Whether you’re in the mood for a tale of the supernatural or a home-invasion slasher, some of the best horror movies are streaming for free. All of the horror movies listed below received high praise from both critics and audiences alike, and they’re worth revisiting or for newer audiences to discover. The three films are currently streaming for free on Vudu.
This tells the story of Erin (Vinson), who accompanies her boyfriend, Crispian (Bowen), for his family reunion. A mysterious group of ax-wielding killers invade the gathering, but one member of the reunion proves to be just as an effective killer as the perpetrators.
“Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon) is a fairly typical working-class guy living in Chicago with his wife Maggie (Kathryn Erbe) and his son Jake (Zachary David Cope). One night at a party, Tom gets into a lively discussion with his sister-in-law, Lisa (Illeana Douglas), who believes in psychic communication and the power of hypnosis. He challenges Lisa to hypnotize him, and she plants in him a post-hypnotic suggestion to be more open-minded. But the results aren’t quite what Lisa or Tom expected; Tom now senses an air of terrible dread throughout his house and is convinced that evil lurks just around the corner. He also sees the spirit of a girl from the neighborhood who disappeared months ago — and Jake sees the spirit as well.”
Henriksen portrays Ed Harley, a farmer who loses his young son because of an accident caused by a group of reckless bikers. Mourning, distraught, and seeking revenge, Ed visits a witch to conjure the demon Pumpkinhead to unleash hell and vengeance on the bikers. However, Ed soon regrets his decision to conjure the evil spirit. The farmer attempts to stop the powerful creature, but he already may be too late.
The character depth that Henriksen and Winston provide Ed Harley is stunning, and it is character development that is rarely seen in modern horror movies. The creepiness of the film is only paralleled by the tragedy and drama, and viewers are likely to have no problem sympathizing with the farmer and rooting for him when he attempts to do battle with the demon.
