Here’s what terrors await on the streamer.
In the mood to watch a scary movie? Some great titles, like The Exorcist, It and The Shining, may have slipped off Max recently, but plenty of excellent flicks are still up for grabs. You can stream classics like The Silence of the Lambs and newer films like Evil Dead Rise.
Here are the horror movies you should make time for on Max. All these films received generally favorable reviews or better, according to Metacritic. If you’re wondering what Max is all about, here’s more on the streaming service, which unites the HBO Max and Discovery Plus libraries.
Hereditary (2018)
This is one you shouldn’t watch alone. Ari Aster’s feature directorial debut about what a family uncovers after the death of its matriarch may be the scariest entry on this list. If you’re up for a disturbing flick with great performances, venture cautiously into Hereditary.
