Meanwhile, FBI Agent Dale Cooper is trying to catch the killer while dealing with dark visions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> Most of the original <em>Twin Peaks<\/em> cast agreed to appear in the movie, though many have short cameos and some cast members\u2019 scenes were cut entirely. Lara Flynn Boyle, who played Donna Hayward in the TV series, was notably replaced by Moira Kelly because she had other film commitments. It was originally rumored that she refused to return because of nude scenes in the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-the-visit-2015\"><strong>9.

It\u2019s the first time they\u2019ve met, but their grandparents seem sweet and charming. Things take a bizarre turn when the grandparents start acting increasingly strange. <em>The Visit <\/em>is one of the top PG-13 horror movies on HBO Max because it\u2019s uniquely funny at times, yet also deeply disturbing.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> M. Night Shyamalan used his earnings from another movie (<em>After Earth<\/em>) to produce this film himself. It\u2019s his lowest-budget studio feature film. He says he took this approach because he wanted to regain artistic control after feeling like he\u2019d lost it with some of his other films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-malignant-2021\"><strong>8.

Events take an even darker turn when she realizes her visions are real and becoming worse. Desperate to figure out where they\u2019re coming from, Madison decides to explore her hazy past and the mystery of her childhood imaginary friend, Gabriel. Filled with untrustworthy narrators, twists, and gore, this film is a must-watch horror movie on HBO Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> <em>Malignant<\/em> has noteworthy celebrity fans. Stephen King tweeted about it, calling the movie \u201cbrilliant.\u201d Nicolas Cage said it was his favorite movie of the year, and that it helped inspire his portrayal of Dracula in <em>Renfield.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-paranormal-activity-2007\"><strong>7.

They set up cameras to capture evidence \u2013 with shocking results. This found footage film feels incredibly real and perfectly balances stressful build-ups with shocking twists. If you\u2019re looking for a paranormal story that will keep you up at night, stream this horror movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> The movie uses retroscripting \u2013 a technique in which the actors improvise around a story outline instead of using a set script. This, along with the fact that the director filmed the entire movie on a home digital camera, makes the events in the movie feel scarily real.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #cfe2f3; padding: 10px; border-radius: 25px;\">\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Max has different streaming libraries for each country it serves.

After one of Ellie\u2019s kids finds a mysterious book in the apartment building, nightmarish demons begin to possess the family, and Beth must fight for their lives. It\u2019s one of the best new horror movies on Max, especially if you\u2019re a fan of supernatural, gory zombie horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> The movie includes several callbacks to previous<em> Evil Dead<\/em> films, including a ticking clock that\u2019s the exact same one Cheryl draws in the original movie. In <em>Evil Dead Rise<\/em>, the characters get a pizza from a restaurant called Henrietta\u2019s, a reference to Henrietta Knowby from <em>Evil Dead 2.<\/em> It also starts with the sound of a fly buzzing, which you hear in every <em>Evil Dead<\/em> film.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

He forces them to answer trivia questions about horror films in exchange for their lives. Whether they answer right or not, there\u2019s no guarantee that he\u2019ll spare them. <em>Scream<\/em> is a lovingly-created satire of the slasher genre, which continues to delight old and new horror fans alike. The tension and gore make it one of the scariest horror movies on HBO Max.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> <em>Scream<\/em> has several references to the 1978 film <em>Halloween<\/em>. In one scene, when Casey\u2019s parents return home and learn that something bad has happened, Casey\u2019s dad tells her mom to \u201cGo to the McKenzies\u201d which is the same thing Laurie tells Lindsey and Tommy in <em>Halloween<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

Protagonist Paul has finally reclaimed order in the remote home he shares with his wife and son when a young family approaches seeking help. Will the families survive together or cause each other\u2019s demise? <em>It Comes At Night<\/em> is one of the top 10 horror movies on HBO Max because the acting is excellent, the danger feels real, and the storyline makes you question the trade-off between humanity and survival.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> There\u2019s an interesting mix of artwork shown throughout Paul\u2019s home.

Her mother, a local priest, and a church expert all believe that the devil has possessed Regan and they must perform an exorcism. Although some of the scenes look a bit dated without today\u2019s special effects, the movie is still one of the best horror movies to watch on Max, especially since it\u2019s based on a chilling true story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> In the film, Regan projectile vomits on Father Karras. The vomit was supposed to hit him in the chest, but a tubing error caused it to hit him in the face.
