As the sun graces us with longer days and warmer nights, it’s time to embrace the spirit of adventure without ever leaving your couch. From the bustling streets of Budapest to the frozen landscapes of Antarctica, here are some must-watch films on Netflix, Prime Video, Shudder, Hulu and Criterion that will transport you far beyond your living room.

Prime Video's Pretty Lethal, a bloody ballet battle royale in Budapest, offers not just an adrenaline-fuelled escapade but a thrilling dance through the city’s cobblestone streets. Meanwhile, Netflix's My Hero Academia: You're Next promises dynamic action and plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat, even if you're already well into summer.

In the spirit of tropical flair, Hulu presents Send Help, a twisty survival horror that might just make you think twice about turning off your emails. And for those who prefer their adventures cold and chilling, Criterion's re-release of John Carpenter’s classics The Thing (and its 1950s inspiration) promise to chill you to the core.

For a more complex narrative, Bugonia on Prime Video is a masterclass in suspense. Based on the work of Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone, it explores themes of vengeance, conspiracy theories and alien invasions with a unique twist. Meanwhile, Good Boy on Netflix takes a fresh perspective, allowing you to see the world through a dog's eyes – a clever and effective way to add an extra layer of fear and mystery.

If you crave something more grounded but still thrilling, Heresy from Shudder offers a rich and atmospheric exploration of feminist horror. Director Didier Konings crafts a tale of oppression and control in a medieval Dutch village, questioning the power dynamics that often plague women’s lives. With its blend of folk horror and social commentary, it proves that sometimes, the most sinister forces are those found within.
