Best New Horror Movies To Stream At Home

April has arrived with the best new horror movies to stream at home. It is the month where we all start gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year for horror fans.  We officially glide into Halfway to Halloween, starting this month.  Can you believe it? What does that mean for horror fans looking to stream some fantastic movies at home? It means you are so lucky because the streaming services have started to put horror on the front burner with new films, cult classics, and franchises ready for a binge watch or three.

Netflix has three new films, with two of them leaning into survival horror, Apex, starring Charlize Theron, Eric Bana, and Taron Edgerton where a widow, looking to heal her grief, ends up trying to escape from a devious killer, and Thrash, with killer sharks and a whopper of a storm that floods an entire town, with Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), Djimon Hounsou (A Quiet Place: Day One, Constantine), and Whitney Peak (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), directed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow).

The third is an animated series based on the Duffer Brothers' characters, from showrunner Eric Robles, Stranger Things: Tales From '85.  A new cast voices the characters: Eleven (voiced by Brooklyn Davey Norstedt), Mike (Luca Diaz), Will (Benjamin Plessala), Dustin (Braxton Quinney), Lucas (Elisha “EJ” Williams), Max (In Your Dreams’ Jolie Hoang-Rappaport), Hopper (Brett Gipson), and Steve (Supergirl’s Jeremy Jordan).

They are joined by Marty Supreme’s Odessa A’zion (Nikki Baxter), Janeane Garofalo (Anna Baxter),  Lou Diamond Phillips (Daniel Fischer), Robert Englund (Cosmo), Alysia Reiner (Karen Wheeler), Alessandra Antonelli (Nancy Wheeler), Valeria Rodriguez (Rosario), and Jack Griffo (Jeff). In the show, the kids must save Hawkins from a mysterious paranormal menace that threatens the town again after the Upside Down was seemingly defeated. The friends must band together to find out if their old nemesis has returned.

Prime brings Tobe Hooper's tale of space vampires with Lifeforce, David Slade's (30 Days of Night) overlooked yet stylish, Dark Harvest, Mark Mylod's (Game of Thrones, Succession) cutthroat horror comedy of revenge in the world of restaurants, The Menu, starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicholas Hoult, and the cult found footage film, The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

Shudder is going all out for Halfway to Halloween, reaching back into the vault with the 70's horror movies like the ratphobe's worst nightmares, Willard and Ben, Ken Russell's magnificent, surreal film of religious mania as a cover for politics, over the backdrop of the Black Plague, that spawns a witchhunt after an abbess (Vanessa Redgrave) claims to have been possessed by the priest, Urban Grandier (Oliver Reed), who is accused of having made a deal with the Devil.

There is also a tribute to the late, great Udo Kier, as the service has added Blood for Dracula and Flesh for Frankenstein, which are films, like Russell's The Devils, that need to be seen to be believed. Another hard-to-find film is Three…extremes, a scary anthology film from directors Fruit Chan, Park Chan-wook, and Takashi Miike. New to the channel are the films Deathstalker (April 3), Somnium (April 10), Dolly (April 24), a new episode from Joe Bob and Darcy, The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs: Joe Bob's Wicked Witchy Wingding (April 24), and director Ryan Prows' Night Patrol. 

Ryan Prows is known for his hilarious and bonkers segment from V/H/S/94, Terror, which tells the story of a group of white supremacists who try to use a vampire to attack the government with deeply disturbing results. Night Patrol is about an LAPD officer with ties to a housing project in South LA, who finds that a mysterious LAPD squad is filled with monsters who take out anyone who challenges their authority and who only operate at night. It stars Jermaine Fowler (The Blackening), Justin Long (Barbarian), RJ Cyler (The Harder They Fall), Freddie Gibbs (Down With the King), CM Punk (Girl on the Third Floor), YG (White Boy Rick), Flying Lotus (Ash), Dermot Mulroney (Scream VI),  and Nicki Micheaux (The Shield).

HBO Max has the debut of Bryan Fuller's Dust Bunny and seven films from the Alien franchise, including Alien vs Predator.  Screambox has the found footage terror of Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum and the super bloody South Korean film, Project Wolf Hunting, that pits a group of vicious killers against the police, and then the police find the real monsters onboard.  Paramount+ has six of the Paranormal Activity movies, Lewis Teague's Stephen King adaptation, Cujo, and what is a candidate for Martin Scorsese's scariest film, Shutter Island. 

Peacock has the vampire-hunting goodness with all three of the Blade films and both of the Five Nights at Freddy‘s movies. MGM+ is releasing the fourth season of its hit series, From,  starring Harold Perrineau and Catalina Sandino Moreno on April 19. You know we couldn't resist announcing the show's return here. The heart-wrenching movie about one of the most faithful dogs in scary movies, Good Boy, comes to Hulu this month.

The Criterion Channel has director Bi Gan's Resurrection and the zombie film that started it all, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Crunchyroll is unleashing the body horror anime, based on the Japanese Manga, Dorohedoro (Season 2). The newest streaming service addition to this list, Bloodstream, from The Horror Collective, is a service that has two options: an ad-supported free plan and a paid plan with limited to no ads for $6.99 a month after a seven-day trial.

Bloodstream has thousands of titles available, including the movies new to the service this month: House of Screaming Glass, Denise Castro’s Dracula, and Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!. Many of the movies will be titles that are not commonly available on the mainstream services. Troma Now is serving up Poison for the Fairies, Baba Yaga, and Abruptio. There's also The Vampire Happening, which we have to admit sounds daffy and intriguing.
