10 Best Horror Movies To Stream This Halloween

10. The Void (Shudder)

Whilst old classics are always welcome when it comes to Halloween horror, The Void offers something both strangely familiar and completely new with its mash up between originality and homage. Feeling like the bastard lovechild of John Carpenter and H. P. Lovecraft, directors Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski distill the finer qualities of body horror and cosmic terror, bundling them all up into a film with enough atmosphere to make Mars habitable.

The premise is a simple one, that sees a small group of patients, staff, and police trapped inside a hospital by a strange cult. Included in said hospital is a pregnant girl ready to pop and an unknowable, tentacle-clad monster that used to be a nurse. And from there, things understandably spiral out of control.

The Void's strengths lie in visuals more than anything else, making it the perfect unsettling movie to whack on for feeling spooky as we come up to Halloween. Whilst it technically doesn't boast any big names, it invokes all the best with its appreciation of 80s horror and synthwave scares, and remains sorely underrated since release in 2016.
