Several new films are now available for home viewing, spanning genres from horror to documentary. This week's notable releases include "Evil Dead Burn," "The Last House" on Netflix, and Angelina Jolie's latest drama, "Couture."
"Evil Dead Burn," directed by Sébastien Vaniček, is available for rent. The film continues the "Evil Dead" franchise with a distinct visual style and dynamic camerawork. It centers on a woman facing a Deadite threat that hits close to home following her husband's death. A review noted that while the script could be improved, the film offers exciting technical moments, with dynamic camera movements and sequences that present classic horror encounters in fresh ways.
Netflix has added "The Last House," a science fiction film starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura. The movie follows a family confined to their home by an unknown force, dealing with dwindling resources and psychological strain. The film's setting, a meticulously designed house, contributes to a claustrophobic atmosphere that serves as a constant reminder of the outside world. The trailer reportedly encapsulates how a familiar space can become a source of horror.
Angelina Jolie stars in "Couture," a drama available for rent. Directed by Alice Winocour, the film follows three women—a filmmaker, a model, and a makeup artist—during Paris Fashion Week. The movie is part of Jolie's recent return to prominent film roles.
Other new releases include "Big Baby," a horror film about a screenwriter whose nightmares blur with his work, also available for rent. "You, Me & Tuscany," a romance, can be streamed on Peacock. The horror film "The Gates" is available on Prime Video, following college friends who witness a murder in a gated community. "A Poet," a Colombian comedy that premiered at Cannes, is on Mubi. The thriller "The Run," set in a post-apocalyptic world facing a fertility crisis, is available for rent.
