11. Reminders of Him

Another day, another Colleen Hoover novel adaptation, with Reminders of Him set for home release this week. Directed by Vanessa Caswill (Love at First Sight) and co-written by Hoover and Lauren Levine, this drama is all about processing guilt and finding a path forward in unthinkable circumstances. Longlegs star Maika Monroe plays Kenna, a woman who serves time for the vehicular manslaughter of her boyfriend, Scotty (Outer Banks‘ Rudy Pankow).

Having given birth to a daughter named Diem (Zoe Kosovic) in prison, Kenna’s freedom comes with getting to know this now-six-year-old stranger, the apprehension and complexity of reconnecting with Scotty’s parents and best friend Ledger (I Know What You Did Last Summer‘s Tyriq Withers), and the all-too-present consequences of her past. Tear-jerker for sure.* — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor

Starring: Maika Monroe, Tyriq Withers, Rudy Pankow, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford

How to watch: Reminders of Him is begins streaming on Peacock on July 10.

10. The Long Walk

One of several high-profile Stephen King adaptations to be hitting screens this year — hi, The Running Man and IT: Welcome to Derry! — The Long Walk conjures up a nightmarish dystopian future in which the U.S. hosts a yearly death march for young men. The last walker standing wins any wish that their heart desires, but at what cost?

Director Francis Lawrence, who helmed four of the five Hunger Games films, pulls no punches in The Long Walk. The result is a relentlessly bleak saga buoyed by a talented young cast that includes Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, and Ben Wang. Serious emphasis on bleak, as this movie is not for the faint of heart (or anyone looking for a happy watch). As I wrote in my review, “After almost two hours of being immersed in this string of deaths, you may find yourself begging, ‘Enough already!’ The Long Walk, however, does not let up, trapping you in a never-ending nightmare of bloodied feet and fraying minds.” — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Joshua Odjick, Roman Griffin Davis, Josh Hamilton, Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill

How to watch: The Long Walk debuts on HBO Max on July 10.

9. Faces of Death

The absolute nightmare that is content moderation lies at the heart of Faces of Death, the Barbie Ferreira–starring horror that feels way too real. It’s inspired by the 1978 VHS exploitation film or “video nasty” of the same name, which had people unsure whether the extreme violence on screen was real or not. It was banned in several countries — you should really watch British horror film Censor to understand this era of film vetting — but it turns up on the shelf of a character in Daniel Goldhaber’s new film.

But now, we’re in 2026, the age of the internet. The Euphoria star plays Margot, who works not at a movie censorship body but a social media company like TikTok or YouTube. Alongside co-workers (like one played by constant movie star Charli XCX), Margot is part of the department where content is screened against community guidelines and either blocked or left up to feed the attention economy. However, some of those violent videos look super-real, and influencers are going missing…* — S.C.

Starring: Barbie Ferreira, Charli XCX, Jermaine Fowler, Aaron Holliday, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah

How to watch: Faces of Death debuts on Shudder on July 10.

8. Summer Sparks

Hungering for a light-hearted romantic comedy? Roku has got you a seasonal treat with Summer Sparks.

Jesse Metcalfe stars as Adam, a single dad looking to reconnect with his teen son during their time at Camp Evergreen. Perhaps the annual cook-off will prove the perfect place to bond? However, Adam’s craving for competition catches the eye of Monica (Kathryn Davis), a single mom who’s looking to share the camp she loved in her childhood with her own kids. Over cooking and talking childcare, the two develop a spark all their own. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Jesse Metcalfe, Kathryn Davis, and Max Baribeau

How to watch: Summer Sparks is now streaming on Roku.

7. The Man Will Burn

First kicking off in 1986, Burning Man is a week-long event held in the sprawling Nevada desert that becomes a canvas of self-expression for a jubilant community of participants. But while the vibes are party, a lot of planning goes into its mounting each year.

From filmmakers Jehane Noujaim and Vikram Gandhi comes The Man Will Burn, a four-part documentary series that digs into all things Burning Man. As you can see from the trailer, the docuseries will feature interviews with the revelers and the organizers. So, you’ll see the highs, lows, and obstacles that are part of “the burn.” — K.P.

How to watch: The Man Will Burn is now streaming on HBO Max.

6. The Five-Star Weekend

The small-screen adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s novel The Five-Star Weekend arrives on Peacock this week, bringing summery vibes and an all-star cast along with it. Jennifer Garner plays Hollis Shaw, a cook and food blogger trying to recover from a devastating loss. As part of her grieving process, she decides to host a weekend getaway at her Nantucket house. Her guests? Friends from different stages of her life (and one extra surprise invitee), played by D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, and Chloë Sevigny.* — B.E.

