Some of the best, yet lesser known, horror movies currently streaming on Tubi
No, I’m not on Tubi’s payroll. I just appreciate the streaming platform because it has a seemingly endless collection of horror movies. Whether you want to watch an indie or a classic, there is something for everyone. And of course, part of the appeal is that it’s free (with ads). Since I started this list 5+ years ago, Tubi has become a very popular service, and still remains one of the best for horror.
For this list, I’ve restricted it to movies under 5k views on Letterboxd. This is to help lesser known, independent, and underrated films to get a wider audience. They’re all movies I personally enjoy, and I hope you check them out and get some entertainment out of them too!
1. Roh
Cut off from civilisation, a single mother puts her children on high alert when they bring home a young girl caked in clay. She tells of spirits and spirit hunters, but these are not mere superstitions. As more strangers show up on her doorstep, she quickly finds another reason to fear the forest.
Why Watch: Malaysian horror film that’s atmospheric and creepy.
2. Knuckleball
Alone, and targeted on an isolated farm, 12 year old Henry finds himself at the center of a maelstrom of terror, and a dark family legacy, when his secretive grandfather dies suddenly in the night.
Why Buy: Winter horror set mostly in one location. Think Home Alone, but no comedy only horror.
3. Bloodthirsty
When indie singer Grey struggles to write her sophomore album, she teams up with a mysterious producer at his secluded cabin. Though their bond strengthens her music, it also starts to irreparably alter Grey’s body and mind.
Why Watch: Queer werewolf body horror!
4. The Droving
A man returns from the military in search for his lost sister, who mysteriously went missing around the time of a strange traditional festival. .
Why Watch: Gorgeously shot, moody folk horror vibes.
5. Out of the Dark
A deranged killer wearing a clown mask begins preying on a group of young women working at a phone-sex company.
Why Watch: For a premise that could have been exceptionally sleazy, this is a surprisingly well done horror about sex workers being slashed.
These 5 horror films currently streaming on Tubi were chosen by me, and all opinions are my own. The synopsis for each film is from Letterboxd. If you’re on Letterboxd, feel free to add me.
