The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Paramount+
Last updated: July 5, 2024
Paramount+ is here for the genre kids this month. They are adding 10 Star Trek films, The Running Man, and Total Recall. This is also the summer of Hannibal, as the streamer is adding The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal Rising this month. We should all be sure we spend time with the most infamous cannibal in the literary world. The app is also reopening the schools long enough to let the kids watch classics like Sunset Boulevard. With all of this content hitting Paramount+ it is a miracle I managed to narrow my focus down to just five movies this July. However, I made some bold choices, and I’m excited to share them below!
Copycat
An agoraphobic psychologist and a detective hunt a copycat serial killer. As a kid of the 90s, this is one of the thrillers that made me see the value of the genre. This cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter, Dermot Mulroney, Harry Connick Jr., and Will Patton. I thought it was cinema then, and I feel it’s still a pretty amazing gem from that era. I’m really happy it has landed on Paramount+ for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
Drag Me to Hell
A loan officer finds herself cursed after evicting an older woman. We love a movie about a supernatural curse, and we love Sam Raimi films. So, this was already winning even before Alison Lohman and Justin Long joined the cast. This is such a fun little hellish treat. I cannot wait to revisit it this month and invite some of the good kind of chaos into my life.
The East
An operative for an elite private intelligence firm infiltrates an anarchist and begins to rethink what they thought they knew. I want to be anywhere Alexander Skarsgård, Elliot Page, and Patricia Clarkson are. So, this 2013 thriller is at the top of my watchlist this month. I somehow missed this one and am glad that Paramount+ is bringing it to my attention so I can correct that huge oversight.
Martha Marcy May Marlene
A woman suffering from increasing paranoia tries to reconnect with her family after leaving an abusive cult. They had my attention when I saw Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, and John Hawkes on the cast list. This gem from 2011 is just the kind of mystery I need on my TV this summer. I’m grateful Paramount+ understands the assignment this July.
Set It Off: Director’s Cut
Four women plan a bank robbery that ends in a violent tragedy. I watched the theatrical version of this movie as a kid and am geeking out that the Director’s Cut is now streaming. If you haven’t seen this cinematic moment, please fix it this month. This movie stars Jada Pinkett-Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise. It was a moment in 1996, and it is still a moment today.
