by

Among the heavyweights in the streaming arena, Hulu stands out as a platform brimming with diverse content, but what many viewers might not know is that it’s a goldmine for horror enthusiasts! From classic chills to modern screams, a plethora of horror favorites, both timeless and contemporary, can be found on Hulu. Some of these include ‘Alien’, ‘The Babadook’, ‘Longlegs’, and even the highly-acclaimed ‘The Monkey’ from 2025. Every month, Hulu adds new terrors to its collection, and the recent additions for September 2025 have given subscribers a taste of one of the most intense and gruesome horror sequels in recent times.

In 2023, filmmaker Lee Cronin added the fifth and latest addition to the highly acclaimed horror series, the Evil Dead films, with the release of Evil Dead Rise in cinemas. This gory, self-contained movie began streaming on Hulu from September 1st. Set within the mythology of the Necronomicon, Evil Dead Rise revolves around two estranged sisters, Beth and Ellie, whose reunion turns into a harrowing battle for survival when they are besieged by malevolent entities known as Deadites in a Los Angeles apartment building. The cast includes Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols, and Nell Fisher.

Why You Should Watch Evil Dead Rise

In simpler terms, “Evil Dead Rise” delivers as an impressive follow-up and gory extension of the “Evil Dead” series. The film combines the familiar horror elements and mythology from Sam Raimi’s movies, while incorporating references to earlier films, in a new location with fresh characters. This revamp aims to breathe new life into the franchise, offering an exhilarating watch filled with buckets of blood, frightening moments, and creative kill scenes. In fact, “Evil Dead Rise” is one of the scariest installments in the series so far and promises a thrilling experience with its intense, confined action sequences.

The latest movie in the Evil Dead series, titled Evil Dead Rise, has strongly emphasized the enduring appeal of the franchise. This film was not only well-received by critics but also proved profitable at the box office, earning a staggering $147 million globally, making it the highest-grossing Evil Dead movie to date. It also garnered positive feedback from both critics and audiences, securing a “Certified Fresh” status on Rotten Tomatoes with 85% critical approval and 76% audience rating – the fourth-best rating in the series. The film is now available for streaming on Hulu, as the Evil Dead franchise continues to broaden its influence with a spinoff in development. The upcoming movie, titled Evil Dead Burn, directed by Sébastien Vaniček, is slated for release next year and is described as a self-contained spinoff.
