Hag – Movie Review | Tubi (3/5)

HAG on Tubi is a Queer Obsession Thriller. If you’re ready for a fun and wild ride with kitsch and campy elements all over, this is it. A cautionary tale if ever I saw one. Just don’t watch the trailer with its many spoilers. Read our Hag movie review here and find it on Tubi now!

HAG is a new Tubi movie, and this time it’s a campy thriller with an obsessive stalker plot and a queer twist. I have to admit, I feel it’s a wildly missed opportunity to not simply call this movie “Mag the Hag”, but that’s on them.

Regardless of the title, this new Tubi original is a wild ride with a plot that should entertain, if you’re ready to accept its crazy ways. This is full of kitsch, campy, and (obviously!) queer elements. It’s also very sinister in many ways, so it’s not all fun and games. Certainly not for the victims of the story.

Meet Mag the Hag

I know, I know… I just cannot let go of that “Mag the Hag” wordplay. Maybe because this is how the character of Mag introduces herself in one scene, and it just seems like the most obvious title.

Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. The plot of the Tubi movie Hag begins when Rowan needs to find a new roommate. After a decade apart, Mag shows up just as Rowan needs to find a new roommate for his spare room. He doesn’t recognize her, but she remembers him clearly and fondly.

Mag – a self-proclaimed “hag” – is only too happy to move in with Rowan, so they can become best friends. And maybe more, if Rowan is open to that, but she is happy to be a “hag” as well.

Hag stars Ryan de Villiers as Rowan and Jane de Wet (Boy Kills World) as Mag. Also in the cast are Anja Taljaard, Adore Delano, Matthew Vey (Invasive), Darron Meyer (Takeout), and the always amazing Robyn Scott (Slay).

The horror of obsession

While it may seem fun, yet weird, at first, it doesn’t take long before Mag’s obsession with Rowan grows into a very dangerous situation. We’re talking life-or-death in a showdown of almost fabulous proportions.

Despite it not being a queer obsession story, this Tubi movie did make me think of Baby Reindeer with the stalker and obsession plot. Check out our review of Baby Reindeer here >

If you liked Baby Reindeer, then give this one a shot. And if you enjoy Tubi’s Hag and haven’t watched the Netflix series, then you have a huge treat in store. While this Tubi movie is a campy thriller, it does play out like a horror movie in some ways.

Hag was written and directed by Sam Wineman, and it’s his feature film debut. We all know that Tubi also works with fairly low budgets, so I have to say it’s a solid debut. I can’t help but think of the Jem Garrard movies on Tubi, which is a huge compliment to Sam Wineman.

And not just because the two filmmakers use many of the same actors.

If you’re in the mood for something that shouldn’t be taken too seriously, yet deals with a very heavy subject, then check this out on Tubi. Just avoid the trailer, as it has quite a lot of spoilers about this cautionary tale. Hopefully, you don’t have a Mag the Hag in your life. And if you do, this should help you recognize that before it’s too late.

As a queer horror obsession thriller, I think Hag hits a lot of solid notes, and it’s certainly worth checking out on Tubi.

HAG premieres on Tubi on December 12, 2025.
