If you thought your family had skeletons in the closet, wait until you see what The Inhabitant keeps in the basement.

Viewers love its eerie tension, twisted morality, and deeply uncomfortable family therapy vibes. And that leads to one burning question about its digital whereabouts.
Many viewers are now hunting the internet to see if The Inhabitant is on Netflix, hoping to unleash the horror easily.

Despite what many hopeful horror fans assume, The Inhabitant is not available on Netflix, and the demon involved has no current subscription. Instead, viewers can turn to Hulu, where the 2017 thriller is currently streaming, complete with its spine-tingling basement drama and diabolical chains. Those expecting an easy Netflix binge will have to recalibrate their popcorn schedule and seek darker, less algorithmic corners of the streaming world.
For those who enjoy paying to be terrified, The Inhabitant is also available for rental or purchase on Amazon Video and Apple TV Plus. As if that were not enough, the film has also haunted the shelves of Google Play Movies, Microsoft Store, Redbox, and the ever-reliable exorcist’s toolkit known as YouTube. So, while it may not be sitting pretty on Netflix’s haunted carousel, it has certainly made itself comfortable elsewhere.
While The Inhabitant delivered thrills in spades, there is a far eerier reason it has clawed its way back into public memory.
Why everyone suddenly remembers The Inhabitant
The Inhabitant was always a fine example of ecclesiastical horror with a basement twist, but minute 2:26 turned it into prophecy. At that precise moment, a solemn voice on-screen declares the death of Pope Leo XIV, eight years before the world had ever heard his name, let alone seen white smoke rise above the Vatican. One could blame coincidence, or perhaps the devil simply likes to dabble in screenwriting when not possessing teenage girls.

Adding to the surreal atmosphere, some have noted how Hollywood’s Conclave found its way into discussions around the Vatican’s 2025 papal transition. Still, it is The Inhabitant that has audiences whispering about cinematic foresight. Whether it was divine irony, subconscious scripting, or a well-timed fluke, the film now lives on not just as horror, but as a headline-haunting oddity. Suddenly, what seemed like fiction has become far too familiar.
