This weekend, curl up with a survival movie that asks just one thing of the audience: you must love dogs. That’s the big thing with Brad Pitt’s new thriller Heart of the Beast; it’s like Castaway, but instead of a volleyball with a face, there’s a German Shepherd. That’s just one of the big movies that’s new on VOD this week. Also arriving to digital is the creepy thriller Other Mommy, starring Jessica Chastain, and the British import The Incomer.
Domhnall Gleeson stars in The Incomer as Daniel, a man who arrives on a remote, sparsely populated Scottish island to remove its two inhabitants, siblings Isla (House of the Dragon‘s Gayle Rankin) and Sandy (Grant O’Rourke), who are vaguely feral and not at all welcoming to their unwanted visitor. A huge hit on the festival circuit, the film arrived this week on digital platforms.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
Heart of the Beast is one part survival thriller, one part homage to man’s best friend. The film stars Brad Pitt as a retired Army Special Forces veteran named James Belmont, who is caring for his military combat dog Odin. Both James and Odin have PTSD from the trauma of combat, and after their plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, they must endure the elements and escape predators in order to survive. The film arrived on digital platforms this week.
Jessica Chastain’s supernatural horror Other Mommy was largely derided by critics, but fans ate up her dual-role performance as a mother whose daughter was tormented by a malevolent maternal doppelganger she called “other Mommy.” See it for yourself if you missed it in theaters; it arrived on digital platforms this week.
