Summer is full to the brim with terror and gruesome games among the best new horror movies to stream at home. While you might expect that streaming services might be concentrating on summer escapism, there are lots of movies premiering in July and a plethora of repertory titles for the horror-loving home audience. Seriously, there are so many movies, particularly on the new-ish service, Bloodstream.
Netflix has a strong showing with The Exorcism, Talk to Me, and the first three movies in the Scream franchise. While none of these movies are brand new, they are quality films that aren't constantly on streaming. The Exorcism is perhaps the least known of the three, but it does have one of our greatest acting talents, Russell Crowe, in it, and Crowe never does anything halfway. It is a more serious version of the subject, but if you've seen Crowe's other exorcism film, The Pope's Exorcist, Crowe always makes a film worth watching. The movie was directed by Joshua John Miller, who is the son of The Exorcist star Jason Miller.
Arrow has one choice, but it is a wild one. Cruel Jaws comes courtesy of Italian director Bruno Mattei, two decades after the release of Steven Spielberg's Jaws, which it is obviously modeled on. Ahem. It simply has to be seen to be believed, and while it isn't really a great film, it is entertaining. Prime has got you covered with Primate, World War Z, and Luca Guadagnino's elegiac road trip love story, Bones and All, which combines young love and the terror of being a monster, through no fault of your own.
Shudder has the big guns, with the premiere of Daniel Goldhaber and Iza Mazzei's gutsy and gory reimagining of the cult classic, Faces of Death, a goopy, co-dependent, intergalactic love story, Touch Me, and the adaptation of the video game, Exit 8, about a man trapped in a time loop who must figure out why he is there before he can escape. The specialty horror streaming service also has three other premieres, a solid list of repertory titles like Dead Snow, Amer, and The Outwaters, and last, but definitely not least, three watch parties, including “Joe Bob’s Savage Summer”, a special that has two transgressive offerings, including an infamous “Video Nasty.” Oh man, this is going to be great.
HBO Max is packed with films for the fans of the Evil Dead series and the first appearance of Francis Lawrence's adaptation of the Bachman book, The Long Walk. Yes, you will finally be able to watch the heartbreaking film at home if you don't have Starz, where the film has been streaming exclusively until now. Streaming the first four films in the Evil Dead series is a great idea for the month when the newest film in the franchise, Evil Dead Burn, will be released on July 10. Screambox brings you Revenge of the Living Dead Girls, a French rubber mask zombie tale of toxic wastes and deadly corpses, and the cult classic, Curtains, which has another rubber mask, but this time on a serial killer haunting a remote mansion.
Paramount+ is taking the moment to bring back Gore Verbinski's remake of The Ring, which has a beautifully scary performance by the late Daveigh Chase as Samara. The other choices are Carriers, about two brothers trying to escape a deadly pandemic, the serial killer shocker Nightwatch, and the giant worm horror comedy Tremors. Peacock has chosen great white sharks, with the first three movies in the Jaws series and David Fincher's Seven. Hulu only has one horror movie, but what a horror movie it is. The streamer will host the premiere of the sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.
Bloodstream has really gone all out this month, with 196 titles added to the service. They do have the exclusive premiere of director Ama Lea's Slashercise, where fitness leads to death. Lea is one of the owners of Killer Fitness in Los Angeles, where exercise classes meet horror screenings. Bloodstream is slowly bringing the entire Severin Films streaming library to its service and is also offering many themed categories like Amityville What?, Summer Camp, and Exploitation.
