1. Send Help (Hulu)
Bloody Sam is back. After a decade of IP work, Sam Raimi returns to what he knows best: a broad, gross and wickedly entertaining horror-adjacent survival thriller. Amy Adams and Dylan O’Brien are perfectly calibrated as work enemies – she’s the weird lady from accounting strategy and planning, he’s her nepo-baby douchebag boss – who end up stranded on a deserted island together, where the power dynamic immediately flips… then flips, then flips again, until it’s impossible to tell who you should be rooting for, if anyone.

2. Greenland 2: Migration (HBO Max)
The first Greenland was a standout disaster flick, with Gerard Butler and family heading to the land mass soon to be renamed Donald Trump Island after an extinction-level event in hopes of securing a spot in a rumoured underground bunker. In the not-entirely-necessary sequel, it’s a few years down the line, and the ongoing environmental catastrophe has forced Butler and his clan to seek a new shelter. It bombed pretty hard and was less well-received, but for the genre, it’s still uncommonly interested in its characters, placing the theme of familial bonds above empty spectacle.

3. We Bury the Dead (Hulu)
An unusually probing and emotional zombie flick, Zak Hildritch’s grief-horror chiller is worthy of sitting alongside the ambitious likes of 28 Years Later, while still being more of a straight-up gore-and-scares genre movie. Daisy Ridley is excellent as a woman searching for her husband in Tasmania after a US weapons test accidentally destroys the capital city of Hobart and the dead mysteriously start to rise. It’s dour and disturbing, but leans further into the idea of the undead deep-down being human after all.

4. Remarkably Bright Creatures (Netflix)
In this adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s 2022 bestseller, Sally Field is the recently widowed caretaker of a local aquarium who finds new purpose in her friendship with both a young man searching for his estranged father (Lewis Pullman) and an octopus named Marcellus. Also: the octopus narrates via the voice of Doc Ock himself, Alfred Molina. (Typecast much?) Your grandma will love it.
