The beginning of 2026 has become a true showcase for the horror genre. While Sam Raimi triumphantly returns with the hit "Evil Dead Rise" (almost $20 million in its opening weekend), and YouTuber Markiplier surprises the industry with the success of "Iron Lung," home viewing offers a more diverse palette of emotions. We have gathered a trio of favorites from Prime Video.
"John Candy: I Like Myself" (2025)
Rating: Rotten Tomatoes: 89%, IMDb: 8.0.
A fresh documentary hit that became a real event after last year's festival screenings. The film looks behind the mask of the legendary comedian whose life was cut short too soon. It is not just a list of the creative achievements of the star of "Spaceballs," but a deep exploration of the humanity and vulnerability of a person who made the whole world laugh.
"La La Land" (2016)
Rating: Rotten Tomatoes: 91%, IMDb: 8.0.
A modern classic by Damien Chazelle, perfectly suited for creating a romantic mood. The story of Mia and Sebastian is a visually impeccable reflection on the price of dreams. Six Academy Awards and the magical chemistry between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling make this musical a must-watch if you happened to miss it (or want to enjoy it again).
"Sisu" (2022)
Rating: Rotten Tomatoes: 94%, IMDb: 6.9.
For those craving adrenaline and uncompromising action. A Finnish action film about a gold digger who engages in a bloody showdown with Nazis in the wild forests of Lapland. The film lasts only 91 minutes, but each one is filled with dynamism and spectacular enemy destruction. This is a movie about the indomitable spirit, where the main character hardly speaks, allowing actions to speak for themselves.
