Looking for streaming horror movie reviews you can trust? In this episode of Streams and Nightmares, Dave works through eight movies so you can skip the duds and find the keepers. The episode is called VHS Mixtape, A Cure for Wellness, The Car, Bloody Tennis, Do Not Enter, and it covers a mix of classics, cult oddities and brand new 2026 releases.
Dave starts with the 1985 horror comedy Transylvania 6-5000, which gets a 5 out of 10 thanks to Jeff Goldblum, Jeffrey Jones and a scene-stealing Michael Richards. It’s PG, so it could be a good Halloween watch with the kids. Then comes the 1977 possessed-car movie The Car, with James Brolin, great practical stunts and a score that echoes The Shining, also a 5 out of 10. Other picks include the Japanese kung fu oddity The Oily Maniac and the overlong but atmospheric Gore Verbinski gothic horror A Cure for Wellness.
If you want honest streaming horror movie reviews made for horror movie fans, this episode shows which ones are worth your time.
