Is ‘Fear’ Streaming on HBO Max or Netflix?

Halloween may have been months ago, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate horror movies all year round! As the first film to drop from Hidden Empire Film Group’s new distribution company, Hidden Empire Releasing, Deon Taylor’s Fear is set to make its theatrical debut this week.

Starring Joseph Sikora, Andrew Bachelor and Annie Ilonzeh, this movie follows a group of friends who are each forced to face their worst fears while taking a weekend vacation.

Where can you watch Fear? Will it be on HBO Max? What about Netflix? Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH FEAR:

As of now, the only way to watch Fear is to head out to a movie theater when it premieres on Friday, Jan. 27. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Amazon, Vudu, YouTube or Apple.

WHEN WILL FEAR BE ON STREAMING?

Since a digital release date has not been announced yet, it’s hard to say when Fear will be available to rent or buy. But based on a previous Hidden Empire Film Group movie like The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2 (2021), which was released in theaters on June 11, 2021 and came to digital platforms on July 9, 2021, we can guess that you may be able to watch from the comfort of your home by late February or early March.

WILL FEAR BE ON HBO MAX?

No, Fear will not be on HBO Max since it is not a Warner Bros. movie. Last year, the company dropped its movies on the streamer the same day they premiered in theaters. However, they have since stopped and like many others have started allowing a 45-day window between the theatrical debut and the streaming release.

WILL FEAR BE ON NETFLIX?

No, Fear will not be on Netflix —  at least not any time soon. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to theaters or wait until it becomes available on digital.
