Together, locked inside a protective cage, these thrill-seeking siblings are face-to-face with a group of great whites. But when their cage breaks away from the boat, the sisters are sent plummeting to the bottom of the ocean with their oxygen disappearing fast.
3. The Hunt (2020) — HBO, Available Now
Among the other scary movies releasing to streaming this weekend is the 2020 film The Hunt, a horror thriller that follows a group of 12 strangers who wake up in a clearing with no clue where they are or how they got there. The group soon discovers that elite hunters are after them, intending to hunt the group for sport.
You might have heard about this film because of the backlash and controversy when the first trailer came out. It is meant as a satire of the political divide between the left and right in America. The Hunt stars Betty Gilpin, Ike Barinholtz, Amy Madigan, Emma Roberts, Ethan Suplee, and Hilary Swank.
