Michael C. Hall is famous for playing the complex character Dexter Morgan, a compelling antihero and serial killer, over two decades. The original series, which ran for eight seasons, still has a dedicated fanbase despite a controversial ending, and has now spawned three spinoffs, with the newest one, Resurrection, quickly becoming a favorite among viewers.
James Mangold’s Identity starts like a typical murder mystery, featuring a group of recognizable actors. However, as people begin to die at a remote motel, it quickly becomes clear this isn’t a simple whodunit. The film cleverly hides its true nature, culminating in a genuinely shocking twist that will leave you surprised. It’s a thriller that goes far beyond the usual mystery formula.
Hurst previously played a character remarkably similar to a tough, complicated biker – much like those seen in Kurt Sutter’s acclaimed crime drama. He took on this role in a little-known 2016 TV show set in the Kentucky Appalachian Mountains. The series centers on the Farrell family, who have lived independently off the land for generations. When a large coal company tries to take their property, the Farrells are forced into a violent struggle to defend their home, their traditions, and their family history.
The late 1990s saw a revival of slasher films thanks to Scream. Without it, movies like Valentine, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cherry Falls, Halloween: H20, and the Urban Legend series likely wouldn’t have been made. Scream also heavily influenced the hugely popular Scary Movie franchise, meaning we might not have those iconic parodies either.
If you loved the movie and want to watch something similar, there are plenty of dark and suspenseful thrillers available to stream. These films, which either inspired this one or share a style with director Paul Feig’s other work, make great double features.
Several Mission: Impossible movies will no longer be available on Netflix after May 1st. This includes the original 1996 film, as well as Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), Mission: Impossible 3 (2006), Ghost Protocol (2011), and Rogue Nation (2015). Fans of the series may be disappointed, especially since these films were only recently added to Netflix alongside Dead Reckoning (2023) on April 1st.

In December 2025, Arian Cartaya, who played Rich in the HBO Max series, shared a video showing a rehearsal for a scene that wasn’t included in the final version of IT: Welcome to Derry. The scene featured Lilly, Rich, Ronnie, and Will meeting in their clubhouse—a hideout where they planned how to defeat the villain, known as “the clown,” throughout the series.
Several popular Marvel Cinematic Universe actors, such as Hayley Atwell and Robert Downey Jr., have openly shared their disappointments with the franchise, despite continuing to work with Marvel. They join others, including Christian Bale and Idris Elba, who have spoken out about issues like fast-paced production schedules and a lack of creative storytelling.
I first saw Strangers on a Train and was immediately hooked! It’s based on a novel from the 50s, and the story is just brilliantly unsettling – and surprisingly funny as it unfolds. It didn’t get a ton of praise right away, but it really found its audience with thriller fans like me, and now people consider it one of Hitchcock’s absolute best films. It’s a masterpiece, honestly.
