It's the season to stay indoors and catch up on the latest releases on the Best Streaming Services. If you're wondering what to watch next, we've hand-picked the Best New Movies just Streaming to make your next movie night one to remember.
Leading the way this week are two blockbusters that hit paid video-on-demand services. The super-powerful free Venom: The Last Dance and the psychological horror thriller Heretic, which pits Hugh Grant against type. Elsewhere, Joker: A Folie a Deux makes its streaming debut on Max after disappointing box office results, Carry On, a rare Christmas thriller on Netflix, and Hulu's most timely satirical movie ever. A dark comedy has arrived.
So without further ado, let's take a look at the best new movies available to stream.
You've heard of Christmas romantic comedies, but what about a Christmas thriller? Netflix's Carry-On will give you an adrenaline rush to warm you up when the weather outside is terrible. Taron Egerton (Rocketman, Kingsman) stars as Ethan Kopech, a TSA agent who is blackmailed by a mysterious traveler (Jason Bateman) into letting a dangerous package pass through security on Christmas Day.
With past projects like "Nonstop" and The Commuter, Carry On director Jaume Collet-Serra has made a name for himself with this kind of one-location thriller. Between the pairing of two action megastars like Egerton and Bateman and a strange premise that just goes off the rails and just works, Netflix is preparing a must-see movie for the upcoming holiday season. Possibly.
I'm a big fan of the movie Venom. It features the creepy antics and bromance of Eddie Brock and Venom (both played by Tom Hardy). Venom: The Last Dance is billed as the third and final film, but it's definitely the most troubling, with its mid-credits and post-credits scenes opening the door to further developments. Still, it's a fun watch if you keep your expectations in check.
Bullock is still on the run after a conflict with Carnage that resulted in the murder of former police detective Patrick Mulligan (Stephen Graham) at the end of the second film. He and Venom head to New York to prove their innocence, but along the way they uncover a world-destroying plot and a host of other symbiotes who become unwilling allies during a massive, overblown final battle. do.
The Heretic easily ranks among my favorite movies of the year. Mainly because Hugh Grant plays a surprisingly charming and chilling villain. He plays Mr. Reed, a recluse who welcomes two Mormon missionaries, played by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, into his home, leading to a deadly cat-and-mouse game as his true sinister intentions are revealed.
Though this psychological horror thriller takes its time before the real action begins, its lengthy first half is still gripping and deeply unsettling to watch thanks to the all-too-real tensions faced by a young woman befriending a potentially dangerous man. The Heretic stands out alongside the likes of The Invisible Man and Get Out as a thought-provoking horror film that even non-horror fans should add to their watchlist.
The Joker sequel that nobody asked for is coming to Max, but it's up to you to decide if Joker: Folie à Deux is worth the hate. Directed by Todd Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck. Arthur Fleck is in Arkham custody while awaiting trial for the dramatic murder on live TV that marked the end of the first film.
Life in prison and struggling with a dual identity has taken a heavy toll. But things start to turn around when he meets Harleen "Lee" Quinzel (Lady Gaga) during a music therapy session, only to discover that she is just as deceived as he is. As Arthur's trial progresses, the two begin a twisted romance, but things are not what they seem, especially as the proceedings take a deadly turn.
Starring Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, this must-see thriller revolves around the secret process of electing a new Pope. Following the sudden death of the Pope from a heart attack, he is tasked with convening the Catholic Church in Vatican City to hold an election to determine its next leader.
As four leading candidates each outline their claims for the future of the church, Lawrence, who has recently suffered a crisis of faith, discovers a skeletal remains in the former pope's closet -- A shocking revelation that could not only shake up the election, but the very foundations of the church itself. Conclave features a cast of outstanding talents, including Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow, who, along with Lawrence's captivating character, will keep you hooked until the very end.
Mouse's latest documentary on the streaming service follows Elton John's incredible 50-year career as he prepares for his final North American concert at Dodger Stadium. He recounts the triumphs and struggles of his formative years, detailing how he battled adversity, abuse and addiction before emerging as an icon. Archival clips, excerpts from personal diaries and never-before-seen footage give fans a front-row seat to the superstar's iconic moments, including his historic 1970 performance at the Troubadour club in Los Angeles, writing and performing Tiny Dancer live, and John Lennon's final concert.
This dark comedy about class warfare and infectious disease is more fun than it sounds. Written and directed by Austin Stark and Joseph Schumann, Coup! is a delicious satire about bourgeois hypocrisy during a pandemic -- no, we're not talking about that, but rather the 1918 flu.
Peter Sarsgaard stars as a mysterious con man named Floyd Monk, who turns up at a secluded island mansion claiming to be the wealthy family's new chef. As the plague begins to spread through the isolated shelter, Monk convinces the remaining staff to lead a rebellion against patriarch Jay Hornton (Billy Magnussen), and a game of wits between master and servant escalates into class warfare.
