Hulu full of thrillers. Before we list the best streaming service options, let’s cover some worthy alternatives.
Hulu is home to Bong Joon Ho’s The Host (2006). There’s also the psychological horror film Smile (2022), the slasher Thanksgiving (2023) and the romance-gone-wrong Fresh (2022). Finally, you should check out Dangerous Animals (2025), Immaculate (2024), Clown in a Cornfield (2025) and Bone Tomahawk (2015), starring Kurt Russell.
Now, head on over to the roundup of the best horror movies on Hulu.
The Ugly Stepsister combines dreamy fairy tale sequences with hacked limbs as Elvira goes to extremes to win the prince. The film from Norwegian director Emilie Blichfeldt won an Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling, and is likely to be a hit with horror fans of The Substance.
This horror comedy adapts a Stephen King short story and centers on twin brothers (both played by White Lotus star Theo James) and an evil toy monkey. Directed by Osgood Perkins (Longlegs), the flick sees a brutal death occur in the presence of an unruly, drumming monkey.
This disturbing dark comedy amps up Hulu’s horror franchise. Together stars real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco as a couple in a lifelong relationship. Moving from the city to the country presents a mild physical shock.
If you are incredibly talented at math, invisible killing machines as horror, you may have watched some scenes in Prey with your fingers. This addition to the Predator franchise takes place in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago and focuses on a young warrior named Naru. Watch this one for a compelling underdog story about a man determined to fight a powerful alien.
A seemingly made-up monster steps into the lives of a single mother and her young son in this critically acclaimed movie. Fears are growing after a gruesome news story emerges. The film is written and directed by Jennifer Kent, who also wrote and directed the 2018 thriller The Nightingale.
A foul-mouthed girl is a special guest on a 1977 talk show in this increasingly tense horror drama. The film stars David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy, a charismatic host looking to improve his ratings. If you crave supernatural horror, stay tuned for this spooky Halloween special.
You’re Ready or You’re Not — horror, comedy, murderous in-laws and a memorable performance by Samara Weaving. There’s another sequel in theaters later this month. In the first film, things take a turn for the worse after newlywed Grace (Weaving) participates in a ritual with her new husband’s family.
This heartwarming thriller — the second film on this list from writer-director Osgood Perkins — delivers twists, terrifying visuals and an unsettling villain. The flick follows a young FBI agent who investigates multiple family murders. Nicolas Cage stars as the titular character who is frightening enough.
The drama stars the charming Nell Tiger Free (Myrcella Baratheon on Game of Thrones) as an American woman working in Rome who uncovers a plot to spawn the Antichrist. It is a prequel to 1976’s The Omen.
