For fans of musical theater, "Hadestown: The Musical" offers a filmed rendition of the acclaimed stage show. The production features original Broadway cast members such as Andre De Shields, Patrick Page, Reeve Carney, Eva Noblezada, and Amber Gray. Written by Anais Mitchell, the musical draws on Greek mythology, retelling the stories of Hades and Persephone, and Orpheus and Eurydice. This filmed version is also available to rent.
"Her Private Hell," a dystopian thriller directed by Nicholas Winding Refn, stars Sophie Thatcher as Elle, a young woman searching for her father amidst a mysterious mist that has enveloped her futuristic city. The film has been noted for its style and Thatcher's performance. It is available to rent on digital platforms, with Charles Melton, Kristine Froseth, and Havana Rose Liu in supporting roles.
