Paramount+ is proud to host the entire Scream franchise, including the latest installment, Scream VI. This action-packed neo-slasher is set in New York City and has grossed over $170 million globally. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, also known as Radio Silence, have masterfully combined action and horror to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. With Scream 7 undoubtedly on the horizon, Scream VI will dominate horror rankings throughout May.
Attack the Block: An Instant Classic
Attack the Block quickly became a fan favorite after its 2011 release. Starring John Boyega as Moses, this fast-paced alien invasion adventure showcases his talent before becoming a household name in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In this thrilling tale, a London street gang must protect their block from extraterrestrial monsters wreaking havoc. With a sequel in pre-production, Attack the Block is a must-watch for any horror enthusiast.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers: A Timeless Classic
The 1956 classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers is now available on Paramount+. Kevin McCarthy delivers a paranoid performance as he warns everyone about the impending takeover by mysterious creatures. With a captivating cameo in the 1978 remake featuring Donald Sutherland, Veronica Cartwright, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy, this timeless thriller remains relevant and chilling today.
Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain: A Spectacular Wuxia Fantasy
Tsui Hark’s 1983 film Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain is an outstanding example of Hong Kong’s Wuxia martial arts fantasy genre. Yuen Biao stars as a young soldier caught in a war between two rival armies during the Tang Dynasty. After seeking refuge in the mystical Zu Mountain, he encounters supernatural forces led by a Blood Demon intent on world destruction. This visually stunning film inspired John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China and is available on Paramount+ in a 2K restoration.
