandon Cronenberg (son of horror filmmaker David) about a vacationing couple that ventures outside their island resort and accidentally commits a crime. You won’t be able to take your eyes off scream queen Goth, and Succession fans will enjoy more of the talented Skarsgård.
You Are Not My Mother introduces Char, a bright teenage girl who’s living with her grandmother and mentally ill mother, Angela. Angela disappears, and when she returns, she acts eerily different. It’s a creepy, slow-burn mystery you’ll want to stick with, anchored by a strong central character.
