The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Hulu
Last Updated: December 4, 2024
Hulu is moving in mysterious ways this December. They are helping us catch up on recent titles like No Way Up, The Inheritance, and Darkness of Man. However, they are also going all in on the Twilight movies and adding the entire franchise. It is a chaotic little lineup that made me do a few double-takes. However, the app has plenty of gold spun around the confusing choices, so I am leaning in this month. I am just grateful a streamer is picking up so many 2023 and 2024 films that I have been trying to get my eyes on for months. So, without further adieu, let us get into the five things that have my undivided attention this month.
Check out my top picks on Hulu this December.
Amber Alert (dir. Kerry Bellessa)
A rideshare trip takes a turn when the driver and passenger receive an Amber Alert and then spot the kidnapper’s car with the girl in the backseat. That sounds cool and stressful enough for me to take it for a test drive. Plus, we have all had at least one wild rideshare experience at this point in our lives. So, it is about time the genre started to explore that more. After all, Spree was years ago, and films should follow in its footsteps and make people think about riding the bus again. However, I am also screaming at a cast that includes Hayden Panettiere, Tyler James Williams, and Kevin Dunn. Like most nerds, I am trying to cram all of the 2024 movies I missed into my eyeballs this month. So, this new thriller is landing on Hulu at the perfect time for me. I will be parked on the streamer when the movie pulls up on December 28.
Cuckoo (dir. Tilman Singer)
Gretchen is forced to leave America to live with her father’s new family. However, the resort they moved into is plagued by strange occurrences and harboring a shocking secret. Cuckoo is not just my favorite movie Neon put out this year, but it is also one of the coolest films of 2024. If you are looking for something incredibly bizarre, this is your film. Or maybe you just need another reason to love Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, and this is the universe doing you a solid. The film flies onto Hulu on December 17, and I cannot wait to see it again. This is one of the many titles I think about when people claim there are no original horror movies anymore. I guarantee you nothing marches to the beat of its own bass player like Cuckoo. Also, please let Schafer play more badass leads in the genre!
Coup! (dir. Joseph Schuman and Austin Stark)
A mischievous cook plots a revolt against the wealthy during the Spanish Flu of 1918. This 2023 comedic thriller has eluded me for so long I was starting to think I made it up. I think this movie may hit harder for people who felt like The Menu was missing an ingredient or two. I also expect a chaotic period piece, which feels like exactly what I need this winter. Whatever we are about to hit play on, we know Peter Sarsgaard (Orphan, September 5) is the lead of this dark comedy. He has a resume full of movies we love to talk about at the virtual water cooler. I am so excited to finally cross this title off my list on December 10. Shout out to Hulu for adding weird little gems I have been trying to track down for months.
Dead Sea (dir. Phil Volken)
A fatal ski accident leads to a group of friends getting stranded in the open sea. When they are finally rescued by a fishing vessel, they learn that the real danger is only just beginning. Again, I am trying to get my eyes on as many 2024 movies as possible. So, I will check out this thriller and hope it has a few surprises up its sleeves when it hits Hulu on December 6. I do not know what to expect, but I know I will board this ship with an open mind. I like to believe if nothing else, there will be a few watery deaths worth talking about. Wish me luck and respect my privacy if I am wrong. If you also decide to take the plunge, the movie was formerly called Flycatcher.
Speed (dir. Jan de Bont)
A young cop tries to stop a madman from blowing up a city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph. Surprise! A movie older than a couple of years made it onto this list. How can I resist this pulse-pounding moment from my childhood? This 1994 boost of adrenaline stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, and Sandra Bullock. So, I never stood a chance and had no choice but to love it. I really appreciated this as a kid because Bullock mostly did rom-coms. So, whenever she appeared in a thriller, it made me happy because it felt like a sign she was cooler than I gave her credit for. More importantly, if watching Reeves ride a speeding bus through Los Angeles does not put you in the holiday spirit, nothing will. ‘Tis the season indeed, friends!
