Fans of horror movies understand that the genre is popular all year round, not just during the spooky month of October. There are so many different sub-genres that make up horror, keeping it fresh and constantly reaching different audiences. If you're not into body horror or gruesome scenes where you cover your eyes, you might enjoy comedy-horror movies that focus on lame jokes to keep your heart at bay as people are taken out one by one. Or maybe you can't stand a horror movie trying to be funny, and you want something serious and mind blowing, and opt for a psychological horror that will hook you from the very beginning.
Be that as it may, several streaming services have released original movies and series that are grabbing the attention of horror and thriller lovers. They aren't always as exciting as the sleeper that comes along because they don't have a jaw-dropping cast of A-listers. Hulu falls into the hands of great horror movies that don't get the recognition they deserve, especially if you're looking for something new. Here's a list of eight original Hulu horror movies to watch and add to your list.
8 Down (2019)
Hulu has a series called Into the dark which consists of an hour and a half of horror or thriller based episodes. A few episodes of the series made it onto this list, and the first to show up is Down. On Valentine's Day, two colleagues get stuck in an elevator after working late, and all their other colleagues go home, leaving them trapped and alone in the office building. Tensions quickly rise between the pair after hours spent in the elevator together, revealing real identities and violence showing its face.
7 No Exit (2022)
Studios from the 20th century
No exit is based on the thriller novel of the same name by author Taylor Adams. If you've read the novel, you know that the movie deviates a bit from the plot, but as a standalone horror movie, it's great. A young woman, Darby, a recovering addict, travels home in the middle of one of the biggest blizzards and doesn't get far before she has to stop at a rest stop. She gets trapped there and soon discovers that one of the four persons sharing the resting place with her has kidnapped a young girl. It's a night of fighting to survive and save the child, as Darby tries to find out who the kidnapper is, while also staying alive.
6 Fresh (2022)
It's a modern love story gone wrong. In the supermarket, a boy meets a girl. Boy flirts with girl over cotton candy grapes. Boy then lures the girl home and turns out to be a cannibal. Romantic, right? Fresh is a great horror movie for people who like a mix of body horror and movies based on people eating other people. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan Wow in this thriller, and you'll be wary the next time you walk into a grocery store and see an attractive person loitering in the vegetable aisle.
5 Pure (2019)
Another entry from Into the dark, Pure is based on both religious themes and cultic vibes, so if you're into that, this one is for you. Pure depicts twisted relationships between fathers and their daughters, with a group of them attending a camp that holds a purity ball every year. Women are disrespected and expected to keep their virginity intact until marriage, but many girls disagree with that mindset. Pure will leave you reeling a bit and feeling a little sick as the episode plays out that will make you wish you never came across a cult like this.
4 Run (2020)
Sarah Paulson plays a very terrifying mother who is in complete control of her daughter, who thinks she is disabled and cannot walk. Chloe, played by Kiera Allen, was born prematurely and has a number of ailments that keep her at home and away from the outside world. One day, Chloe discovers a pillbox with her mother's name on it, but she recognizes the pill as her own. Chloe starts to panic and immediately thinks her mother gave her pills she doesn't really need, which is exactly the case. Paulson is excellent as an overbearing mother who can't let go of her only child, twisted as she constantly poisons her daughter to keep her under her care.
3 Delivered (2020)
This episode of Into the dark airs on Mother's Day in 2020 during its second season, and those with a fear of claustrophobia will want to avoid this episode. Delivered focuses on a mother-to-be who befriends a woman in a Lamaze class; the two quickly bond as they bond over the thought of their soon-to-be children. Valerie, our main character in this episode, soon finds out that Jenny, her new friend, is not who she seems to be. Jenny's true intentions are revealed when she becomes dangerous, and the plot twist will leave you speechless.
2 False positive
If you are not a fan of pregnancy horror, then this movie is definitely not for you. False positive explores the story of a woman desperately trying to conceive from her husband. After a few years, they decide Dr. Hindle, a famous doctor who helps artificially inseminate women. Lucy soon becomes pregnant with triplets, but decides to keep only one after hearing how dangerous it would be to have all three. One thing happens quickly after another, and Lucy's life is on the line when she realizes that Dr. Hindle can't be trusted, but with a name like that, how could he be?
1 They Come Knocking (2019)
They come knocking is part of the Into the dark series, and this installment focuses on supernatural elements to bring home the physiological thriller. A father who lost his wife to cancer decides to take his two daughters to the middle of the desert to camp and honor their mother. They soon learn that they are not alone in the vast desert, and a group of strange individuals pursues them, wrecking their car so they cannot escape, and appearing as little children in the middle of the night. They come knocking isn't so much a horror movie as it is a thriller, but it's still a big contender for this list.
