Five Splatter Horror Movies to Stream This Week

This week, we’re seeing red. This Friday is Valentine’s Day and Terrifier 3 debuts on SCREAMBOX. Instead of revisiting Valentine’s Day-themed or romantic horror, however, we’re celebrating with ultra-gory horror movies that splatter their sets with all the red matter.

That means that this week’s streaming picks are for the sickos and showcase some of horror’s goriest offerings that wield the gore in various ways. Some use excessive bloodletting to elicit a laugh, while others aim to put you through an extreme gauntlet of visceral terror.

These splatter horror movies are all available on streaming now.

As always, here’s where you can watch them this week.

Found – Hoopla, Pluto TV, the Roku Channel

Twelve-year-old Marty deals with bullying, friendships, and a tumultuous family life. His father is short-tempered and a terrible role model, at best. Marty finds solace in horror movies, something he used to share with his older brother Steve. Steve, however, has become an aloof teen who spends as little time at home as possible, giving Marty plenty of room to discover his secret; Steve likes to commit murder and keep his victims’ heads as souvenirs. One of the most extreme takes on coming of age horror, Found takes a hard look at how parents shape their children’s lives. It’s not for the faint of heart.

Pieces – Kanopy, Pluto TV, the Roku Channel, SCREAMBOX

Juan Piquer Simon’s splattery slasher has a bonkers reputation that precedes it, delivering one of horror’s most entertaining viewing experiences of all time. The tagline, “It’s exactly what you think it is!” only scratches the surface of the weirdness within. Sure, you get exactly what you expect in terms of gore when it features a jigsaw puzzle-obsessed killer with a chainsaw, but the execution is so over the top there’s nothing that really prepares you for the madness. It’s a gory blast.

Project Wolf Hunting – Hi-Yah!, Hoopla, Prime Video, SCREAMBOX

All hell breaks out on an ocean transport from the Philippines to South Korea, when a group of dangerous criminals unites to stage a coordinated escape attempt. As the jailbreak escalates into an ultra-violent riot, the fugitives and their allies from the outside exact a brutal siege against the special ops team on board. Truly, it’s one of 2023’s goriest films. Go into this one with a vow not to get attached to any character; they’re all fodder for excruciatingly bloody deaths. Don’t miss the splatterfest that plays like Con Air meets Jason Takes Manhattan and Predator.

The Sadness – AMC+, Hoopla, Shudder

A viral mutation causes the infected to become sadistically violent in this gorefest inspired by the gnarly comic Crossed. Director Rob Jabbaz keeps a death grip on the pulse of the current climate, delivering a rage-filled manifesto that aims to tick off every cinematic taboo possible and tests your gag reflex in the process. It’s transgressive horror of the highest, most aggressive order. Heed all of the trigger warnings and then some. The filmmaker delivers his message with blunt force trauma, breaking all the rules along the way. It’s a vicious anthem that keeps you in its grip, forces you to stare into the abyss, and dares you to look away.

Tokyo Gore Police – AMC+, Fandango at Home, Shudder

Let’s get weird. In the near future, a mad scientist in Japan created a virus that causes weapons to sprout from bodily injury. A privatized police force is tasked with dealing with this new mutant threat. Directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura, Tokyo Gore Police is a splatter flick that goes just as heavy on the bonkers mutant designs as it does the gore. It’s batshit in every way. Tokyo Gore Police brings the blood rain via arterial spray, beating Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead to the punch by five years.
