Hulu Is Adding Some Great Horror/Sci-Fi Movies In February

Hulu is often seen as the bastard stepchild of streaming services, disregarded in favor of larger competitors who are better stocked with content. However, it can be a place to unexpectedly discover numerous movie gems, and several quality genre titles are arriving next month.

First up, Possessor is a sci-fi following an assassin who mentally inhabits other people’s bodies to undertake her jobs, the story delving as much into the identity disassociation she suffers as a result of the possessions as it does the intricacy with which the hits are set up.

You’re Next, meanwhile, sees a young woman accompanying her boyfriend to his family reunion taking charge when a band of masked killers invade the home, her upbringing in a survivalist compound making her more than a match for the intruders. Elsewhere, 12 Hour Shift is a darkly humorous thriller where a drug-addicted nurse finances her habit by trafficking patient organs, only to one night misplace a stolen kidney and frantically search for a replacement lest she have to provide it herself.

There’s also Phase IV, a notoriously bizarre sci-fi from the ‘70s featuring intelligent ants developing a hive mind and initiating a plan to battle humanity for supremacy, with the events interspersed with trippy dreamscape visuals.

Also available are darkly comedic satire Mars Attacks!, a cartoonishly violent invasion of Earth by the Red Planet.

Tell us, though, what do you plan to stream on Hulu next month? As always, let us know down below.
