Looking for something scarier? Here are the best modern horror movies on Tubi.

WILD TALES (2014)

Szifrón’s smokin’ opus is batshit in all the right ways: it’s ironic, smart, blisteringly funny and downright brutal. It’s a concoction of true madness and borderline genius, shaken up and exploding onto the screen in gory, imaginative splashes.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THEATER CAMP (2023)

Fueled by a script that absolutely sings and the thespian talent and improvisational ingenuity to back it up, Theater Camp is a hysterical and delightful trip to mockumentary perfection that stands as one of the best comedy films in recent memory. More Molly Gordon in everything please.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

HONEYLAND (2019)

Honeyland masterfully employs the documentary medium to tell a sprawling story about sustainability through the lens of a traditional Macedonian beekeeper. The perfect cross section of educational entertainment and storytelling prowess, the Sundance award winner is nectar for the soul that buzzes with poignancy.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

ENEMY (2014)

Enemy tricks and weaves, flowing its way through psyche until you’re left wondering what’s true and false, what’s real and what’s not.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

ERNEST & CELESTINE (2012)

This is my favorite film I’ve seen all year, and I don’t think that will change for a good while. When your eyes water at the end, you’ll be wishing for a youth lost long ago.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

TITANE (2021)

Titane sees Julia Ducournau use expressive body horror and ostensibly insane plotting to explore the very-real transformative nature of childbearing. A startling and genuinely thrilling work of avant-garde brilliance.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SPOTLIGHT (2015)

Spotlight is a classically told investigative thriller featuring confident performances from its able ensemble. Though it adheres to a familiar narrative style, its overwhelmingly excellent craftsmanship makes it a strong feature and an even stronger awards contender.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

COLD IN JULY (2014)

As the next chapter in Mickle’s ascension, Cold in July is a wonderfully stylized jangle of unsettling imagery, deep-seated tension, and brash, bold, cold comeuppances.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SWISS ARMY MAN (2016)

One of the most bizarre and bizarrely beautiful films to grace the Sundance Dramatic Competition in quite some time, Swiss Army Man is not a film to be puzzled out in one go but that’s ok. It’s mightily entertaining, features two standout performances and has enough raw originality coursing through its veins to make it truly stand in a league of its own.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

ONLY GOD FORGIVES (2013)

Even when the film is as subtle as a neon sign, it’s as sharp as a wakizashi, making Only God Forgives a 21st century creation myth at its most boldly esoteric.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

SANCTUARY (2023)

Sanctuary, a kinky dark romantic comedy, transcends its overtly sexually-charged trappings to become a provocative exploration of power, control, and trust. With an unforgettable performance from Margaret Qualley, it’s a wildly unpredictable ride that’ll leaves an indelible mark on the more risqué viewer’s psyche.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

HEREDITARY (2018)

Ranking up their with the great contemporary horror movies of our time, Hereditary delivers the scares of ‘The Conjuring’ with the atmospherics of ‘The Shining’ all matched to a jaw-droppingly stunning performance from Toni Collette. Now go scare the shit out of yourself with it.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

THE SISTERS BROTHERS (2018)

The Sisters Brothers subverts every waking expectation one has for the Western genre, currying favor with rich, strange performances and a bold penchant for charging down the dirtroad less traveled. Poetic, eccentric, and surprisingly heartrending at times, consider the latest from Jacques Audiard a flashbang must-see.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

ALL IS LOST (2013)

Finger-nibblingly exciting when it needs to be, nimbly quiet when called for, but always full of hope and tenacity, All is Lost is a whopper.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

CLIMAX (2018)

A purified blast of masterfully refined schlock, Climax is a depraved and largely unpleasant experience that boasts technical genius, a roaring soundtrack and wholly authentic performances. It’s at once impossible to recommend and the most disturbing, effective piece of filmmaking I’ve yet seen in 2019.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

WHAT MAISIE KNEW (2013)

What Maisie Knew is an emotional powerhouse of a film led by an adorably funny-faced young actress functioning on a purely natural level, allowing the “performance” underneath to disappear entirely.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BOYHOOD (2014)

A monolith of cinema, Richard Linklater‘s Boyhood is a soaring accomplishment of product and process.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

PEARL (2022)

An electrifying improvement over ‘X’, Ti West’s Technicolor slasher is a darkly funny thirst trap; a gory origin story that sees Mia Goth give an absolute scene-stealing performance as the titular Pearl.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

BLUE RUIN (2014)

Unexpectedly wonderful, Blue Ruin is the reason why America needs independent cinema.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (2014)

With Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, a truly magical work that had me giddy, mouth agape in sheer wonder (like a big-mouth bass caught hook, line and sinker) I will happily cloak myself in that tired sentiment.▶ Watch on Tubi · Read the full review
