"Alright, UK horror fans, it’s that glorious time of the week again! Grab your popcorn, lock the doors, draw the curtains, and get ready to dive headfirst into some serious scares. This weekend, we've scoured the depths of UK streaming services to bring you three must-watch horrors perfect for your Friday night or Saturday chill. Whether you're in the mood for unsettling psychological dread, a fresh Shudder Original, or a brutal Aussie cult classic, your weekend frights are sorted. Let's get spooky!"

 

1. Heretic (2024)

• Platform: Prime Video UK (Included with Prime subscription)
• Why Watch: "Hugh Grant in a terrifying new light! This psychological horror film sees two young missionaries trapped in a sinister homeowner's elaborate game of faith and torment. Directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (from A Quiet Place) deliver unsettling tension and a truly unique, claustrophobic premise that will mess with your mind long after the credits roll."

 

2. Best Wishes to All (2025)

• Platform: Shudder UK (Shudder Original Film – Premiered June 13th, perfect for this weekend!)
• Why Watch: "Just dropped on Shudder, this Japanese psychological horror promises to deliver a fresh take on family dread. A young woman's visit to her grandparents' home takes a dark, reality-bending turn as memories blur and reality fractures. If you're a fan of unsettling, mysterious horror that questions everything, add this to your list."

 

3. The Loved Ones (2009)

• Platform: Shudder UK (Recently added to Shudder in June)
• Why Watch: "If you haven't seen this cult classic, now is your chance! This brutal, stylish Australian horror gem is a masterclass in uncomfortable viewing, following a high school student who turns down a prom invitation and pays a horrific price. It's intense, unforgettable, and a must-see for anyone who appreciates truly visceral horror."

 

"What's on your horror watch list this weekend? Any hidden gems you're digging up, or perhaps a classic you're revisiting? For me, Heretic and Best Wishes to All are definitely at the top of my list to watch this weekend. And honestly, rediscovering The Loved Ones for this post just reminded me how truly brilliant and highly recommended that film is! Who knows, maybe one (or all!) of these will end up as a deep dive on the podcast soon! Share your picks and tell us what you're watching in the comments below! 👇"
