Hulu is a great streaming service for watching new movies. It regularly adds originals and classics to its library, and, because it's owned by Disney, it's the streaming home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. In short, it's the perfect place to start building your next movie marathon.

This weekend, I have three movies recently added to Hulu that are a must-watch, including a pair of streaming original movies. First, there's "Shelby Oaks," a horror movie from last year that's already developed a cult following. Then, there's "Sirāt," an Oscar-nominated Spanish-language film centered around a father and son searching for a missing family member among raves in the Moroccan desert. Finally, there's "Pizza Movie," which features "Stranger Things" star Gaten Matarazzo and "The Goldbergs" star Sean Giambrone as roommates who make a classic college mistake: getting way too high.

'Shelby Oaks' (2025)

SHELBY OAKS - Official Trailer #2 - In Theaters October 24 - YouTube SHELBY OAKS - Official Trailer #2 - In Theaters October 24 - YouTube
Watch On

Genre: Supernatural horror mystery

What's it about? A group of YouTubers known as the Paranormal Paranoids goes to investigate the ghost town of Shelby Oaks, but none come out alive. Only Riley (Sarah Durn) might still be alive, and years later, her sister Mia (Camillele Sullivan) might finally have a way to find her.

Why you should watch it: This movie is definitively a supernatural horror flick, so if that's not your vibe, you probably won't have a good time. But if you like horror that deals with demonic possession and hellhounds, "Shelby Oaks" is worth a watch this weekend.

'Sirāt' (2025)

Watch On

Genre: Spanish drama

What's it about? Luis (Sergi López) and his son, Esteban (Bruno Núñez Arjona), are searching for Mar, Luis' daughter and Esteban's sister. They arrive at a rave in the southern Moroccan deserts, but don't find her there. So now, they must push deeper into the desert in search of another rave she might have gone to.

Why you need to watch it: This movie has a thrilling drama at the center, but it's all about the sound in this story of ravehopping. If you want a cinematic experience different from what's currently out in theaters, "Sirāt" is definitely it.

'Pizza Movie' (2026)

Genre: Stoner comedy

What's it about? Jack (Gaten Matarazzo) and Montgomery (Sean Giambrone) are college roommates. One day, they do what college roommates do: they decide to get high. But they took the wrong drug. Now, they're tripping on "M.I.N.T.S.," and the only cure is to eat pizza delivered to them by drone.

Why you should watch it: Like many stoner comedies, the premise of "Pizza Movie" may seem simple and sophomoric. But that doesn't mean you won't have a blast with it. If you liked "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" or "Pineapple Express," you'll probably have a good time with this movie.
