Glancing at the top films currently streaming on Amazon Prime, there’s the sense that we’re already in deep autumn at the height of scary movie season.
The Actor is a slow, quiet and often dreamlike story about memory and place, reality and artifice.
Black Bag is a refreshingly original take on the spy genre featuring a pairing of great actors as husband-and-wife British spooks whose marital trust issues might compromise national security.
Sinners is Rotten Tomatoes’ critics’ highest scoring vampire film ever, and it’s 2025’s biggest original horror success.
… critics loved the film, but audiences kind of hated it.
The film’s three chapters all involve lots of violence and bloody action.
Reubens was — perhaps unsurprisingly — a kid with a big imagination.
“Companion” shifts through various tones ranging from Sci-Fi to slasher horror, from comedy to romantic drama.
Like any good surf film, The Surfer delivers the goods.
Writer-director Asif Kapadia’s latest film offers viewers a glimpse of an American dystopia of the near future, about 50 years from now. 2073’s opening montage of drones, cameras, bombed-out looking cityscapes and rampant arrests and police brutality plays out while a bit of onscreen text tells viewers that the movie takes place 37 years after “The Event.”
In New San Francisco, Capital of the Americas, everything is covered in dust and rust, and a toxic golden haze fills the air. It’s got none of the charm of a foggy day in the City by the Bay, and all of the trappings of nearly every sci-fi film focused on terrible tomorrows. Beyond the opening, 2073 might feel familiar to viewers because it’s based on French filmmaker Chris Marker’s classic experimental 1962 film, La Jetée. La Jetée was also the inspiration for Terry Gilliam’s film 12 Monkeys.
