The Best Horror Movies Streaming Now on Prime Video

Prime Video did not come to play with us this April. They are allowing some of you to catch up with last year’s movies by adding The Exorcist: Believer and Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. The streamer is also hitting the nostalgia button hard by adding 2005 titles like The Ring Two and White Noise. While the pickings are random, they weave a chaotic story I am here for. So, it was hard to choose just five titles this month. However, I did it, and I think I did a good job, if I do say so myself. Here is what I am planning to prioritize on the streamer this month.
Cloverfield (2008)
A small group of friends try to rescue one of their own as New York is being ravaged by a monster attack. I have been meaning to revisit this movie for years. I saw it a few times as a tween, but I want to rewatch it now that I am older and can fully appreciate how ambitious this film is. I also think it is time because we were not giving Lizzy Caplan enough respect when this movie came out. Her work in the genre in titles like Cobweb and Castle Rock has changed that, but we also need to retroactively give her flowers for her work in previous decades.
Eureka S1-S5 (2006)
A U.S. Marshal finds himself the sheriff of a remote Northwestern town where the government has scientists working on futuristic inventions. I somehow missed this Sci-fi Channel original when it originally aired. So, I am glad Prime Video is letting me binge all five seasons this spring. After all these years, I will finally know what Joe Morton gets up to in a show that looks like Eerie, Indiana for adults.
Fallout (2024)
A small group of survivors attempts to survive a futuristic post-apocalyptic Los Angeles filled with radiation, mutants, and other dangers. Even if you are not a fan of the popular Fallout video games, you are probably still kind of curious to see this live-action adaptation when it drops on the streamer this April 11. I am also just here to see Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Sarita Choudhury, Zach Cherry, and Matt Berry in this world. All of them are talented, but most have comedic backgrounds, so I need to know if this is funnier than we are expecting. Or if the funny folks are just tired of being typecast. Either way, Prime Video has my attention.
Red Eye (2005)
A woman sits next to a stranger on a flight who kidnaps her and threatens to murder her dad if she does not help him with an assassination scheme. Not only is this Wes Craven thriller fun in all the right ways, but it also has an unforgettable cast. Not only do we get Rachel McAdams, Cillian Murphy, and Brian Cox, but Kyle Gallner has a tiny role in one of his first films. I plan to revisit this chaotically charming moment and remember when we used to live in a society directed by Wes Craven.
The Stepford Wives (2004)
Suburban men decide that a robotic wife equals a happy life in this remake of the beloved classic. I love the idea of The Stepford Wives and will watch either version when given access. I would love to play in this world as a writer someday and am one of the people who enjoy this version. I’m here for the camp and the cast includes Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler, and Matthew Broderick. So, I will definitely be one of the people hitting play when it arrives on Prime Video this month.
