Happy Friday, Polygon movie watchers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.
This week, Haunted Mansion, the new supernatural horror comedy starring LaKeith Stanfield and Tiffany Haddish and based on the Disney theme park ride, comes to streaming on Disney Plus. The Nun II, the sequel to the 2018 supernatural horror thriller starring Taissa Farmiga, is available to rent on VOD along with Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 3 starring Denzel Washington. The Boogeyman comes to Hulu, along with a host of other exciting new releases on Peacock, Prime Video, Netflix, Paramount Plus, and more.
Here’s everything new to watch this weekend!
Where to watch: Available to stream on Netflix
Genre: Erotic thriller
Run time: 1h 53m
Director: Chloe Domont
Cast: Phoebe Dynevor, Alden Ehrenreich, Eddie Marsan
Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) and Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) star in this erotic thriller as two co-workers at an elite hedge fund whose secret engagement is jeopardized when one of them is promoted. Is this a ploy by their supervisor (Eddie Marsan) to set them against one another? Can their relationship withstand the pressure?
Where to watch: Available to stream on Disney Plus
Genre: Horror comedy
Run time: 2h 3m
Director: Justin Simien
Cast: LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Owen Wilson
After discovering that their new home is haunted by ghosts, a widowed doctor and her son enlist the aid of a group of paranormal investigators to exorcise the spirits. Things don’t go exactly as planned, however, forcing the team to improvise against an onslaught of ghoulish apparitions.
From our review:
In 2003, Verbinski distanced Pirates of the Caribbean from being a theme park movie. In 2023, Simien and crew revel in the fact that Haunted Mansion is one. Simien could’ve simply just leaned on the theme park of it all, like 2021’s Jungle Cruise, but he committed to getting all the little details on screen — and he committed hard. It’s full-throttle indulgence, and a full 180 from the Pirates of the Caribbean take on theme park movies. Both takes work, though this time around, the niche in-jokes might not hit with everyone. But for the subset it resonates with, Haunted Mansion is a grim, grinning delight.
Where to watch: Available to stream on Hulu
Genre: Supernatural horror
Run time: 1h 38m
Director: Rob Savage
Cast: Sophie Thatcher, Chris Messina, Vivien Lyra Blair
Based on Stephen King’s 1973 short story of the same name, The Boogeyman follows a teenage girl named Sadie (Sophie Thatcher) and her younger sister, Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair), who find themselves inexplicably stalked by a malevolent otherworldly presence

The Strangers is getting a trilogy of new movies from the director of Die Hard 2
The creepy home invasion horror movie The Strangers has become a bit of a cult classic since its release in 2008. While the series did garner a 2018 sequel, The Strangers: Prey By Night, it never quite spawned the franchise you might expect from a hit horror movie. But director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Exorcist: The Beginning) and Lionsgate are here to fix that with a trilogy of new Strangers movies inspired by the originals.
