Where to watch: Available to stream on Paramount Plus w/ Showtime

Genre: Horror thriller Run time: 1h 28m Director: Andrew Cumming Cast: Iola Evans, Arno Lüning, Rosebud Melarkey

Remember 2022’s Prey , the Predator prequel about a young warrior named Naru who faces off against an extraterrestrial headhunter? Out of Darkness is a lot like that, but instead of a Comanche woman living in the Great Plains circa 1719, it’s a Stone Age tribe of humans who wash ashore a strange land in search of food. And instead of being hunted by a Predator, they’re being stalked and hunted by... well, something else .

New on Shudder

Where to watch: Available to stream on Shudder

Genre: Period horror Run time: 2h 1m Directors: Severin Fiala, Veronika Franz Cast: Anja Plaschg, Maria Hofstätter, David Scheid

An Austrian-German co-production from Austrian directing duo Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz, The Devil’s Bath follows a young married woman unhappy with her new life. The movie is based on historical research about the practice of “suicide by proxy” in the region in the 17th and 18th centuries.

New on EDGLRD

Aggro dr1ft.

Where to watch: Available to purchase on EDGLRD

Genre: Psychedelic action Run time: 1h 20m Director: Harmony Korine Cast: Jordi Mollà, Travis Scott, Joshua Tilley

What is there to say about AGGRO DR1FT , really? Filmed entirely in infrared photography, Harmony Korine’s latest experimental feature follows a melancholic assassin (Jordi Mollà) on a mission to murder a demonic, katana-wielding crime lord known as “The Beast” in nightmarish Floridian hellscape populated by eccentric gangsters and bikini-clad strippers. It’s a visually abrasive and unconventional film, but is it actually any good?

From our review :

AGGRO DR1FT is an obtuse, ridiculous, headache-inducing movie to watch. It’s nearly impossible to tell whether any moment of the movie is entirely a joke or entirely sincere — it’s called AGGRO DR1FT , for God’s sake. It’s a meaningless phrase, rendered in all capital letters with a 1 standing in for an I; for all we know, it might as well be Travis Scott’s Gamertag. But the movie is more than that too. It’s as clear a depiction of a certain kind of distinctly male-coded interior life as I’ve ever seen, and there is value to making that in such a weirdly unfiltered way. AGGRO DR1FT isn’t an enjoyable or particularly well-made movie, but it is the movie I’ve thought about most this year. For better or worse, that’s worth something.

New to rent

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon , Apple , and Vudu

Genre: Comedy drama Run time: 1h 41m Director: Tony Goldwyn Cast: Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne, Robert De Niro

A struggling comedian takes his autistic son on an impromptu cross-country road trip in a story inspired by screenwriter Tony Spiridakis’ relationship with his own son.

The First Slam Dunk

Genre: Sports drama Run time: 2h 4m Director: Takehiko Inoue Cast: Shugo Nakamura, Jun Kasama, Shinichiro Kamio

Legendary mangaka Takehiko Inoue ( Vagabond , Slam Dunk ) steps up to direct his feature debut based on his critically acclaimed coming-of-age sports manga. Picking up directly after the conclusion of the 1993 anime, The First Slam Dunk follows the Shohoku High School basketball team as they prepare for their biggest challenge yet: facing off against Sannoh Kogyo High for the inter-high school basketball championship.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Genre: Sci-fi action Run time: 2h 28m Director: George Miller Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke

Mad Max director George Miller has returned with another explosive entry in his post-apocalyptic action series. Set an indeterminate amount of years before Mad Max: Fury Road , Anya Taylor-Joy ( The Queen’s Gambit ) stars as Furiosa, a young woman who struggles to reclaim her freedom after being kidnapped by Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), the ruthless leader of an army of bikers. Along the way, she’ll cross paths with Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme), her future boss turned adversary, and Praetorian Jack (Tom Burke), her mentor and ally.

An epic, nearly 20-year saga likely isn’t what most people were expecting from Furiosa , but the approach allows the world to expand in pleasing ways. The MCU-ification of cinema means that franchise blockbusters often reveal characters, important MacGuffins, narrative loose ends, and potential sequel nods in bite-size teases that are less and less likely to lead anywhere . But with Furiosa , Miller widens the scope of the Mad Max landscape exponentially, as characters old and new blast their way onto the screen, giving clearer insight into the setting of the Wasteland, its societal hierarchies, its gasoline-fueled wars, and its steampunk-hued reality.

In a Violent Nature

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon , Apple, and Vudu

Genre: Horror Run time: 1h 34m Director: Chris Nash Cast: Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love

What if there was a slasher movie where everything was seen from the perspective of the killer? Wonder no more, because that’s exactly what director Chris Nash’s new film delivers. In a Violent Nature is easily one of the gnarliest horror movies of the year , with enough gruesome gore to keep your eyes peeled to the screen and your hands firmly gripped on your seat.

Summer Camp

Genre: Comedy Run time: 1h 35m Director: Castille Landon Cast: Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Diane Keaton

Three lifelong friends (Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Diane Keaton) reunite at the summer camp they attended as children in a reunion for attendees. The sprawling ensemble cast also includes Dennis Haysbert, Eugene Levy, Josh Peck, and Nicole Richie.

The Boy and the Heron

Genre: Fantasy drama Run time: 2h 4m Director: Hayao Miyazaki Cast: Soma Santoki, Masaki Suda, Aimyon

After more than a decade, Hayao Miyazaki has returned with a new fantasy follow-up to his 2013 historical drama The Wind Rises . Inspired by Miyazaki’s favorite childhood novel , as well as his own experiences growing up in post-WWII Japan, The Boy and the Heron follows Mahito, a young boy who loses his mother in a tragic fire. After moving to the countryside with his newly remarried father, Mahito crosses paths with a mysterious anthropomorphic bird that entices him with the promise of being reunited with his mother.

On the surface, all of this is par for the course for a Miyazaki film, with trace elements from Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro , or Kiki’s Delivery Service . The confusion starts when viewers try to square that with the parakeets, causality-breaking out-of-time characters, and the heron turning out to be a small gnomelike man wearing a living bird like a suit. Could all those elements be purposeful trolling from a director known for his, to put it delicately, acerbic personality? Maybe, but there seems to be a statement behind the madness: It’s as if Miyazaki is declaring, “This is my life’s work. I don’t care if you’ve enjoyed it. Goodbye.”

The Watchers

Genre: Horror Run time: 1h 42m Director: Ishana Night Shyamalan Cast: Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Olwen Fouéré

Dakota Fanning stars in The Watchers , the debut horror feature from Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night Shyamalan . The film follows Mina, an American immigrant living in western Ireland who is tasked with delivering a parrot to a zoo in Belfast. After losing her way in a vast forest, Mina finds shelter in a strange bunker alongside three other strangers who are being held captive by strange malicious entities who observe them through a mirrored window.

Most of The Watchers ’ appeal comes from all the mysteries in this setup: wondering what the Watchers are and what they want, what secrets the other three captives are hiding, who will inevitably crack first under the pressure the eerie situation puts the group under, and how Mina’s arrival will upset the status quo. The sharp, high-contrast cinematography (from Lamb ’s Eli Arenson) gives these opening chapters a winningly oppressive look, with the golden glow of the Coop extending out into the deep blues and blacks of the nighttime woods. The constant effect of the Coop’s mirrored wall gives the characters an eerie set of duplicates hovering nearby at all times, which Shyamalan and Arenson use to create a hyper-real but still fable-like atmosphere that’s often haunting and unsettling.

The next level of puzzles.
