The Best Horror Movies Now Streaming On Max
Last Updated: July 2, 2024
Max (formerly HBOMax) has quite a few strong contenders this month. They are coming in with a bang via Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which just left theaters. The film hits the app on July 4, so there will be genre fireworks this year after all. They are also letting subscribers watch the first 7 Saw movies. So, while it is not the large haul we had gotten used to, there is plenty to keep us glued to the tube on this streamer this month. I even found five movies that made me cancel some of my weekend plans. Check out my weird picks and see if they also warm the cockles of your heart!
A Most Wanted Man (2014)
A man illegally immigrates to Hamburg and gets caught up in the international war on terror. I am a huge Philip Seymour Hoffman and am always sad that this was his last leading role before his untimely death. If you are looking for a thriller or want a movie to watch on July 23, which would have been his 57th birthday, I highly suggest you check it out too. This stacked cast includes Willem Dafoe, Robin Wright, Rachel McAdams, and Daniel Brühl.
The Eyes of My Mother (2016)
A woman raised to be unfazed by death finds her trauma awakening strange habits. This black-and-white horror movie was an event! I will always shout it out if I catch it streaming in a place without commercials. Many of us were late to the party, and it is our job to tell the people who still have not seen it what an unsettling ride this film is. Please catch it while it is on Max this month.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
A journalist searching for a woman who has been missing for 40 years finds help in a young computer hacker. I was here for Lisbeth Salander and was bummed the sequels never happened. I read the entire trilogy one summer and was ready to see it all unfold on screen. However, that was five lifetimes ago, so I owe this movie a rewatch. I am excited to see if this is still one of my favorite movies directed by David Fincher. Or if nostalgia has been beating my ass this whole time.
Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
A gym manager falls for a bodybuilder passing through town. I missed this movie in theaters and have been sad about it. So, I am happy Max is bringing Rose Glass’ second A24 film to the masses. You might remember the name because Glass is the filmmaker behind Saint Maud. The cast includes Anna Baryshnikov, Kristen Stewart, and Dave Franco. I am excited to see it and finally check out my friends’ reviews for the film. It hits the streamer on July 19, so my wait is almost over.
Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? (1966)
An old and angry couple force young people to watch them inflict emotional pain on each other throughout an eventful evening. Because I was a theater kid, I have seen so many scenes from this movie, and I have even worked on shows at storefront theaters inspired by the film. However, I have never actually seen it. So, I feel like it is time to fix that and stop living a lie. I want to see what Elizabeth Taylor, George Segal, and the old Hollywood squad were getting up to. I am happy Max is coming through for me once again.
