New movies on streaming Resident Evil Primetime Musk, Digi Mart USA News: It is quite a week for new movies on video on demand, with some of the biggest pictures of the year arriving on digital platforms. This week, viewers can catch Robert Pattinson in Primetime, the Lance Oppenheim film about the ethically questionable goings-on behind the scenes of Dateline’s “To Catch A Predator,” and Zach Cregger’s comedic and gory interpretation of Resident Evil.
Also out this week is Musk, the Alex Gibney documentary that Elon Musk reportedly does not want audiences to see, as well as the Mahershala Ali action thriller Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. For a different tone, Lady, the mockumentary starring Fleabag’s Sian Clifford as a narcissistic aristocrat who hires a film crew to follow her, is also available.
These are just a few of the films available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube and through cable services this week. Viewers can check which movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
The latest film in the Resident Evil franchise was directed by Zach Cregger, who previously made Barbarian and Weapons. The new film stars Austin Abrams as a medical courier named Bryan Hodukavich, who battles his way through a sea of infected, mutated people while on a delivery run in Raccoon City.
Zach Cherry, Kalie Reis and Paul Walter Hauser also star.
Directed by documentary filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, who also co-directed the recently released documentary You Can See Everything with Nathan Fielder, in his feature film debut, Primetime stars Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen. Hansen was the journalist who hosted NBC’s “To Catch a Predator” for Dateline NBC from 2004 to 2007, which involved luring alleged sexual predators who were purportedly seeking sex with a minor into a sting operation.
The film arrived on digital platforms this week.
What viewers see above is just a portion of the new movies and shows available this month to those with more than one streaming service subscription. Full lists, schedules and reviews for streaming releases are updated monthly.
