Top Horror Movies Streaming This Week

The newest film in the Scream franchise, which is the series' original writer, Kevin Williamson's first time in the director's chair, has climbed to number one this week. According to the director, it is likely his last time as a director in the series, as per an interview with Hello Sidney. The seventh movie in the series brought Neve Campbell's Sydney Prescott back as the focus of the story alongside returning cast members, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, and Courteney Cox.

The seventh scary movie added a large number of new cast members, including Isabel May, Anna Camp, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, McKenna Grace, Asa Germann, Celeste O'Connor, Sam Rechner, Mark Consuelos, Tim Simons, and Joel McHale. The box office numbers were good, so Scream 8 is going forward despite less than a less-than-glowing critical reception.

Scream 7 is now streaming on Paramount+.

2025 was the year that writer and director Osgood Perkins released not one, but two new films, both of which starred Tatiana Maslany.  Keeper is the second film, which just hit streaming in early June. The film also stars Rossif Sutherland, Birkett Turton, and Eden Weiss, and was written by Nick Lepard, who also wrote the survival horror movie, Dangerous Animals.

In Keeper, a couple goes on a romantic trip to a cabin on their anniversary. As we all know, trips to a cabin in the woods rarely turn out well in fright films, and the couple soon witnesses strange phenomena and slowly becomes aware that a dangerous entity has focused on them.  The terror begins as the cabin's past starts to reveal itself, and things get stranger as the past comes back to roost.

Keeper is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

The adaptation of Stephen King's Bachman Books novel, The Long Walk, was directed by filmmaker Francis Lawrence and written by JT Mollner. It has again improved its standing on this week's top horror movies streaming list after last week, when it came in at number 6, and has now risen to the third spot. The film has performed this feat and stayed in the top ten while only being streamed on Starz since it was quietly released to streaming on January 10.

While it wasn't a blockbuster, the film cost $20 million to make, and after grossing $63 million in theaters, it officially broke even. It is a critical success that won an important award at the Independent Spirit Awards and made what is a very difficult premise to film emotionally engrossing and heartbreaking, with the stellar cast consisting of Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Joshua Odjick, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Josh Hamilton, Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill.

The Long Walk is now streaming on Starz.

For the second week in a row, Psycho Killer remains in the top ten and has risen a notch to number 4 on the list. The film stars Georgina Campbell, the stalwart heroine of Barbarian, James Preston Rogers, and iconic actor Malcolm McDowell. Campbell is a police officer tracking the “Satanic Slasher” after the brutal murder of her husband, who is also a law enforcement officer.

While the critical response to the film was not the best, Campbell was again praised for her work in the movie, after getting great notices for her turn in Barbarian. Psycho Killer was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, who is best known as the screenwriter of David Fincher's Seven.

Psycho Killer is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

Kate Bosworth (House of Darkness), Martin McCann, Lucien Laviscount, and Thomas Kretschmann (Blade II, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels) star in Last Sentinel, which tells the story of a group of soldiers stuck on a military base, in an endless ocean, after a climate apocalypse in 2063.

The soldiers await a relief ship, which is overdue. When a ship finally arrives, it isn't what was promised. Only two countries remain on Earth, and they are at war; the soldiers have no idea if the war continues or if humanity is lost. Last Sentinel was directed by Estonian director Tanel Toom and written by Malachi Smyth.

Last Sentinel is now streaming on Prime.

Daisy Ridley, Mark Coles Smith, and Brenton Thwaites star in Australian writer and director Zak Hilditch's different vision of the zombie apocalypse. In the film, after the accidental destruction of the city of Hobart by the government of the United States, those who didn't die were rendered brain-dead. Some of the brain-dead victims come back to life and attack other humans for unknown reasons.

The title refers to volunteer squads who sign up to help bury the dead, and Ava Newman (Ridley) joins to try to find her missing husband. Hilditch also directed the horror film Rattlesnake. We Bury the Dead premiered at the South By Southwest Film Festival in March 2026.

We Bury the Dead is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Nia Da Costa-directed, Alex Garland-written sequel to 28 Years Later, the second part of a new trilogy, has officially been in the top ten for nine weeks. It briefly dropped from the list during the week of May 4, but has remained ever since for just over two months on the countdown.  It is also the second movie on the list that involves Satanists, but it has more Iron Maiden than the other film.

Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry star in this continuation of the coming-of-age story of Spike that involves a doctor who begins to believe that the rage-infected are evolving and builds a huge memento mori to the dead of the virus and a dangerous group of Satanists who model themselves on Jimmy Savile, the disgraced sexual predator, led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, who was a young child who fled an attack of the infected and became a murderous, yet charismatic psychopath.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is now streaming on Netflix.

After a week out of the top ten, Zach Cregger's Weapons has returned. Recently, Cregger, who is a writer and director who formerly worked in sketch comedy, made a recommendation to writers who felt stuck while trying to write a script.

In an interview with Room 243 Productions, he said that the most valuable advice he was ever given was an imaginative process he called “elfing,” where the writer imagines that they hired an elf to write the script and expects that the draft will be terrible because the elf isn't very good, giving the writer permission to write without judging the quality of the draft.

Cregger has written and directed three films in four years: Barbarian, Weapons, and Resident Evil. Weapons, which stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Toby Huss, Benedict Wong, and Academy Award winner Amy Madigan, did really well critically, at the box office, and was nominated for a Writers' Guild of America award for best screenplay.

Weapons is now streaming on HBO Max and Prime.

Beth Hanna and Jerren Lauder (The Inhabitant) directed this film about a young, ambitious woman who needs a scholarship to attend the college of her dreams and snags an invite to the exclusive “Heaven or Hell” party thrown by a Congressman's son to convince him to introduce her to his father so she can secure his recommendation.

McKaley Miller, Anne Heche, and Dermot Mulroney star in this film from 2023, which was recently added to Netflix on June 6. While the film hasn't been in the top ten before, it has done very well since becoming available on three streaming services.

You're Killing Me is now streaming on Hoopla, Netflix, and Prime.

Ryan Coogler's Sinners is a horror movie with bloodthirsty vampires attacking a newly opened juke joint founded by twin brothers. But one of the most remarkable things about it is that it is really about love: brotherly love, romantic love, and love of the Blues. Even Remmick, the master vampire, is motivated by love of his people, as he tries to steal the musical genius of Sammy to contact the spirits of his loved ones.

Sammy, who loves music more than he fears his father and religious condemnation, is saved by his beloved Blues and has success throughout his life because he trusts the source of his inspiration and the power of music. In Sinners, love wins over hate and fear.

Sinners is now streaming on HBO Max and Prime.
