Set in the Australian wilderness, Apex follows a rock climber who heads into the wild in search of solitude, only to find herself trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a serial killer.
With Charlize Theron in full survival-thriller mode, Apex is a tense, stripped-down action story that leans hard into suspense and the dangers of its setting. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, the film has the makings of a high stakes chase thriller for anyone in the mood for something intense and propulsive.

Director: Josh Safdie
Released on Streaming: April 24, 2026
Marty Supreme follows Marty Mauser, a scrappy and ambitious young man chasing greatness in the unlikely world of professional table tennis in 1950s New York.
A sharp, character-driven sports drama, Marty Supreme blends dark humor, intensity and emotional depth in a way that feels electrifying. Anchored by an Oscar-nominated performance from Timothée Chalamet, the film has been widely praised as one of the year’s standout releases, with storytelling and energy as bold and restless as its central character.

‘No Other Choice’
Rating: R
Genre: Thriller, Drama
Cast: Park Hae-il, Bae Doona, Lee Byung-hun
Director: Park Chan-wook
Released on Streaming: April 24, 2026
No Other Choice follows a man pushed to the brink after losing his job, as desperation slowly gives way to darker, more dangerous impulses. What begins as a quiet struggle to regain control of his life spirals into something far more tense and unpredictable, where every decision carries irreversible consequences.
A tightly wound thriller from Park Chan-wook, No Other Choice blends the director’s signature sharp social commentary with psychological tension and dark humor, resulting in a gripping, morally complex story that lingers long after it ends.
‘Good Boy’
Rating: R
Genre: Horror
Cast: Indy, Shane Jensen, Arielle Friedman, Larry Fessenden
Director: Ben Leonberg
Released on Streaming: April 25, 2026
Good Boy follows a loyal dog who moves with his owner into a remote countryside home, only to sense that something isn’t right. As strange and increasingly sinister events begin to unfold, the dog becomes hyper-aware of a presence his owner cannot see—forcing him to act as protector as the threat closes in. A fresh take on the haunted house genre, Good Boy stands out by telling its story largely from the dog’s perspective.
