Joe Keery stars in the new fungal horror comedy Cold Storage, headlining a busy weekend of streaming and VOD releases that also features Alan Ritchson in the sci-fi action thriller War Machine.
If your weekend plans involve kicking back on the couch after marathon gaming sessions, a fresh lineup of streaming and VOD releases offers plenty of cinematic distraction. Leading the pack is Cold Storage, a new horror comedy starring Joe Keery of Stranger Things fame alongside Liam Neeson. In the film, two storage facility employees have to contain a dangerous mutant fungus that turns infected hosts into exploding zombies, mixing genuine thrills with dark humor.
Action fans also have some heavy hitters to check out this weekend. Over on Netflix, the military sci-fi thriller War Machine stars Alan Ritchson as an Army Ranger recruit whose final training exercise goes sideways when a mechanical monster starts hunting his squad in the woods. Drawing clear inspiration from classic creature features, the movie leans hard into practical stunts and high stakes.
For those looking to branch out into other genres, the streaming catalog brings a diverse mix of fresh releases. Fantasy and period pieces take center stage with adaptations like 100 Nights of Hero, which brings Isabel Greenberg's graphic novel to life with standout costume design. Whether you are recovering from a competitive ranked grind or just waiting on your friends to jump online for a squad session, these new drops provide a solid lineup for downtime.
