The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Prime Video

Last Updated: July 3, 2024

Prime Video is adding old and new favorite horror movies like they are going out of style this July. Subscribers can watch movies like Event Horizon and Lisa Frankenstein in one place. If you are closer to the intersection of Taxi Driver and No Country for Old Men, the streamer also has you covered this month. This app is going all out and even adding six of the original Star Trek films to ensure there really is something for everyone. It is a fun lineup this month, and it made my job of finding only five titles to highlight difficult. However, I did it and hope you enjoy these picks as much as I will.

The Bone Collector

A quadriplegic ex-homicide detective tracks down a serial killer with the help of his partner. The 90s really gave us a thriller starring Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, and Queen Latifah. Kids today will never understand what they missed out on. This was also the movie that proved Denzel could give an outstanding performance from a gurney. He is unstoppable, and I cannot wait to watch this movie for the billionth time. 

Cruel Intentions

Two spoiled step-siblings plot to deflower and humiliate the headmaster’s daughter at their elite prep school. This romantic thriller was heavy on romance and aimed for very different thrills than we usually come here for. However, the stacked cast led by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon changed most of my generation’s brain chemistry. I doubt I am the only person who will revisit this chaotic gem while it’s on Prime Video this month. 

Evil Dead Rise

Two estranged sisters’ reunion is cut short when flesh-possessing demons arrive and terrorize their family in an apartment building. This pick goes out to all the Deadites! I really enjoyed Lee Cronin’s entry into this beloved franchise, and it was one of my favorite movies of last year. So, I am very much looking forward to rewatching it so that I can feel alive again. I highly recommend you also take advantage of its time on Prime Video.

Hannibal

An FBI criminal profiler develops a relationship with a psychiatrist named Hannibal Lecter. These three seasons were not enough, which the rabid Hannibal fan base has been saying for years. If you have not caught this Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen murder and food-fueled affair, then you need to fix that immediately. This show is forever moving around the streaming services, so you should hurry! Personally, I need to finish the third season while I can do it ad-free because I have been on hold for far too long.

The Silence Of The Lambs

An FBI cadet receives help from the incarcerated cannibal, Hannibal Lecter, to catch a serial killer who skins his victims. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins reset the culture with this Jonathan Demme flick. It’s arguably the best thriller to come out of the 90s and also pairs nicely with some “fava beans and a nice chianti”. It also is fun to watch after watching the Hannibal series for obvious cannibal reasons. I can’t think of a better bad guy to spend time with during barbecue season.
