7 Horror Movies Leaving Amazon Prime Video Next Week (May 27-31)
The best horror movies on their way out of Prime Video’s library!
Prime Video’s end-of-month movie purge is quickly approaching. The horror films listed below can currently be streaming for free as part of your Amazon Prime subscription, but not for much longer. The first one leaves next Tuesday (May 27th), and the rest will exit the service by the end of the week (May 31st). Find links to stream below while you still can!
Lisa Frankenstein (2024)
Lisa Frankenstein gets surprisingly dark for a Frankenstein-inspired romantic comedy, but the darkness is what makes it so much fun. Directed by Zelda Williams from a script by Diablo Cody, Lisa Frankenstein is perfect for fans of star Kathryn Newton’s horror comedies like Abigail (2024) and Freaky (2020).
The Visit (2015)
The simplicity of The Visit helps make it one of M. Night Shyamalan’s most effective movies. It’s a found-footage movie about two kids going to stay with their grandparents whom they’ve never met. Staying with strangers, even if they are family, is unnerving enough, but there’s more to the story that makes it one of the creepiest movies Shyamanalan has ever done.
The Amityville Horror (1979)
The Amityville Horror is a classic. It’s one of the definitive haunted house movies that helped shape the genre. If you’ve never seen it, don’t miss this chance to watch it for “free” as part of your Prime Video subscription.
The Amityville Horror (2005)
As far as remakes (and re-adaptations of novels) go, The Amityville Horror (2005) is okay. Nothing spectacular, but Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George are entertaining to watch as George and Kathy Lutz. So if you want more Amityville, this movie is fine. It’s worth a watch if you’re a big fan of the original story.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
Though the TV show is better, I still have a great fondness of the original movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Kristy Swanson is great as Buffy, and [SPOILER] Paul Reubens has one of the best “death” scenes ever as the vampire Amilyn.
Shutter (2008)
Shutter came out at a time when the wave of North American remakes of East/Southeast Asian supernatural horror movies was reaching its saturation point. So, you might have overlooked this movie about an American couple in Japan who start seeing ghostly images in photographs after a car accident. But it’s still streaming on Prime Video for a few more days, so maybe give it a look if you’ve never given it a chance before.
Daybreakers (2009)
Daybreakers is sci-fi/action/horror at its most 2000s. It’s set in a dark near-future where a plague has turned nearly everyone into vampires. The story involves a giant corporation trying to hold on to its power by suppressing the potential of a cure that could turn everyone back into humans. It’s a fun flick for fans of films like the Underworld franchise.
