While movie theaters are buzzing with new releases like the Michael Jackson biopic Michael and the video game sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, sometimes the best seat in the house is your own couch. Prime Video has you covered with a trio of films that range from spine-tingling horror to heartfelt animation. Here's what to watch this weekend.
1. 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' (2025)
If you're in the mood for a good scare, The Conjuring: Last Rites just landed on Prime Video and is ready to haunt your weekend. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as the iconic paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren in what's being called the case that ended their careers. Directed by Michael Chaves, this film pulls out all the horror stops, delivering a terrifying conclusion to the main Conjuring franchise. It was a massive box office hit, earning $500 million worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing horror film of 2025. Even if Halloween is months away, it's never too early for a fright night.
2. 'Regretting You' (2025)
Before the upcoming Anne Hathaway-led adaptation of Colleen Hoover's Verity, check out this divisive but entertaining adaptation of another Hoover novel. Regretting You, directed by Josh Boone, follows a mother and daughter whose lives are shattered by a tragic accident, leading to the discovery of dark secrets. Despite some predictable dialogue and mixed critical reviews, the film is a pure indulgence in drama and twists. The star-studded cast includes Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco, and Scott Eastwood. It's a guilty pleasure that audiences have embraced, making it a perfect weekend watch.
3. 'The Last Unicorn' (1982)
For animation fans, The Last Unicorn is a timeless classic now streaming on Prime Video. Written by the original author Peter S. Beagle, the film follows a unicorn (voiced by Mia Farrow) who discovers she is the last of her kind and embarks on a quest to find answers. Joined by a bumbling magician (Alan Arkin) and a former bandit (Tammy Grimes), she confronts the king who drove her species into the sea. With a stunning soundtrack and gorgeous hand-drawn visuals, this film is a touching exploration of loss and immortality. It's a forgotten gem that deserves rediscovery, especially for fans of fantasy and animation.
