When a vicious underwater creature emerges from the Han River, the monster snatches Gang-du’s daughter and flees, but only after unleashing a massive rampage, attacking and killing many. Our story follows a desperate family, led by patriarch Hee-bong (Byun Hee-bong) and his son, Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho). We’ve also put together guides to the best horror movies on Netflix and the best horror movies on Amazon Prime Video.Ī couple of years before the first of many Cloverfield films, Oscar alum Bong Joon Ho’s The Host fed some much-needed life into the neglected monster genre. Hulu isn’t the only streaming platform with horror titles on demand. Read on to see what chills best match your appetite.

If you’re a huge fan of the genre like we are, and you have a Hulu subscription (or are thinking of getting one), you’ll be glad to know that we’ve handpicked all of the best horror movies on Hulu right now. And guess what? Hulu is home to all of these amalgamated mutants. With elevated horror-meets-art-house flicks like Hereditary and The Lighthouse to propulsive horror-comedies like Spontaneous and Cabin in the Woods, horror crosses all boundaries, all the time. Once considered a laughable genre, the “scary movie” has evolved from its expressionistic roots through the almost vaudevillian sensibilities of William Castle’s gimmicky horror titles and into today’s territory - a Pandora’s box of everything.

Horror cinema has been with us since the dawn of filmmaking.
