A new month means a new streaming guide as titles are added (and dropped) from streaming services. Let’s unpack the most exciting titles that are available to watch on Tubi in January 2026.
New to Tubi December Horror Films
Battle Royale (2000)
- Premise: In a dystopian future, a group of students from a Japanese high school are forced by the government to compete in a sadistic competition, killing one another until only one is left standing.
- Why Watch It? Kinji Fukasaku‘s adaptation of Koushun Takami‘s novel of the same name is arguably one of the most influential texts of the last quarter century. Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games was undoubtedly influenced by the film (even if she says otherwise), and Quentin Tarantino was so smitten by Chiaki Kuriyama‘s performance that he cast her as Gogo Yubari in Volume 1 of Kill Bill. Plus: the satire of a filmed deadly reality TV competition is still scarily relevant to our real life dystopian timeline.

The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015)
- Premise: During winter break, two students stay in an all-girls boarding school in the company of a terrifying presence.
- Why Watch It? We’re coming off one hell of a year for Osgood Perkins who delivered not one, but TWO films in 2025 between The Monkey and Keeper. What better way to ring in the new year than revisit his criminally under seen debut, which features fantastic performances by Kiernan Shipka, Emma Roberts, and Lucy Boynton? It’s twisty-turny, moody, demonic, and concludes with a devastating gut punch that’ll leave you thinking long after the credits. Considering the film’s original title – February – hold your screening until the last day of the month so that you can ring in the bleakest month of the year in style.
- Streaming: January 1
Black Rock (2012)
- Premise: Three childhood friends (Katie Aselton, Lake Bell, and Kate Bosworth) set aside their personal issues and reunite for a girls’ weekend on a remote island off the coast of Maine. One wrong move turns their weekend getaway into a deadly fight for survival.
- Why Watch It? Black Rock is another under seen and underrated gem that pits a trio of women against three men on an isolated island. It’s a relatively straightforward story, but the performances and the relationships of the protagonists make it highly watchable. Plus: it’s worth checking out just to see what Aselton is capable of (she wears three hats on the production, including acting, directing, and co-writing duties alongside friend Mark Duplass). If you watched the S02 finale of The Creep Tapes and want to see more of Aselton, this is a great place to start.
- Streaming: January 1
The Cable Guy (1996)
- Premise: A designer (Matthew Broderick) makes a grievous mistake when he rejects the friendship of a an unhinged cable guy (Jim Carrey).
- Why Watch It? Ok, yes, director Ben Stiller‘s poorly received film is technically a dark comedy, but in anticipation of The Cable Guy‘s 20th anniversary in June, what better time to reevaluate the film as a homoerotic home invasion/stalker movie? It’s honestly such an odd curiosity of a film, made even more notable for being the first real dent in the armour of Carrey’s commercial appeal.
- Streaming: January 1
Foxcatcher (2014)
- Premise:U.S. Olympic wrestling champions and brothers Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and Dave (Mark Ruffalo) Schultz join “Team Foxcatcher”, led by eccentric multi-millionaire John du Pont (Steve Carrell), as they train for the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, but John’s self-destructive behavior threatens to consume them all.
- Why Watch It? Director Bennett Miller (Capote; Moneyball) excels at bringing real life events to the silver screen in a compelling way. Foxcatcher is another great example: the true crime adaptation features bizarre turns, great performances, and its 2+ hour runtime breezes by. It was also widely lauded, earning five Oscar nominations (including nods for Carrell and Ruffalo). In the run-up to the Olympic games next month, why not revisit the dangers of pursuing perfection and excellence?
- Streaming: January 1
Pi (1998)
- Premise: A paranoid mathematician searches for a key number that will unlock the universal patterns found in nature.
- Why Watch It? Darren Aronofsky famously burst onto the scene with his feature directorial debut, a paranoid arthouse film that won him directing accolades at Sundance, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Gotham Awards. It’s not a film for everyone, but open minded audiences who go in prepared for moody and hallucinatory black & white visuals will find plenty to appreciate.
- Streaming: January 1
Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
- Premise: When her adoptive father disappears, Heather AKA Sharon Da Silva (Adelaide Clemens) is drawn into a strange and terrifying alternate reality that holds answers to the horrific nightmares that have plagued her since childhood.
- Why Watch It? While nowhere near as well-received or revered as its predecessor, MJ Bassett‘s Silent Hill sequel has its defenders. The messy (and occasionally boring) plot isn’t helped by charisma vaccuum Kit Harrington, but at least there’s a reputable supporting cast that includes Malcolm McDowell and Carrie-Anne Moss. It’s not essential viewing, but for Silent Hill completionists, you basically have to revisit this before Return to Silent Hill, right?
