Quick answer: Start with Obsession if you want a sharp supernatural story with emotional discomfort, Evil Dead Burn for extreme gore, Ready or Not: Here I Come for survival horror with dark comedy, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy for slow family dread, or Tavvai for Hindi mythological horror.
These five movies do not offer the same kind of scare. That is the point. This Bingebaaz watchlist moves from cursed romance and Deadite carnage to lethal family games, grief-heavy supernatural horror and Indian curse mythology. Streaming and rental offers can change, so check the linked platform or store before pressing play.

1. Obsession
Bingebaaz 4/5 Supernatural horror
OTT availability: Rent through Apple TV Store or Amazon Video in India. Apple TV Store also lists a purchase option.
Best for: Viewers who like a clever supernatural rule with ugly emotional consequences.
A shy romantic uses a mysterious wish to make his longtime crush love him. The wish works, but the movie is interested in the difference between love and control. Curry Barker turns that shortcut into a cursed-romance nightmare where every sweet gesture begins to feel threatening.
Inde Navarrette gives the film its most volatile performance, while Michael Johnston makes the central bad decision feel human without making it excusable. It is the strongest all-round recommendation here if you want a horror movie with blood, dark humour and a moral idea that keeps hurting after the shocks are over. Read the full Obsession review on Bingebaaz.
2. Evil Dead Burn
Bingebaaz 3.5/5 Possession and body horror
OTT availability: No India streaming offer appeared in the latest provider check. Cinema availability can vary by city.
Best for: Gore fans who want practical effects, punishing violence and a colder Evil Dead chapter.
Director Sébastien Vaniček brings the Deadites into a grieving family already carrying blame and resentment. Once possession begins, old wounds become weapons. The setting gives familiar franchise machinery a harsher emotional temperature, even when the family drama cannot fully match the power of the effects.
Souheila Yacoub gives the carnage a fierce centre, and the practical gore delivers the physical impact franchise fans expect. This is the least suitable pick for sensitive viewers, but the easiest recommendation for anyone who wants horror to feel like a loud endurance test. Read the full Evil Dead Burn review on Bingebaaz.
3. Ready or Not: Here I Come
Survival horror JioHotstar
OTT availability: Streaming on JioHotstar in India.
Best for: Viewers who want a chase movie, deadly family games and dark comic energy.
Grace survives one murderous family only to learn that the game is much larger. The sequel brings Samara Weaving back and adds Kathryn Newton as Faith, Grace’s estranged sister. Four rival families, a secret council and a fight for its High Seat expand the scale without abandoning Grace’s survival story.
Watch the 2019 movie first because this story continues directly from Grace’s ordeal with the Le Domas family. Choose this over the heavier films on the list when you want violence with momentum and wit. Our Ready or Not 2 OTT guide has the cast, premise and trailer.
4. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy
Bingebaaz 3/5 Family horror
OTT availability: Rent through Apple TV Store or Amazon Video in India. Apple TV Store also lists a purchase option.
Best for: Patient viewers who prefer grief, atmosphere and domestic dread to fast adventure.
A journalist’s young daughter vanishes in the desert and returns eight years later. The miracle soon feels wrong. Lee Cronin uses that impossible reunion to turn a familiar monster brand into a story about a family being haunted by grief, suspicion and whatever may have returned with the child.
The film has atmosphere and a strong central hook, but its long runtime and familiar curse mythology can dull the sharper family material. Pick it when you want slow supernatural unease rather than the roller-coaster fun associated with older Mummy movies. Read the full The Mummy review on Bingebaaz.
5. Tavvai
Mythological horror JioHotstar
OTT availability: Streaming on JioHotstar in India.
Best for: Viewers looking for Hindi horror built around curses, ancestral sin and village dread.
Tavvai follows Pramendra as he inherits a terrifying curse tied to dark family secrets and a village threatened by an old evil. Its identity comes from mythology and moral consequence rather than a generic haunted-house setup. The film links its supernatural force to inherited wrongdoing, giving the mystery a specifically Indian spiritual texture.
This is the list’s most distinct regional genre pick. Choose it if folk-horror energy, rural mystery and curse lore sound more interesting than polished urban jump scares. Our Tavvai OTT guide covers its cast, story and JioHotstar availability.
Which horror movie should you watch first?
