The Scariest Movie of All Time Is Now on Tubi (a Free Streaming Service)

I’ve spent a lot of time watching and ranking horror movies. When I made Creepy Catalog’s list of the 34 scariest movies of all time, every movie on the list had at least one moment that evokes an over-the-top fear response in the audience. But there was one movie that had so many disturbing moments it clearly deserved the #1 spot.

That movie is now on the free streaming service Tubi.

Hereditary (2018) was director Ari Aster’s (Midsommar, Beau is Afraid) feature directorial debut. It follows a grieving family who fracture in the wake of a series of tragic losses. The heavy emotions (which should have earned star Toni Collette an Oscar) play off of sudden scares and build up to a sinister finale unlike anything most movie fans have ever seen.

You won’t have to wait long for Hereditary to hit you hard — the first horrific scene occurs only 30 minutes into the film. Not only is it shocking, but how the characters handle what happens is viscerally upsetting and hard to sit through. Know that this is only setting the stage for even more horror to come.

Anyone can watch movies for free on Tubi without even signing up for an account, so movie fans should make plans to watch this standout while they can.
