Here are the best horror movies streaming the weekend of 5/26/23:

Missing (2023). Streaming on Netflix. A screenlife thriller movie about a missing person that also serves as a standalone sequel to Searching (2018).

Bodil (Bracha van Doesburgh) and Isabel (Elise Schaap) exchange elaborate plans to convince their husbands they are on a girls weekend while they are actually having affairs. When Isabel must leave early she stops by the cottage where Bodil is staying to pick up her phone (which her husband has been tracking), however Bodil then discovers a chaotic and bloody scene. The police suspect Bodil, who struggles to tell the full truth when it incriminates herself so much. A bonus for any OC fans is that the lead actress bears a striking resemblance to American actress Mischa Barton.

Creepypasta (2023). Streaming on Screambox. A horror anthology movie in which each segment is based on viral internet stories known as creepypasta.
