There\u2019s tons of horror movies about the dead coming back to life. None of them are quite like Handling the Undead<\/em>, though. Based on John Ajvide Lindqvist\u2019s 2005 novel, the film follows the story of three families living in Oslo whose loved ones all mysteriously rise from the dead as semi-sentient corpses.

Justice Smith stars as Owen, an isolated teenager who forms a bond with an older classmate, Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine), over a television series called The Pink Opaque<\/em>. As the years wear on, however, it gradually becomes clear to Owen that there\u2019s more to the show \u2014 and his own reality \u2014 than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

New on Prime Video<\/h2>\n

Challengers<\/h3>\n

Where to watch:<\/strong> Available to stream on Prime Video<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Sports drama
Run time: <\/strong>2h 11m
Director: <\/strong>Luca Guadagnino
Cast: <\/strong>Zendaya, Josh O\u2019Connor, Mike Faist<\/p>\n

Luca Guadagnino\u2019s sensual sports drama, about a love triangle in professional tennis, has set certain circles of the world on fire since its release in late April, and it is\u00a0one of the best movies of the year<\/a>. Now, you can enjoy it at home.<\/p>\n

From our review<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

That script is a terrific three-course meal for Faist and O\u2019Connor. They get to trade off face and heel roles from scene to scene and era to era, as Art and Patrick help and hurt each other in equal measure. But it\u2019s an absolute smorgasbord for Zendaya, who even in starring roles<\/a> has never been given this much room<\/a> to stretch. Tashi is a gratifyingly rich character, both righteously angry over the thwarting of her ambitions and cruelly angry at all the men who have the nerve to keep on playing the game that was taken away from her. She\u2019s hungry for affection and withholding it at the same time, by turns sensually curious and coldly dispassionate, ambitious and exhausted, conflicted and confident. She\u2019s the kind of character that media master\u2019s theses are made of, and unpicking Tashi\u2019s conflicting motives and how she integrates them is likely to become a pop culture obsession in the months to come.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

KiKi Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk<\/em>) stars in this musical drama as Dandelion, a struggling singer-songwriter who travels the country performing gigs, all the while yearning for a career breakthrough she fears will never happen. After striking up a romance with Casey (Thomas Doherty), a fellow disgruntled musician, their love proves to be the inadvertent catalyst for Dandelion\u2019s discovery of an authentic artistic voice all her own.<\/p>\n
