Abigail | Stream from Thursday, 20 March
The ransom was $50 million. The job was simple: watch the girl overnight. But by morning, half the crew is dead and the rest are about to learn the hard way that Abigail is no ordinary child.
A #1 box office hit with an 83% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Abigail takes the vampire genre and rips it apart with blood-soaked chaos. Rising star Alisha Weir (Matilda the Musical) delivers a bone-chilling performance, earning Critics Choice and Saturn Award nominations for Best Younger Actor. With Kathryn Newton (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Freaky) and Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) rounding out the cast, this twisted, high-energy horror film will keep you guessing and gasping until the very last drop.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes | Stream from Monday, 24 March
Before he was President Snow, he was just a young man trying to survive in a world designed to crush him. Set 64 years before Katniss Everdeen’s rebellion, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes follows Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) as he mentors Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) in the 10th Hunger Games. But in Panem, survival isn’t just about brute strength—it’s about strategy, showmanship, and knowing exactly when to strike.
Hailed by USA Today as “the best Hunger Games movie of them all”, the film won Action Movie of the Year at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, with Zegler also taking home Action Movie Star of the Year. Featuring a powerhouse cast including Oscar winner Viola Davis, four-time Emmy winner Peter Dinklage, and Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), this prequel proves that before there was tyranny, there was ambition.
