2 Great Horror Thrillers To Watch This Weekend On Amazon Prime

This weekend, why not try out two great horror thrillers from two different eras?

By

Lupita Nyong’o as seen in A Quiet Place: Day One (2024), and Melissa George in Triangle (2009).

For these horror recommendations, we’re highlighting something old and something new, both of which are amazing, and both of which are available to watch right now as part of your Prime Video subscription.

Triangle (2009)

For viewers who enjoy: lost-at-sea horror, masked killers, mind-bending narratives

Triangle is one of those horror films that has grown in popularity over the years thanks to word of mouth. The movie’s twisty story is about a single mother who goes on an ill-fated boating trip with her friends, and they all end up being stalked by a killer on an abandoned ship. It sounds like a slasher movie, but that’s only part of it. Triangle will stick with you for a long time after the credits roll, which is exactly why fans are still talking about it so many years after its release.

A Quiet Place Day One (2024)

For viewers who enjoy: blockbuster horror, aliens, apocalyptic survival

A Quiet Place: Day One joined Prime Video at the beginning of January, so if you haven’t seen it yet, there’s no better time than now. The movie is a prequel to the previous two installments in the series, and it tells the tale of how the people of New York City reacted when the aliens who hunt by sound first landed. Tense and emotional, A Quiet Place: Day One is big-budget horror that delivers.
