Top Ten Horror Movies On Streaming This Week

Director Kenneth Branagh keeps the number one spot for the second week with the spooky Hercule Poirot mystery A Haunting in Venice. It's no slasher but something about it appeals to those who like horror films. It has ghosts, psychic mediums who can supposedly talk to the dead, people are impaled and poisoned. Sounds like horror to me! A Haunting in Venice also stars Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, and Michelle Yeoh.

Talk to Me has also refused to give up its spot in the top ten again for the fourth week in a row. While its actual position has changed, the movie remains on the list. This ghostly possession film about grief really hits home with a lot of people. It's got such a sense of joy until it stops being fun. Danny and Michael Philippou the twin co-directors put a lot of heart into this movie which is why it is not only a fan favorite but one of the best horror films of the year.

Another critical and horror fan favorite retains its position in the top ten.

Writer and director Ti West's sexy Texas slasher film has returned to the top ten after its release last year.

Nahnatchka Khan, who created the television series Fresh Off the Boat, also stars Olivia Holt and Julie Bowen. In the 80s, Jamie must convince the original victims and her mom to help her find the killer before it's too late.

Ari Aster's second feature, Midsommar, hit audiences just as hard as his first, Hereditary, did. Maybe even harder. But to see the film come back to the top ten after four years is both unsurprising and very welcome. Even after the release of his third film, Beau Is Afraid, it's nice to see that fans haven't forgotten about one of their favorites of the new millennium. Midsommar, which made Florence Pugh a star, also stars Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper, Vilhelm Blomgren, Will Poulter, and Björn Andrésen, who starred in Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice as a child with otherworldly beauty.

The tenth film in the Saw franchise is now the one with the best critical rating of all of the films in the series. Pretty great work for franchise that has been making films for almost twenty years. Saw X first came to streaming on October 20 and this is the film's reappearance on the chart after the week of October 23. Why is it so highly rated? Well, the film does bring back original stars and franchise favorites Tobin Bell as John Kramer and Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young. That fact might have a lot to do with the film's success.

For a film that only has five words spoken throughout its running time, No One Will Save You is doing great. This is its fourth week in a row in the top ten still with very little fanfare and mostly horror fans' word of mouth to keep it there. Kaitlyn Dever holds the film in the palm of her hand. It also stars Zack Duhame , Lauren Murray , Geraldine Singer, and Dane Rhodes.
