There are some great movies coming to US streaming services this month, including Wish on Disney+, The Zone of Interest on Max, and The Holdovers on Prime Video.
Below is a rundown of all the biggest movie releases that are available to stream in April.
Let us know which movies you will be watching in the comments below.
Shazam Fury of the Gods (2023)
Release Date: April 1
Where To Watch: Hulu
Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still trying to get to grips with their superpowers when a vengeful trio of ancient gods arrives on Earth in search of a magical stone that was taken from them years before.

When a young girl named Asha (Ariana DeBose) wishes on a star, she gets more than she bargained for when a trouble-making star comes down from the sky to join her. Together, they embark on a quest to save the community from a formidable foe – the fearsome King Magnifico (Chris Pine).

The Exorcist: Believer (2023)
Release Date: April 9
Where To Watch: Prime Video
David Gordon Green, the director of the rebooted Halloween trilogy, is at the helm of this latest addition to the Exorcist franchise. But despite the presence of Ellen Burstyn, who returns as Chris MacNeil (the mother of Regan, the possessed child in the first film), this wasn’t well-received by critics at the time of its release.
Despite the movie’s failings, it’s better than the other sequels that followed The Exorcist, so is worth a look if you’re a fan of the first movie.

The Greatest Hits (2024)
Release Date: April 12
Where To Watch: Hulu
Listening to old songs can send us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but none of us expect them to send us back in time to where we were when we first heard them.
But for Harriet (Lucy Boynton), the protagonist of this tale, that is exactly what happens when her music literally transports her back in time on a romantic journey into the past.
Late Night With the Devil (2023)

Where To Watch: Shudder
Horror novelist Stephen King raved about this new chiller after being given a screener for this upcoming release, so what further recommendation do you need to watch it?
