The streaming revolution is a boon to the consumer, but it comes at a steep price.
Most of them cannot afford to subscribe to every new and existing platform. This leaves a crush of alternatives, which offer movies and TV shows for free – in one simple take. You’ll have to put up with commercials along the way, just like TV of the past.
Pads like Tubi make it easier to swallow pills.
The commercials on the free streaming service are modest and short. This leaves more time to enjoy your special offer. Horror lovers have an added bonus. Tubi offers both classic fare and newer desserts. Consider this list of the best horror movies on Tubi the next time you need to get scared.
Just be careful. Tubi offers a piece of ground From horror titles to choose from.
“Jeepers Creepers”
There’s a reason this 2001 movie spawned multiple sequels. The film follows a pair of quarrelsome siblings (Justin Long, Jenna Phillips) whose car is nearly off the road by a raging truck driver. The two continued crashing into that truck, then its driver discovered what appeared to be bodies in a half-buried pipe.
Their investigation implicates them in the creeping plans, part of a demonic murder cycle. Warning: The ending of the movie is disappointing, but everything up to that point, including the title character, is worth your time.
“the descent”
Director Neil Marshall continues his thriller Lo-fi 2002 “dog soldiers” With this classic moment.
Six strong and independent women challenge themselves by exploring an unknown condition. They are armed to the teeth with the best climbing gear around and fit enough to take on almost any challenge. But they had never expected to find dozens of milky white creatures thirsting for their bodies.
The 2005 movie has it all – intriguing characters, great hands-on effects, colossal fears and surprises at every turn. It holds up for repeat views too, and while the sequel isn’t quite as good as the original, it’s well worth a watch.
“slid”
Horror comedy works best with actors who are smart enough to handle both genres. That’s exactly what director James Gunn collected at the 2006 Spots Festival. Think Michael Rucker, Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, and Jenna Fisher.
Just be careful. Gunn is not afraid to escalate blood, blood and only disgusting foreign currencies. We later learned about his sense of humor from The Suicide Squad. Here, he’s drowning in excess type while letting us joke.
“frozen”
Leave any thoughts on Olaf the Snowman. “Frozen” follows three skiers who are abandoned at the top of an elevator due to a tragic set of misunderstandings. Can they figure out a way down before they freeze and/or starve to death?
This setup limits the storytelling hardware to the gameplay, but the hard cast lets you step into the characters’ shoes for an excruciating 90 minutes. The question you can’t help but ask? What would you do to save yourself in this situation?
“P2”
This underrated gem finds a young woman (Rachel Nichols) working late on Christmas Eve. She plans to make the most of what’s left of the nightfall when she finds herself alone in the parking lot of her building.
the worst? The situation worker (Wes Bentley) has been watching her for some time and believes tonight is the night to introduce himself – by any means necessary.
The thriller builds on our collective fears of late-night parking and on the vulnerability many women face in the workplace.
“Train to Busan”
It’s just the best horror movie since “28 Days Later”, even if sequel It proved to be one of the biggest failures in recent memory.
A father and daughter board a train bound for his estranged wife’s home, but a zombie outbreak interrupts their reunion. There is a dash of progressive commentary here, but nothing can distract from the following fully calibrated shocks.
It seems that this kind of zombie is being played these days, see recent installments targeting humor, descriptive commentary, and even romance. This old school zombie festival will never go out of style.
“Texas Chainsaw Massacre”
the one. the original. ‘Naff said.
Takeover by Deborah Logan / Willow Creek
The unofficial terrifying footage found began with the 1999 movie “The Blair Witch Project.” The staggering success of the movie sparked a series of horrific follow-ups. Two big exceptions -“willow creekand “The Take of Deborah Logan” – can be found on Tubi.
Finds the former director Bobcat Goldthwaite Find Sasquatch by squashed couple. The dialogue is much better than most found footage features, and the third chapter delivers exactly the kind of horror we crave.
