Most “what to stream” lists are a shell game. They hand you Hereditary for the ninth year running and call it a recommendation. This is not that. Every title below landed on its service between Monday, September 7 and Sunday, September 13, 2026. If it was already sitting there last week it is not here.
Some of these are genuinely new films. Some are old films that just moved into a new house. We say which is which, because there is a difference and pretending otherwise is how these lists get useless.
Shudder
Shudder had the busiest week by a wide margin. Several of these are also available through AMC+, but the dates below refer to their Shudder additions.
Mārama Where to Watch: Shudder Date Added: September 11, 2026
The one to clear your Friday night for. Taratoa Stappard’s debut is billed as the first Māori Gothic horror feature and it took the Official Competition Grand Jury Prize at SIFF. It currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes across 49 reviews. A young Māori woman travels to Victorian England in 1859 and finds out what her colonial inheritance actually consists of. Then she goes about destroying the titled Englishman responsible. This is a Shudder Exclusive and its subscription streaming premiere. It has been available to rent or buy digitally for a while, so this is the first time it costs nothing extra. Gothic horror built on a specific historical grievance tends to have teeth. This one does.
Descendent Where to Watch: Shudder Date Added: September 11, 2026
Peter Cilella’s directorial debut premiered at SXSW in 2025 and hit digital that August. It has passed through a couple of services since. This week it lands on Shudder. Ross Marquand plays a school security guard waiting on his first child and losing a fight with his own childhood. Then a beam of light finds him at work and he starts producing detailed drawings of things he has never seen. It sits closer to abduction dread than to monsters. Sarah Bolger is very good in it. Not a premiere, but new to Shudder this week.
The Serpent’s Skin Where to Watch: Shudder Date Added: September 7, 2026
A Shudder Exclusive about Anna, who leaves a transphobic hometown behind and meets a goth tattoo artist named Gen. They connect over shared supernatural ability. Then Gen’s needle work summons a demon before the romance gets anywhere. Queer horror with a conjuring problem is a good pitch and Shudder has been reliable in this lane.
Its Name Was Mormo Where to Watch: Shudder Date Added: September 7, 2026
Found footage assembled as police evidence. A family of three gets picked apart one at a time by a demon out of Greek mythology. Mormo is a real figure from antiquity so the mythology has some grounding. Whether the evidence-file structure earns itself is the question every movie in this format has to answer.
Sayara Where to Watch: Shudder Date Added: September 7, 2026
A quiet gym cleaner in Turkmenistan loses her sister to a group of politically protected rich kids. She takes up her father’s line of work. This is revenge thriller territory more than creature territory. Shudder files it as an Exclusive and horror audiences with a tolerance for brutality will find it.
Chainsaws Were Singing Where to Watch: Shudder Date Added: September 7, 2026
An Estonian horror musical about new lovers separated by a chainsaw killer. That sentence is the entire sales pitch and it either works on you or it does not. Loud and extremely silly on purpose.
Netflix
Prom Night (1980) Where to Watch: Netflix Date Added: September 9, 2026
New to Netflix, not new. Paul Lynch’s slasher put Jamie Lee Curtis on a dance floor two years after Halloween and built the whole thing around a six-year-old secret and a masked figure with an axe. It is slower than its reputation suggests and the disco sequence runs long enough to become its own genre event. Worth it for Curtis and for a body count structure that half the decade copied. This is Netflix’s only horror addition this week, which tells you something about Netflix.
Hulu
Heretic (2024) Where to Watch: Hulu Date Added: September 8, 2026
The best thing added anywhere this week. Two young Latter-day Saint missionaries knock on the wrong door and Hugh Grant answers it. What follows is nearly two hours of theological argument that slowly stops being an argument. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods built a chamber piece where the weapon is rhetoric, and Grant plays Mr. Reed as a man who has clearly been rehearsing. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East hold the floor against him. It has been on Max before. This is a new streaming home rather than a premiere, and it is the one to send people to.
The Green Knight (2021) Where to Watch: Hulu Date Added: September 8, 2026
Not horror. Close enough to matter. David Lowery made A Ghost Story and he brings the same patience here to a beheading game, a rotting green landscape, a talking severed head and a giant walking through fog. Folk horror readers will recognize the machinery even though the film never announces itself as genre. New to Hulu.
Rich Flu (2024) Where to Watch: Hulu Date Added: September 11, 2026
Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia followed The Platform with a plague that only kills rich people. The wealthy start dropping and everyone left alive races to give their money away before the illness works out who they are. It is a blunt instrument and the satire lands about as gently as a brick. Filed as sci-fi thriller in most places and picked up by horror outlets anyway. New to Hulu.
Peacock
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) Where to Watch: Peacock Date Added: September 10, 2026
Dracula’s sea crossing turned into a single-location creature feature. The ship leaves Romania with mysterious cargo and the crew starts disappearing. André Øvredal directs and his Nosferatu-styled monster is a real design rather than a shadow. The film flopped hard theatrically and has been quietly picking up defenders since. New to Peacock. Best creature option of the week if you want something moving in the dark rather than something arguing with you.
Drop (2025) Where to Watch: Peacock Date Added: September 11, 2026
Christopher Landon’s single-setting thriller about a widowed mother on a first date who starts receiving anonymous drops telling her to kill him. Meghann Fahy carries it. This is a returning catalog title rather than a premiere, so if it feels familiar that is because Peacock has had it before. The news is that it is back as of September 11.
Tubi
Free with ads, no account gymnastics required.
Presence (2024) Where to Watch: Tubi Date Added: September 7, 2026
Steven Soderbergh shot an entire haunted house film from the ghost’s point of view. The camera is the entity. It drifts through rooms, lingers on a family coming apart, and never once cuts to a reaction shot the way a normal horror movie would. Lucy Liu leads. The gimmick sounds unbearable and instead it turns the house into a character with a conscience. This is the best free thing added this week and it is not close.
Border (2018) Where to Watch: Tubi Date Added: September 7, 2026
Ali Abbasi’s film about a customs officer who can smell guilt and who slowly learns what she actually is. Filed as dark fantasy in most places. It belongs here anyway because the body horror is genuine and unsentimental. Strange, sad and physically upsetting in ways that stay with you.
The Delivery Girl Where to Watch: Tubi Date Added: September 11, 2026
A Tubi Original psychological thriller. An insurance adjuster comes undone when a food delivery courier fixates on him. Tubi Originals are a mixed bag and this is a genuine premiere, so consider it a coin flip with no cost attached.
