Several high-profile films hit video‑on‑demand this week, including Zach Cregger’s "Weapons," Ethan Coen’s "Honey Don’t!" and Stuart Ortiz’s faux‑documentary "Strange Harvest," the latest batch of titles now available to rent or buy across platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube and via cable on‑demand services.
"Weapons," the follow‑up from director Zach Cregger after 2022’s "Barbarian," stars Julia Garner as third‑grade teacher Justine Gandy, whose students — 17 children in all — mysteriously leave their homes in the middle of the night, setting off alarm and suspicion in a small community. The film also features Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich and Amy Madigan, who plays a memorable supporting role as Aunt Gladys. The tense premise places Justine under scrutiny as investigators and parents seek answers.
"Honey Don’t!" was penned by Ethan Coen with Tricia Cooke and arrived on digital platforms earlier this week. The film follows private investigator Honey O’Donahue, played by Margaret Qualley, who probes a murder tied to a religious cult. Aubrey Plaza co‑stars as MG Falcone, a police officer assigned to the case; the pairing generates friction and chemistry as the investigation unfolds. The movie’s supporting cast includes Chris Evans, Charlie Day and Kristen Connolly.
Stuart Ortiz’s "Strange Harvest" adopts the conventions of true‑crime documentaries to craft a fictional but convincing narrative about two detectives tracking a serial killer hiding in California’s Inland Empire. Ortiz, whose previous credits include the supernatural found‑footage horror "Grave Encounters" and its sequel, wrote and directed the faux documentary.
Beyond those three titles, a wider slate of new releases has been added to on‑demand storefronts this week. Among the films now available to buy or rent are "Somnium," "Tatami Seeds (2025)," "STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie," "Causeway," "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Purgatory Jack," "We Strangers," "Tabby McTat," "Above the Knee," "Whiskey Run," "Finding Lucinda," "1 Hour to Kill," "The Love Zone," "Naked Ambition (2025)," "Ether’s Paradise," "The Fetus," "Men of War," "Bang Bang (2025)," and the documentary "Motherland Sudan, Remember Us."
The roundup reflects a mix of studio releases, independent films and documentaries now circulating on major transactional platforms as well as through cable‑operator on‑demand libraries. Rental and purchase windows vary by film and provider; some titles appear simultaneously on several digital storefronts while others are exclusive to select services for a limited time.
Decider’s guide, compiled by pop culture writer Liz Kocan, updates monthly to track new arrivals across streaming platforms, including service‑specific lists for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Starz, Acorn TV, BritBox and Tubi. Readers seeking the most current availability and release dates are directed to those regularly updated guides for schedules and reviews.
The new VOD additions arrive as studios and distributors continue to rely on digital windows to reach home audiences, offering an array of genres — from psychological thrillers and dark comedies to documentary‑style experiments — that reflect ongoing interest in both star‑driven features and inventive indie projects.
