TITANE (2021)

🍅90%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐6.4IMDb

A woman with a titanium plate in her skull kills, gets pregnant by a car, binds her body flat and passes herself off as a fire captain’s missing son. Ducournau’s Raw was my favorite film of 2017, and this one bites harder.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

HEEL (2025)

🍅88%Critics🍿76%Audience

A family kidnaps a hard-partying, misanthropic 19-year-old and chains him up in their home, determined not just to punish him but to rehabilitate him into one of their own. Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough play father and mother consequence, the latter so pale and whispery she seems like a Victorian ghost. A touch A Clockwork Orange meets The Loved Ones, Jan Komasa’s darkly funny psychological thriller heads to rather unexpected places.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · See where it ranks among the best horror of the 2020s

SANCTUARY (2022)

🍅88%Critics🍿82%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

A hotel-suite two-hander between an heir and the dominatrix he’s trying to retire before taking over the family company. Qualley commands every scene with a gravitational pull as total as the domme she plays. Christopher Abbott and Margaret Qualley spar for control across one hotel suite, and Zachary Wigon keeps the power games unpredictable.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

WRONG TURN (2021)

🍅64%Critics🍿59%Audience⭐5.6IMDb

Hikers on the Appalachian Trail cross a self-governing mountain society that has been up there since before the Civil War. A franchise detour that pivots away from everything the series was built on, and is hugely enjoyable for exactly that reason.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011)

🍅74%Critics🍿78%Audience⭐7.4IMDb

Tilda Swinton plays a mother reckoning with her son’s horrific act and the years of warning signs that led to it. Lynne Ramsay’s fractured, blood-red drama is psychological horror in its purest form, and Ezra Miller is chilling as Kevin.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

SYNCHRONIC (2020)

🍅79%Critics🍿76%Audience⭐6.2IMDb

A New Orleans paramedic with a terminal diagnosis works a run of impossible deaths caused by a designer drug that unsticks you in time.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE LODGE (2020)

🍅75%Critics🍿51%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Two kids are snowed into a remote cabin with their father’s new fiancée, the lone survivor of a suicide cult, and the heat goes out. Franz and Fiala’s style is as icy as the oblivion they set it in. Riley Keough is unforgettable as a stepmother snowed in with two hostile kids in Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s bleak, icy psychological horror.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

HOUSEBOUND (2014)

🍅95%Critics🍿73%Audience⭐6.7IMDb

New Zealand remains the king of horror-comedy, this time presenting a maybe-haunted-house story about a pissy jailbird under house arrest, contending with a possible possession and a definitely annoying mum. A woman sentenced to house arrest in her mother’s creaky New Zealand home starts hearing things, and Gerard Johnstone’s horror comedy is a riot of twists.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

COME TO DADDY (2020)

🍅87%Critics🍿75%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Elijah Wood flies to a remote coastal house to reconnect with the father who abandoned him, and things go sideways in the most deranged way possible. Ant Timpson’s pitch-black comedy swings from awkward to gruesome without warning, which is exactly the fun of it.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

THE INVITATION (2015)

🍅90%Critics🍿69%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

Ignorance certainly isn’t bliss when a man attends a dinner party at his ex’s (and her new lover’s) house. Something is off, or so he believes. Karyn Kusama dials the tension up, up, and away. Karyn Kusama’s slow-burn dinner party is a masterclass in creeping paranoia, and its final shot is chilling.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

SCARE ME (2020)

🍅84%Critics🍿57%Audience⭐3.1IMDb

Two writers stuck in a blackout cabin tell each other horror stories, acted out with nothing but voices and shadows. For Fred the scariest thing is being outclassed by a better storyteller. A lady storyteller.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

STARRY EYES (2014)

🍅75%Critics🍿56%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Low-budge indie horror tracks the disintegration of a wanna-be Hollywood starlet, complete with a Kafka-esque transformation that’ll have even the hardest of horror fans squirming. Alex Essoe gives a fearless performance as an aspiring actress who will do anything for a role, in a nasty satire of Hollywood ambition.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (2013)

🍅86%Critics🍿50%Audience⭐5.9IMDb

A remake of the Mexican horror movie of the same name, this cannibal family psycho-drama invests in relationships that pay increasing dividends, as unlikely country folk take to the subsequent murder and consumption of their neighbors, all which leads up to an absolutely fireworks ending.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

CHEAP THRILLS (2013)

🍅87%Critics🍿69%Audience⭐6.7IMDb

An antagonistic satire on American capitalism sees two lowly no-ones completing increasingly harmful dares at the behest of a rich benefactor. A sometimes mean-spirited and definitely pissed off black comedy that’ll kick you in the teeth.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

HONEYMOON (2014)

