The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Hulu

Hulu is getting spicy this April. To help us shake off the winter sadness, they have compiled a very impressive list of genre titles to help us stay inside this spring. The streamer is dipping its toes into the water with The Meg. They are giving us the Patrick Wilson-led thriller A Kind Of Murder. They even have a movie fresh out of SXSW called The Greatest Hits hitting the platform this month. While that one is way more heavy on romance than the time travel, I know some of you will have a better time with it than I did. Whatever you are into, the app has you covered. This is why I am high-key excited to show you what titles I am most excited to see this month.
Check out my list below, and let us compare notes.
Blood Free
A former bodyguard is hired to protect the CEO of an artificially cultured meat company. As someone who has eaten their fair share of fast food and hot dogs, I know artificially cultured meat is a weird phrase. So, I am already nervous and assuming this show is serving some capitalist cannibalism like Fresh did. Whatever the people are eating is sus, and I am ready to go on this ride. I love Korean thrillers, and this one is primed to be one of my favorites of the year. The first two episodes hit Hulu on April 10, and I cannot wait. Blood Free (original title Jibaejong) is also known as Dominant Species.
Lord of Misrule
A priest searching for her missing daughter uncovers a town’s dark history. Because everyone seems to be in their religious horror era (Immaculate and The First Omen might be partly to blame for that), this is a great time to sneak this title onto a streamer. This movie has been on my radar forever because my girl, Tuppence Middleton (Sense8 and Possessor), seems to be the lead. However, when I found out William Brent Bell (The Boy and Orphan: First Kill) directed it, it flew to the top of my list. So, I am grateful Hulu is finally letting me see it as I continue playing catch-up with 2023’s horror movies.
The Host
A family battles a huge monster after it emerges from Seoul’s Han River and goes on a rampage. If you have not seen this South Korean horror sci-fi epic, then you are in for a treat. It was also directed and co-written by the brilliant Bong Joon Ho (Okja and Parasite), and the cast includes the badass Bae Doona (Sense8 and Kingdom). I was late to The Host, but I am now here to tell you this is the kind of blockbuster shenanigans I love to see. Revisiting this title while it is streaming on Hulu is a top priority this month.
Under the Bridge
This harrowing series is about the murder of Reena Virk, a fourteen-year-old girl who went to a party and never returned home in 1997. This tragic story is being told as a miniseries based on Rebecca Godfrey’s book of the same name. The cast is led by Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone (The Unknown Country and Fancy Dance) and Riley Keough (The Lodge and War Pony). The first two episodes land on the streamer on April 17, with new episodes coming out every Wednesday. I usually avoid shows based on true crimes, but I plan to try this one and see how they handle this story.
Wonderful World
A woman’s quest for revenge after her son is denied justice sets her on a path to helping others in similar situations. The only thing better than a Korean thriller is a Korean thriller about revenge. As someone motivated by spite, I relate to these stories on many levels. Also, I will always want to see more women in the genre getting mad and even. Hulu is giving us the complete first season on April 24, and I am going to need three business days to binge it all. If it is half as good as it looks, it is going to be a damn good time.
