While the genre streamer has a huge library of older favorites and classics, it’s also full of titles that came out in 2024. Here are 10 to check out for maximum horror.

Oddity

Do not sleep any longer Oddityguaranteed a movie interfere with your sleep once you experience it. Written and directed by Damian McCarthy, this Irish Cooler follows Darcy (Carolyn Bracken), a blind woman determined to learn the truth about her twin sister’s murder. A creepy psychiatric hospital and an isolated old house make for cringe-worthy settings, but Bracken’s performance and the fact that Darcy owns a store full of cursed items—and isn’t afraid to use them! Odditys most unique freaky element.

Mads

David Moreau’s Mads offers proof that there is always a way to create the zombie genre feel fresh again. This French release follows a group of friends who experience the beginnings of a mysterious eruption… in a film that feels like it’s unfolding in a tense, thrilling continuous take.

Late night with the devil

Although this retro style, Sleeper hit starring David Dastmalchian about a Faustian talk show host that came out in March, it actually takes place on Halloween, making it the perfect choice for weekend viewing. That’s what Mr. Wriggles wants you to do!

W/H/S/Beyond

The long-running found-image anthology series adds a particular emphasis on sci-fi in this latest installment, but there’s still plenty of body horror—a F/H/S specialty — walking around here. The jaw-dropping final minutes of Kate Siegel’s UFO saga “Stowaway” live rent-free in our heads now, and we both love and hate her for it.

In a violent nature

We wasn’t completely on board with this “slasher from the slasher’s POV” experiment, but the gore is excellent — and In a violent natures ability to say something new about one of horror’s most well-worn genres still makes it fascinating. It’s also definitely the only film out there that celebrates Terrence Malick as much and Jason Voorhees.

Stop motion

When her mother – a famous stop-motion animator – falls ill, Ella (Aisling Franciosi) is finally free to pursue her own animation career. But unbridled creativity comes at a price, especially when it’s embedded in so many complicated emotions. Ella’s stop-motion world soon begins to bleed into realityallows Stop motion making excellent use of both live-action and animated sequences as it charts her breakdown.

Destroy all neighbors

“A love letter to prog rock featuring a disembodied head” might not describe it all Destroy all neighborsbut it’s a good start—and a good time is guaranteed if you stream this horror comedy about a frustrated musician who goes through hell (not literally, but he comes very close) to achieve his dreams.

Azrael

In the post-apocalypse, demons roam the earth – which sounds like the set-up for a big, FX-laden fantasy adventure, but Azrael is instead styled as a gritty survival thriller, with a quiet Samara Weaving fighting for her life in a forest full of horrors both human and otherwise.

Devil’s Bath

The latest from Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, the film team behind Goodnight mom and The lodgederives its story from actual historical documents. Set in Austria in 1750, it follows a religious woman trapped in a deeply unsatisfying life – and who will see a horrific act of violence as her only way to escape. It’s a grim story, but a wonderful one; the cinematography won an award at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival.

The demon disorder

The special effects artist was director Steven Boyle wearing a helmet this horrible Australian import about a trio of brothers dealing with some very unpleasant unfinished business regarding their father, who may be dead but is still very much present in their lives. Boyle’s FX background means the gore gets special emphasis, and it does memorable distressing.
