Suicide Squad star Joel Kinnaman's The Silent Hour is doing very well on Hulu. The 2024 crime thriller was very recently atop the streamer's Top 10 most-watched movie chart.

Per FlixPatrol, The Silent Hour is currently second, dethroned on January 16 by Simone Stock's The Girl Locked Upstairs: The Tanya Kach Story. Kinnaman's movie has managed to hold off competition from the Twilight franchise, which rounds out the top 5 with three of its films; the original Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The 2022 psychological horror survival film Fall is in the sixth spot, followed by the first three film entries from Keanu Reeves' popular action franchise John Wick. The fifth and final Twilight installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, closes out the Top 10.

A young couple and their child move into possessed home in this turgid tale plagued by diabolical dubbed-in dialogue

This turgid horror feature starts with a young couple in the present: American-accented Alyson (Jennifer Mischiati) and faintly German-sounding Richard (Christoph Hülsen), who move into Alyson’s old home with their infant son after her father commits suicide. That sounds like a bad idea from the start, but then it gets markedly worse. Alyson is plagued by memories of her unhappy childhood in the house, abused by a seamstress mother with mental health issues, while a ghostly apparition that looks like a ravaged mannequin in a greasy wig crops up on the regular to make everyone scream. Eventually the baby gets abducted soon after a visit from a priest (Sean James Sutton) who proves useless at ridding the house of its demonic presence.

Soon after, a bespectacled psychic (Michael Segal) comes...

Stars: Steffi Thake, Sean James Sutton, Mikhail Basmadjian, Rambert Attard, Andrew Bonello | Written by Ivan Malekin | Directed by Ivan Malekin, Sarah Jayne

Billed as a psychological horror film, Machination opens with a brief shot of Maria floating in the ocean before launching into a credit sequence filled with images of hypodermic needles, microbes, hypodermic needles and infection rates. Yes, it’s yet another pandemic-driven microbudget genre effort. This one totally improvised and shot for a little over six thousand dollars

As the film proper begins Maria takes a bus home to her sunny, spacious apartment, quickly strips down to her underwear and washes herself before donning a fresh pair of gloves to put her clothes in the washing machine and then wash her shoes and the furniture near the door. A little excessive maybe? That takes up almost the first ten minutes of this hour-long film. And apart from the...
