A must-watch for fans of claustrophobic horrors and thrillers.
Prime Video has just added 24 huge movies to its library, while Netflix have added one of the best revenge movies of recent years to its service.
However, if none of these 25 films appeal to you, here are the cinematic offerings airing on TV tonight.
Honeymoon – Horror Xtra – 9pm
Our pick for tonight is this 2014 horror thriller about a newly wed couple named Paul and Bea (played by Harry Treadaway and Rose Leslie) who travel to a secluded Canadian forest to spend their honeymoon in a rustic cabin.
However, the idyllic vacation begins to take a sinister turn after Paul wakes up in the middle of the night to find Bea wandering and disoriented in the woods.
The directorial debut of Leigh Janiak (who made Netflix’s great Fear Street trilogy of horror movies), Honeymoon’s intense performances, portrait of a rapidly crumbling marriage and disturbing plot developments should get under viewers’ skin.
Along with airing on TV tonight, the film is available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play and Rakuten TV. You can check out its trailer right here:
