MATCH is a new Tubi Original, and this horror movie is a well-timed Halloween release. This is a serial killer survival horror movie with an online dating premise and a story matched by Ed Gein, but with reversed roles.

This Tubi horror movie is not for anyone with a weak stomach, as the practical effects hit hard and in so many different ways. Good Lord, I did not see this one coming, but it is definitely a horror movie you’ll want to watch.

A house of horrors

If the fact that Match is a horror movie wasn’t enough reason to release it for Halloween, the actual house of horrors definitely is!

We meet Paola (Humberly González) as she’s trying her luck with online dating. Having matched with the classic “handsome stranger” online, she’s ready to go on a date and see where it can lead.

It turns out, this date will lead her to a house that is full of dark and sinister secrets. Will this be the kind of first date that people end up listening to on true crime podcasts?

Umm, definitely! In fact, she is far from the only victim. The “handsome bachelor” is a character I won’t forget anytime soon. The same goes for his mother, Lucille!

Who is in the Tubi 2025 horror movie Match?

The absolute star and literal poster girl of Match is Humberly González (Waterfront). She’s even holding an actual lit match, to keep in line with the title, which otherwise refers to matching on a dating app.

Of course, she isn’t the only actor in the Tubi horror movies, so let me go over some of her co-stars. We have Shaeane Jimenez, Dianne Simpson, Jacques Adriaanse (Invasive 2: Getaway), and Luke Volker (Clickbait).

Most of these actors have already been in Tubi genre movies, so if you’ve watched a few, you just might recognize them. If you haven’t yet, there may be some movies to add to your watch list.

Still, their characters in this 2025 Tubi horror movie may just be their most memorable yet!

Watch Match on Tubi now

Match was directed by Danishka Esterhazy, and this is far from the first movie of hers, we’ve reviewed her on Heaven of Horror. She is also the director of Killer Body Count, Level 16, and Slumber Party Massacre.

This latest movie is a classic horror slasher with so many brilliant practical effects. Seriously, this Tubi horror movie was such an amazing surprise and the first Halloween treat of 2025.

The screenplay was written by  Jon Kaplan and Al Kaplan, who also gave us Lowlifes. In case you’re not familiar with it, Lowlifes is a horror-comedy and also a Tubi Original. That movie made it onto our list of the best Tubi Originals.

You can skip the trailer for Match (2025) if you want to avoid spoilers completely. However, even the trailer can’t fully prepare you for what you’ll see in the actual movie. I am not going to forget this one anytime soon… and only for delicious horror reasons!

Match premieres on Tubi on October 3, 2025.
