I’m a sucker for punishment. With that in mind, this section is dedicated to ultra low budget horror movies free on Tubi.tv. Now we all know there is a lot of great horror on Tubi. That is not what this section is about. That would be too easy. This section is purely dedicated to reviews of the movies that nobody seems to talk about.
The rules here are simple. I don’t read reviews, I don’t read suggestions, I don’t read anything about the movie. I simply check out the synopsis and watch before bringing you my unfiltered opinion. Expect a ton of bad movies and maybe even a few good ones. This feature was originally intended for June of 2023 but I will probably keep adding to it indefinitely.
Katherine Barrell and Melanie Scrofano deliver a sharp-tongued Tubi Original with Clickbait: Unfollowed. A group of vapid influencers compete for followers and their lives.
Ted Campbell directs the Tubi Original This Never Happened. A group of friends return to a childhood home for a funeral, only to be stalked by a spirit. Is it a hidden gem or total dreck?
Tesh Guttikonda and Mitch Oliver deliver a rare Tubi gem with Lowlifes. A road-tripping family meets their match in the backwoods in this gory, blackly comic slasher.
Amelia Moses directs the Tubi Original Guess Who, a holiday slasher that trades tropes for a cohesive crime narrative. Is this the rare high-budget gem Tubi fans have been waiting for?
Jared Cohn directs Swim, a Tubi Original shark horror about a family trapped in a flooded holiday rental. Can this basement-set thriller stay afloat?
Colton Tran delivers a “true story” thriller with Sorry, Charlie. While the ending offers a fun twist, does the rest of the film rely too heavily on slasher tropes?
It reunites Halloween 4 director Dwight Little with Danielle Harris and throws Robert Englund into the mix for good measure. On paper, Natty Knocks sounds like a slasher fan’s dream come true. But does this 2023 throwback actually deliver the scares, or is it just another generic entry relying on star power to hide a weak script? Let’s take a look.
Monika Mitchell delivers a classic “TV movie” style thriller with Deadly Midwife. While the plot is projected from a mile away, its considered take on gaslighting offers some unexpected depth.
D.W. Medoff tackles workplace assault and misogyny through a supernatural lens in Pollen. Does this metaphorical creature feature offer anything new to the genre?
Carlos Goitia attempts to weave pre-existing horror shorts into a cohesive narrative with Nightmare Radio: The Night Stalker. Does this anthology click or clash?
Joseph Mazzaferro delivers a crowded, cliché-heavy paranormal horror with The Haunting of Julia Fields. Does this “true story” offer anything new to the genre?
Richard Mansfield takes on the “Smart Home” genre with 13 Sherwood Avenue. Does this tale of an AI communicating with the undead offer genuine chills or just glitches?
