Mashable offers watch guides for all of the above, broken down by genre: comedy, thriller, horror, documentary, and animation, among others. But if you’re seeking something brand new (or just new to streaming), we’ve got you covered there, too.
18. *Five Nights at Freddy’s 2*
The killer animatronics of your nightmares return in *Five Nights at Freddy’s 2*, based on Scott Cawthon’s hit horror game franchise. This time around, Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy aren’t the only animatronics in play. There’s also their “toy” versions to contend with, along with Marionette, Mangle, and Balloon Boy. That’s certainly no fun for security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson), but it’s plenty of fun for game fans.
Like the first film, *Five Nights at Freddy’s 2* was a box office smash, but critics didn’t take too kindly to it, with Mashable’s Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko writing in her review that, “like the first one, this sequel has just a deadly amount of talking, with too little scares, jokes, or surprises.” — *Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter*
Starring: Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Teo Briones
How to watch: *Five Nights at Freddy’s 2* debuts on Peacock on April 3.
17. *The Housemaid*
Looking for a trashy popcorn movie? Well, *The Housemaid *should satisfy on that level.
Based on Freida McFadden’s novel of the same name, *The Housemaid *stars Sydney Sweeney as a desperate young woman grateful for the titular job and eager to please her mercurial new boss, played by Amanda Seyfried in psycho-biddy mode. While movie audiences turned out in droves for this sexy thriller, I couldn’t help but wish its leading ladies were evenly matched in go-for-it gravitas. As I wrote in my review, “In this battle of wild wills, Seyfried is left to shadowbox while Sweeney sleepwalks. Far from fun, *The Housemaid *is underwhelming as an erotic thriller, a dark comedy, and even a Sydney Sweeney movie.”* — K.P.*
Starring: Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar
How to watch: *The Housemaid *is now streaming on Starz.
16. *Crime 101*
You might not know his name, but Bart Layton has been making some of the most thought-provoking true crime films of the last 15 years. In 2012, he delivered the mind-bending documentary *The Imposter*, which delved into a missing persons case that’s way, way stranger than fiction. In 2018, he blended fact and fiction — well, narrative and documentary filmmaking — with *American Animals, *which used big-name actors to reenact a crime while the real criminals reflect on the movie’s making in talking-head interviews and on the set. Now, he’s adapting Don Winslow’s 2010 novella *Crime 101*. Expect twists and WTF turns.

15. *Atomic*
This British drama series aired in the UK last summer. But now we can get into the thrills stateside.
