Netflix is streaming the eagerly awaited sequel, “The Platform 2,” directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. This film continues the storyline from the original.

On Shudder, fans of found footage horror can explore the seventh addition to the well-liked V/H/S series, titled “V/H/S: Beyond“.

Notably, “Stowaway,” starring Kate Siegel, has received significant acclaim.
Three distinctive films are set to arrive on streaming platforms this month. One such film, “Hold Your Breath,” which airs on Hulu, is spearheaded by Sarah Paulson. Despite a somewhat mediocre rating of 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, our review at MovieWeb awards it 3 out of 5 stars, largely due to Paulson’s compelling portrayal of madness. Prime Video presents its original horror film for the month, “House of Spoils,” a supernatural tale that intertwines the culinary world with witchcraft. With a rating of 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, it might not be highly recommended, but Ariana DeBose’s stellar performance and eerie atmosphere make it an intriguing choice. Lastly, “It’s What’s Inside,” airing on Netflix, seems poised to be the horror highlight of the month with its party-themed terrors enjoying a fresh 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Regardless of your feelings towards them, remakes remain an integral part of the horror genre, and fans of Stephen King should definitely take a look at the latest adaptation of Salem’s Lot on Max. The film has garnered 48% approval from critics and 41% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but anyone who appreciates anything related to the literary master of horror will find it interesting to watch. If you’re seeking horror flicks on Max this month, don’t forget to check out Apartment 7A, a prequel that has been in development for over 55 years.
