Scarlett Johansson stars as a covert ops specialist, trying to keep everyone alive during the mission. The movie blends science fiction and action, and it’s directed by Gareth Edwards.
New on HBO Max: Freaky Tales
Freaky Tales arrives on HBO Max with an action-comedy vibe. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the film is an anthology of four interconnected stories based on real events in 1987 Oakland, California. Pedro Pascal plays a criminal who wants to leave his gang, but things get complicated when the group targets the home of a Golden State Warriors player. The cast also includes Ben Mendelsohn and Jay Ellis, making it a must-watch for fans of genre mashups.
Horror and Thrills: The Monkey and Clown in a Cornfield
If you like your movies with a side of scares, The Monkey on Hulu is based on a Stephen King short story. Directed by Osgood Perkins, it follows estranged twins who reunite when a cursed windup toy starts a new wave of gruesome deaths. Theo James and Tatiana Maslany lead the cast, with the film mixing horror and dark comedy.
Meanwhile, Clown in a Cornfield is now streaming on Shudder and AMC+. This slasher flick, adapted from Adam Cesare’s YA horror novel, features a murderous clown mascot terrorizing a small Missouri town. The story follows a group of teens trying to survive and uncover the town’s dark secrets.
New to Rent: Abraham’s Boys, The Accountant 2, and More
On VOD, Abraham’s Boys reimagines the Dracula story as a family drama. Titus Welliver stars as Abraham Van Helsing, a strict father convinced an ancient evil is after his family. The movie, directed by Natasha Kermani, is based on a short story by Joe Hill.
The Accountant 2 sees Ben Affleck return as a criminal bookkeeper, teaming up with his assassin brother (Jon Bernthal) for more action-packed crime drama. The film, directed by Gavin O’Connor, is the sequel to the 2016 cult hit and promises more high-stakes financial crimes.
Animale brings a unique twist to the horror genre. Directed by Emma Benestan, it follows Nejma, a young woman competing in a modern bullfighting contest in the South of France. As men begin turning up dead, Nejma’s main concern is the fate of a bull being blamed for the killings. This feminist body-horror film stars Oulaya Amamra and Damien Rebattel.
