The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Netflix

Last updated: July 5, 2024

The Netflix genre offerings seem skimpy at first glance this July. However, it is because they are giving us more bang for our buck this month via series and franchises. The streamer is adding titles like Star Trek: Prodigy: Season 2, the Back to the Future trilogy, and Sam Raimi’s Spider-man trilogy. These will take up so many hours that we might not have the bandwidth to check out titles like American Psycho, Jigsaw, and Zombieland. Because this app is really trying to suck up our time this month, it made it hard to select the five titles I think are most deserving of our attention. However, I like challenges, and I feel I did a decent job. 

Check out my top Netflix picks this month. 

Elite: Season 8

Working-class teenagers clash with wealthy students after they begin attending an exclusive private school in Spain. I started watching this series to fill my show hole after finally watching Skins (UK) earlier this year. However, Elite is not a rebound title, as it is its own brand of chaotic and deadly shenanigans. I am still in season two, but I am happy to see another season will be waiting for me on the other side of this murderous mess. Season 8 hits Netflix on July 26 if you are already caught up.

Kleo: Season 2

Kleo’s hunt for the red suitcase gets more complicated as the CIA and KGB are also searching for it now. I meant to watch the first season of this series and got distracted, as one does. So, I love that the second season is hitting Netflix on July 25. This is a very strong reminder to hit play already. It’s also nice to have the next season basically waiting on me when I finish binging season one. It’s like a little streaming treat for being late to a party.

Lost

The survivors of a plane crash must work together to survive the island they are stranded on. Netflix casually adding all six seasons of this wildly popular show is a mood. It’s hard to not remember the excitement that surrounded this series during its original era. The nostalgia is strong, and I am even wondering if I have healed enough to finally finish the last couple of seasons. Whether you’re watching for the first time, or just revisiting while we wait for the next season of Harold Perrineau’s newest show From, happy viewing!  

Unsolved Mysteries: Volume 4

The newest installment of the beloved popular series is back on July 31. We can expect more of the unexplainable, bizarre, paranormal, and spooky cases that kept us up all those nights as children. Very few shows have ever reached the chilling heights of this property, and I’m so happy they’re back with more nightmare fuel this month.

Vanished into the Night

A man going through a difficult divorce process goes to great lengths to find his children who have disappeared from their country home. Vanished into the Night (original title: Septimo) seems like the kind of creepy suspense movie I can get behind. Who doesn’t love a good Italian thriller? I’m excited to catch this 2024 title and see if it lives up to the upsetting vibes the artwork is giving. The movie hits Netflix on July 11, and I know what I’ll be watching that weekend.
