Bite Size Terror Has 10 New Nightmares Waiting on Tubi

The Deep End

“Come watch what I can do in the pool” has rarely sounded this threatening.

A babysitting job takes a deeply wrong turn when a child asks to have his underwater trick timed in The Deep End. He eventually resurfaces, which should be the reassuring part. Instead, he's silent, unblinking, and apparently not quite the same kid who went under. Jessi Mechler and Beau Foxx get stuck figuring out what exactly came back from the bottom while writer-director J. Zachary Thurman makes the backyard pool somewhere we'd suddenly prefer to observe through a window.

Swimming privileges revoked.

Marisol

Sometimes grief makes breaking one family rule feel worth the risk.

After losing her older sister, teenager Marisol ignores a taboo at the funeral in hopes of reaching her one more time. Something answers. Whether it's actually the person she wanted is where Marisol becomes a much worse idea. Jessie Mae Alonzo, Lourdes Faberes, and Kim Adis step into a nightmare scripted by Host writer Jed Shepherd and directed by Jill Sachs.

Wanting one more conversation is understandable. Horror is notoriously bad at checking who's on the other end.

Kachina

Today's makeover assignment: beautiful desert rental, great natural light, sacred family object you were specifically told not to disrespect. Surely nobody will choose option three.

Chloe Ray's home-décor influencer learns why some properties should be left exactly as the owner arranged them in Kachina, where turning a rental into content means crossing a line she doesn't understand until the consequences get bloody. Writer-director Boise Esquerra brings sacred tradition into collision with influencer entitlement, with puppeteer Benjamin Michael Bayouth and Dillon Wolf Oleata helping make one particular family doll much less decorative than expected.

Maybe the before photo was fine.

Resonance

Most people cleaning out a late parent's home find old photographs, paperwork, and at least one drawer nobody has opened since 2004. Maddy finds an experiment.

Her father's device in Resonance sends a signal through water capable of turning exposed people into vessels for something decidedly inhuman. Suddenly deciding what to do with Dad's belongings has escalated well beyond the donation pile. Glenda MacInnis and Andy McQueen inherit the consequences in writer-director Mark Lammerding's contribution to the anthology.

Some family heirlooms belong in storage. This one might need containment.

Mother Marrow

“How well do you know your partner?” Cute question. “How much does your relationship deserve to survive?” Slightly more concerning.

An old matchmaking card game turns a young couple's rental-RV getaway into couples therapy administered by something they absolutely did not book in Mother Marrow. Every question demands another confession, and eventually the pair realizes the game isn't merely interested in honesty. It's judging them. Haley Gauthier, Eric Palmer, and Marquel Skinner get the relationship test from hell, with Jake and Conor Lawler writing and Charlie Schwan directing.

Date night has become weirdly performance-based.

Sucker

Getting bitten by a bat while working at a motel is already enough reason to update the résumé. Developing a taste for blood afterward really seals it.

Sucker gives Jiana Nicole's broke motel clerk an unexpected new appetite just as a guest carrying a valuable antique introduces the possibility of upgrading her usual petty scams. Bigger score. Bigger risk. More convenient access to potential victims. Michael Brunlieb and Thomas Kelly join the increasingly predatory customer-service experience, while writer-director Katelyn Douglass handles the night's extremely unofficial employee development program.

Please enjoy your stay. Checkout may involve blood loss.

Marissa’s Office

Beth has answered the emails. Managed the schedule. Watched ambitious young women cycle through the office. Waited patiently for somebody to notice she's already doing considerably more than her title suggests. Patience has left the building.

Sara Silva takes Beth's career frustration somewhere body horror was probably the only genre qualified to follow in Marissa's Office. With Heather Lind opposite her, writer-director Chaconne Martin-Berkowicz turns chasing a promotion into something much more literal as Beth decides her own body may be one more resource available for professional advancement.

Please circle back after she's finished transforming.

Book Club

Making friends as an adult is hard enough without an initiation ritual. Nobody mentioned that on the invitation.

A painfully polite newcomer joins the aspirational suburban group at the center of Book Club and discovers belonging comes with increasingly uncomfortable requirements. Every escalation offers another opportunity to leave. Unfortunately, saying no is exactly the skill she hasn't mastered yet. Writer-director Hannah Alline surrounds her with an ensemble including Brit MacRae, Bethany Anne Lind, Mabel Thomas, Annie Jacob, Tenea Intriago, Najah Bradley, and Kevin Johnson.

Required reading: boundaries.

Come Home

A lonely kid finds something that makes his apartment feel like home again. Unfortunately, it requires offerings.

Felix Paz wanders the city collecting sacrifices for the creature waiting inside in Come Home, receiving brief moments of comfort in return. The arrangement turns loneliness into something exploitable: if belonging finally feels within reach, how much are you willing to keep feeding the thing providing it? Minos Nevradakis and Malina Manovici join him in a story co-written by Mateo Braun Costa and Eduardo Braun Costa, with Eduardo directing.

This one isn't merely coming for our nerves. Our feelings appear to be on the menu too.

Floral Remains

Some people inherit jewelry. Iris gets a flower shop capable of making grief much harder to move past.

Returning to her late mother's business gives Iris one final place to feel close to her in Floral Remains. Except the shop doesn't merely arrange flowers. It preserves the dead in bloom, making “one last message” seem dangerously close to possible. Courtney Taylor, Jamela Asha, and Susan Louise O'Connor enter Jasmine J. Johnson's floral nightmare, where refusing to let go can apparently become very literal.

Beautiful arrangement. Deeply concerning return policy.
