Top 3 Horror Movies to Enjoy on Hulu and HBO Max This January 2026
As the Halloween season fades, streaming platforms still offer a solid selection of horror films for fans seeking chills. January brings a mix of contemporary releases alongside classic titles that have stood the test of time.
This month, notable picks include a horror comedy, a sci-fi/horror film, and a nostalgic thriller, showcasing a diverse range of the genre’s offerings.
‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ (2022)
In the horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies, Pete Davidson portrays David, who hosts a hurricane party at a remote estate. The gathering primarily comprises affluent young adults, with one outsider among them—Bee, played by Maria Bakalova. Despite being in a relationship with one of the wealthy guests, Sophie (Amandla Stenberg), Bee feels out of place.
During the film, the characters engage in a murder mystery game to pass the time while a storm rages outside. What starts as a light-hearted activity takes a grim turn when one attendee is found dead. As panic sets in, distrust mounts, and it becomes a race to uncover the killer within their midst. Bee struggles to discern whom she can rely on, particularly as her faith in Sophie falters.
Bodies Bodies Bodies is available for streaming on HBO Max.
‘Event Horizon’ (1997)
The cult classic sci-fi/horror film Event Horizon makes a reappearance this month, a title that initially flew under the radar but gained a dedicated fan base over the years. Laurence Fishburne stars as S.J. Miller, captain of the starship Lewis and Clark.
The plot revolves around the recovery of the Event Horizon, an experimental spacecraft that vanished years earlier. Responding to a distress signal, the crew discovers that something sinister has followed the ship back—an unspeakable evil that threatens their sanity. As fear escalates, the crew finds themselves ensnared in a nightmare, battling the malevolent force that once lay dormant.
Event Horizon is currently streaming on Paramount+.
‘It Feeds’ (2025)
The upcoming horror film It Feeds presents a chilling narrative that diverges from its similarly named predecessor, It Follows. Ashley Greene stars as Cynthia Winstone, a woman with genuine psychic abilities that allow her to delve into the minds of others. Her latest vision of a young girl, Riley Harris (Shayelin Martin), reveals a dark entity preying on her.
Riley’s father, Randall (Shawn Ashmore), proves to be an obstacle rather than support, while Cynthia’s daughter, Jordan (Ellie O’Brien), is determined to aid Riley, despite her mother’s warnings. As they confront the supernatural threat, Cynthia faces a force more powerful than she has encountered before, raising the stakes for her family’s safety.
It Feeds is available for streaming on Hulu.
