Read time5 min

Horror movies, when well done, are bone-chilling instruments of terror that linger in our imaginations even after the movie ends. A wide variety of horror films can be streamed on the Disney plus Hotstar streaming platform!

Here are the ten best horror movies streaming on Disney plus Hotstar.

1. The Sixth Sense, Disney+Hotstar

This movie on Disney+Hotstar features Cole, a young boy plagued by a sinister secret - he can see dead people. He shares this secret only with renowned child psychologist Dr Malcolm Crowe as he is unable to share his problems with anyone else. Both of them are shocked as Dr Crowe eventually learns the truth about Cole's otherworldly talents.

2. Insidious, Hotstar

Directed by James Wan, the first instalment in the Insidious series recounts the tale of Josh and Renai as they relocate to a new home with their children. But as one of their sons enters a sudden comatose stage without any explanation, strange things start happening in their house.

3. Signs, Disney plus Hotstar

Signs, on Hotstar India, focuses on mysterious crop indications and how they affect one man and his family. Farmer Graham finds a message carved into his crops in a complex pattern of circles and lines. What he discovers next will impact his family member' lives forever.

4. Aliens, Hotstar

The genres of sci-fi and horror often overlap, and this film is a great example. A deep-space salvage team discovers Lt. Ripley's shuttle floating in space for 57 years. The marines uncover just one survivor, a nine-year-old girl named Newt. However, the hundreds of aliens who infiltrated the colony are more than a match for these soldiers and their cutting-edge weapons.

5. Shaun Of The Dead, Disney plus Hotstar

This horror comedy on Hotstar features Shaun, a loser in his 30s who leads a boring life. When he's not working at the electronics store, he shares a little flat with his best friend, Ed. His fiancée Liz is the only unpredictability in his life. Shaun must step up and defend Liz, and his mother as the town is mysteriously overtaken by zombies.

6. Ready Or Not, Hotstar

In this movie on Hotstar, Grace weds the love of her life, and she couldn't be happier. The only catch is that she must now hide from dusk till daylight as her new in-laws use firearms, crossbows, and other weapons to hunt her. Grace must quickly find a way to turn the tables on her unlovable relatives as she struggles to survive the night.

7. Host, Disney+Hotstar

During an internet séance, six friends unintentionally attract the attention of a demonic presence and start experiencing weird occurrences in their houses. The Host, on Disney+Hotstar, delivers paralysing fear and takes inspiration from other movies based on the digital world in the best ways possible.

8. A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hotstar

Freddy Krueger, a nocturnal killer who preys on children in their dreams before killing them in reality, kills several Midwestern teenagers in this famous slasher movie, now available to stream on Hotstar. After encountering this terror, Nancy, the film's protagonist, begins to suspect that their parents might have been keeping a dark secret from them for years.

9. The Strain, Hotstar

Dr Ephraim, the leader of the Center for Disease Control in New York, is the subject of this film on Disney+Hotstar. He and his team are asked to look into an unusual viral epidemic that looks like a dangerous and ancient form of vampirism. An airliner lands in the city under peculiar circumstances—with all of its shades drawn down, lights off, and passengers dead. He has to contain the outbreak before it spreads to New York, where his family lives.

10. The Exorcist, Disney+Hotstar

The Exorcist on Disney+Hotstar is one of the most successful horror films and is partially based on actual occurrences. When tiny Regan begins acting strangely—levitating, speaking in tongues—her concerned mother seeks medical help without success. However, a local padre believes the girl might be under the devil's control. The denomination sends an expert to assist with the challenging task after the religious minister requests that an exorcism be performed.
