Horror has always thrived on the idea that something terrible could happen right under your nose. But every now and then, a film comes along that doesn’t just scare you, it unsettles you in ways you can’t shake. That’s where Weapons lands. The new release has critics buzzing and audiences squirming, not with cheap shocks but with a slow, gnawing terror. One classroom. One survivor. The rest, gone without a trace. It’s the kind of premise that makes you stare at the screen long after the credits roll, wondering what you just witnessed. Which brings us here: thirteen films so unnerving, you’ll want someone else in the room just to prove you’re not imagining things.
13 Horror Movies You Should Watch on Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar And More
Late Night with the Devil
Where to watch: Lionsgate Play
Jack Delroy is a late-night talk show host who thinks he’s pulling a ratings stunt by inviting a medium and a cult survivor onto his Halloween broadcast. Instead, he drags live television straight into hell. Found-footage meets possession, wrapped in 70s neon sleaze.
Weapons
Where to watch: Theatres
The film of the moment. A whole classroom disappears except for one child, and the small-town panic spirals into something darker. Part mystery, part cosmic dread, all nightmare fuel.
Oddity
Where to watch: Prime Video
A year after her twin’s brutal murder, Darcy returns to the estate with her psychic instincts and a collection of cursed objects. Revenge, grief, and the kind of dread you can’t exorcise.
Together
Where to watch: TBD
Couples therapy by way of the countryside and a skin-crawling supernatural presence. Domestic unease mutates into body horror, and love turns into something grotesque.
Heretic
Where to watch: Prime Video
Two missionaries knock on the wrong door. Mr. Reed answers, and what follows is a chamber piece of psychological torment, faith-testing terror, and cat-and-mouse horror done to perfection.
The Devil’s Bath
Where to watch: TBD
Set in 1750, this one trades jump scares for suffocating despair. Agnes, trapped in her husband’s rigid world, spirals toward an unthinkable act. Historical horror that is more harrowing than supernatural.
The Substance
Where to watch: Prime Video
Demi Moore reinvents herself in this grotesque parable about beauty, vanity, and control. Injecting a serum that promises a better version of yourself is one thing. Watching it crawl out of you is another.
The First Omen
Where to watch: JioHotstar
A prequel that actually works. A young woman unravels a Vatican conspiracy to literally give birth to evil. It’s stylish, creepy, and enough to make you side-eye priests for a while.
Things Will Be Different
Where to watch: Prime Video (rent)
Two siblings on the run hide out in a farmhouse that bends time itself. What starts as a crime thriller collapses into a nightmarish puzzle where cause and effect lose all meaning.
Heart Eyes
Where to watch: Prime Video (rent)
A Valentine’s Day slasher with a glowing-eyed killer who comes back every year to butcher couples. Cheesy? Yes. Bloody? Absolutely. The kills will have you clutching your chest.
It’s What’s Inside
Where to watch: Netflix
A group of college friends gather for a pre-wedding reunion, only for an unexpected guest and their mysterious suitcase to unravel the group from the inside. It’s The Big Chill by way of psychological warfare.
Cuckoo
Where to watch: JioHotstar
Teen girl. German Alps. Family secrets. Bloody hallucinations. It sounds familiar until it isn’t. This is folk-horror dressed as a coming-of-age tale, and it is vicious.
In a Violent Nature
Where to watch: Prime Video
A slasher flipped on its head. Shot almost entirely from the killer’s perspective, the film follows a resurrected corpse on a methodical, brutal rampage. It’s slow, cruel, and unforgettable.
