5 Innovative Horror Movies to Watch Now - Netflix Tudum
Talk of Zach Cregger’s sophomore feature Weapons spread like a parasite across social media — infiltrating our virtual watercoolers and infecting us with straight-up nightmares. If you’re looking for more horror films that will inspire you to cover your eyes in new and interesting ways, check out these innovative and buzzy horror movies streaming on Netflix now.
Creep
The 2014 found-footage horror film Creep, starring Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice, follows videographer Aaron (Brice), who’s tasked with filming Josef (Duplass). Josef’s been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and wants the footage so that his unborn son can get to know him after he dies. But Josef, of course, is not what he seems. The film, directed by Brice, spawned a 2017 sequel, Creep 2, and a 2024 television series, The Creep Tapes.
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
Director Osgood “Oz” Perkins has become a household name in the horror genre, with films like Longlegs and The Monkey. One of his earlier films, 2016’s I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, is a fresh take on Gothic supernatural horror. Ruth Wilson (Luther) stars as Lily, a nurse who moves into a secluded home to care for Iris (Paula Prentiss), a retired horror writer. As strange occurrences happen around her, Lily begins to suspect that this house might have ghastly secrets.
El Conde
Acclaimed director Pablo Larraín is best known for his trilogy of films chronicling the inner lives of famous women: Jackie, Spencer, and Maria. Larraín also lent his hand to the 2023 horror comedy El Conde. The satire film portrays the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as a 250-year-old vampire named El Conde (Jaime Vadell) with a death wish — because he’s fed up with everyone thinking he’s a bad guy. The film, shot in black and white, earned an Oscar nomination in 2024 for Best Cinematography.
