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 Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus (2024) and David Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future (2022). There's also the supernatural movie The Night House (2020), psychological horror Black Swan (2010) and romance-gone-wrong Fresh (2022). Finally, you should check out Cuckoo (2024), Humane (2024) and Immaculate (2024), starring Sydney Sweeney.
Now, onto a roundup of the best horror movies on the streamer.
This bleak thriller from writer-director Osgood Perkins delivers twists, haunting visuals and a highly unsettling villain. The flick follows a young FBI agent looking into multiple baffling family murders. Nicolas Cage stars as the sufficiently startling titular character.
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 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.
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.
A possessed girl is a special guest on a 1977 talk show in this horror flick that gradually gets more intense. The film stars David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy, a charismatic host who wants to boost his ratings. If you're craving supernatural horror, stay seated for this terrifying Halloween special.
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.
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.
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.
