From Netflix and Amazon Prime Video to Sky Cinema and MUBI, let alone day-and-date, premium VOD and home entertainment releases, there are a lot of films out there to choose between. (See our streaming recommendations for what to watch right now.)

Whether you’re looking for trending films to buy and rent or the most popular movies on streaming platforms in the UK, here’s our guide to the best new films to stream this weekend (receive this as a newsletter each weekend here):

1. A House of Dynamite

Kathryn Bigelow’s thriller about America’s response to an unknown nuclear missile attack is a riveting, white knuckle nightmare.

2. The Long Walk

With an invested cast and a streamlined script, this dystopian thriller about teens walking until there’s only one left alive is grim, gripping and hugely moving.

3. The Perfect Neighbor

This harrowing documentary stitched together from police bodycam footage is a tense and timely watch.

4. Companion

Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid are superb in this enjoyably dark comedy-thriller about a robot companion fighting back against their programming.

5. The Monkey

Two committed turns from Theo James anchor this darkly silly and knowingly graphic horror-comedy.
