You’ve already watched every available episode of Wednesday—and every installment of Trainwreck too. Keep the frights flowing with the 10 best horror movies streaming on Netflix right now.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
If the recent trailer for the documentary Chain Reactions gave you a longing to revisit Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic, Netflix has you covered. Just make sure you click on the original, giving the 2022 made-for-Netflix remake the widest berth possible. Watch on Netflix.
Barbarian
Three years ago, actor-turned-writer-director Zack Cregger released his solo feature debut and—once fans took notice—became a bona fide member of the horror A-list. Weapons is proof of that. And even if you know the strange places Barbarian travels after setting up its tale of an Airbnb rental gone awry, it’s a film that rewards the repeat viewer. Not just for all the Justin Long scenes, but they’re part of it. Watch on Netflix.
Talk to Me
Speaking of Trainwreck, did you spot one of the twin directors of Talk to Me (and this year’s Bring Her Back) in the “Storm Area 51” episode? That same manic YouTube energy propels this tale of teens who take a party game involving a severed hand with possession powers a little too far—but Talk to Me is also infused with slow-burn dread that creeps under your skin as you’re watching. Watch on Netflix.
Us
Jordan Peele‘s next directorial effort isn’t coming until next year, and while we have no idea what it’s about, his track record of Get Out, Us, and Nope assures a unique nightmare awaits. This 2019 entry beckons you to take a little trip to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, where the mirrors of the fun house reveal a secret about humanity that’s long overdue to be let out. Featuring a dual performance by Lupita Nyong’o that really should’ve gotten more awards attention. Watch on Netflix.
