It's clear from the films on the top horror movies on streaming list that everyone loves a rage virus apocalypse, at least one that they can watch from a safe distance. For the second week in a row, the original film by Danny Boyle and the sequel, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, are comfortably ensconced in top spots. The demand for 28 Days Later has increased so much that another streamer added it to their service, which has only boosted the film's streaming views.
A very intriguing film has sprung onto the list this week, director Karen Kusama's cult favorite The Invitation. It's one of those films that dedicated horror fans recommend to their friends as many times as they need to until that friend watches it. Since the film is on streaming, now is a great time to catch it while you can.
Another new film is Jaume Collet-Serra's The Woman in the Yard, which was released earlier this year but has just recently been put on streaming. The eerie image of a veiled woman simply sitting in a family's front yard for some unknown and terrible purpose has caught viewers' attention.
