1. Lurker (HBO Max)
A retail worker in Los Angeles somehow worms his way into the inner circle of a rising young pop star – but proximity to fame turns out to be a hell of a drug. One of last year’s underseen surprises, Alex Russell’s psychological thriller plays like Gen Z Polanski and has a creeptastic lead performance from Théodore Pellerin.
2. Marty, Life is Short (Netflix)
Martin Short gets the hagiography he deserves in a career-spanning documentary from director Lawrence Kasdan (Body Heat, The Big Chill). Anything that gets Jiminy Glick back on television is a worthy endeavor.

3. The Punisher: One Last Kill (Disney+)
The phrases ‘One Last Kill’ and ‘Disney’ don’t really fit together, but alas, John Bernthal is returning as brooding ass-kicker Frank Castle for this 48-minute mini-movie full of blood, beatings and extremely dodgy CGI.

4. The Crash (Netflix)
In a small Ohio town in 2022, a car travelling 100 mph slammed into a brick building, killing two of the three teenagers inside. Was it a terrible accident or premeditated murder? The latest entry to Netflix’s true-crime canon investigates.

5. Something is About to Happen (Shudder)
In this Spanish-Romanian mindbender, a programmer turned cab driver in Madrid finds herself descending into madness after her neighbor vanishes. At a glance, director Antonio Méndez Esparza’s genre-mashing thriller looks far from the typical Shudder fare.
