1. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (MUBI)
As the title implies, Jane Schoenbrun’s meta-slasher explores the way movies – particularly horror movies – shape our sense of self, most notably when it comes to sexual identity. Hannah Einbinder is an emerging filmmaker tasked with rebooting her favorite ‘summer-camp killer’ franchise of her youth, putting her into contact with the series’ reclusive star, played by Gillian Anderson gone full Blanche DuBois. Campy, surreal and supremely horny, it’s one of the year’s best movies. Read Time Out’s review.

2. Evil Dead Burn (HBO Max)
At one point, the Evil Dead brand defined the ‘splatstick’ subgenre of horror. Now, it’s all just splat, and not really the kind prone to put a grin on your face. The franchise’s latest instalment, directed by French extremist Sébastien Vaniček, is the grimmest, most gruesome entry yet – which obviously holds allure for a certain brand of gorehound. A woman mourning the death of her husband retreats to her in-laws’ isolated country home. If you can’t guess what happens next, then maybe you should go back and watch the other movies before proceeding. Read Time Out’s review.

3. The Stranger (Prime)
François Ozon adapts Albert Camus’ existentialist novella, amping up the sensuality and shooting it all in striking black-and-white. A sexy Frenchman (Benjamin Voisin) sleepwalking through life has an affair with a typist (Rebecca Marder), then stands accused of killing an Arab man on a beach. It’s all vibes, really – but they’re immaculate. Read Time Out’s review.

4. The Last One for the Road (Criterion Channel)
In this Italian dramedy, a pair of broke, broken-down and perpetually drunk small-time crooks go on a booze-addled treasure hunt with a reticent young man they take under their wing. Rambling and ramshackle, it’s like a tipsy Waiting for Godot. There are worse ways to spend 100 minutes.

5. SOULM8TE (Hulu)
After the smash leftfield success of 2022’s M3GAN, a multiversal spinoff seemed inevitable. But after the M3GAN sequel flopped hard, this sci-fi erotic thriller sidequest got shunted to streaming. In truth, that’s probably the fate it always deserved as a fairly middling trifle of a movie. A widower in desperate need of something to distract from the loss of his wife invests in an AI lovebot and quickly gets much more than he bargained for. Sure.
