A Magical Week of Streaming Awaits!
Dear Disney enthusiasts, get ready to dive into a treasure trove of captivating new films this week on Disney Plus, Hulu, and beyond. While Netflix and Prime Video are taking a breather from new releases, Disney and its affiliates are here to deliver the excitement. Whether you’re into spine-tingling horror, futuristic action-comedy, or insightful documentaries, we’ve got something for everyone!
First up, horror fans, brace yourselves for “The First Omen,” a prequel to the classic 1976 film “The Omen.” Catch this chilling backstory on premium platforms before it finds its way to Hulu. Follow Margaret (played brilliantly by Nell Tiger Free) as she navigates eerie conspiracies in a nunnery, making you question faith and fear alike.
Next, for adrenaline junkies, “Boy Kills World” hits PVOD this week. Imagine “John Wick” meets “Deadpool” with Bill Skarsgård starring as a vengeance-seeking mute protagonist, guided by the voice of H. Jon Benjamin (Bob from “Bob’s Burgers”). Set in a dystopian future, this flick promises nonstop action and a hefty dose of dark comedy.
Turning to a more reflective tone, “Jim Henson: Idea Man” on Disney Plus offers an intimate look at the life and legacy of the puppet master visionary behind “The Muppets” and “Sesame Street.” Directed by Ron Howard and in collaboration with the Henson family, this documentary is a heartwarming tribute filled with unseen footage and personal anecdotes from those who knew him best.
Also arriving on PVOD is Chris Pine’s directorial debut, “Poolman.” While not welcomed with open arms by critics, Pine’s enthusiastic approach might just make it a hidden gem for some. Join his character, Darren Barrneman, as he unravels a convoluted corporate conspiracy in L.A., supported by a stellar cast including Annette Bening and Danny DeVito.
Lastly, sci-fi lovers shouldn’t miss “I.S.S.” on Paramount Plus. This space thriller, set in the claustrophobic confines of the International Space Station, stars Ariana DeBose as tensions rise during a nuclear fallout on Earth. It’s a gripping tale of survival and conflicting orders, ensuring edge-of-your-seat viewing.
