This week’s new movies on VOD include some major hits from this summer and fall, including the superhero blockbuster Venom: The Last Dance, and Hugh Grant taking a turn for the creepy in Heretic. But since it’s the season to be jolly, after all, why not check out the festive comedy The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to get in the moment?
The new holiday film stars Judy Greer and Pete Holmes as Grace and Bob Bradley, the directors of a local Christmas pageant that inadvertently gets hijacked by a family of miscreant kids, the Herdmans. With all six Herdman siblings somehow getting cast in the show (they sneaked into the church to steal snacks…relatable), it’s up to Grace and Bob to make do with what the Lord has given them and ensure the pageant isn’t a disaster.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
Venom: The Last Dance marks the third and final film in the Venom series. The Last Dance was witten and directed by Kelly Marcel, who also wrote the story with Hardy and this third movie finds journalist Eddie Brock (Hardy) on the run with his new alien pal that sometimes takes over his body. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham also star in the Venom 3 cast.
Written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Heretic stars Yellowjackets actress Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as two young missionaries who find themselves in danger after knocking on the front door of Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). Reed looks harmless enough, but the two women soon discover that looks can be very deceiving, and the man is a danger to them and everything they believe. Topher Grace and Elle Young co-star.