Starring: Jennifer Garner, Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan, D’Arcy Carden, Harlow Jane, and Timothy Olyphant

How to watch: The Five-Star Weekend is now streaming on Peacock.

5. The Mountain

If Moana coming to theaters has you craving more stories out of Polynesia, don’t miss The Mountain. Rachel House, who played Moana’s grandmother in the 2016 film, directs this coming-of-age adventure, produced by her Hunt For the Wilderpeople director, Taika Waititi.

Written by House and Tom Furniss, The Mountain centers on Sam (Elizabeth Atkinson), a young Maori girl with cancer and a big plan to defeat it. Tapping into her roots, Sam is convinced that if she summits the Taranaki mountain, communing with nature will heal her. Along the way, she teams up with a couple of misfits, and together this trio of kids treks to a better future. Meanwhile, their parents understandably freak out about their children going AWOL. Funny and bittersweet, this Kiwi offering is a great pick for a family movie night. — K.P.

Starring: Elizabeth Atkinson, Reuben Francis, Terence Daniel, Byron Coll, Troy Kingi, Fern Sutherland, and Sukena Shah

How to watch: The Mountain is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

4. Obsession

Audiences went feral for writer/director Curry Barker’s ultra-creepy Obsession. The film turns rom-com expectations on its head by presenting a lovelorn protagonist named Bear (Michael Johnston), who might seem like a nice guy but is actually the movie’s villain.

Obsessed with his friend Nikki (a riveting Inde Navarrette), he makes a wish that she’ll not only notice him, but will love him more than anyone else. In the way of the mythic monkey’s paw, this wish goes horribly wrong, transforming Bear’s dream girl into a nightmare. Obsession is thoroughly chilling, especially thanks to Navarrette’s harrowing performance. But Barker’s exploration of sexual politics ultimately feels juvenile because of a flubbed final act. As I explained more in-depth in my review, “This makes the finale of Obsession unnerving — not so much for what it shows, but for the empathy it ultimately lacks.”* — K.P.

Starring: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter

How to watch: Obsession is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

3. Backrooms

The concept of the Backrooms began with a 4chan post, which then-teenager Kane Parsons masterfully expanded into a series of extremely viral short horror films. Backrooms is his full-length feature adaptation, and it’s about a bitter furniture shop owner (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who discovers the doorway to another world in the basement of his store. So, does Parsons manage to land the jump to feature? For the most part, yes. Backrooms uses uncanny spaces and an ominous soundscape to chilling effect, dragging us into a world that’s as unsettling as it is endless. The movie’s only real issue is its third act, which loses some tension after we see the face of the thing that’s been chasing the characters through this hellish labyrinth.

“Despite this, Backrooms is still well worth a watch. The ending isn’t enough to spoil what came before,” I wrote in my Mashable review. “If anything, Parsons has managed to prove himself as an incredibly talented emerging filmmaker while also establishing the first chapter in what will surely end up becoming a brand-new horror franchise.”* — Sam Haysom, General Assignment Editor, UK

Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell

How to watch: Backrooms is now available for pre-order on Prime Video.

2. Amores Perros

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s debut feature is over 25 years old now, but it seems to have cemented its place as a cult classic. Running over two-and-a-half hours long, the sprawling drama follows three different sets of characters whose lives are brought together by a car crash in Mexico. To say too much more would probably be doing it a disservice, but the film’s Rotten Tomatoes rating — 93 percent critic, 94 percent audience — pretty much speaks for itself. If it’s been on your list for a while but you haven’t got round to watching it, maybe now’s the time. — S.H.

Starring: Emilio Echevarría, Gael García Bernal, Goya Toledo, Álvaro Guerrero, Vanessa Bauche, Jorge Salinas, Adriana Barraza, and Humberto Busto

How to watch: Amores Perros begins streaming on MUBI on July 10.

Like the books, the TV series introduces the Ingalls family, who uproot their lives in the big woods of Wisconsin and begin a new life on the prairie. The show looks to introduce Wilder’s work to a new generation, but let’s be real: Plenty of adults will also be checking it out to make sure it stays true to the story they grew up loving.* — B.E.

Starring: Alice Halsey, Skywalker Hughes, Luke Bracey, and Crosby Fitzgerald

How to watch: Little House on the Prairie is now streaming on Netflix.
