Here are the movies and shows that should be on your radar this weekend (4/19):

Late Night with The Devil (2023). Streaming on Shudder. This supernatural horror movie centers around a late-night talk show in 1977. During a live broadcast, evil is accidentally unleashed into living rooms across America. It looks to be inspired by Ghostwatch (1992), a live mockumentary that terrified Brits when it aired live on Halloween night. You might want to dive into our list of demonic possession movies afterward.

Lowlifes (2024). Streaming on Tubi. A horror thriller about a family on a road trip who are forced to stay the night at a remote homestead.

Glass (2019). Streaming on Netflix. The third in a series of superhero films by M. Night Shyamalan, Glass is the end to the story begun in Unbreakable (2000) and continued in Split (2016). Unbreakable establishes David Dunn (Bruce Willis) as a superhero and Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) as a villain, Split establishes Kevin Wendell Crumb as another villain and Glass sees all three confined to a psychiatric institution. While their doctor is convinced the trio are delusional, Elijah remains convinced they really are superhumans. Split is also on Netflix, but you’ll have to venture over to Max to watch Unbreakable.

The Stranger (2024). Streaming on Hulu. This Maika Monroe crime thriller has a sketchy origin story: it was a series on the doomed short-form streaming platform Quibi. After Quibi shuttered, it was cobbled into a 97-minute film and sold to Hulu. Originally, each 10-minute episode represented an hour of time in the story, which begins at 7pm and ends at 7am. Monroe stars as a rideshare driver who picks up the wrong passenger.

Killing Eve (2018-2022). Streaming on Netflix. All four seasons of the critically acclaimed British spy series are now on Netflix. Sandra Oh stars as a British intelligence worker whose job is to track down the assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). As a game of cat and mouse commences, both women become obsessed with each other.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster (2023). Streaming on Hulu. A sci-fi horror movie that is an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Laya DeLeon Hayes stars as Vicaria, a seventeen-year-old genius with good intentions. She believes that death can be “cured” and reanimates her recently deceased brother. This film made the top 20 out of our ranking of over 100 horror movies that came out in 2023.

The Crazies (1973). Streaming on Tubi. This week’s deep cut pick is a sci-fi horror movie that might be familiar to younger viewers via the 2010 remake with Timothy Olyphant. George A. Romero’s original takes place in rural Pennsylvania where residents are becoming infected by the contents of a bioweapon after a plane carrying the agent crashed in the area.
