December has come and gone, and with it has the season of levity and Christmas motion pictures, making approach for Prime Video subscribers to enterprise into a really totally different route. After a month of lighter releases, I believe the easiest way to start out 2026 with a fantastic number of Prime Video motion pictures is to go darker with our movie binge.
To that finish, I’ve chosen three horror motion pictures, one in all which can also be a part of an iconic Sci-Fi franchise, to get the blood pumping with a wholesome dose of adrenaline as we enter the brand new 12 months. 2026’s upcoming motion pictures embrace fairly a number of horror and Sci-Fi releases, so I really feel like this weekend’s checklist on Prime Video prepares viewers for what’s to come back.

Zombieland: Double Faucet (2019)
Beginning the checklist is Zombieland: Double Faucet, which is the right film to bridge the hole between the lighter Christmas season and January. The movie is the sequel to the Zombieland franchise’s hit debut, bringing again the core forged of Woody Harrelson as Tallahassee, Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus, Emma Stone as Wichita, and Abigail Breslin as Little Rock.
The characters’ chemistry continues to be electrical, and seeing them older and extra developed after years within the zombie apocalypse is rewarding. With the addition of Zoey Deutch’s Madison, who proves herself a complete scene-stealer, the sequel is in some way even funnier than the unique movie. Additionally, anticipate loads of gory motion scenes with zombie guts.

Alien: Romulus (2024)
Like Zombieland: Double Faucet, Alien: Romulus additionally mixes two genres. Nevertheless, as an alternative of being comedy and horror, the movie is a part of the Alien franchise, with its Sci-Fi themes serving to improve the scope of the film and likewise create an excellent larger sense of dread with regards to the horror.
Alien: Romulus is led by one in all Hollywood’s hottest up-and-comers, Cailee Spaeny, who’s a relatable, pushed, and brave protagonist worthy of holding the torch as soon as held by Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley. For informal Alien followers, Romulus can also be a must-watch, because it explains that the Xenomorph from Alien survived.

Last Vacation spot Bloodlines (2025)
Lastly, the final film in our three-film binge is the return of the Last Vacation spot franchise. I had a good time with this franchise rising up, which ranged from being completely scared by its ugly deaths to having enjoyable attempting to foretell all of the intricate methods characters might die or cheat demise.
Last Vacation spot Bloodlines doesn’t take itself too significantly, and it finally ends up being an infinitely fulfilling return for the franchise. Its opening sequence, led by Stargirl‘s Brec Bassinger, is definitely the most effective set items within the franchise, and the entire film is a thrill journey. It should go away Prime Video subscribers’ adrenaline excessive going into the week.
