Here are 13 of the best A24 horror films you can watch from home, including Backrooms and The Lighthouse.
Indie production house and distributor A24 has been making waves in the film industry for more than a decade now, particularly where horror is concerned.
By snatching up the rights for films such as 2013’s Under The Skin and Robert Eggers’ feature directorial debut The Witch in 2015, A24 carved itself a unique niche within the horror genre, leading to the popularisation of the term “elevated horror”.
A somewhat controversial term, it is often used in reference to films which emphasise atmosphere, tension and dread over more traditional jump scares. It also can mean projects anchored by social or philosophical themes, such as Ari Aster’s Hereditary (2018) and Midsommar (2019) which focus on trauma and grief.
Only released last year, Marty Supreme (2025) was the company’s highest-grossing film up until the release of Backrooms earlier this year. The debut film from director Kane Parsons, it shattered box office expectations to become one of the highest grossing movies of 2026 so far.
With Halloween coming up, and the longer nights here to stay, here are 13 of the best A24 horror films you can stream from home.

1. Backrooms (2026)
While technically Backrooms isn’t streaming yet, it is coming soon to HBO Max. The directorial debut of 21-year-old Kane Parsons — AKA Kane Pixels on YouTube — it is based on his web series, which was in turn inspired by a Creepypasta. Released earlier this year it became A24’s highest-grossing film to date earning 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. For those unfamiliar, the synopsis reads: “A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom.” Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve star. | A24

2. Bring Her Back (2025)
Backrooms isn’t the first A24 film to come from YouTubers-turned-directors, instead following in the footsteps of Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou, who are also known as RackaRacka. The twin brothers from Australia also directed 2023’s Talk To Me, but it’s their 2025 film Bring Her Back starring Sally Hawkins which is currently streaming on Now TV and Sky Cinema. With an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score, the full synopsis is as follows: “A brother and sister uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.” | A24

3. Death of a Unicorn (2025)
Less scary than some of the other films on this list is Death of a Unicorn from 2025. A comedy horror, this A24 film stars Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni and everyone’s favourite Traitor Richard E. Grant. It follows a father and daughter duo who accidentally kill a unicorn while driving to a weekend retreat, only for Rudd’s billionaire boss (Grant) to try and exploit the creature’s remains. While not quite as successful with critics, holding a 52% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Death of a Unicorn is currently streaming on Prime Video. | A24 / Balazs Goldi
