Scream 7, Psycho Killer, and More Hit Streaming Platforms This Weekend
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A roundup of the biggest new movie releases hitting streaming platforms and VOD this weekend, including Scream 7 on Paramount Plus, Psycho Killer on Hulu, and Andy Serkis's Animal Farm adaptation.
For players taking a much-needed break from the latest battle pass grind or weekend raid progression, the streaming lineup this weekend offers plenty of horror and drama to dive into. According to a recent report by Polygon, Paramount Plus has officially added Scream 7 following its theatrical run. The latest sequel brings Neve Campbell back into the fold alongside a new generation of survivors, though the film opts for a more straightforward horror tone rather than the heavy meta commentary the franchise is usually known for. Meanwhile, Hulu is welcoming Psycho Killer, a genre-bending throwback from screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker that blends classic slasher tropes with cross-country cat-and-mouse tension.
Beyond the horror blockbusters, home screens are getting a dose of heavy-hitting drama and unexpected adaptations. Andy Serkis has finally released his long-in-development take on George Orwell's Animal Farm, which arrives on VOD with a surprisingly hopeful spin and voice work from Gaten Matarazzo. VOD platforms are also hosting unique indie fare, including a bizarre horror-comedy about a Florida man and a monstrous mermaid, alongside Dead Man's Wire, a dramatization starring Bill Skarsgård that explores a historic hostage standoff.
For the community, weekend watchlist planning is just as important as queuing up the squad for a Friday night gaming session. Whether you are unwinding on the couch with a tablet or streaming movies through your console while waiting for lobby queues, this weekend's digital storefront drops provide plenty of options. You can check out the full breakdown and original reviews over at Polygon.
