Right now, we don't have quite as big a selection as the US, but there's
still some great titles to dive into. If we're lucky, we'll start to see even more filter in throughout the coming months. We've still got Oscar-winners
and new movies to enjoy right now, so it's well worth making the most of the new streaming service. Here's 5 of my top horror movie picks that you won't want to miss.

Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson Sinners won big at the Oscars this year, taking home four awards for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. It's undeniably the biggest horror movie to stream on HBO Max right now.

The movie stars Michael B. Jordan as the Smokestack Twins, playing both Smoke and Stack in an impressive dual role that won him the Oscar. It's set in the American South in the early 1930s, with the two brothers arrive back in their hometown after years of war, looking to hide from trouble by opening up a 'juke joint', headlined by their younger cousin and gifted musician Sammie. But instead, they find evil waiting for them.

exciting horror movie, which follows a weekend getaway gone horribly wrong,
as they often do in this genre.

Quaid plays Josh, a man who has rented a companion robot Iris, played by Thatcher. He can control her via an app on his phone, but Iris rebels and steals it, going haywire in the process. In an era were robots and AI are so prevalent, this is a fun sci-fi horror that's well worth watching.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Trailer - YouTube Watch On Age Rating: 12A Length: 104 minutes Director: Tim Burton Main cast: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe What to read next 5 horror movies to stream this Valentine's Day HBO Max free trial: is there one, what deals are available, and more big questions answered December isnt just for holiday movies here are 9 new films I streamed this month that arent
Christmas-themed This follow up to the iconic 80s movie has an all-star cast, with plenty of familiar faces reprising their roles as we follow Lydia Deetz decades after the first story.

After a family tragedy occurs, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Despite still being haunted by Beetlejuice after all these years, Lydia is trying hard to move on, but her life ends up being turned upside down once again when her daughter accidentally opens a portal
to the Afterlife. The Conjuring The Conjuring - Official Main Trailer [HD] - YouTube Watch On Age Rating: 15 Length: 112 minutes Director: James Wan Main cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor The Conjuring is a beloved horror franchise and you can now watch the original one on HBO Max in the UK. If you liked this, three others are also available, and I'm hoping more Conjuring titles arrive soon.

Based on real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, the first movie follows the couple as they come to the assistance of the Perron family, who experience increasingly disturbing events in their farmhouse in Rhode Island in 1971. With some great scares, this is one of Wan's best. IT:
Chapter One IT - Official Trailer 1 - YouTube Watch On Age Rating: 15 Length: 135 minutes Director: Andy Muschietti Main cast: Jaeden Lieberher, Bill Skarsgrd, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard IT: Chapter One is Bill Skarsgrd's first appearance as Pennywise, and it's absolutely
terrifying. Based on the Stephen King novel, it tells the story of The
Losers' Club, a group of seven outcast children who are terrorized by this terrifying entity.

Once you've watched both IT movies (the sequel is also on HBO Max), it's well worth checking out the series Welcome to Derry as it expands on the lore and is one of the streamer's best shows, in my opinion. Follow TechRadar on
