1. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (Netflix)
Picking up from the polarising ending of last year’s 28 Years Later, director Nia DaCosta had her work cut out for her, but managed to turn in a stopgap sequel that’s nonetheless a brutally entertaining spectacle. In contrast to Danny Boyle’s more ruminative precursor, DaCosta dials up the gore – and the Iron Maiden - without losing sight of the humanist touch that makes the don’t-call-them-zombies franchise so singular. No joke: Ralph Fiennes, as the iodine-slathered Dr Ian Kelson, delivers perhaps the best performance of the young year so far. Read Time Out’s review.

2. The Testament of Ann Lee (Hulu/Disney+)
Strange, ravishing and rhapsodic, there aren’t many movies like Mona Fastvold’s historical drama about the Shaker religious sect, let alone movie musicals. Amanda Seyfried is mothering, in more than one sense of the term, as the movement’s impassioned founder, whose acolytes expressed devotion through convulsive, caterwauling fits of praise, which Fastvold renders like Busby Berkeley dance numbers. A truly unique experience. Read Time Out’s review.

3. The Housemaid (Starz)
It’s Amanda Seyfried Week on streaming. The Testament of Ann Lee is her best performance, but this sublimely trashy and twisty erotic thriller is the one everyone saw. Like, everyone – the movie made a startling amount of money at the box office. Seyfried is a wealthy Long Island woman who hires Sydney Sweeney as her live-in housemaid. Both have sketchy pasts, but which one is truly dangerous? Don’t overthink it – just give yourself a party pour of wine and lock in.

4. Crime 101 (Prime)
Is it reheated Heat? Sure. Is that such a bad thing, though? Directed by Bart Layton, best known for documentaries The Imposter and American Animals, it’s a stylish, if straightforward, heist thriller, starring Chris Hemsworth as a jewel thief working along the 101 freeway in Los Angeles, fending off various adversaries and other complications as he plans one final job. Standard-issue, sure, but it has confident performances and a strong sense of place, which in crime flicks is half the battle. Read Time Out’s review.
5. Pizza Movie (Hulu/Disney+)
How do you break out of the box of a monocultural phenomenon like Stranger Things and transition from kid-actor to actor-actor? A drug comedy is certainly one way. Gaten Matarazzo, better known to the wider world as the Hawkins Hellfire Club’s lisping wiseacre Dustin Henderson, is a college kid who, along with his dormmate (The Goldbergs’ Sean Giambrone), ends up tripping so hard one night it turns the simple act of going downstairs to retrieve a pizza into a nightmarish misadventure. Harold and Kumar, you’re on notice.
