July 4th has come and gone somehow, and another, hopefully less fireworks-filled weekend is here. As always, the best streaming services are serving up a ton of new movies to pick from for your weekend viewing pleasure, only a small fraction of which are actually worth your time.
Of the new additions this week, "Backrooms" in all its surreal horror is the main headliner. It's fun and hypnotizing and less scary than you might think — and now you can get lost in its liminal, yellowed hell from the comfort of your own couch. Over on Netflix, you can catch Chloe Zhao's haunting period drama "Hamnet" to see if it lives up to last year's Oscar hype. A similarly critically acclaimed cyber-heist thriller, "Wardriver," just landed on Paramount+.
