It ’s been over a week sinceour inclination of Netflix recommendations , so here ’s another raft of moving-picture show to add to your binge - watch batch . This time , they ’re all on Hulu , which ( added bonus ) also contains all 11 time of year of Aqua Teen Hunger Force , in lawsuit you get too freak out by any of the pursuit .
1) Snowpiercer
Inspired by a French comedian , gorgeously shot by Bong Joon - ho ( The Host ) , and star Chris Evans in a very unlike heroic vena than anything he gets to do in the Avengers film , Snowpiercer is a motion-picture show that does n’t just hold up after multiple showing , but in reality gets better .
excuse to Hitchcock , but Snowpiercer might be the most dynamic and exciting movie ever to be gear up only on a train . Tilda Swinton ’s fearsome yet eerily comical performance is a highlight , as is the picture show ’s singular power to convey lifespan that ’s completely get along to a dead end even as it transpires on a fomite that ’s thundering forward at great speed .
2) Children of the Stars
If you see only one documentary about a Southern California cult that believed in UFOs and intergalactic retiring lives and made gloriously cheesy cinema exploring their beliefs for public - admittance television … you’d better make it Children of the Stars .
3) Scanners
Hulu has a few David Cronenberg selections tucked into its subroutine library , thanks to its quislingism with the Criterion Collection .
Scanners get a stack of well - deserve honey for its fantastic explode head scene , which come about in act one ( snake pit , it ’s in the drone ) and lease you know , in no uncertain term , that this movie is not gon na fuck around . But it ’s more than just a picture with one spectacular special effect — it ’s a potent thriller about baleful scientific discipline , telekinesis , family secret , earth - domination scheme , and evil Michael Ironside .
4) Ginger Snaps
mellow school in suburbia is a drag , especially when your best and only admirer — who also happens to be your older baby — turn into a sanguinary wolfman .
The event is a blend of sarcasm , horror , and teen angst ( and a mash - up of its contemporaries , including films like Jawbreaker , The Craft , and She ’s All That ) . Ginger Snaps is not always subtle , but it ’s still swell playfulness to view .
5) The American Astronaut
Just your standard - issue Western about blank space change of location that looks like it was made in the twenties , in the elbow room next threshold to The Forbidden Zone , with jaunty musical interlude composed by its writer , manager , and star . Yep .
Cory McAbee ’s The American Astronaut came out in 2001 , but it ’s really timeless — and , needless to say , all unlike anything you ’ve ever see before .
6) Primer
Primer is a motion-picture show with a metre - change of location secret plan so complex you may become obsessed with solve all the riddles contained in its narrative . ( Google “ Primer movie explained ” if you get too disappointed , and you will realize this is not rare . ) Not bad for something that was made for just $ 7,000 .
We included Upstream Color , Shane Carruth ’s Primer follow - up , onour Netflix listbecause it ’s just as amazing and even more baffling . His next film , The Modern Ocean , has a Hollywood castand sound like a bit of a departure from his first two film , but we ’re still excited . If only we had a time machine , we would jump forward and see it already .
7) Equinox
Primer is an telling low - budget effort , but Equinox cost even less ( $ 6,500 , though that ’s in late-1960s dollar mark ) and it contains way more than just a sentence motorcar . The plot follows a group of kidskin who stumble upon a doomed book … and unleash terrible horror , many of which are rendered in stop - movement . ( Co - director Dennis Muren later get his self-aggrandizing break working on the particular effect for Star Wars . )

The welfare of hindsight adds a certain glow to Equinox , but it is a truly eccentric relic of the drive - in earned run average . The fact that it has a Criterion edition is test copy that the moving-picture show gods live .
8) Highlander
include because on those night when you ’re like , “ I just want to watch something good , mightily now , with this piping - red-hot pizza that just go far , and not expend 30 bit scrolling through all the choice , ” the reply is always either large bother in Little China or Highlander . Hulu does n’t have Big Trouble , but it does have Highlander ( and Highlander 2 : The Quickening , if you ’re look for an encore ) .
9) The Innkeepers
It ’s the last weekend before a historical hotel closes forever , and the only two remaining employees drop their final shifts poking into the establishment ’s signature ghost story .
Though The Innkeepers ’ story is quite familiar , author - director Ti West ( House of the Devil ) keeps things fresh by mixing wry humour with some echt frights . Kelly McGillis has a nice turn as one of the inn ’s few guests , a once - famous actress who has leave Hollywood behind in party favour of the intent world , and Lena Dunham has a fun if random cameo as a chatty coffee tree - workshop worker .
10) Blue Sunshine
Hulu ’s interlingual rendition of the Zalman King - starring LSD freakout movie Blue Sunshine is in person introduced by Elvira , Mistress of the Dark , who pops in throughout the movie to proffer saucy comment . It is a magic combination .
11) The Last Winter
Ron Perlman and Connie Britton star in actor - director Larry Fessenden ’s parky environmental tree creeper , about oil colour party employees tasked with building an ice road in the most remote part of Alaska .
The mystical forcefulness of nature , however , have other architectural plan . Extremely malevolent design .
12) House
Another Criterion selection , Japanese queerness House is a sensational wonder of fantasy , horror , and “ WTF DID I JUST SEE ? ” moments . You will lie with it , or it will aim you completely harebrained . Or if you ’re lucky : both .
