Temperatures may be High, but there’s an unreasonable coldness on screens right now – at least when it comes to some film The shows hit streaming services this month.
Director Yorgos Lanthimos offers a twisted look Frankenstein in Bad things on Netflix, as Shudder explores painful family secrets and adds a side of demonic possession Our mothers’ voices. If you want some summer horror movies that are a little like Halloween, Netflix has that too i am frankilda, An enchanting tour through a world of vivid monsters and nightmares, brought to life in stunning stop motion.
There are also plenty of retro delights appearing on streamers this month that are worth revisiting. Hulu is reinstalling Spielberg Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligencewhich will land very differently in 2026; The Criterion Channel declassifies Sean Connery’s first outing as 007, with Dr. No, from Russia with loveand Goldfinger Coming to the specialized platform; Prime Video combines all three Bill and Ted Back to the Future movies (sorry).
Here are WIRED’s picks for the best movies you can watch right now.
I’m Frankilda
A stunning stop-motion animated outing from Mexico—the first of its kind in the country—this supernatural tale follows Francisca Imelda (Meria Mendoza in the original Spanish and English dub), an aspiring young author in late 19th-century Mexico with a penchant for fantasy and horror. Transported to the brutal world of Topus Terrentus by the Winged Prince Hernevale (Arturo Mercado Jr. in Spanish, Claudius Bridgforth in English), Francisca is tasked with becoming the world’s new “nightmare teller,” responsible for crafting the tales of horror that its inhabitants live by. The only problem is that the role has already been filled, and the power-hungry Procostus (Luis Leonardo Suarez, Mark Lewis), a demonic spider, won’t accept being replaced. A beautifully crafted and visually stunning masterpiece, imagine a combination of both The nightmare before christmas, Pan’s mazeand Alice in Wonderland And you barely On the way to visualizing dark, captivating magic I’m Frankilda.
Bad things
If it arrives Bugonia On Netflix last month, leaving you wanting more from the delightful and warped pairing of director Yorgos Lanthimos and actor (and producer!) Emma Stone, look no further Poor things. Mad scientist Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) has spent years building a personal menagerie of sewn-together chimera animal creatures, but his latest and greatest success is his “daughter” Bella (Stone). A dead woman who was revived and transplanted with the brain of the fetus she was carrying, Bella has childlike disposition but learns and develops quickly, especially under the tutelage of Baxter’s student Max McCandless (Rami Youssef). However, one sexual awakening later, Bella escapes on a tour of Europe with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), encountering remnants of her old life (or body), all while delving into newfound philosophies. Based on the novel of the same name by Scottish author Alasdair Grey, this surreal and darkly comedic reimagining of… Frankenstein It is Lanthimos Peak – a visually opulent and almost indescribable exotic experience.
Bill and Ted Triple
William “Bill” S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) may seem like ordinary teenage slackers in 1988, but by the year 2688, they’re revered as the greats, with the music of their band the Wild Stallynns inspiring a utopian future through the divine principle of being good to each other. Humanity may not have gotten there yet, but here in the year 2026, both are original time travel comedies. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure And its sequel in 1991 Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey– which sees the pair killed by their future robotic versions before fighting Death himself – are definitely a firm favourite.