🍅77%Critics🍿44%Audience⭐5.7IMDb

It’s the hollow spaces between the words, the falsity of her gestures, the empty recitation of loving remarks that imbues Honeymoon with such an eerie tautness. Leigh Janiak’s debut turns a newlywed getaway at a lakeside cabin into slow-creeping body horror, with Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway superb as the couple.▶︎ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

HUNTER HUNTER (2020)

🍅94%Critics🍿65%Audience⭐6.4IMDb

A fur-trapping family in the Manitoba woods hunts a wolf and brings home a wounded stranger instead. French New Extremity by way of the American backwoods, winding to the most disturbing imaginable conclusion. Need shower ASAP.▶︎ Watch on Tubi

BLOODY HELL (2020)

🍅91%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

A bank robbery hero flees his own fame to Finland and gets carved up by a family feeding something in their basement. Follows proudly in the grand tradition of Australian horror, irreverent about the genre while adding a worthwhile entry to it.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

GAIA (2021)

🍅84%Critics🍿44%Audience⭐5.6IMDb

A ranger stumbles onto two survivalists in a South African forest worshipping a fungal god that grows through people. A triple feast for the eyes that’s also super horned up, with Carel Nel giving off major Klaus Kinski energy. Even the trees are vaginal.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

COHERENCE (2013)

🍅89%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

Stretching a heady sci-fi concept to razor-wire tautness, this eerie mindfuck also turned a nothing budget into a hazy intellectual exercise in minimalism and paranoia. Trust no-one, stay inside. Shot on a shoestring over a few nights with a largely improvised script, James Ward Byrkit’s dinner-party puzzle box rewards a second viewing.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

HUSH (2016)

🍅92%Critics🍿73%Audience⭐6.6IMDb

The “She’s deaf” equivalent of A Quiet Place and Don’t Breathe, this unsettling invasion thriller (also from Flanagan) boils down the essential ingredients of a horror movie and delivers them in ideally measured fashion.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review · Mike Flanagan Movies and Shows, Ranked

BONE TOMAHAWK (2015)

🍅91%Critics🍿74%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

An old-fashioned western takes a horror hard left into cannibalism and bone tomahawks in this wild, wild slow-burn that features some of the most gruesome kills of the decade and Lost‘s Matthew Fox in rare movie mode.▶︎ Watch on Tubi

JAKOB’S WIFE (2021)

🍅85%Critics⭐5.5IMDb

A minister’s wife of thirty years gets bitten, and vampirism is the best thing that ever happened to her marriage. Goretastic and laugh out loud hilarious, a ’90s throwback openly in love with Nosferatu. Barbara Crampton is wonderful as a minister’s wife who discovers a new appetite for life (and blood), with Larry Fessenden as her bewildered husband.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

TERRIFIER 2 (2022)

🍅88%Critics🍿81%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

Art the Clown is back, and his set pieces are longer, nastier, and more gleefully excessive than before. Damien Leone’s splatter epic is not for the faint of stomach, but for gorehounds it is an absolute event. David Howard Thornton’s silent, slapstick Art is the franchise’s secret weapon.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

TUCKER AND DALE VS. EVIL (2010)

🍅86%Critics🍿85%Audience⭐7.5IMDb

Hillbilly horror-comedy follows two misunderstood softies trying to relax for the weekend but come up against pretentious college tools who assume the worst. Bloody mishaps ensue. Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine are lovable hillbillies mistaken for killers by a group of panicky college kids, and the body count piles up hilariously.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi

WEREWOLVES WITHIN (2021)

🍅86%Critics🍿80%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

A forest ranger and a mail carrier lock a Vermont town’s worth of feuding neighbors in one inn while something outside eats the generators. Clue with lycanthropy. Sam Richardson leads a snowbound small-town whodunit with a furry twist, and the ensemble comedy lands as well as the scares.▶︎ Watch free on Tubi · Read the full review

LET ME IN (2010)

🍅88%Critics🍿76%Audience⭐7.1IMDb

Matt Reeves’ remake of the cult Swedish film Let The Right On In distinguishes itself enough to warrant a watch, offering a higher caliber of special effects to highlight some of the more inherent nastiness of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel.▶︎ Watch on Tubi

BACKCOUNTRY (2014)

🍅93%Critics🍿53%Audience⭐6.0IMDb

The movie that made my wife afraid of bears, Backcountry exploits fear of wilderness and crafts masterfully blocked scenes of sheer terror to elicit maximum fear. Never deviate from the path.▶︎ Watch on Tubi

BETTER WATCH OUT (2016)

🍅89%Critics🍿63%Audience⭐6.5IMDb

Santa will be adding some new names to the naughty list in this expectation-subverting Christmas bloodbath that coins the kill term “Home Alone-ing.” You’re curious now, aren’t you?▶︎ Watch on Tubi