Deborah Logan is best served as a traditional feature, but Jill Larson’s intimidating role as the main character gives it depth and shock.
“Lake of Eden”
Michael Fassbender is a household name today, thanks in part to his role as Magneto in the “X-men” saga. Back in 2008, a lesser-known Briton was starring in one impressive movie. Fassbender and Kelly Riley play a married couple trying to take a romantic vacation in the woods. Their courage is interrupted by local teens who need, to put it mildly, a habit beyond frightening strangers to death.
The film becomes a tense and blood-soaked battle for survival, one grounded in excellent threads. Director James Watkins later wrote “The Descent Part II” and directed “Woman in Black” featuring Daniel Radcliffe. Neither film was as gritty or memorable as his long-running debut.
“a house”
The ’80s gave us horror classics (“A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Fright Night”) as well as too many Z-class duds to count. This 1986 shocker looks like the latter at times, but he always bounces back thanks to his horrific comedy package.
The lovable William Cat cast his superhero pants to play a writer writing a book based on his experiences in the Vietnam War. To do so, he escapes to his late, creepy aunt’s house, which is teeming with ghosts and nosy neighbors like Georg Wendt.
standard!
“House” is surprisingly clever, taking advantage of general foreign exchange, some legitimate surprises and a broad sense of entertainment. The sequel proved to be unforgettable, but anyone craving ’80s horror food will come in handy.
“thirst”
Sometimes a horror movie delivers exactly what you’d expect and nothing else, but it’s still satisfying. Enter “Thirst,” the 2015 thriller from director Greg Kiefer.
A group of dysfunctional types embark on a training camp aimed at making them better people. It ends up feeding an alien that crushes its victim’s fluids.
Can these campers survive the pangs of alien hunger? Who will survive the final frame?
basic. Live. Well done, more or less. Yes, the horror bar is less here, but lovers of creatures will be pleasantly surprised.
“tavern keepers”
We live in the age of instant gratification, thanks to our iPhone and Smart TV apps. We want everything now, if not sooner, to paraphrase Veruca Salt
Director T West has something else in mind. Slow-burning horror films are clever, sophisticated, and eager to draw characters who will eventually find themselves in harm’s way.
He does it again here, introducing us to two slackers (Sarah Paxton, Pat Healy) tasked with overseeing a hotel at the end of its run. or them.
This 1979 thriller has it all!
- Low budget!
- Cast mostly forgotten!
- Cheap FX!
So why can’t we stop watching it?
It helps that Chuck Connors ranks the joint as a lonely roadside museum. Tanya Roberts adds some magic to the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ level. Best of all? This frightening outcome makes every kill count.
None of this should work, on paper, but almost every element does.
“Splinter”
Shea Whigham is one of the busiest actors worldwide. Director Toby Wilkins acknowledged his skills early on, calling him the fast-paced killer who leads this 2008 thriller.
The character Whigham teams up with a lovable couple who are trapped in a grocery store by a monster lurking outside. That’s it? That’s all you need when characters are as attractive as they are here, not to mention highly flawed.
It’s Survival 101 and Whigham makes his ornate character the must-watch character from start to finish.
“the House”
This New Zealand import remains one of the best kept horror secrets. A rebellious woman (Morgana O’Reilly) is forced to live with her parents, again, after she is caught by the police after a botched ATM robbery. You soon learn that the house in question is haunted, and what follows is a delicious mixture of fear and funny things.
An American remake is either shelved or it’s in development hell. Did not matter. The original is an unextracted remedy worthy of a topi stream.
bonus: Free streaming services allow us to enjoy “so bad, they’re good” horror flicks, too. If that’s your speed, consider watching “Ice Cream Man” with Clint Howard, “The Sand” with a cameo by Jamie Kennedy, and worst of all, “Jack Frost” (1997…AKA the one who didn’t participate in Starring Michael Keaton). They’re all terrible, but you might laugh (a lot) before the credits are out.
