3 New to Hulu Movies You Need to Stream This Weekend: Including a Fan-Favorite Florence Pugh Flick

As October begins, Hulu is rolling out an impressive collection of fresh titles just in time for the spooky season. Whether you are looking for heart-pounding suspense or acclaimed drama, these three must-stream movies arriving on the platform this weekend provide the perfect excuse to settle in for a cinematic binge-session.

1. 'Barbarian' (2022)

For those seeking a masterclass in tension, Zach Cregger’s directorial debut is a must-watch. Starring Georgina Campbell as a traveler who finds her rental home double-booked with a mysterious stranger (played by Bill Skarsgård), the film masterfully twists expectations. It is widely considered one of the most unpredictable horror films of recent years, boasting a stellar 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is the perfect, terrifying lead-up to your Halloween watch list.

2. 'The Substance' (2024)

Demi Moore delivers a career-defining, fearless performance in this body-horror satire directed by Coralie Fargeat. Moore portrays a fading Hollywood icon who resorts to a dangerous black-market drug to regain her youth, with shocking and visceral consequences. Fresh off a string of award nominations, including a Best Actress nod for Moore, this film is as intellectually stimulating as it is stomach-churning.

3. 'Midsommar' (2019)

If you are a fan of Florence Pugh, revisit her critically acclaimed performance in Ari Aster’s folk-horror masterpiece. Set against the unsettling, sun-drenched backdrop of a Swedish midsummer festival, the story follows a couple whose relationship unravels as they are pulled into the orbit of a disturbing pagan cult. It remains an ambitious, visually stunning, and deeply unsettling watch that cemented Pugh as a powerhouse of modern cinema.

With these three diverse additions to Hulu, your weekend entertainment is well-covered. Grab the popcorn and prepare for a marathon of thrills, chills, and brilliant performances.
