Whether viewers prefer the communal screams of a movie theater or the isolation of watching scary movies at home, the schedule for the week of February 24, 2026, provides ample options. The following list details the horror projects available for viewing this week.

‘Anacoreta’ (2022)

Releasing on streaming platforms on February 24, 2026, ‘Anacoreta’ introduces a new mystery to the digital horror landscape. The title, which refers to a religious recluse or hermit, suggests a narrative focused on isolation and the psychological toll of solitude. With no audience score yet registered, this film serves as a fresh discovery for viewers browsing for independent genre content early in the week. It offers immediate access for those seeking a break from mainstream franchises.

‘Return to Silent Hill’ (2026)

Director Christophe Gans returns to the foggy, nightmarish town in this adaptation which became available for streaming on February 24, 2026. Based on the video game ‘Silent Hill 2’, the film has garnered a divisive reception, currently holding a 19% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 30% audience score. The story aims to recapture the atmospheric dread of the franchise as characters confront their personal demons manifested as grotesque creatures. Despite the critical hurdles, fans of the series can now judge the visual fidelity and narrative adaptation for themselves at home.

‘The Family Business’ (2026)

Scheduled to arrive on streaming services on February 26, 2026, this title serves as a mid-week bridge between the Tuesday drops and the weekend premieres. The film is classified as a horror entry, implying that the titular business involves dark secrets, crime, or perhaps occult practices within a domestic setting. Viewers looking to fill their Thursday evening with suspense can add this to their watchlist immediately upon release. The lack of early reviews maintains the mystery surrounding the specific threats the characters will face.

‘Scream 7’ (2026)

The iconic Ghostface killer slashes back into theaters on February 27, 2026, with a runtime of 1 hour and 54 minutes. Neve Campbell reprises her legendary role as Sidney Prescott, leading a cast that includes Courteney Cox, Isabel May, and Jasmin Savoy Brown. This horror mystery aims to deconstruct modern genre tropes while continuing the saga of the survivors from the previous installments. The theatrical release marks a significant event for slasher fans, promising high tension and the unraveling of a new killer’s identity on the big screen.

‘Crazy Old Lady’ (2026)

Streaming audiences can access this straightforwardly titled horror film starting February 27, 2026. The release coincides with the theatrical debut of major blockbusters, offering a home-viewing alternative for the weekend crowd. The title suggests a focus on the “hagsploitation” subgenre or the terrifying elder trope, often used to subvert the perceived innocence of old age. It targets viewers who enjoy discovering low-budget genre entries that rely on shock value and suspense.

‘Noseeums’ (2026)

Also premiering on streaming platforms on February 27, 2026, ‘Noseeums’ rounds out the week’s horror offerings with a creature feature premise. The title references tiny biting midges, indicating a plot that likely exploits the primal fear of swarming insects or unseen natural threats. It arrives without a pre-existing audience score, allowing the first wave of digital viewers to define its reputation. This release provides a nature-centric horror option for fans looking to avoid the slasher themes prevalent in theaters this week.
