The “crazy” horror film, which is an insider tip, can now be streamed for free
If you’re looking for your next horror movie fix, check out the fan-favorite hidden gem Braid — which is currently available to stream for free.
Not that we aren’t spoiled for choice when it comes to horror in 2024. From indie hits like In a Violent Nature and When Evil Lurks to global phenomena like Longlegs and The First Omen, we are truly living in the year of horror.
And the best part is yet to come: Art the Clown makes his highly anticipated return this Halloween in “Terrifier 3.”
However, if you’re looking for hidden gems you may have missed this weekend, the horror community is here to help and recommends the 2018 film Braid.
Directed by Mitzi Peirone, the film, also known as “Dying to Play” and “Nobody Leaves,” is about two refugees who seek refuge in the spooky mansion of their delusional childhood friend.
To get their money, they play a crazy fantasy game that descends into surreal, nightmarish chaos and leads to a hellishly shocking ending with an unexpected twist.
The cast includes Madeline Brewer, Imogen Waterhouse, Sarah Hay and Scott Cohen. The film was mentioned in a Reddit thread asking horror fans for their real insider tips.
“I’m talking about those good, deep cuts that convey a certain mood,” they wrote, with the top comment recommending Braid.
“Crazy as hell. Exciting to watch,” agreed one Redditor, while another said, “I loved the movie. I made an Insta account just to tell the director how much I liked it.”
A third added: “I really enjoyed this. Saw it a few years ago and it kept me busy for a while.” And a fourth chimed in: “This is a blast. Good choice.”
One commenter thanked the OP, writing, “I remember seeing this a while ago and have since completely forgotten the name but have thought of it from time to time. Absolutely legendary.”
Even better, Braid is now streaming for free on Tubi – you can watch it here. If you can’t find the movie in your location, try one of the alternate titles, Dying to Play or Nobody Leaves.
