Winona Ryder wants answers in the new thriller Gone in the Night

Stranger Things 4, Volume 2 is going to be one of the streaming events of the summer. However, series star Winona Ryder has another project set to debut during the hottest months of the year. Ryder is also slated to headline the upcoming theatrical thriller Gone in the Night. Ryder plays Kath, a woman who just wanted to get away with her boyfriend for a romantic vacation. But as the trailer reveals, Kath gets far more than she bargained for when they encounter another couple at their rental.

At first, the two couples appear to get along, and they even play a board game together. Regardless, Kath is a bit unnerved to watch her boyfriend flirting with the other woman. And she is caught completely off guard when they apparently run off together, leaving Kath behind with her rival’s jilted boyfriend. But Kath just can’t leave it at that. While she believes that she’s been abandoned, Kath wants to know why. And it’s that search that will take her further into danger as she attempts to track down the woman.

“When Kath and her boyfriend arrive at a remote cabin in the Redwoods, they find a mysterious young couple already there. But when her boyfriend disappears with the young woman, Kath becomes obsessed with finding an explanation.”

John Gallagher Jr. co-stars in the film as Kath’s boyfriend. We’d love to tell you his name, or the names of any of the other characters, but Vertical has yet to share that info. We do know that the other couple is played by Owen Teague and Brianne Tju, while Dermot Mulroney is portraying the man who rented the cabin to both couples. Mulroney’s character also teams up with Kath on her investigation, but the trailer makes it look like he has something to hide as well.

Eli Horowitz directed Gone in the Night from a script he co-wrote with Matthew Derby. It will be released theatrically on July 15, with a digital and on-demand release following on August 2.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
