‘Apex’
While Charlize Theron is known for her action movies, this survival thriller has plenty of natural splendor to go with the high-stakes danger. She plays a grieving rock climber in Australia for solace after a tragic loss, and Taron Egerton is out of his mind as the sadistic serial killer hunting and chasing her through rivers and mountains.

‘Greenland 2: The Migration’
The post-apocalyptic sequel catches up with engineer John Garrity (Gerard Butler) and his family five years after a comet wiped out much of civilization.

‘Hallow Road’
Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys star in the thriller as a couple who get a worrisome call from their daughter that she’s hit a young girl on a remote road.

‘Send Help’
Rachel McAdams enjoys one of her most fun and unhinged roles outside of Regina George in Sam Raimi’s dark comedy/thriller.

She thrives and he struggles, and the situation grows gory and bonkers.

‘Wuthering Heights’
With Emerald Fennell’s Gothic and saucy take on Emily Brontë’s classic novel, it’s best to just sit back and immerse yourself in the sensory overload.
