3 Thrillers Recently In Theaters That Are Already Streaming
Theatrical windows are short in the modern era. How short? One of these newly-released films hit streaming just 18 days after its theatrical debut.
To be fair, none of these three thrillers were the widest of wide releases, so not everyone had a decent chance to see them on the big screen. Also, with so many movies coming out right now, these three were all pushed out of most theaters fairly quickly. So, it’s good news that we can watch them at home, and it’s a positive that they can continue earning money while still fresh on people’s minds.
All three of these films began streaming on April 22nd, 2025. They’re currently at PVOD prices (from $9.99 to $19.99 for a rental) on all platforms. No official announcement has been made for any of them about their subscription-streaming dates, but you can check Creepy Catalog’s massive New & Upcoming Horror Movies tracker for dates and links whenever they become available.
